Engineering Rheology

by Roger I. Tanner

Book Overview

A practical, illustrated guide for advanced students and engineers, this volume centers on the interplay between microscopic variables relevant to a non-Newtonian fluid and the stresses developed in large-scale kinematic fields. The book starts with surveys of classical continuum mechanics and typical non-Newtonian behavior, and then describes the two main kinematic fields, shearing and extensional flows. The author outlines continuum and molecular-based...
