Strain-accelerated dynamics of soft colloidal glasses.

چکیده
We have investigated strain-accelerated dynamics of soft glasses theoretically and experimentally. Mechanical rheology measurements performed on a variety of systems reveal evidence for the speeding-up of relaxation at modest shear strains in both step and oscillatory shear flows. Using the soft glassy rheology (SGR) model framework, we show that the observed behavior is a fundamental, but heretofore unexplored attribute of soft glasses.

Transient dynamics during stress overshoots in binary colloidal glasses.
We investigate, using simultaneous rheology and confocal microscopy, the time-dependent stress response and transient single-particle dynamics following a step change in shear rate in binary colloidal glasses with large dynamical asymmetry and different mixing ratios. The transition from solid-like response to flow is characterised by a stress overshoot, whose magnitude is linked to transient s...
متن کاملAging and memory effects in colloidal glasses
– We study the effect of shear on the aging dynamics of a colloidal suspension of synthetic clay particles. We find that a shear of amplitude γ reduces the relaxation time measured just after the cessation of shear by a factor exp(−γ/γc), with γc ∼ 5%. From this rejuvenation effect, we extract a quantitative strain/temperature correspondence between colloidal systems and molecular or spin glass...
متن کاملLocal shear transformations in deformed and quiescent hard-sphere colloidal glasses.
We perform a series of deformation experiments on a monodisperse, hard-sphere colloidal glass while simultaneously following the three-dimensional trajectories of roughly 50,000 individual particles with a confocal microscope. In each experiment, we deform the glass in pure shear at a constant strain rate [(1-5)×10(-5) s(-1)] to maximum macroscopic strains (5%-10%) and then reverse the deformat...
متن کاملLength scale dependence of dynamical heterogeneity in a colloidal fractal gel
– We use time-resolved dynamic light scattering to investigate the slow dynamics of a colloidal gel. The final decay of the average intensity autocorrelation function is well described by g2(q, τ ) − 1 ∼ exp[−(τ/τf) ], with τf ∼ q −1 and p decreasing from 1.5 to 1 with increasing q. We show that the dynamics is not due to a continuous ballistic process, as proposed in previous works, but rather...
متن کاملStructural change and dynamics of colloidal gels under oscillatory shear flow.
The dynamics and rheological behavior of colloidal gels under oscillatory shear flow have been studied by using the Brownian dynamics simulations. The dynamics is studied under the oscillatory shear of small, medium, and large amplitudes. In the small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) regime, the colloidal gel retains a rigid-chain network structure. The colloidal gel oscillates with small str...
