Abstract
A theory of slow flow of rigid plastic viscoelastic fluids is developed, which expresses the stress tensor in terms of a von Mises yield surface plus an expansion of acceleration tensors. The purpose of this theory is to represent the flow of concentrated suspensions of small interacting particles in polymer fluids. The 0th-order fluid turns out to be von Mises theory for perfectly plastic solids. The first-order fluid is equivalent to Oldroyd's theory of Bingham plastics. A second-order fluid theory, which is rather complex in form, is also derived.
