In this work the authors consider laminar flows of generalized second grade fluids in rectilinear channels. These fluids do exhibit both viscoplastic and viscoelastic behaviour. In the model of fluid under analysis the viscoplastic behaviour is described by Shulman equation, and the viscoelastic behaviour by Rivlin-Ericksen equation for a second grade fluid. A connection between the above mentioned behaviours is modelled in the following way: the constant coefficent of shear viscosity of a fluid of second grade fluid is replaced by a shear viscosity taken from a viscoplastic fluid modelled by Shulman equation. If the normal stress coefficients are set equal to zero, this model reduces to the standard viscoplastic Shulman model. The solutions are obtained for Poiseuille and Couette flows in the case of constant values of material coefficients.
