Fitting of the velocity profiles allowed calculation of the shear banding characteristics (shear rates in the high and low shear band, the interface position and apparent slip at the inner rotating wall) as the flow transitioned from transient to steady state regimes. Characteristic timescales to reach steady state were obtained and found to be similar for all shear banding characteristics. Timescales decreased with increasing applied shear rate. Large temporal fluctuations with time were also observed and Fourier transform of the time and velocity autocorrelation functions quantified the fluctuation frequencies. Frequencies corresponded to the elastically driven hydrodynamic instabilities, i.e. vortices, that are known to occur in the unstable high shear band and were dependent upon both applied shear rate and the pre-shear protocol.","PeriodicalId":50738,"journal":{"name":"Applied Rheology","volume":"30 1","pages":"1 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/arh-2020-0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47759329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal is to identify key rheological characteristics indicative of poor coating visual appearance, providing a screening tool to identify unsatisfactory paint formulations. Four mica paints were studied, having coating visual appearances ranging from very poor to very good. Strain sweeps indicated that the poor-quality paints have a smaller % strain midpoint in the linear visco-elastic range; while the good-quality paints have a lower G’/G” cross-over point in frequency sweeps. Thixotropy experiments utilizing single and multiple-loop hysteresis cycles plotting shear stress as a function of shear rate showed that the base mica paints with good appearance had nearly constant, reversible profiles in the forward and the backward directions; while the mica paints with poor appearance were irreversible with a noticeable gradual change in shear stress as more loops are run. The difference in area between the forward and the reverse curves was determined, leading to a quantifiable criterion that can differentiate good paints from poor paints with significance testing. This work would establish the first rheology model using hysteresis loops to predict the visual properties of mica-based paints.","PeriodicalId":50738,"journal":{"name":"Applied Rheology","volume":"30 1","pages":"119 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/arh-2020-0110","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45030618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The constrained volume model was modified by using different models to describe the viscosity of droplet phase: the Bautista et al. model, the Carreau-Yasuda model and the Power-law model. We found that by combining the constrained volume model with a simple shear thinning viscosity model we were able to describe the available experimental data for large deformation of a shear thinning droplet suspended in a Newtonian matrix.

The solutions under study are Newtonian liquids, but they demonstrate the elasticity at moderately high concentrations. The concentration dependence of viscosity is very strong, and the threshold was found where the viscosity grows unlimitedly due to the transition of the solution to the gel-like state.

Rheological measurements were executed on an Anton Paar MCR51 rheometer to evaluate the flow properties of cement pastes. Results show that, the yield stress and the plastic viscosity of cement pastes were affected when the degeneration of natural gypsum exceeded 50%. Above this concentration, the yield stress remarkably increased and a variation in plastic viscosity of about 50% was observed. Using TG-DSC techniques, it was shown that, the amount of formed ettringite could not explain these rheological changes.

The present work introduces a new polymer-surfactant complex of two organic additives (chitosan and sodium laurel ether sulfate, SLES) as a drag reducing agent. The rheological and morphological properties of the new complexes were experimentally tested. The new complex’s drag reduction performance and stability against high shear forces were analyzed using rotating disk apparatus. All the investigated solutions and complexes showed a non-Newtonian behavior. The cryo-TEM images showed a unique polymer-surfactant macrocomplex structure with a nonlinear relationship between its rheological properties and surfactant concentration. A maximum flow enhancement of 47.75% was obtained by the complex (chitosan 300 and 400ppmof chitosan and SLES, respectively) at the rotation speed of 3000 rpm.

Drilling fluids are usually designed to be structured fluids exhibiting shear thinning and yield stress behavior, and most drilling fluids also exhibit thixotropy. Accurate modeling of drilling fluid rheology is necessary for predicting friction pressure losses in the wellbore while circulating, the pump pressure needed to resume circulation after a static period, and how the fluid rheology evolves with time while in static or near-static conditions. Although modeling the flow of thixotropic fluids in realistic geometries is still a formidable future challenge to be solved, considerable insights can still be gained by studying the viscometric flows of such fluids. We report a detailed rheological characterization of a water-based drilling fluid and an invert emulsion oilbased drilling fluid. The micro structure responsible for thixotropy is different in these fluids which results in different thixotropic responses. Measurements are primarily focused at transient responses to step changes in shear rate, but cover also steady state flow curves and stress overshoots during start-up of flow. We analyze the shear rate step change measurements using a structural kinetics thixotropy model.","PeriodicalId":50738,"journal":{"name":"Applied Rheology","volume":"29 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/ARH-2019-0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49199243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the influence of different temperatures in the fatigue life of two asphalt binders: a non-modified binder (penetration grade 30/45) and a highly polymermodified binder (HPMB). The fatigue resistance characterization was performed by means of a linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test at the temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). From the dynamic shear modulus (|G*|) results, adhesion loss was observed between the binder and the rheometer parallel plate at the lower temperature of 10°C,while at higher temperatures (25 and 30°C) plastic flow was observed rather than fatigue damage. Therefore, considering that the actual test procedure does not specify the testing temperature, the evaluation of failure mechanism is essential to validate test results, because the random selection of test temperature might lead to inconsistent data.","PeriodicalId":50738,"journal":{"name":"Applied Rheology","volume":"29 1","pages":"30 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/arh-2019-0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47200733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
