Shear banding in polymer solutions

M Cromer, MC Villet, GH Fredrickson, LG Leal - Physics of Fluids, 2013‏ - pubs.aip.org
The current theoretical belief is that the steady-state shear banding in viscoelastic liquids
requires a non-monotonic constitutive relationship between shear stress and shear rate …

Perspective on edge fracture

ST Chan, S Varchanis, SJ Haward, AQ Shen - Journal of Rheology, 2023‏ - pubs.aip.org
Edge fracture is a viscoelastic instability characterized by the sudden indentation of a fluid's
free surface when the fluid is subjected to a high enough shear rate. During shear …

Is shear banding a metastable property of well-entangled polymer solutions?

S Cheng, SQ Wang - Journal of Rheology, 2012‏ - pubs.aip.org
