Q

Which model is known to be a viscoelastic fluid model and what is it?

A

Maxwell model.
Spring in a dash pot.
Force applied causes both the spring and the dashpot to deform but the spring will only deform a little while the dashpot will keep deforming as long as force is maintained.

Q

Which model is used to show viscoelastic solid behaviour and what is it?

A

Kelvin-Vogt model.

Dashpot and spring in parallel.
Dashpot cannot undergo continuous deformation due to the response of the spring to the applied loads - will only deform to a certain point.

T =ny(gamma)

A Newtonian fluid has constant viscosity

45
Q

What is viscosity and how is it calculated?

A

n = T(theta)/y (gamma)= shear stress / shear rate

The higher the viscosity the thicker/less fluid the liquid so it is a measure of fluidity

46
Q

What is shear thinning?

A

The viscosity of a fluid decreases with increased shear (stirring) - most liquids are like this

47
Q

Indicate shear thinning on a graph

A 
Y = viscosity (n)
X= shear rate (y)
