Rheology and Fluid Mechanics of Nonlinear Materials 1997: The 1997 Asme International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition November 16-21, 1997 Dallas Texas (Fed - MD Series Vols. 243 & 78)

Describes methods of characterizing the very un-Newtonian and non- linear behaviour of most new materials used in manufacturing materials, and uses the results to describe their flow behaviour under applied stress. Addresses such fundamental issues as flow instabilities; and more.
