Loss of solutions in shear banding fluids in shear banding fluids driven by second normal stress differences
Stanislav Skorski, Peter D. Olmsted
Edge fracture occurs frequently in non-Newtonian fluids. A similar instability has often been reported at the free surface of fluids undergoing shear banding, and leads to expulsio…
Transient shear banding in entangled polymers: a study using the Rolie-Poly model
J. M. Adams, S. M. Fielding, P. D. Olmsted
Spatially inhomogeneous shear flow occurs in entangled polymer solutions, both as steady state shear banding and transiently after a large step strain or during start up to a stead…
Nano-scale mechanical probing of supported lipid bilayers with atomic force microscopy
Chinmay Das, Khizar H. Sheik, Peter D. Olmsted +1
We present theory and experiments for the force-distance curve of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip (radius ) indenting a supported fluid bilayer (thickness ). F…
Undulation instability in a bilayer lipid membrane due to electric field interaction with lipid dipoles
Richard J. Bingham, Peter D. Olmsted, Stephen W. Smye
Bilayer lipid membranes [BLMs] are an essential component of all biological systems, forming a functional barrier for cells and organelles from the surrounding environment. The lip…
