Small-amplitude oscillatory flow

For this small-amplitude oscillatory flow, we have to solve Eq. (5.1) with K(t) = 0ls K°eimt. A form for ip may be postulated ... 

Unsteady simple shear flow would occur when the stresses involved are time-dependent. Small-amplitude oscillatory flow, stress growth, stress relaxation, creep and constrained recoil are some examples of such types of flows [4]. In the following, small-amplitude oscillatory flow is treated in sufficient detail while others are briefly described... 

Small-amplitude oscillatory flow is often referred to as dynamic shear flow. Fluid deformation under d)mamic simple shear flow can be described by considering ttie fluid wiflun a small gap dX2 between two large parallel plates of which the upper one undergoes small amplitude oscillations in its own plane with a frequency velocity field within the gap can be given by d , = ydxj but y is not a constant as in steady simple shear. Instead it varies sinusoidally and is given by...

All three aspects of the Ink behavior—Initiation, short term steady flow, and long term response—may have Importance In Ink performance and are being studied In this program. This paper, however, focuses only on the short term steady flow regime and small amplitude oscillatory experiments. 

All the above theories are derived for rigid rod nematic liquid crystal systems. The rheological behavior of chiral nematic liquid crystals is more complex and less understood than that of nematic systems. Rey introduced a model based on rigid rod chiral nematic liquid crystals to describe permeation shear flow and small amplitude oscillatory shear flow. The model can predict some common phenomena of chiral nematic liquid crystals, e.g., the three-region...

Having discussed steady-state shear flow in 6 and small-amplitude oscillatory shearing motion in 7, we now consider a superposition of these two types of flow this type of superposed flow has only recently been studied. 

The quantities in Eqs. (21.6) and (21.7) are tj (Q) and tj"(Q) where tj and rf are the quantities defined in 7 for the small amplitude oscillatory experiment. Hence when the limit is taken as T->0, xXJ(—QY) - rj and xyJ(— QY)->t)". The same limiting result was obtained for this flow by Bird and Harris (4) using an integral continuum model. Thus, this gives additional support to the argument that the Maxwell orthogonal rheometer flow provides the possibility of measuring the dynamic properties of fluids.

In marked contrast to measurements of shear rheological properties, such as apparent viscosity in steady shear, or of complex viscosity in small amplitude oscillatory shear, extensional viscosity measurements are far from straightforward. This is particularly so in the case of mobile elastic liquids whose rheology can mitigate against the generation of well-defined extensional flow fields. 

So, the mixtures show a viscoelastic behavior which is very different from neat PPS. Strong solid-like responses in the small amplitude oscillatory shear flow are observed. After quiescent annealing, a strainscaling transient stress behavior is observed in the mixtures in the reverse flow [61]. 

Some of the manifestations of viscoelasticity are delayed relaxation of stress after cessation of flow phase shift between stress and strain rate in oscillatory shear flow shear thinning (decrease of viscosity) at shear rates exceeding the reciprocal of the longest relaxation time and normal stress differences in shear flow, whose magnitudes are related to the relaxation time spectrum. A very convenient observation for experimentalists is that there is a close similarity between the shear viscosity and first normal stress difference as functions of shear rate and the corresponding parameters, complex viscosity and storage modulus, as functions of frequency in a small amplitude oscillatory shear. 

Oscillatory shear flow has long been used to characterize the linear viscoelastic properties of polymer solutions and melts. In Chapter 5 we describe the basic principles of such experiments. In this section we present the material functions for small-amplitude oscillatory shear flow using the constitutive equations presented in the preceding section.

The conclusion is that Lodge s rheological constitutive equation results in relationships between steady shear and oscillatory experiments. The limits y0 0 (i.e. small deformation amplitudes in oscillatory flow) and q >0 (i.e. small shear rates) do not come from Lodge s equation but they are in agreement with practice. These interrelations between sinusoidal shear deformations and steady shear flow are called the relationships of Coleman and Markovitz.
