A novel approach for modeling the mechanical behavior of thixotropic viscoplastic fluids is presented. Non-monotonic flow curves, stress overshoot during microstructure breakdown flows at constant shear rate, and viscosity bifurcation are some of the common aspects of structured fluids that are pred
