The use of a phenomenological model to describe relaxation in the glassy state is reviewed, and it is shown that many important glass transition phenomena may be interpreted in this way. The key parameters of the model (the non-linearity parameter x, the non-exponentiality parameter b, and the appar
## Abstract The dynamic transition of nematics in (slow) shear from flow‐aligning to tumbling behaviour is here predicted by using the rigid rod‐like molecular model together with an extension of the Maier‐Saupe mean‐field potential. Such an extension, already available in the literature with refer
