Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

Concrete is flying off, but it is simultaneously facing tremendous challenges in terms of
environmental impact, financial needs, societal acceptance and image. Based on an …

A thorough and critical review on Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) is presented based on a
literature survey. The rheological properties of STFs are discussed considering many factors …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Discrete particle simulations are used to study the shear rheology of dense, stabilized,
frictional particulate suspensions in a viscous liquid, toward development of a constitutive …

Particle-based simulations of discontinuous shear thickening (DST) and shear jamming (SJ)
suspensions are used to study the role of stress-activated constraints, with an emphasis on …

Shear thickening fluid (STF) treated high performance fabrics have attracted much attention
in the applications of body protection. In order to improve the contribution of STF treatments …

This study presents the response of fiber reinforced composite material composed of woven
Kevlar fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (STF) under high velocity …

The process by which sheared suspensions go through a dramatic change in viscosity is
known as discontinuous shear thickening. Although well-characterized on the macroscale …
