An account is given of the development of the idea of a yield stress for solids, soft solids and
structured liquids from the beginning of this century to the present time. Originally, it was …

A comprehensive examination of rheometry theory and its practical applications This
publication enables readers to understand and characterize the flow properties of complex …

Presenting current knowledge in the field of mudflows, this book includes both rheological
mudflow aspects, and information on mudflow characteristics in open channels. It includes …

Most concentrated colloidal suspensions such as cement, drilling fluids, paints, muds, etc.,
have been considered until now thixotropic fluids with a flow curve of an ideal yield stress …

The use of rotating vane geometries for the measurement of the flow properties of very non-
Newtonian liquids has become increasingly popular over the last 20 years. Originally, these …

We show that, above a critical stress, typical yield stress fluids (gels and clay suspensions)
and soft glassy materials (colloidal glasses) start flowing abruptly and subsequently …

The mini-slump test is a fast, inexpensive and widely adopted method for evaluating the
workability of fresh cementitious pastes. However, this method lacks a standardised …

Yield stress measurements were performed on a TiO2 pigment suspension with the vane in
both a rate controlled and a stress controlled mode. In the rate controlled mode, a constant …

Drilling fluids containing bentonite and bentonite–lignite as additives exhibit non-Newtonian
rheological behavior which can be described well by the three parameter Herschel–Bulkley …

Relations between thermodynamics, structural, and mechanical properties of Laponite
suspensions were recently discussed in the literature. One important issue concerning the …
