This document discusses different types of fluids and their behavior under shear stress. Newtonian fluids have a viscosity that remains constant regardless of the applied shear stress or strain rate. Bingham plastics require a yield stress to begin flowing but maintain a constant viscosity. Shear thinning and thickening fluids have viscosities that decrease or increase respectively with higher shear rates.
