The Society of Rheology is an American professional society formed in December, 1929 to represent scientists and technologists working in the field of rheology, the science of the deformation and flow of matter.[2]
Current membership is of the order of 1700 and meetings are held at least annually to discuss topics of common interest. The Society publishes scientific and technical papers in the field of rheology in its own Journal of Rheology and presents a number of annual awards to acknowledge and encourage successful research.
The society was one of the founding members of the American Institute of Physics and is also a member of the International Committee on Rheology, which organizes an international congress on the subject every four years.
