Shear banding in time-dependent flows of polymers and wormlike micelles
Robyn L. Moorcroft, Suzanne M. Fielding
We study theoretically the formation of shear bands in time-dependent flows of polymeric and wormlike micellar surfactant fluids, focussing on the protocols of step shear stress, s…
Modeling the Relaxation of Polymer Glasses under Shear and Elongational Loads
S. M. Fielding, R. L. Moorcroft, R. G. Larson +1
Glassy polymers show strain hardening: at constant extensional load, their flow first accelerates, then arrests. Recent experiments under such loading have found this to be accompa…
Criteria for shear banding in time-dependent flows of complex fluids
Robyn L. Moorcroft, Suzanne M. Fielding
Within a highly generalised theoretical framework for the flow properties of complex fluids, we study the onset of shear banding in the three most common time-dependent experimenta…
Age-dependent transient shear banding in soft glasses
Robyn L. Moorcroft, Michael E. Cates, Suzanne M. Fielding
We study numerically the formation of long-lived transient shear bands during shear startup within two models of soft glasses (a simple fluidity model and an adapted `soft glassy r…
