Proceedings of the ASME International Mechanical EngineeringCongress and Exposition, November 5-10, 2000, Orlando, Florida. The20 full-length, peer-reviewed technical papers collected in thisvolume report on some of the latest results concerning issuesrelated to various aspects of the rheological and flow propertieson nonlinear materials, and in particular, advanced materials forthe 21st centrury. Transport processes of importance to variousareas of industry are included as well as constitutive theories onelectro-magneto- rheological fluids and various aspects of theirbehavior. Other issues of fundamental and industrial importanceranging from the thermodynamics of dissipative materials and themodeling of biofluids to the all important topic of lubricationwith vicoelastic fluids are also addressed. @By: Dennis A.
