Recent flow cessation experiments on soft materials have shown a counter-intuitive non-monotonic relaxation of the shear stress: following the switch-off of a steady imposed shear flow, the stress initially decays before later increasing again. By si... Read More about Shear banding as a cause of nonmonotonic stress relaxation after flow cessation.
