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.
