Engineering Rheology

After an introductory survey of the field and a review of basic continuum mechanics, the difference between elongational and shear behavior are discussed. Two chapters, one based on a continuum approach and the other using microstructural approaches, lead to mathematical descriptions of materials for engineering applications. Lubrication and related shearing flows are discussed, as are fiber-spinning and film-blowing, as examples of nearly viscometric and nearly elongational flows. Other chapters deal with computational rheology, stability and turbulence, and temperature effects in flow. The second editions contains new material on wall slip, suspension rheology, and computational rheology, and new results in stability theory. -- Mechanical Engineering, Oct 2000 After an introductory survey of the field and a review of basic continuum mechanics, the difference between elongational and shear behavior are discussed.
