Particle dynamics simulations are used to study the startup flow of jammed soft particle
suspensions in shear flow from a thermodynamic perspective. This thermodynamic …

Dense granular suspensions, which consist of concentrated mixtures of non-Brownian
particles suspended in a liquid, are ubiquitous in many natural phenomena (eg, landslides …

Particle dynamics simulations are used to determine the shear-induced microstructure and
rheology of jammed suspensions of soft particles. These suspensions, known as soft particle …

We explore the rheology during a startup flow of well-characterized polyelectrolyte microgel
suspensions, which form soft glasses above the jamming concentration. We present and …

As an intelligent material, magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is used in various applications,
such as vibration dampers and automotive engine mounts. In order to study the influence of …

The rheology and microstructure of soft particle glasses during startup flow are studied using
three-dimensional particle dynamics simulations at different particle volume fractions and …

The following set of discussions is a complement to the recent special issue of the Journal of
Rheology on the Physics of Dense Suspensions edited by two of us [1]. The discussions …

Suspensions of soft particles transition from a viscous fluid to a soft material upon increases
in phase volume. The criteria defining the transition to this jammed state are difficult to define …

Microscopic dynamics reveal the origin of the bulk rheological response in complex fluids. In
model systems particle motion can be tracked, but for industrially relevant samples this is …

The transport properties of soft particle glasses, such as dynamic viscosity, normal stress
coefficients, and shear-induced diffusivity of its particles, are determined by the …
