Kinematic and rheological equivalence of steady shearing and planar extensional flows
Nicholas King, Gareth H. McKinley
Steady shearing and planar extension are commonly viewed as two distinct types of flow field, especially in the context of probing the rheology of complex fluids. By leveraging the…

Self-Consistent Fourier-Tschebyshev Representations of the First Normal Stress Difference in Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear
Nicholas King, Eugene Pashkovski, Reid Patterson +2
Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS) is a key technique for characterizing nonlinear viscoelasticity in a wide range of materials. Most research to date has focused on the shea…

Shear Stress Build-up Under Constant Strain Conditions in Soft Glassy Materials
Vivek Kumar, Gareth H McKinley, Yogesh M Joshi
In this work, we investigate the transient rheological behavior of two soft glassy materials: a clay dispersion and a silica gel, emphasizing their unconventional shear stress buil…
