Abstract
WHEN materials of different kinds are subjected to mechanical actions we may observe a great variety of rheological phenomena, and we shall confine our attention here to a certain group of them which allows a theoretical and experimental investigation on a macroscopic scale. Here then, as in the classical theories of elasticity and hydrodynamics, we can treat the materials as continuous media, and the forces and displacements as vectors which vary continuously in space and time.
