Statement 1: Blood is a _____ Statement 2: Thixotropic fluids are fluids whose viscosity decreases when subjected to shear stress initially but eventually with time, the viscosity increases. Correct Answer Casson plastic, True

Blood is a Casson plastic. At low shears, they’ve infinite viscosity. At high shears, its viscosity decreases with increase in shear. Statement 2 is true.

Tresca or maximum-shear stress criteria assumes that yielding occurs when the maximum shear stress reaches a value of the shear stress in the uniaxial tension test. Assume the principal stress being σ1, σ2, σ3 where σ1 is largest, and σ3 is the smallest principal stresses. Find the value of minimum shear stress to cause yielding, given that yield stress in tension is equal to σo?
