Shear thickening and jamming in densely packed suspensions of different particle shapes
Eric Brown, Hanjun Zhang, Nicole A. Forman +4
We investigated the effects of particle shape on shear thickening in densely packed suspensions. Rods of different aspect ratios and non-convex hooked rods were fabricated. Viscosi…

Shear thickening in densely packed suspensions of spheres and rods confined to few layers
Eric Brown, Hanjun Zhang, Nicole A. Forman +4
We investigate confined shear thickening suspensions for which the sample thickness is comparable to the particle dimensions. Rheometry measurements are presented for densely packe…

Generality of shear thickening in suspensions
Eric Brown, Nicole A. Forman, Carlos S. Orellana +5
Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, i.e. they shear thin. Few are r…
