An Enhanced Viscoplastic Constitutive Model for Semi-Solid Materials to Analyze Shear Localization

Semi-solid materials undergo strain localization and shear band formation as a result of granular nature of semi-solid deformation. In the present study, to analyze the shear localization, a unified viscoplastic constitutive model was developed for the homogeneous flow. Then, a linearized analysis of the stability performed by examining the necessary condition for the perturbation growth. For t...

Shear - induced aggregation and break up of fibril clusters close to the percolation concentration

Structural changes of complex fluids under steady shear flow were investigated for different type of materials, such as suspensions, associating polymers and polymer solutions [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Under specific conditions, depending on the material, a shear-thickening regime is observed followed by shear-thinning behaviour [3, 4, 6]. Shear-thickening is often the result of shear-induced formati...

Phase Studies of Model Biomembranes: Macroscopic Coexistence of Lα+Lβ, with Light-Induced Coexistence of Lα+Lo Phases

Shear flow of non-Brownian suspensions close to jamming.

The dynamical mechanisms controlling the rheology of dense suspensions close to jamming are investigated numerically, using simplified models for the relevant dissipative forces. We show that the velocity fluctuations control the dissipation rate and therefore the effective viscosity of the suspension. These fluctuations are similar in quasi-static simulations and for finite strain rate calcula...
