investigations of microstructure and total stress.“Dense” or “highly concentrated” …

Shear‐thickening (“Dilatancy”) in suspensions of nonaggregating solid particles dispersed in Newtonian liquids

HA Barnes - Journal of Rheology, 1989 - pubs.aip.org
The literature on this subject stands currently at over 100 articles; this review seeks to
present an overall picture of the subject, using the results of these articles. Concentrated …

Shear thickening (dilatancy) in concentrated dispersions

WH Boersma, J Laven, HN Stein - AIChE journal, 1990 - Wiley Online Library
A new criterion is introduced for the onset of shear thickening in a concentrated dispersion.
The criterion follows from the assumption that shear thickening occurs when the shear forces …

Simulating the rheology of dense colloidal suspensions using dissipative particle dynamics

ES Boek, PV Coveney, HNW Lekkerkerker… - Physical Review E, 1997 - APS
The rheological properties of colloidal suspensions of spheres, rods, and disks have been
studied using a mesoscopic simulation technique, known as dissipative particle dynamics …

Rheophysical classification of concentrated suspensions and granular pastes

P Coussot, C Ancey - Physical Review E, 1999 - APS
On the basis of existing data along with rational arguments we propose an overview, in a
conceptual diagram (solid fraction vs shear rate), of the dominant interaction type (Brownian …

Particle dynamics modeling methods for colloid suspensions

DS Bolintineanu, GS Grest, JB Lechman… - Computational Particle …, 2014 - Springer
We present a review and critique of several methods for the simulation of the dynamics of
colloidal suspensions at the mesoscale. We focus particularly on simulation techniques for …

Effect of particle size distributions on the rheology of concentrated bimodal suspensions

C Chang, RL Powell - Journal of rheology, 1994 - pubs.aip.org
The dependence of the viscosities of highly concentrated bimodal suspensions on the
particle size distribution and the relative fractions of the two particle populations is …

Continuous shear thickening transitions in model concentrated colloids—The role of interparticle forces

JR Melrose, RC Ball - Journal of Rheology, 2004 - pubs.aip.org
The role of interactions between close particles in the shear thickening of concentrated
colloids is examined by using a Stokesian dynamics simulation of model systems. The …

Mechanism of mechanical reinforcement for weakly attractive nanocomposites in glassy and rubbery states

W Cui, W You, W Yu - Macromolecules, 2021 - ACS Publications
Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) have been widely investigated due to their significant
performance in mechanical reinforcement, but the mechanism of mechanical reinforcement …
