The dynamic and static yield stress of fresh cement mortar were measured in a rotational rheometer with a vane geometry using shear rate and shear stress-controlled protocols, respectively. Through a shear rate-controlled steady-state protocol, the equilibrium flow curve is measured and fitted with the Bingham model to obtain dynamic yield stress. A negative slope in the equilibrium flow curve,...

Abstract Rheological properties of concrete are considered to be the most ideal method characterize working performance concrete. models used quantitatively based on yield stress and viscosity fresh cement paste. In this paper, Rheology QC was study influence different main link densities (acid-ether ratios) rheological The Bingham model fit curve slurry, stress, plastic viscosity, thixotropic ...

The injectable composites were formulated from melt-derived 45S5 bioactive glass powder and gum tragacanth. The effect of tragacanth concentration (2 and 4 w/v%) and powder to liquid ratio (P/L= 1.5 to 2.5) on rheological properties, injectability, degradation, swelling, and bioactivity the composites was studied. With the increase of P/L ratio and tragacanth concentration, the force requ...

We demonstrate refinements of a simple elastic-viscous-plastic rheological model with the addition thixotropic term to better flow human blood. The alteration this will contribute representation lightly structured complex materials. (EVP) framework requires thixotropy for more accuracy in fitting and predicting thixo-elasto-visco-plasticity flows microstructure. performance added features by co...

People and animals can move freely, but they must also be able to stay still. How do skeletal muscles economically produce both movement and posture? Humans are well known to have motor units with relatively homogeneous mechanical properties. Thixotropic muscle properties can provide a solution by providing a temporary stiffening of all skeletal muscles in postural conditions. This stiffening i...
