In the last section we solve the equation for stationary simple shear and calculate the nonlinear viscosity and the viscometric functions.
The observed yield stress in simple shear flows is another behavior which cannot be explained in terms of hydrodynamic stress contribution alone.
This labor of love therefore includes such topics as cross form deformation by simple shear, the double helix in global tectonics, the lineament-ore relation, mineral deposits related to Australian continental ring and rift structures with some terrestrial and planetary analogies, and the state of the art in research.
