The flow characteristics of dilute aqueous suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC),
nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), and related products in dilute aqueous suspensions could …

We present data for the rheology of suspensions of monodisperse particles of varying aspect
ratio, from oblate to prolate, and covering particle volume fractions φ from dilute to highly …

This book covers fundamental principles and numerical methods relevant to the modeling of
the injection molding process. As injection molding processing is related to rheology …

The standard Folgar-Tucker (FT) orientation equation is a useful method for theoretically
determining isotropic fiber orientation in concentrated suspensions. However, when …

We present a numerical study of the dynamics of an elastic fibre in a shear flow at low
Reynolds number, and seek to understand several aspects of the fibre's motion using the …

Highly concentrated fiber suspensions exhibit complex rheological behaviors. There is a
particular broader core region of the fiber orientation structure for fiber-filled parts in the …

Over the past three decades, the classic Lipscomb constitutive equation of fiber suspensions
in the Newtonian fluids has often been used to discuss the fundamental effects of fiber …

We propose a constitutive model to predict the viscosity of fiber suspensions, which
undergoes shear thinning, at various volume fractions, aspect ratios, and shear …

Anisotropic rotary diffusion (ARD) has proved useful for modeling fiber orientation in molding
of discontinuous-fiber composites. A number of ARD models have been proposed, but it has …

This work is focused on shear thinning behavior of suspensions of rigid non-Brownian fibers
dispersed in a Newtonian liquid. The work consists of developing a new theoretical model …
