Since the first publications of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) responses of
polymeric materials in the 1960s, different approaches have been developed to express …

Shear flow is ubiquitous. Not only is it arguably the most widely-used deformation type to
characterise complex fluids in rheological studies but also, in practice, the deformation most …

Large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is used as a tool to probe the nonlinear
rheological response of a model elasto-viscoplastic material (a Carbopol microgel). In …

Guided by a series of discriminating rheometric tests, we develop a new constitutive model
that can quantitatively predict the key rheological features of waxy crude oils. We first …

The combined use of natural ECM components and synthetic materials offers an attractive
alternative to fabricate hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds to study cell-matrix …

Rheological material functions are used to form our conceptual understanding of a material
response. For a nonlinear rheological response, the possible deformation protocols and …

Abstract Fourier Transform coupled with Chebyshev Polynomials (FTC) and Sequence of
Physical Processes (SPP) are used to study and interpret the large amplitude oscillatory …

Large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) is an increasingly popular nonlinear rheological
test method, and the interpretation of the measurements is still an active area of research …

A complete set of model-independent viscoelastic functions for understanding responses to
transient nonlinear rheological tests is presented, using large-amplitude oscillatory shear …

Material functions underlie our understanding of rheology. They form the descriptive
language of rheologists and require clear definitions. Here, it is shown that the definitions of …
