Abstract
We study the response of the constitutive theory in steady simple shearing and steady extensional flows. We show: (i) that the theory qualitatively reproduces the experimentally-observed transient shear-thinning and normal stress effects during shearing flows of a polymer melt; and (ii) that it also reproduces the transient extensional response of a polymer melt.
