Dynamics of viscoelastic ribbons
ORAL
Abstract
A reduced model is presented for the dynamics of slender ribbons of viscoelastic fluid. The model is used to explore the effects of viscoelasticity on the dynamics of a curling ribbon, a drooping cantilever, buckling sheets, snap-through and a falling catenary.
