Power Law Model: A useful rheological model that describes the relationship between viscosity or shear stress and shear rate over the range of shear rates where shear thinning occurs in a Non-Newtonian fluid.

There are many in the world investigating the use of Robotics for construction and mixes that are as plastic as a result of the addition of reactive magnesia are very suitable for this purpose as they exhibit what is probably best described as a non Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid properties with viscosity decreasing as shear rate increases in accordance with a power law or similar model. 4, record 1, English, - power%20law

Any fluid that does not obey the Newtonian relationship between the shear stress and shear rate is called non-Newtonian. ... When the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, we call the fluid shear-thinning. In the opposite case where the viscosity increases as the fluid is subjected to a higher shear rate, the fluid is called shear-thickening. Shear-thinning behavior is more common than shear-thickening. Shear-thinning fluids also are called pseudoplastic fluids. 2, record 4, English, - pseudoplastic%20fluid
