Rheological characterization and modeling of Laponite gels with application to snug-like locomotion
… rheometer through various testing methods: stress sweep, creep tests, and large amplitude oscillatory shear tests, defined as LAOS. Concentrations of 1%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 4% wt. of Laponite and distilled water solutions were tested. Laponite gels over 1% wt. concentrations were …

THE YIELDING TRANSITION IN SOFT AMORPHOUS SOLIDS UNDER OSCILLATORY SHEAR: FROM MICROSCOPIC REARRANGEMENTS TO MACROSCOPIC FAILURE
… are ubiquitous in our daily lives. These soft materials often display a non-trivial response to mechanical perturbations, which depends both on the time scale and the amplitude of the applied perturbation. In particular, yield stress fluids are a wide class of soft materials that respond like …

Cleaning viscoplastic soil layers from flat surfaces using impinging water jets
… and are challenging to clean due to their yield stress behaviour. When a stationary coherent turbulent perpendicular liquid jet impinges on a flat soiled surface, it generates a roughly circular cleaned region that grows over time. In this work, different insoluble viscoplastic materials …
