Drop a heavy incompressible object into water and it would splash and then presumably reach a certain terminal velocity where acceleration is nill.
If you dropped a heavy incompressible object into a ...

Limitations of spring and dashpot models in terms of strain meaningfulness
It is common to explain viscoelastic materials with spring and dashpot 1D constructions, e.g:
which represents a Maxwell rheology, usually explained by saying that $ \sigma = \eta \dot{\epsilon}_1 = ...

Why are non-Newtonian fluids called non-Newtonian when they follow Newton’s third law?
To my understanding, Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefor if I punch the non-Newtonian fluid harder, there will be a harder reaction force ...
