Notes:
The rheological behavior of dilute solutions of flexible macromolecules is studied by means of a freely jointed multiple bead-rod model. The solution of the equations describing the mechanics of the system is obtained by means of a numerical procedure, which applies to arbitrary flow conditions. The case of the transient stress in uniaxial elongational flow is developed in some detail. A comparison with bead-spring models shows both quantitative and qualitative differences which are briefly discussed.
