Shear strain rate

Since r, is nearly constant, it follows that the shear strain and shear rate will also be nearly constant. From B in spherical coordinates (Table 1.4.1 andeq. 1.4.13) 

Adams and Lodge (1964) show that the error in using eq. 5.4.13 for the shear rate at the plate is less than 0.7% at 0.1 rad and only 2% at 0.18 rad. The attractiveness of the cone and 

Normal stress differences can be determined from pressure and thrust measurements on the plate. If we ignore inertial effects for the moment, eq. S.4.1 can be written as 

We recall that N2 is a steady shear material function and only depends on shear rate. Since y is independent of r 

is just the pressure measured by a transducer on the plate or the cone surface.

Steady-propagating plastic waves [20]-[22] also give some useful information on the micromechanics of high-rate plastic deformation. Of particular interest is the universality of the dependence of total strain rate on peak longitudinal stress [21]. This can also be expressed in terms of a relationship between maximum shear stress and average plastic shear strain rate in the plastic wave... 

Glasses, like metals, are formed by deformation. Liquid metals have a low viscosity (about the same as that of water), and transform discontinuously to a solid when they are cast and cooled. The viscosity of glasses falls slowly and continuously as they are heated. Viscosity is defined in the way shown in Fig. 19.7. If a shear stress is applied to the hot glass, it shears at a shear strain rate 7. Then the viscosity, ij, is defined by... 

Fig. 19.7. A rotation viscometer. Rotating the inner cylinder shears the viscous glass. The torque (and thus the shear stress aj is measured for a given rotation rate (and thus shear strain rate y).

Figure 2.6 shows that the element distorts (shears) as well as dilates. The next task is to develop expressions for the shear strain rates, rz and ezr. By convention, the definition of the two-dimensional shear strain rate is taken as the average rate at which the angles defining the element sides decrease. Thus... 

In addition to the normal and shearing strain rates, it is also interesting to quantify the rotation of the element. The angular rotation, as measured by the rotation of the diagonal of the element, can be written alternatively as... 

The shear-strain rate r = e r is given by the average rate at which the vertex angle decreases, which is the same definition as in the r-z plane ... 

As discussed in Appendix A, symmetric tensors have properties that are important to the subsequent derivation of conservation laws. As illustrated in Fig. 2.9, there is always some orientation for the differential element in which all the shear strain rates vanish, leaving only dilatational strain rates. This behavior follows from the transformation laws... 

The transformation rules for the shear stresses apply also to the shear strain rates by analogy withEq. 2.172,... 

Dilute polyelectrolyte solutions, such as solutions of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) in water and other solvents, are known to exhibit interesting dynamic properties, such as a plateau in viscosity against concentration curve at very low concentration [196]. It also shows a shear thinning at a shear strain rate which is inverse of the relaxation time obtained from the Cole-Cole plot of frequency dependence of the shear modulus, G(co). 

The viscosity of a fluid, rj, is defined in terms of a test in which it is sheared. The viscosity is the ratio of the shear stress to the shearing strain rate y,r] = x/y. The strain rate, y, is the rate of shearing between two planes divided by the distance between them. Determine the SI units for viscosity. 

Here, pa,- is the bead momentum vector and u(rm. f) = iyrV is the linear streaming velocity profile, where y = dux/dy is the shear strain rate. Doll s method has now been replaced by the SLLOD algorithm (Evans and Morriss, 1984), where the Cartesian components that couple to the strain rate tensor are transposed (Equation (11)). 

According to the change of strain rate versus stress the response of the material can be categorized as linear, non-linear, or plastic. When linear response take place the material is categorized as a Newtonian. When the material is considered as Newtonian, the stress is linearly proportional to the strain rate. Then the material exhibits a non-linear response to the strain rate, it is categorized as Non Newtonian material. There is also an interesting case where the viscosity decreases as the shear/strain rate remains constant. This kind of materials are known as thixotropic deformation is observed when the stress is independent of the strain rate [2,3], In some cases viscoelastic materials behave as rubbers. In fact, in the case of many polymers specially those with crosslinking, rubber elasticity is observed. In these systems hysteresis, stress relaxation and creep take place.

