   Abstract:
   A theory of viscoplasticity formulated by Prager and Hohenemser (1932) is developed for a two-dimensional membrane surface and applied to the analysis of the flow of `microtethers' pulled from red blood cells attached to glass substrates. The viscoplastic flow involves two intrinsic material constants: yield shear and surface viscosity
