Bingham Medal
Encyclopedia
The Bingham Medal is an annual award for outstanding contributions to the field of rheology
. It was instituted in 1948 by the Society of Rheology, commemorating Eugene C. Bingham
(1878-1948).
Rheology
Rheology is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in the liquid state, but also as 'soft solids' or solids under conditions in which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force....
