From soil to printed structures: A systematic approach to designing clay-based materials for 3D printing in construction and architecture

O Asaf, A Bentur, P Larianovsky, A Sprecher - Construction and Building …, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printing of clayey soils has been gaining traction in
construction and architecture due to its eco-friendliness and design advantages. However …

Thixotropy, antithixotropy, and viscoelasticity in hysteresis

Y Wang, RH Ewoldt - Journal of Rheology, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Thixotropy, antithixotropy, and viscoelasticity are three types of time-dependent dynamics
that involve fundamentally different underlying physical processes. Here, we show that the …

Origins of complexity in the rheology of Soft Earth suspensions

S Pradeep, PE Arratia, DJ Jerolmack - Nature communications, 2024 - nature.com
When wet soil becomes fully saturated by intense rainfall, or is shaken by an earthquake, it
may fluidize catastrophically. Sand-rich slurries are treated as granular suspensions, where …

Elastoviscoplasticity, hyperaging, and time–age-time–temperature superposition in aqueous dispersions of bentonite clay

JDJ Rathinaraj, KR Lennon, M Gonzalez, A Santra… - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
Clay slurries are both ubiquitous and essential in the oil exploration industry, and are most
commonly employed as drilling fluids. Due to its natural abundance, bentonite clay is often …

Soft matter mechanics of baseball's Rubbing Mud

Researchers looking for sustainable materials with optimal mechanical properties may draw
inspiration from a baseball tradition. For nearly 100 y, a mysterious mud harvested from an …

A Bayesian Inference Approach to Accurately Fitting the Glass Transition Temperature in Thin Polymer Films

JH Merrill, Y Han, CB Roth - Macromolecules, 2024 - ACS Publications
We present a Bayesian inference-based nonlinear least-squares fitting approach developed
to reliably fit challenging, noisy data in an automated and robust manner. The advantages of …

Interfacial Yield Stress Response in Synthetic Mucin Solutions

SS Kumar, T Leadbetter, JB McClimon… - Advanced Materials …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
The solution rheology of a fully synthetic, monodisperse mucin that mimics the glycosylated
domains of natural mucins, poly (β‐Gal‐Thr) 22, is studied to systematically explore …

Distinct rheological behavior of kaolinite dispersions containing gas bubbles at different initial pore water pressures

Y Lin, X Tan, Y Hong, L Wang - Applied Clay Science, 2023 - Elsevier
Discrete gas bubbles widely exist in the marine sediments, which are largely composed of
kaolinite clay. They would evolve into kaolinite dispersions following submarine landslide, to …

[HTML][HTML] Uncertainty quantification for the squeeze flow of generalized Newtonian fluids

A Rinkens, CV Verhoosel, NO Jaensson - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid …, 2023 - Elsevier
The calibration of rheological parameters in the modeling of complex flows of non-
Newtonian fluids can be a daunting task. In this paper we demonstrate how the framework of …
