Abstract
This first specialized chapter deals with the awaited generalization to mechanical behaviours that deviate from linear elasticity and standard Newtonian viscous fluids, that is, elasticity in large deformations and the rheology of complex fluids. These extensions were kindled by the mechanics of rubber elasticity and artificial fabrics and of fluids with high viscosity and visco-plastic response. It happens that the same scientists were involved in these two lines as a result of a required focus on the bases of continuum mechanics, in particular the theory of finite deformations in a rational geometric background, and the need to account for complex flow features in some fluids. Ronald Rivlin, with his incommensurable contributions, is the great hero in this adventure. Other scientists whose work was seminal are initially E. Bingham, M. Reiner, L.G.R. Treloar, P. J. Flory, M.A. Mooney, and F.D. Murnaghan, and more recently J.G. Oldroyd, A.E. Green, J.L. Ericksen, C.A. Truesdell, B.D. Coleman, and W. Noll. The survey includes the models of neo-Hookean materials, Mooney-Rivlin materials, Rivlin-Ericksen fluids, and unsuccessful attempts such as those of Reiner-Rivlin fluids and hypoelasticity. Appropriately introduced tools have been those of Rivlin-Ericksen tensors, Oldroyd and Jaumann time derivatives, and invariant representations of scalar and tensorvalued functions. Through Rivlin and his co-workers the whole carries a strong print of British applied mathematics although Italian and Russian contributions to nonlinear elasticity cannot be overlooked. The mechanics of soft living tissues has now become the best field of application of these developments.
