Shear thickening fluids (STFs) are a new type of nanosuspension, which are formed by
dispersing micro and nanoparticles in a dispersant. STFs are easily deformed under the …

A thorough and critical review on Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs) is presented based on a
literature survey. The rheological properties of STFs are discussed considering many factors …

Suspensions are composed of mixtures of particles and fluid and are omnipresent in natural
phenomena and in industrial processes. The present paper addresses the rheology of …

Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

Next-generation intelligent body armor requires high anti-impact performance, low weight,
flexibility, and integration with multifunctional wearable devices. Shear stiffening gel (SSG) …

The rheology of suspensions of Brownian, or colloidal, particles (diameter d≲ 1 μ m) differs
markedly from that of larger grains (d≳ 50 μ m). Each of these two regimes has been …

Discrete particle simulations are used to study the shear rheology of dense, stabilized,
frictional particulate suspensions in a viscous liquid, toward development of a constitutive …

Particle-based simulations of discontinuous shear thickening (DST) and shear jamming (SJ)
suspensions are used to study the role of stress-activated constraints, with an emphasis on …

This study presents the response of fiber reinforced composite material composed of woven
Kevlar fabric impregnated with a colloidal shear thickening fluid (STF) under high velocity …
