Rheological behavior of living cells is timescale-dependent.
The dynamic mechanical behavior of living cells has been proposed to result from timescale-invariant processes governed by the soft glass rheology theory derived from soft matter physics. But this theory is based on experimental measurements over timescales that are shorter than those most relevant for cell growth and function. Here we report results measured over a wider range of timescales wh...
متن کاملMeasurement and Prediction of Time-independent and Time-dependent Rheological Behavior of Waxy Crude Oil
Wax deposition phenomenon changes the rheological behavior of waxy crude oil completely. In the current work, the rheological time-dependent and time-independent behaviors of waxy crude oil samples are studied and flow curve and compliance function are measured for the oil samples with various wax contents at different temperatures. A decrease in temperature and an increase in wax content lead ...
متن کاملAnomalous Size Dependent Rheological Behavior of Alumina Based Nanofluids
Rheological characteristics of alumina (Al2O3) nanofluids (NFs) were found to exhibit an unexpected behavior. Two base-fluids viz, water and ethylene glycols (EG) with particles of average diameter of 11, 45 and 150 nm were examined. An anomalous reduction in viscosity compared to that of the base fluid was seen for EG based NFs. However, viscosity reduction was absent in water based NFs. The i...
متن کاملRheological Properties of Living Materials. From Cells to Tissues
In this paper, we review the role of the rheological properties at the cellular and macroscopic scale. At the cellular scale, the different components of the cell are described, and comparisons with other similar systems are made in order to state what kind of rheological properties and what constitutive equations can be expected. This is based on expertise collected over many years, dealing wi...
متن کاملRheological behavior of microemulsions.
We study the stationary and transient behaviors of a microemulsion phase subjected to a shear flow. The system is described by a diffusion-convective equation that generalizes the usual Cahn-Hilliard equation. Nonlinear terms are treated in a self-consistent approximation. Shear, first and second normal stresses are calculated as momenta of the structure factor. Shear thinning is observed in st...
