| Bingham flow | The flow characteristics exhibited by a Bingham plastic. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Bingham model | A model representing the flow behaviour of a Bingham plastic, in the idealised case. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bingham plastic | A material that, in the idealised case, does not flow until a critical stress (yield stress) is exceeded, and then flows at a rate proportional to the excess of stress over the yield stress; real materials probably only approach this ideal model. (05 Mar 2000) |
