Tuning shear thickening behavior is a longstanding problem in the field of dense suspensions. Acoustic perturbations offer a convenient way to control shear thickening in real time, opening the door to a new class of smart materials.…
Nearly all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their flow behaviour when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant interactions between the suspended particles shift from…
Shear thickening, an increase of viscosity with shear rate, is a ubiquitous phenomena in suspended materials that has implications for broad technological applications. Controlling this thickening behavior remains a major challenge and has…
Increase in viscosity under increasing shear stress, known as shear thickening (ST), is one of the most striking properties of dense particulate suspensions. Under appropriate conditions, they exhibit discontinuous shear thickening (DST),…
Oscillatory shear has been widely used to study the rheological properties of suspensions under unsteady shear. Furthermore, recent works have shown that oscillatory flows can improve the flowability of dense suspensions. While most studies…
We introduce a novel approach to reveal ordering fluctuations in sheared dense suspensions, using line scanning in a combined rheometer and laser scanning confocal microscope. We validate the technique with a moderately dense suspension,…
Recent studies have highlighted that oscillatory and time-dependent shear flows might help increase flowability of dense suspensions. While most focus has been on cross-flows we here study a simple two-dimensional suspensions where we apply…
Colloidal suspensions in industrial processes often exhibit shear thickening that is difficult to control actively. Here, we use piezoelectric transducers to apply acoustic perturbations to dynamically tune the suspension viscosity in the…
In this letter, following an extensive experimental validation, we perform constant-volume shearing simulations of non-Brownian granular suspensions using the discrete element method coupled with the lattice Boltzmann method. We choose a…
Shear thickening of particle suspensions is characterized by a transition between lubricated and frictional contacts between the particles. Using 3D numerical simulations, we study how the inter-particle friction coefficient influences the…
Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, i.e. they shear thin. Few are reported to do the opposite, i.e. shear thicken, despite the…
We propose a unifying rheological framework for dense suspensions of non-Brownian spheres, predicting the onsets of particle friction and particle inertia as distinct shear thickening mechanisms, while capturing quasistatic and soft…
We investigate confined shear thickening suspensions for which the sample thickness is comparable to the particle dimensions. Rheometry measurements are presented for densely packed suspensions of spheres and rods with aspect ratios 6 and…
Strong shear thickening and jamming in dense suspensions are driven by friction as particles are sheared into contact. Control over these frictional interactions can be achieved via particle shape and roughness, and also via the particles'…
We recently developed a tensorial constitutive model for dense, shear-thickening particle suspensions that combines rate-independent microstructural evolution with a stress-dependent jamming threshold. This gives a good qualitative account…
Systems driven far from equilibrium often retain structural memories of their processing history. This memory has, in some cases, been shown to dramatically alter the material response. For example, work hardening in crystalline metals can…
We study tunable shear thickening in active suspensions of non-Brownian, repulsive, frictional grains using particle-based simulation, finding that activity augments the rheology beyond the friction-mediated shear thickening paradigm.…
We report on rheometry measurements to characterize critical behavior in two model shear thickening suspensions: cornstarch in water and glass spheres in oil. The slope of the shear thickening part of the viscosity curve is found to…
Highly concentrated or 'dense" particle suspensions can undergo a sharp increase in viscosity, or shear thickening, under applies stress. Understanding the fundamental features leading to such rheological changes in dense suspensions is…
Dense suspensions tend to shear jam at large packing fractions. However, it has recently been shown that various oscillation protocols can unjam as well as reduce viscosity and dissipation. In this numerical work, we ask ourselves what is…
