, a material is said to be "Newtonian" if it exhibits a
linear
In mathematics, the term ''linear'' is used in two distinct senses for two different properties:
* linearity of a '' function'' (or '' mapping'');
* linearity of a '' polynomial''.
An example of a linear function is the function defined by f(x) ...
relationship between
stress and
strain rate
In mechanics and materials science, strain rate is the time derivative of strain of a material. Strain rate has dimension of inverse time and SI units of inverse second, s−1 (or its multiples).
The strain rate at some point within the mat ...
