Fig. 1. Rheological curves of ideal materials: (a) Stress–strain relations of ideal Hookean solid and flow curve of ideal plastic material with distinct yield stress (_y). Spring and slider are mechanical analogs of ideal elastic and plastic solids, respectively. (b) Flow curves of ideal Newtonian fluid and Bingham viscoplastic body, and their respective mechanical analogs, dashpot and dashpot-slider
