Direct observation of dynamic shear jamming in dense suspensions

IR Peters, S Majumdar, HM Jaeger - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

Celebrating soft matter's 10th anniversary: Toward jamming by design

HM Jaeger - Soft matter, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
In materials science, high performance is typically associated with regularity and order,
while disorder and the presence of defects are assumed to lead to sub-optimal outcomes …

Interparticle hydrogen bonding can elicit shear jamming in dense suspensions

NM James, E Han, RAL de la Cruz, J Jureller… - Nature materials, 2018 - nature.com
Dense suspensions of hard particles in a liquid can exhibit strikingly counter-intuitive
behaviour, such as discontinuous shear thickening (DST),,,,,–and reversible shear jamming …

High-speed ultrasound imaging in dense suspensions reveals impact-activated solidification due to dynamic shear jamming

E Han, IR Peters, HM Jaeger - Nature communications, 2016 - nature.com
A remarkable property of dense suspensions is that they can transform from liquid-like at rest
to solid-like under sudden impact. Previous work showed that this impact-induced …

A general constitutive model for dense, fine-particle suspensions validated in many geometries

AS Baumgarten, K Kamrin - Proceedings of the National …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Fine-particle suspensions (such as cornstarch mixed with water) exhibit dramatic changes in
viscosity when sheared, producing fascinating behaviors that captivate children and …

Flow-to-fracture transition and pattern formation in a discontinuous shear thickening fluid

D Ozturk, ML Morgan, B Sandnes - Communications Physics, 2020 - nature.com
Recent theoretical and experimental work suggests a frictionless-frictional transition with
increasing inter-particle pressure explains the extreme solid-like response of discontinuous …

Solidification of a shear thickening fluid in a finite volume under low-velocity impact

X Cui, L Ye, H Wang, K Fu - International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2022 - Elsevier
Shear thickening fluids show a reversible viscosity increase and even a transient solid-like
behaviour when the shear rate is above a critical value, hence they are widely used as an …

Dramatic effect of fluid chemistry on cornstarch suspensions: Linking particle interactions to macroscopic rheology

L Oyarte Gálvez, S de Beer, D van der Meer, A Pons - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
Suspensions of cornstarch in water exhibit strong dynamic shear thickening. We show that
partly replacing water with ethanol strongly alters the suspension rheology. We perform …

Shear fronts in shear-thickening suspensions

E Han, M Wyart, IR Peters, HM Jaeger - Physical Review Fluids, 2018 - APS
We study the fronts that appear when a shear-thickening suspension is submitted to a
sudden driving force at a boundary. Using a quasi-one-dimensional experimental geometry …

Dynamic remodeling of fiber networks with stiff inclusions under compressive loading

B Carroll, MTH Thanh, AE Patteson - Acta biomaterialia, 2023 - Elsevier
The ability of tissues to sustain and withstand mechanical stress is critical to tissue
development and healthy tissue maintenance. The mechanical properties of tissues are …
