Fluidity and Plasticty

<p><i>Fluidity and Plasticity</i> by Eugene C. Bingham presents a comprehensive exploration of the emerging field of rheology in the early 20th century. Bingham a pioneering chemist delves into the fundamental properties of matter distinguishing between true fluids and plastic solids and introducing the concept of fluidity as the reciprocal of viscosity.</p> <p>This seminal work examines the behavior of various substances under stress providing detailed analyses and experimental data. Bingham's meticulous approach and insightful observations laid the groundwork for modern understanding of non-Newtonian fluids and the broader study of deformation and flow. Fluidity and Plasticity remains a valuable resource for scientists engineers and historians of science interested in the development of rheology and its applications.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
