Shear stress
Isaac Newton was the first to express the basic law of rheology describing the flow behavior of an ideal fluid:
where 
is shear stress in fluid, 
is apparent viscosity of fluid and 
is shear rate. Apparent viscosity coefficient needn’t be a constant as will be shown in this work.
For simple shear rate rules:
