Abstract
In electrorheological fluids (ER-fluids) fibers are formed upon applic ation of an electric field E. This renders the fluid transversely isot ropic. Studying transverse isotropy from a purely phenomenological poi nt of view in its simplest form reveals that yield stresses have to be reckoned with, be they shear stresses or normal stresses. For ER-flui ds yield shear stresses are well documented but yield normal stresses have thus far received no attention.
