Abstract: | A class of elastico-viscous liquids is considered. On the basis of an analysis of the experimental data of a considerable number of authors it is shown that the Weissenberg relation between the shear stresses and the first difference of the normal stresses is limited and a more general expression of the exponential type is proposed.Institute of Thermophysics, Siberian Division, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Novosibirsk.
