Nonlinear viscoelasticity of metastable complex fluids
– Many metastable complex fluids such as colloidal glasses and gels show distinct nonlinear viscoelasticity with increasing oscillatory-strain amplitude; the storage modulus decreases monotonically as the strain amplitude increases whereas the loss modulus has a distinct peak before it decreases at larger strains. We present a qualitative argument to explain this ubiquitous behavior and use mod...
متن کاملDiffusing-wave-spectroscopy measurements of viscoelasticity of complex fluids
We present a new use of dynamic light scattering that permits the determination of the viscoelastic behavior of a complex fluid. By describing the motion of a scattering particle in a viscoelastic medium in terms of a generalized Langevin equation with a memory function, we relate the time evolution of its mean-square displacement to the frequency-dependent storage and loss moduli of the medium...
متن کاملLocal linear viscoelasticity of confined fluids.
In this paper the authors propose a novel method to study the local linear viscoelasticity of fluids confined between two walls. The method is based on the linear constitutive equation and provides details about the real and imaginary parts of the local complex viscosity. They apply the method to a simple atomic fluid undergoing zero mean oscillatory flow using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics...
متن کاملDynamical signatures of freezing: stable fluids, metastable fluids, and crystals.
Mean squared displacements and velocity auto correlation functions are calculated using molecular dynamics for hard spheres under a range of conditions (i) for the equilibrium fluid below freezing; (ii) for the metastable fluid above freezing; and (iii) for the hard sphere crystal, both in the metastable region between freezing and melting, and in the stable region above melting. In addition, s...
متن کاملOn-chip characterization of the viscoelasticity of complex fluids using microcantilevers
Due to the need for a microrheometer monitoring the high‐frequency viscoelasticity of soft matter in situ, we describe a cantilever‐based microrheometer to achieve this purpose. The elastic and viscous moduli of complex fluids can be measured with an acceptable accuracy over a high frequency bandwidth of 1‐100 kHz. Some preliminary data on small samples (~10‐100 μL) of simple Newtonian and visc...
