Shear thickening fluids and their applications
Materials & Design, 2022 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 action of a low shear rate.

Shear-thickening fluids in biologically relevant agents. [PDF]
Biorheology, 2019 BACKGROUND: The rheology of shear thickening fluids is well characterized for many physical applications, however the literature surrounding biologically or cryobiologically compatible shear thickening fluids is less well understood. OBJECTIVE: This study examined fluids consisting of corn-derived hydroxyethyl starch with a variety of sugars and ...

Shear thickening fluids in protective applications: A review
Progress in Polymer Science, 2017 Abstract 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 affecting shear thickening behavior and the use of STFs in protective systems is reviewed.

A minimal model for chaotic shear banding in shear-thickening fluids [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2006 We present a minimal model for spatiotemporal oscillation and rheochaos in shear-thickening complex fluids at zero Reynolds number. In the model, a tendency towards inhomogeneous flows in the form of shear bands combines with a slow structural dynamics ...

DOE analysis of the rheological data of shear-thickening fluids for puncture-resistant composite shells [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2018 The dilatancy (Shear-thickening) is a time-independent rheological behaviour exhibited by some non-Newtonian fluids. These fluids manifest a surge in the apparent viscosity with an increase in the shear rate. If these fluids are encapsulated, they can be

Viscoelastic properties of MR shear thickening fluids
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2014 Magento-rheological Fluid (MRF) and Shear Thickening Fluid (STF) have separately attracted considerable interest due to their fast and reversible response to an external magnetic field or an abrupt shearing loading. In this paper we fabricated a combined

Fluid lubricated polishing based on shear thickening
Optics Express, 2022 With the development of short wavelength optics, high requirements are put forward for the full frequency errors of optical elements, while the processing efficiency and surface quality of traditional polishing methods are difficult to meet their requirements.

Flow of a Self-Similar Non-Newtonian Fluid Using Fractal Dimensions
Fractal and Fractional, 2022 In this paper, the study of the fully developed flow of a self-similar (fractal) power-law fluid is presented. The rheological way of behaving of the fluid is modeled utilizing the Ostwald–de Waele relationship (covering shear-thinning, Newtonian and ...

Sheared active fluids: Thickening, thinning, and vanishing viscosity [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2010 We analyze the behavior of a suspension of active polar particles under shear. In the absence of external forces, orientationally ordered active particles are known to exhibit a transition to a state of non-uniform polarization and spontaneous flow. Such a transition results from the interplay between elastic stresses, due to the liquid crystallinity ...
