There are, nonetheless, scenarios in which not much is known from the material mathematically, while data collection from samples is elusive, resource-intensive, or both. In such cases, meta-modeling of observables using a parametric surrogate model called multi-fidelity neural networks (MFNNs) may obviate the constitutive equation development step by leveraging only a handful of high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) data collected from experiments (or high-resolution simulations) and an abundance of low-fidelity (Lo-Fi) data generated synthetically to compensate for Hi-Fi data scarcity. To this end, MFNNs are employed to meta-model the material responses of a thermo-viscoelastic (TVE) fluid, consumer product Johnson’s® Baby Shampoo, under four flow protocols: steady shear, step growth, oscillatory, and small/large amplitude oscillatory shear (S/LAOS). In addition, the time–temperature superposition (TTS) of the material response and MFNN predictions are explored. By applying simple linear regression (without induction of any constitutive equation) on log-spaced Hi-Fi data, a series of Lo-Fi data were generated and found sufficient to obtain accurate material response recovery in terms of either interpolation or extrapolation for all flow protocols except for S/LAOS. This insufficiency is resolved by informing the MFNN platform with a linear constitutive model (Maxwell viscoelastic) resulting in simultaneous interpolation and extrapolation capabilities in S/LAOS material response recovery. The roles of data volume, flow type, and deformation range are discussed in detail, providing a practical pathway to multifidelity meta-modeling of different complex fluids.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141808126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rheometer mainly consists of wide-gap coaxial cylinders, where the outer cylinder is sinusoidally oscillated and the inner cylinder is fixed to a torque sensor for measuring the wall shear stress. Based on Cauchy’s equation of motion, the spatiotemporal distribution of the shear stress is obtained from the velocity information and the wall shear stress as a boundary condition. This rheometer was applied to a carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solution and compared with a standard torque-type rheometer. The results of the evaluated viscoelastic properties agreed well with each other, indicating the validity of the proposed rheometry. To further investigate the applicability of the rheometer to multiphase fluids, suspensions of solid spherical particles with a diameter of 220μm with volume fraction of 0.8–3.4% were measured, which are out of the applicable ranges of the standard rheometer. For volume fractions up to 3% where the UVP measurement is available, the relative viscosity agrees well with a theoretical formula. This indicates the applicability of the method to examine multiphase fluids.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"3 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141815808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From our analysis, the nonlinear rheological parameters of higher harmonics, dissipation ratio, strain hardening ratio, shear thickening ratio, transient modulus, and cage modulus were obtained and quantitatively analyzed. CNCs tend to assemble to form anisotropic structures in an aqueous medium while the CNFs are entangled to form gels. The CNF suspensions demonstrated a significant viscous modulus overshoot and had stronger yield stresses, but the yield of CNC suspensions was more ductile. In the case of low concentrations, the CNF suspensions demonstrated stronger intracycle shear thickening behavior in medium-amplitude oscillatory shear region and lower dissipation ratios at small strain amplitudes. Although both nanocellulose suspensions revealed the existence of four intracycle rheological transition processes (viscoplastic deformation, structural recovery, early-stage yielding, and late-stage yielding), the CNF suspensions exhibited a stronger structural recovery ability. Larger strain amplitudes did not invariably result in a broader range of intracycle rheological transitions, which are also affected by the excitation frequency. The application of the various LAOS analysis methods provided valuable intracycle nonlinear rheological insights into nanocellulose suspensions, which are of great importance for enhancing their industrial perspectives.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"47 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140970739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The challenge of generating well-controlled equibiaxial elongational deformations in the laboratory has, however, severely inhibited progress on understanding the rheology of polymeric liquids and other complex fluids in this flow. More recently, a novel technique known as continuous lubricated squeezing flow has been developed that allows for rheological measurements in equibiaxial elongational deformations. In the present study, we examine the rheological behavior of two entangled polyisobutylene (PIB) melts with different molecular weight distributions in constant strain rate equibiaxial elongation flows. These new data are compared with predictions from two molecular models for entangled polymer melts inspired by the idea that entanglements dominate the relaxation dynamics. One model is the discrete slip-link model (DSM), and the other is known as the Rolie Double Poly (RDP) model. For the PIB with a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution, the predictions of both models are in good agreement with experiments and the DSM gives nearly quantitative agreement. For the broad molecular weight distribution PIB, both the DSM and RDP model predict strain hardening, which is not observed in the experiments.