A molecular dynamics investigation of the microscopic behavior of a liquid subjected to shearing is carried out. The dynamical response of a liquid system to various shear strain histories is outlined.
At low shear rates, the data agree with the predictions of linear response theory. At higher shear rates, nonlinear behavior is observed.
The shear rate dependence of the shear viscosity in the high shear regime seems to be best fitted by Ree-Eyring theory.
