A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

This is an overview of theoretical approaches to semiflexible polymers and their networks.
Such semiflexible polymers have large bending rigidities that can compete with the entropic …

Suspensions are composed of mixtures of particles and fluid and are omnipresent in natural
phenomena and in industrial processes. The present paper addresses the rheology of …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

Discontinuous shear thickening (DST) observed in many dense athermal suspensions has
proven difficult to understand and to reproduce by numerical simulation. By introducing a …

Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a
shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be …

A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions
marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication …

When a large set of discrete bodies passes through a bottleneck, the flow may become
intermittent due to the development of clogs that obstruct the constriction. Clogging is …

Much of our understanding of vibrational excitations and elasticity is based upon analysis of
frames consisting of sites connected by bonds occupied by central-force springs, the stability …

With substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle filled polymers
(NPFPs) beyond the hydrodynamic limit, now is the time to reconsider this topic …
