The nonlinear rheology of a soft glassy material is captured by its constitutive relation, shear stress vs shear rate, which is most generally obtained by sweeping up or down the shear rate over a finite temporal window. For a huge amount…
The purpose of this paper is to extend the non-invasive global/local iterative coupling technique [15] to the case of large structures undergoing nonlinear time-dependent evolutions at all scales. It appears that, due to the use of legacy…

We show that the slow viscoelastic response of a foam is that of a power-law fluid with a terminal relaxation. Investigations of the foam mechanics in creep and recovery tests reveal that the power-law contribution is fully reversible,…
