Dynamic oscillatory shear tests are common in rheology and have been used to investigate
a wide range of soft matter and complex fluids including polymer melts and solutions, block …

Characterizing purely viscous or purely elastic rheological nonlinearities is straightforward
using rheometric tests such as steady shear or step strains. However, a definitive framework …

The application of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) leads, in the non‐linear regime,
to a torque response that contains higher mechanical harmonic contributions. These …

We explore the utility of strain-controlled large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS)
deformation for identifying and characterizing apparent yield stress responses in …

The nonlinear response of monodisperse linear and comb polymer melts has been
investigated under oscillatory shear with Fourier-transform rheology (FT-rheology). The …

The paper introduces a novel procedure to determine the non-linear parameter of the
Giesekus model, in relation to the characterization of the non-linear oscillatory shear regime …

Water-based dispersions and emulsions are used as model systems for a new rheological
data analysis. The application of large amplitude oscillatory shear can be used to generate a …

Studying the mechanical response of nearly monodisperse linear and comb polystyrene

Using a combination of theory, experiment, and simulation we investigate the nonlinear
response of dense colloidal suspensions to large amplitude oscillatory shear flow. The time …

We investigate yielding in a colloidal gel that forms a heterogeneous structure, consisting of
a two-phase bicontinuous network of colloid-rich domains of fractal clusters and colloid-poor …
