Upper Convected Maxwell Model
The upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) model is a generalisation of the Maxwell material for the case of large deformations using the upper-convected time derivative. The model was proposed by James G. Oldroyd. The concept is named after James Clerk Maxwell.
The model can be written as:
where:
- is the stress tensor;
- is the relaxation time;
- is the upper-convected time derivative of stress tensor:
- is the fluid velocity
- is material viscosity at steady simple shear;
- is the tensor of the deformation rate.

“You doubt we read the stars on high,
Nathless we read your fortunes true;
The stars may hide in the upper sky,
But without glass we fathom you.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aw, it’s just like a woman. When the shootin’s all over and everything’s safe, they pass out.”
—Griffin Jay, and Maxwell Shane (1905–1983)
“... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
