Translational and rotational irreversibility in cyclically sheared colloidal suspensions
Austin H. Walker, Jeffrey S. Urbach, Daniel L. Blair
We investigate the translational and rotational dynamics of cyclically sheared suspensions over a broad range of particle concentrations. The transition to an irreversible state is…
Disentangling microstructural elements of shear thickening suspensions via computer simulations of a minimal model
William C. J. Buchholtz, Daniel L. Blair, Jeffrey S. Urbach +2
We use a minimal model for a dense suspension undergoing thickening and thinning to investigate microstructural changes in 2d simulations. Our simulations show that in steady flow…
Exploring the Nonlinear Rheology of Composite Hydrogels: A New Paradigm for LAOS Analysis
Wayan A. Fontaine-Seiler, Gavin J. Donley, Emanuela Del Gado +1
We investigate composite biopolymer networks composed of co-polymerized fibrin and gelatin networks and perform rheological measurements over a broad parameter space including stra…
Velocity correlations in dense granular gases
Daniel L. Blair, A. Kudrolli
We report the statistical properties of spherical steel particles rolling on an inclined surface being driven by an oscillating wall. Strong dissipation occurs due to collisions be…
High-Acceleration Patterns in Thin Vibrated Granular Layers
D. Blair, I. S. Aranson, G. W. Crabtree +3
Theoretical and experimental study of high-acceleration patterns in vibrated granular layers is presented. The order parameter model based on parametric Ginzburg-Landau equation is…
Controlled Dynamics of Interfaces in a Vibrated Granular Layer
I. Aranson, D. Blair, W. Kwok +5
We present experimental study of a topological excitation, {\it interface}, in a vertically vibrated layer of granular material. We show that these interfaces, separating regions o…
