Steady Simple Shear Flow and the Viscometric Functions

  • Chapter
Melt Rheology and Its Role in Plastics Processing

Abstract

Steady simple shear is of central importance in applied rheology for two reasons. First, it is the flow that is by far the easiest to generate in the laboratory. Therefore, the data most often reported are based on this flow. Secondly, a number of processes of industrial importance, particularly extrusion and flow in many types of die, approximate steady simple shear flow. For these reasons it seems appropriate to devote an entire chapter to this subject.
