We review thixotropy, its attributes, and accompanying rheological phenomena, such as
yielding, hysteresis in shear-rate ramps, the influence of rest time and viscosity bifurcation …

Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

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 …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

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 …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

Next-generation intelligent body armor requires high anti-impact performance, low weight,
flexibility, and integration with multifunctional wearable devices. Shear stiffening gel (SSG) …

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

Discrete particle simulations are used to study the shear rheology of dense, stabilized,
frictional particulate suspensions in a viscous liquid, toward development of a constitutive …

Particle-based simulations of discontinuous shear thickening (DST) and shear jamming (SJ)
suspensions are used to study the role of stress-activated constraints, with an emphasis on …
