Shear thickening is a type of non-Newtonian behavior in which the stress required to shear a fluid increases faster than linearly with shear rate. Many concentrated suspensions of particles exhibit an especially dramatic version, known as…
We develop an elasto-plastic description for the transient dynamics prior to steady flow of athermally yielding materials. Our mean-field model not only reproduces the experimentally observed non-linear time dependence of the shear-rate…
