The Rheology of Saliva [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Dental Research, 1987
The rheology of saliva affects the coating and lubrication of oral surfaces and the consistency of ingested foods. Salivary gland dysfunction can cause tissue damage and dysphagia. Therefore, we have considered the problem of designing a synthetic saliva for medical management.

Processes controlling the downstream evolution of ice rheology in glacier shear margins: case study on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2018
Ice rheology governs how glaciers flow and respond to environmental change. The rheology of glacier ice evolves in response to a variety of mechanisms, including damage, heating, melting and the development of crystalline fabric.

Rheology of Leukocytesa

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1987
The rheological properties of human leukocytes (WBCs) have been studied by micropipette aspiration and filtration tests. A small aspiration pressure applied via a micropipette (diameter approximately equal to 3 micron) causes the WBC to undergo a rapid elastic deformation followed by a slow creep.

Rheology of the Upper Mantle and the Mantle Wedge: A View from the Experimentalists

, 2013
In this manuscript we review experimental constraints for the viscosity of the upper mantle. We first analyze experimental data to provide a critical review of flow law parameters for olivine aggregates and single crystals deformed in the diffusion creep

Rheology of blood

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1962
The non-Newtonian flow properties of resuspended red cells were determined in vitro by means of a capillary viscometer. In order to evaluate the rheological effect of the suspending medium, viscosity measurements were made over a wide range of shearing stresses using both plasma and an acid-citrate-dextrose solution as diluents.

Capillary breakup and extensional rheology response of food thickener cellulose gum (NaCMC) in salt-free and excess salt solutions

, 2020
Cellulose gum, also known as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), is a polysaccharide often used as a thickener or rheology modifier in many industrial complex fluids, including foods.

Introduction to Rheology [PDF]

open access: possible, 1990
It is anticipated that many readers will have little previous knowledge about rheology but will wish to find out how it can be useful to them in solving practical problems involving the flow of molten plastics. For this reason, it is our intention to supply sufficient basic information about rheology to enable the reader to understand and make use of ...

Rheology of the Upper Mantle: A Synthesis

Science, 1993
Rheological properties of the upper mantle of the Earth play an important role in the dynamics of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. However, such fundamental issues as the dominant mechanisms of flow have not been well resolved.

Rheology and Anesthesiology

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1978
We present a review of blood rheology with special emphasis on its application in anesthesiology. The rheological behavior of blood is determined by 2 variables, non-Newtonian viscosity and yield stress. The physical significance of these quantities is discussed.

Rheology and the Microcirculation

Gastroenterology, 1967
The term "rheology" was coined by E. C. Bingham in 1929 to describe the discipline dealing with the study of deformation and flow of solids and fluids. Rheologists have been particularly interested in complex systems in which an application of the mechanics of ideal fluids or of nondissipative elastic systems is inadequate to describe the relationships
