Investigating the Nature of Discontinuous Shear Thickening: Beyond a Mean-Field Description

Jetin E. Thomas, Abhay Goyal, Deshpreet Singh Bedi +3

Dense suspensions can undergo a dramatic increase in viscosity at a critical value of the shear stress. This phenomenon, termed discontinuous shear thickening (DST), has been attri…

Pinch-point Singularities in Stress-Stress Correlations Reveal Rigidity in Colloidal Gels

Albert Countryman, H. A. Vinutha, Fabiola Diaz Ruiz +3

We demonstrate that the spatial correlations of microscopic stresses in 2D model colloidal gels obtained in computer simulations can be quantitatively described by the predictions…

Inter-Species Interactions in Dual, Fibrous Gel Enable Control of Gel Structure and Rheology

Mauro L Mugnai, Rose Tchuenkam Batoum, Emanuela Del Gado

Natural and synthetic multi-component gels display emergent properties, which implies that they are more than just the sum of their components. This warrants the investigation of t…

Topological Data Analysis for Particulate Gels

Alexander Smith, Gavin J. Donley, Emanuela Del Gado +1

Soft gels, formed via the self-assembly of particulate organic materials, exhibit intricate multi-scale structures that provides them with flexibility and resilience when subjected…

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…

Memory of shear flow in soft jammed materials

H. A. Vinutha, Manon Marchand, Marco Caggioni +3

Cessation of flow in simple yield stress fluids results in a complex stress relaxation process that depends on the preceding flow conditions and leads to finite residual stresses.…
