The role of friction in the yielding of adhesive non-Brownian suspensions
J. A. Richards, B. M. Guy, E. Blanco +3
Yielding behavior is well known in attractive colloidal suspensions. Adhesive non-Brownian suspensions, in which the interparticle bonds are due to finite-size contacts, also show…

Conching chocolate: A prototypical transition from frictionally jammed solid to flowable suspension with maximal solid content
Elena Blanco, Daniel J. M. Hodgson, Michiel Hermes +6
The mixing of a powder of 10-50μm primary particles into a liquid to form a dispersion with the highest possible solid content is a common industrial operation. Building on recent…

A constraint-based approach to granular dispersion rheology
B. M. Guy, J. A. Richards, D. J. M. Hodgson +2
We present a phenomenological model for granular suspension rheology in which particle interactions enter as constraints to relative particle motion. By considering constraints tha…
