When subject to moderate shear rates in a cone‐plate and parallel plate rheometer, viscoelastic samples tend to fracture at the edge of the sample thus preventing the measurement of viscosity and normal stresses at high shear rates. An explanation of this behavior has been given in terms of a critical elastic strain energy by Hutton and we offer an alternative explanation based on fracture mechanics. It is shown here that fracture occurs if |N2|>2Γ/3a, where N2 is the second normal stress difference, Γ is the surface tension coefficient, and a is the size of the fracture. The experimental data presented here show that this equation correctly predicts the occurrence of shear fracture and also the shear rate at which it occurs. At high shear rates, Newtonian liquids and some viscoelastic liquids are ejected from the cone‐plate and parallel plate rheometer due to the effect of centrifugal forces. For a Newtonian liquid a simple consideration of the centrifugal and surface tension forces at the sample edge pr...
