Abstract

A recent analysis by Gupta (1967) suggests that a layer of elastico-viscous fluid at rest between parallel plane boundaries may be in unstable equilibrium. This surprising result is attributable to the inadequacy of the constitutive equation adopted by Gupta as the basis for his analysis. An alternative constitutive relation, which takes account of the entire strain-history of the motion, leads to the more reasonable result that the equilibrium is stable whenever the fluid has a ‘fading memory’.
