The complete set of Lyapunov exponents for a two-dimensional two-body shearing system is calculated using an extension of the method of Hoover and Posch. The Lyapunov dimension is found to be a decreasing function of the shear rate. This implies that the nonequilibrium distribution function is a fractal attractor whose dimension is less than that of the equilibrium phase space.
