Description
Title: The Antman-Seidman viscoelastic rod model with self-contact
Abstract: For motion of a viscoelastic rod in 3-space it may become necessary to consider the possibility of large deformations causing nonlocal lateral self-contact. The effect of this is here modeled by a short-range repulsive force preventing any interpenetration of distinct parts of the rod. [Similar considerations apply to the interaction of multiple rods.] Our major emphasis in this talk is on well-posedness of this model.
[This involves collaborative work with S.S.Antman and with K.A.Hoffman.]
