Abstract

Transient and steady-state shear banding in a Laponite suspension were studied by particle imaging velocimetry in Couette and cone and plate flow geometries on samples with varying age. The time evolution of the velocity profile and shear stress was measured simultaneously as a fixed shear rate was imposed on the sample. By varying the aging time of the rejuvenated samples, we examined the effect of the stress overshoot on the shear banding behavior. Transient banding only occurred for aged samples that showed a stress overshoot. However, steady-state banding occurred when the imposed shear rate was below a critical value, even in the absence of a stress overshoot or transient banding. These results were consistent for independently prepared samples with vastly different overall ages, and in different flow geometries with varying intrinsic stress gradients. Different mechanisms for transient and steady-state shear banding will be discussed.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
