Abstract

Measurements of the wave speed c in M1 imply at fast time λ = υ/ρc2 of relaxation. This and the delayed die-swell measurements suggest that M1 is not very elastic. Extensive and very reliable values of the climbing constants show that M1 has weak normal stresses at the level of STP. The climbing constants plus back-extrapolated values of N1/ γ .2 taken from measurements at two temperatures by Binding, and Walters and Prud'homme lead to values of the two coefficients in the second-order regime of slow flow of M1. This gives us all the constants in the Roscoe formula for the quadratic correction of Trouton's viscosity and also shows us to compute the normal stress ratio - N2/N1 = 0.11, independent of temperature.