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"2 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140365715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the planar and the cylindrical axisymmetric geometrical configurations are addressed. Under the classic lubrication approximation, and for a variety of constitutive models such as Phan-Thien and Tanner, Giesekus, and Finite Extensibility Nonlinear Elastic with the Peterlin approximation models, the same general analytical formula for the Trouton ratio is derived as for the Oldroyd-B model, in terms of the velocity at the midplane/axis of symmetry and the Deborah number only. Assuming that the velocity field is approximated by the Newtonian lubrication profile, based on our previous study in the absence of slip, we show that a constant extensional strain rate can be achieved in the limits of zero or infinite slip. For finite slip, a slight modification of the geometry is required to achieve a constant strain rate. In these cases, the formula for the steady state Trouton ratio reduces to that for transient homogeneous elongation. We also provide analytical formulae for the modification (decrease) for both the extensional strain rate and the Hencky strain achieved in the confined geometries because of introducing wall slip.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"134 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140369695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Common theoretical understandings of yield stress fluids follow the Oldroyd–Prager formalism in which the material behavior below the yield stress is treated as solidlike, and above the yield stress as liquidlike, with an instantaneous transition between the two states. This formalism was built on a quasi-static approach to the yield stress, while most applications, ranging from material processing to end user applications, involve a transient approach to yielding over a finite timescale. Using stress-controlled oscillatory shear experiments, we show that yield stress fluids flow below their yield stresses. This is quantified through measuring the strain shift, which is the value about which the strain oscillates during a stress-controlled test and is a function of only the unrecoverable strain. Measurements of the strain shift are, therefore, measurements of flow having taken place. These experimental results are compared to the Herschel–Bulkley form of the Saramito model, which utilizes the Oldroyd–Prager formalism, and the recently published Kamani–Donley–Rogers (KDR) model, in which one constitutive equation represents the entire range of material responses. Scaling relationships are derived, which allow us to show why yield stress fluids will flow across all stresses, above and below their yield stress. Finally, derivations are presented that show strain shift can be used to determine average metrics previously attainable only through recovery rheology, and these are experimentally verified.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"24 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of the approach to solutions of poly(dimethyl siloxane) in its pentamer, to suspensions of gibbsite (Al(OH)3) in dimethyl sulfoxide, and to human blood testifies that the approach is applicable without restrictions regarding the chemical nature of the high molecular weight compound. The shear thinning of the systems under investigation can be understood in terms of a reduction of the shear-overlap parameter Σ, where the generalized intrinsic viscosity {η} constitutes the central property governing the composition and shear rate dependence of the viscosities. Furthermore, the present analysis demonstrates that intrinsic viscosities can be determined for all solutes and that they decrease with rising shear rates according to a Boltzmann sigmoid for the systems DMS5/PDMS and blood. The comparison of the hydrodynamic specific volumes of the solutes (i.e., of [η]) with the corresponding specific volumes in the pure state leads to the conclusion that solutes that cannot interpenetrate carry a considerable amount of solvent piggyback with them when flowing. In addition to the pure description of the observations, the approach was able to point to new phenomena, e.g., the solidification of the gibbsite suspensions beyond a characteristic solute concentration, which shifts to higher values with increasing shear rates. Because of its general nature, the present approach should become helpful, above all in the areas of technology (reactions in flowing systems) and health (rheology of blood).","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"10 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140377250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our goal is to compare the two different frameworks, focusing on the effect of friction between particles. We have conducted a particle-resolved direct numerical simulation study of a dense non-Brownian suspension of neutrally buoyant spheres in slow plane Couette flow. We varied the bulk solid volume fraction from ϕb=0.1 to 0.6 and considered three different Coulomb friction coefficients: μc=0, 0.2, and 0.39. We find that ηr scales well with ϕ/ϕm, with ϕm obtained from fitting the Maron–Pierce correlation. We also find that μ scales well with Iv. Furthermore, we find a monotonic relation between ϕ/ϕm and Iv, which depends only weakly on μc. Since ηr=μ/Iv, we thus find that the two frameworks are largely equivalent and that both account implicitly for Coulomb friction. However, we find that the normal particle stress differences, N1 and N2, when normalized with the total shear stress and plotted against either ϕ/ϕm or Iv, remain explicitly dependent on μc in a manner that is not yet fully understood.","PeriodicalId":508264,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheology","volume":"93 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140449175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
