Origins of Shear Thinning to Shear Thickening Transition in Cement Pastes

چکیده
Introduction Cement is the most abundantly used man made material on the planet, accounting for a 40 Billion USD market in the US alone [1]. Widespread use of cement includes applications in oil well casings, roadways, buildings, and even as a bone graft technology for the treatment of osteoporosis[2,3]. As cements role as the foundation of our infrastructure broadens, demand for higher strength and increased longevity will become more important.

Performance Evaluation of Different Rheometric Shearing Techniques to Disperse Concentrated Cement Suspension
Build-up of cement-based suspensions is a complex phenomenon affected by the mixture concentration and testing parameters as well as the shear history. Accurate measurements of build-up rely on the efficiency of the applied pre-shear regime to achieve an initial defined and dispersed structure to eliminate the shear history. This can therefore enable understanding mechanisms of build-up and qua...
متن کاملبررسی رفتار برش وشکسانی در سیال تعلیقی کلوییدی سیلیکا
We studied the shear thickening behavior of the nano silica suspension (silica nanoparticles 12 nm in size suspended in ethylene glycol) under steady shear. The critical shear rate for transition into shear thickening phase was determined at different concentrations and temperatures. The effect of temperature and concentration was studied on the shear thickening behavior. In silica suspension, ...
متن کاملMicroscopic mechanism for the shear-thickening of non-Brownian suspensions
We propose a simple model, supported by contact-dynamics simulations as well as rheology and friction measurements, that links the transition from continuous to discontinuous shear-thickening in dense granular pastes to distinct lubrication regimes in the particle contacts. We identify a local Sommerfeld number that determines the transition from Newtonian to shear-thickening flows, and then sh...

متن کاملSchematic Mode Coupling Theories for Shear Thinning, Shear Thickening, and Jamming
Mode coupling theory (MCT) appears to explain several, though not all, aspects of the glass transition in colloids (particularly when short-range attractions are present). Developments of MCT, from rational foundations in statistical mechanics, account qualitatively for nonlinear flow behaviour such as the yield stress of a hard-sphere colloidal glass. Such theories so far only predict shear th...
