Using the Rouse-Zimm model of the macromolecule, the stress constitutive equation of dilute polymer solutions is derived in the form of a functional of temperature and deformation histories. The non-equilibrium thermodynamics of the system is also considered by relating excess freeenergy, entropy a

## Abstract A continuum modification of the beadβspring (elastic dumbbell) theory of dilute solutions of linear macromolecules, recently introduced by Gordon and Schowalter, is used to obtain explicit constitutive equations for the stress and polarizability tensors. The stress constitutive equation
## Abstract The chain stiffness of linear native DNA is represented by a generalized bead and spring model recently proposed. It incorporates molecular rigidity by means of springs between beads, which are second neighbors along the contour of the chain. These springs are equivalent to elastic forc
## Abstract A constitutive equation which has proven quite successful in describing the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of dilute polymer solutions is extended to the case of molten polymers. The techniques utilized and similar to those discussed by Ferry in a similar adaptation of the RouseβZimm T
