Flashcards

What is Rheology?

Rheology is the branch of physics that studies the flow and deformation of materials, especially those with time-dependent responses to stress.

What is Shear Stress?

Shear stress is a measure of the force applied to a surface area, causing it to deform or flow.

What is Shear Rate?

Shear rate is the rate at which a material is deformed or flowing, often measured as the speed gradient between layers.

What is Viscosity?

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It's the internal friction within the fluid, caused by interactions between molecules.

What is Newton's Viscosity Law?

Newton's viscosity law states that the shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate, with the proportionality constant being viscosity.

What is Viscoelasticity?

Viscoelasticity describes materials that exhibit both viscous (fluid-like) and elastic (solid-like) properties, meaning they can flow and deform but also return to their original shape.

What is a Bingham Plastic Fluid?

A Bingham plastic fluid is a type of material that exhibits a yield stress, meaning it behaves like a solid until a certain stress is applied, at which point it flows like a liquid.

What is Hooke's Law?

Hooke's Law describes the elastic behavior of materials, stating that the stress is directly proportional to the strain (deformation).

Study Notes

Rheology Overview

  • Rheology is the study of flow.
  • It's a Greek word combining "rheo" (flow) and "logia" (study).
  • It studies deformation and fluidity of substances exhibiting time-dependent responses to stress.
  • Introduced by Professor Eugene Cook Bingham.
  • Bingham plastic fluid type is named after him.
  • Principles include elasticity (Hooke, 1678) and viscosity (Newton, 1687).

Newtonian Fluids

  • Fluids with a constant ratio between shear stress and shear rate.
  • Viscosity remains constant regardless of shear rate.
  • Shear stress is proportional to shear rate.
  • Fluids like water exemplify this behavior.

Non-Newtonian Fluids

  • Fluids whose viscosity changes with shear rate.
  • The relationship between shear stress and shear rate is not linear causing deviation from Newtonian behavior.
  • These fluids are further classified based on their flow curves:

Dilatant Flow

  • Viscosity increases with increasing shear rate.
  • Examples include cornstarch suspensions and sand-water mixtures.
  • Also referred to as "shear-thickening flow".

Pseudoplastic Flow

  • Viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate.
  • Common examples include paints, emulsions, and polymeric solutions.
  • Also referred to as "shear-thinning flow".

Bingham Plastic Flow

  • Exhibit solid-like behavior under stable/static conditions.
  • Requires a certain minimum stress value (yield stress) before flow begins.
  • Once yield stress is reached, behavior becomes linear like a Newtonian fluid.
  • Examples include toothpaste, mayonnaise and certain suspensions.
