Discontinuous shear thickening without inertia in dense non-Brownian suspensions
Matthieu Wyart, Mike Cates
A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication lay…
Modeling the Relaxation of Polymer Glasses under Shear and Elongational Loads
S. M. Fielding, R. L. Moorcroft, R. G. Larson +1
Glassy polymers show strain hardening: at constant extensional load, their flow first accelerates, then arrests. Recent experiments under such loading have found this to be accompa…
Schematic Mode Coupling Theory of Glass Rheology: Single and Double Step Strains
Th. Voigtmann, J. M. Brader, M. Fuchs +1
Mode coupling theory (MCT) has had notable successes in addressing the rheology of hard-sphere colloidal glasses, and also soft colloidal glasses such as star-polymers. Here, we ex…
Dilatancy in the flow and fracture of stretched colloidal suspensions
M. I. Smith, R. Besseling, M. E. Cates +1
Concentrated particulate suspensions, commonplace in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries, display intriguing rheology. In particular, the dramatic increase in viscosit…
Shear banding and flow-concentration coupling in colloidal glasses
R. Besseling, L. Isa, P. Ballesta +3
We report experiments on hard sphere colloidal glasses that reveal a type of shear banding hitherto unobserved in soft glasses. We present a scenario that relates this to an instab…
Arrested phase separation in reproducing bacteria: a generic route to pattern formation?
M. E. Cates, D. Marenduzzo, I. Pagonabarraga +1
We present a generic mechanism by which reproducing microorganisms, with a diffusivity that depends on the local population density, can form stable patterns. It is known that a de…
