Abstract

AbstractOwing to its simplicity and general ability to correctly portray a number of important flow phenomena, the two‐parameter Maxwell model has been employed in a number of important engineering studies. The relation of this equation to linear viscoelasticity and to some molecular theories is considered. A new rule is developed which shows how the shear‐dependent relaxation time and viscosity of the Maxwell model can be determined from linear viscoelastic parameters. It is thus shown that the two‐parameter Maxwell model may be more general than earlier anticipated.
