Fluid-Solid Pattern Formation and Strain Localisation via Shear Banding Instability in Model Biological Tissues
Aidan J. Nicholas, Suzanne M. Fielding
The rheological properties of biological tissues are core to processes such as cancer metastasis, wound healing and embryo development. The emergence of tissue and organ structures…
Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
Correlation lengths in hydrodynamic models of active nematics
E. J. Hemingway, P. Mishra, M. C. Marchetti +1
We examine the scaling with activity of the emergent length scales that control the nonequilibrium dynamics of an active nematic liquid crystal, using two popular hydrodynamic mode…
Transient shear banding in entangled polymers: a study using the Rolie-Poly model
J. M. Adams, S. M. Fielding, P. D. Olmsted
Spatially inhomogeneous shear flow occurs in entangled polymer solutions, both as steady state shear banding and transiently after a large step strain or during start up to a stead…
The interplay between boundary conditions and flow geometries in shear banding: hysteresis, band configurations, and surface transitions
J. M. Adams, S. M. Fielding, P. D. Olmsted
We study shear banding flows in models of wormlike micelles or polymer solutions, and explore the effects of different boundary conditions for the viscoelastic stress. These are ne…
Spatio-temporal oscillations and rheochaos in a simple model of shear banding
Suzanne Fielding, Peter Olmsted
We study a simple model of shear banding in which the flow-induced phase is destabilised by coupling between flow and microstructure (wormlike micellar length). By varying the stre…
