Rheology of dense suspensions of granular spherocylinders by particle-based simulation
Alex Dixon, John Hone, Gavin Melaugh +1
Dense suspensions of rod-shaped granular particles are widespread in nature and manufacturing, where their fluid mechanical properties are often paramount. We have developed a part…
Synergistic approach to probing the dynamics and mechanics of patchy soft matter
Md Mozakker H. Shojib, Asier C. Monasterio, Emanuele Locatelli +3
Tailoring microscopic details to tune bulk rheology is a key paradigm in soft matter physics, yet the vast parameter space associated with constituent interactions precludes a full…
Cooking crystalline candies and the ductile to brittle transition in concentrated suspensions
Andreia F. Silva, James A. Richards, Fiona Jeffrey +4
The existence and origin of the ductile to brittle transition in non-Brownian suspensions and pastes is underexplored despite the ubiquity of such materials in practical applicatio…
Rheology of bidisperse suspensions at the colloidal-to-granular transition
Xuan Li, John R. Royer, Christopher Ness
We use particle-based simulation to study the rheology of dense suspensions comprising mixtures of small colloids and larger grains, which exhibit shear thinning at low shear rates…