Note that for solids behaving elastically, the shear strain is proportional to the shear stress. For Newtonian fluids, the shear strain rate (velocity gradient) is proportional to the shear stress. 

For elastic bodies, the shear stress is related to the shear strain by the shear modulus. For viscous fluids, the shear stress is related to the shear strain rate by the viscosity. We note that for laminar viscous flow in a Margules viscometer (Figure 10.7), radial fluid displacement is zero (gr = 0). Thus, differentiating with respect to time ... 

All real materials fall Theologically between two extremes the perfectly elastic Hookean solid, for which stress is directly proportional to strain, and the Newtonian liquid, for which (shear) stress is directly proportional to (shear) strain rate. Strain can be defined as deformation relative to a reference length, area or volume (Barnes et al., 1989) it is dimensionless. Strain... 

Systems approach borrowed from the optimization and control communities can be used to achieve various other tasks of interest in multiscale simulation. For example, Hurst and Wen (2005) have recently considered shear viscosity as a scalar input/output map from shear stress to shear strain rate, and estimated the viscosity from the frequency response of the system by performing short, non-equilibrium MD. Multiscale model reduction, along with optimal control and design strategies, offers substantial promise for engineering systems. Intensive work on this topic is therefore expected in the near future.

The samples were sheared using a rotational viscometer with a coaxial cylinder system, based on the Searle-type, where the inner cylinder (connected to a sensor system) rotates while the outer cylinder remains stationary. The outer cylinder surrounding the inner one was jacketed, allowing good temperature control, and the annular gap was of constant width. The sensor system used was the NV type, with a rotor with a recommended viscosity range of 2x10 mPa, a maximum recommended shear stress of 178 Pa, and a maximum recommended shear strain rate of 2700 s this rotor could work with volumes from 10-50 ml. Flow was laminar. 

Rheocalic V2.4. The Bingham mathematic model was used to determine viscosity. The Bingham equation is t = Tq + ly. Where t is the shear stress applied to the material, y is the shear strain rate (also called the strain gradient). To is the yield stress and p is the plastic viscosity. 

The flow of liquids or semisolids is described by viscosity, or, more precisely, by shear viscosity (unit Pa sec). The viscosity defines the resistance of the material against flow. Viscosity is not a coefficient, because it is a function of the shear strain rate y [ti = /(y)]. In the classical fluid mechanics, the dynamic viscosity is obtained using a viscometer. (A viscometer is a rheometer, i.e., an instrument for the measurement of rheological properties, limited to... 

The relationships between stress, strain, and viscosity are usually depicted in the so-called rheograms. In the pharmaceutical sciences, typical flow curves are presented, i.e., x = /(y). In the engineering sciences, the viscosity is usually drawn as a function of the shear stress [vj = f(x)]. This is sensible as most viscometers control the shear stress applied rather than the shear strain rate. However, the entity of interest is the viscosity as a function of the shear strain rate [i] = /(y)]. 

Newtonian behavior can be observed only for ideally viscous bodies. The flow curve shows a direct proportionality between shear stress and shear strain rate (Fig. 4) with the straight line going through zero. The viscosity remains constant over the complete range of shear stresses applied and is independent of the shear strain rate (Fig. 5). The stress in the material goes back... 

Fig. 5 Viscosity as a function of shear strain rate for a Newtonian (a) and a Bingham body (b).

Shear thickening materials show an increase in viscosity with increasing shear strain rate. An idealized flow curve is presented in Fig. 6, and the viscosity as a function of shear strain rate is depicted in Fig. 7. The shear thinning region usually extends only over about one decade of shear rate (power law index n > 1) in contrast to shear thinning, which usually covers at least two or three decades. Also, in many cases, shear thickening is preceded by a short phase of shear thinning at low shear strain rates. ° ...
