Resistance to flow in excess of the yield value in a plastic material. Plastic viscosity (U) is proportional to the (shearing stress-yield value) rate of shear. The coefficient of plastic viscosity is the force in excess of the yield value, tangentially applied, that will induce a unit velocity gradient.

Plastic viscosity is used to measure fluid to flow resistance. This can be used in several different fields, but is pertinent to the drilling industry. If there is more solid material than fluid material the plastic viscosity is higher, the opposite would cause it to be lower.

WHAT IS PSEUDO PLASTIC?

Pseudo plasticity discusses to the decrease of viscosity when shear forces are applied. The tougher the shear stress the pseudo plastic material is subjected to, the tougher the shear thinning effect and the tougher the reduction in viscosity.

What is meant by an ideal plastic fluid how it is diff from plastic fluid?

there are newtonian fluids and non newtonian fluids both of these belongs to real fluid which posses viscosity .newtonian fluids r those fluids which obey the newtons law of viscosity while the later doesnt.there r various types of non newtonian fluids like simple non newtonian fluid ,real plastic fluid and ideal plastic fluid an ideal plastic fluid has shear stress which is more than the yield value but after that it obeys the newtonian law of viscosity.
