Summary: Fourier‐Transform rheology (FT rheology) was used to study the influence of the degree of branching on the nonlinear relaxation behaviour of polystyrene solutions. The results were compared with those obtained under oscillatory shear and step‐shear conditions. The different topologies could be distinguished using FT rheology where the other rheological measurements failed. Significant differences occurred under large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) conditions as particularly reflected in the phase difference of the third harmonic, Φ3, which could be related to strain‐softening and strain‐hardening behaviour. Currently, this work is extended towards different topologies in polyolefins (e.g. long chain branched).

In this paper, we have analyzed the mathematical model of various nonlinear oscillators arising in different fields of engineering. Further, approximate solutions for different variations in oscillators are studied by using feedforward neural networks (NNs) based on the backpropagated Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (BLMA). A data set for different problem scenarios for the supervised learning of BLMA has been generated by the Runge–Kutta method of order 4 (RK-4) with the “NDSolve” package in Mathematica. The worth of the approximate solution by NN-BLMA is attained by employing the processing of testing, training, and validation of the reference data set. For each model, convergence analysis, error histograms, regression analysis, and curve fitting are considered to study the robustness and accuracy of the design scheme. 相似文献
