Abstract

Recently, a self-consistent dynamic free volume model was proposed to analyze the Newtonian and non-Newtonian uniform steady-state flow data for bulk glass forming liquids such as those of the Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be Vitreloy family. The model is based on the traditional free volume model of the glass transition, the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) equation, and a simple treatment of free volume production and annihilation during flow. It was shown that the model results in a simple one-parameter fit to extend the VFT equation for Newtonian flow to non-Newtonian uniform steady-state flow. We further extend the model to include transient uniform flow, by considering the evolution of free volume with time.
