The increase use of crumb rubber in flexible pavements requires the better understanding of its effect on physical and rheological properties of rubberised bitumen binders. The performance properties of rubberised bitumen binder are influenced by the blending conditions and crumb rubber content. The main objective of this research is to investigate the effect of various crumb rubber content on ...

conclusions in conclusion, the suspension containing veegum 1%, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose 1%, glycerine 0.2%, sodium citrate 0.3% and sorbitol 20 % was chosen as the most physically stable formulation. results according to the results, glycerin (0.2%) and sodium citrate (0.3%) had the best effect on the suspension stability as wetting and flocculating agents, respectively. rheological pro...

Rheological object, such as various food products and biological tissues, has both elastic and plastic properties. Modeling of rheological object has not been studied frequently comparing with the modeling of elastic one. Our previously developed FE models of rheological objects were based on triangular or tetrahedra finite elements. In this paper, the FE model of rheological object formulated ...

Background & Aim:  Psyllium (Plantago psyllium L.) is a native plant that grows widely in India and Iran. Different cases of using psyllium gum for its suitable rheological properties in a wide range of food products exist in nature. Experimental: In this study, different fractions of psyllium gum were extracted by water and alkali treatments. Rheological properties of these fractions...

   Drilling fluids are an essential component of the rotary drilling process used to drill for oil and gas on land and offshore environments. The injection of this nano particle into drilling fluid increases the viscosity levels fluids. In these experiments, the rheological properties of the fluid including apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity (PV), yielding point (YP), mud c...

Polysaccharide from the seeds of Plantago asiatica L. has many bioactivities, but few papers report on the structural and rheological characteristics of the alkaline extract. The alkaline extracted polysaccharide was prepared from seeds of P. asiatica L. and named herein as alkaline extracted polysaccharide from seeds of P. asiatica L. (PLAP). Its structural and rheological properties were char...

We propose that the rheological properties of background fluid play an important role in the interaction of microorganisms with the flow field. The viscoelastic-induced migration of microorganisms in a vortical flow leads to the emergence of a limit cycle. The shape and formation rate of patterns depend on motility, vorticity strength, and rheological properties of the background fluid. Given t...

Magnetorheological fluids have received widespread attention as smart materials due to their tunable properties. MRF consists of three key components including, soft magnetic particles, carrier liquids, and additives. This review details the characteristics, composition, and rheological principle of MRF, working principle of MRF devices, and their applications in other engineering arenas. The a...
