The examination of the mechanics of dumbbell suspensions is extended to include the increase of the friction coefficient with molecular extension, both in weak flows and in strong flows. The most interesting result occurs in steady elongational flows where a “hysteresis” loop is found, so that in a certain range of elongation rates two elongational viscosities are possible, the one occurring depending on the previous history of the elongation rate. This result is of interest because it increases the plausibility of those explanations of turbulent drag reduction which depend on maintaining the molecules in an extended, highly dissipative configuration. The hysteresis loop is also of interest in that it represents an effectively infinite memory of a selective type which is not compatible with the usual hypotheses about fading memory usually associated with the simple fluid concepts of continuum mechanics, although our dilute solution model is clearly a simple fluid. No hysteresis loop was found in steady sh...
