Abstract
In the limit of infinite yield time for stresses, the hydrodynamic equation s for viscoelaslic, non-Newtonian liquids such as polymer melts must reduce to that for solids. This piece of information suffices to uniquely determi ne the nonlinear convective derivative, an ongoing point of contention in t he rheology literature.
