The vertical distance between the two plates is represented by h A constant force F is applied to the moveable plate B causing it to move along at a constant velocity VB with respect to the fixed plate If we replace the fluid between the two plates with a solid, the behavior of the plates would be different The applied force F would create a displacement d, a shear stress t in the material, and a shear... faculty in the Applied Biology and Biomedical Engineering Department at Rose-Hulman for their counsel and for putting up with a department head who wrote a book instead of giving full concentration to departmental issues In writing this book I have been keenly aware of the debt I owe to Don Young, my dissertation advisor at Iowa State, who taught me much of what I know about biomedical fluid mechanics Most...
