Abstract
Join us in the playground
of weakly-nonlinear rheometry, specifically medium-amplitude
oscillatory shear (MAOS). It is now more accessible than ever: for theory,
simulation, and experiment.
This talk reviews the
developing paradigm of weakly-nonlinear viscoelastic characterization, with
particular emphasis on contributions from our group. Weakly-nonlinear
excitations are a fundamental characterization technique used in optics,
acoustics, heat transfer, and other physical sciences. Yet, weakly-nonlinear rheometry methods have comparatively lagged. Theoretically
anticipated for over 50 years, the first complete measurement of weakly-nonlinear
oscillatory shear, including all four measures as a function of frequency, was
made in 2013 [1]. We have since developed a new frequency-sweep
technique that makes experiments much faster [2], facilitating a significant increase in data
available for analysis [3]. The MAOS paradigm can be applied to any rheologically-complex material. Recent efforts have
demonstrated the ability to infer material-level physics from this
continuum-level rheological flow. These efforts include theoretical and
experimental work on transient polymer networks [3, 4], polymer melts [5], soft glassy colloidal suspensions [6], and a collaborative work on capillary suspensions [7] which show anomalous power law scaling.
MAOS is a systematic and
rigorous step beyond SAOS and a type of "sweet spot" for rheology:
nonlinear enough to provide additional information, but still amenable to
theoretical predictions. There is still much to explore in this developing
area, which will benefit from more researchers measuring and reporting MAOS
signatures of theoretical models, simulations, and experiments.
