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 …

Shear thickening fluids (STFs) exhibit a unique potential for use in widespread range of
applications from mechanical platforms and smart structures to effective protective fabrics …

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 …

Single-phase shear thickening fluids (STFs) have been extensively investigated in body
protective applications. However, researchers do not have long-standing past experience of …

The performance of rock blasting is significantly influenced by the coupling medium between
the explosive and borehole wall. In this study, two shear-thickening fluids (corn starch …

This study presents some soft armour panel design strategies using shear thickening fluid
(STF) reinforced Kevlar® fabric. The effect of size of silica nano and sub-micron particles on …

In this paper, shear thickening fluids (STFs) and three different types of additive particles
such as silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and boron carbide are presented. STFs were …

The main focus of this review is on soft composites, relatively new to the literature. The
ballistic fabrics, mechanism of ballistic energy absorption and parameters affect the ballistic …

Sandwich composite panels (SCPs) with carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) facings are
usually vulnerable to low-velocity transverse impact loading. In this study, a method is …

Shear thickening fluid (STF) is a dense colloidal suspension of nanoparticles in a carrier
fluid in which the viscosity increases dramatically with a rise in shear rate. Due to the …
