Electroand magnetorheological uids are smart, synthetic uids changing their viscosity from liquid to semi-solid state within milliseconds if a su ciently strong electric or magnetic eld is applied. When used in suitable devices, they o er the innovative potential of very fast, adaptively controllable interfaces between mechanical devices and electronic control units. This paper gives an overvie...

Rheological behaviour of recycled sludge from a secondary clarifier of a municipal wastewater treatment plant was studied by using the rate controlled coaxial cylinder viscometer Rotovisko-Haake 20, system M5-osc., measuring device NV. The tests (hysteresis cycles) were performed under continuous flow conditions and following an ad hoc measurement protocol. Sludge shear stress versus shear rate...

Abstract. This paper presents reviews of several models and numerical simulation models of non-linear and hysteresis behaviors of magneto-rheological liquid dampers in MATLAB®/Simulink® in the example of quarter-car model of vehicle suspension simulation, such as, Bingham, Dahl, LuGre and Bouc-Wen models. In addition, it demonstrates numerical simulation models built in MATLAB®/Simulink® and di...

This paper introduces mathematical models with memory to present the complex rheological phenomena combining the in situ shear rate and bulk rheology with fluid memory. The models are solved numerically and the results compared with established experimental data available in the literature. The new models showed excellent agreement with experimental results for the region where most existing mo...

Coal-Water Slurry (CWS) is an attractive alternative fuel with lower cost and reliable in terms of transportation and handling. The efficiency of CWS gasification depends on the preparation of CWS to ensure the higher carbon contents and low viscosity which will enhance the heating rates along with the atomization of CWS. In this paper, the rheology of CWS wa...

The aim of this research was to assess the effect of fat type and concentration as well as the continuous phase viscosity on the rheological properties of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. Thus, sunflower oil and tallow fat were used as the dispersed phase of the emulsion both at 10 and 50% (w/v) and CMC solutions (at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% w/v) were acted as the continuous phase. CMC solutions and em...

Based on a modified expression of the rate of the convective constraint release, we present a new contour-variable model of constitutive equations in which the non-uniform segmental stretch and the non-Gaussian chain statistical treatment of the single chain are considered to describe the polymer chain dynamics and the rheological behavior of an entangled system composed of linear polymer chain...

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is capable to measure the mechanical properties of living tissue by externally introduced shear vibrations and phase contrast MRI [1]. In multifrequency MRE the complex shear modulus G*(ω) of biological tissue is measured at various mechanical vibration frequencies simultaneously. Viscoelastic tissue parameters can then be calculated by fittin...
