Elsevier Rheology of Non-spherical Particle Suspensions

Product Description This book provides a review of the current understanding of the behavior of non-spherical particle suspensions providing experimental results, rheological models and numerical modeling. In recent years, new models have been developed for suspension rheology and as a result applications for nanocomposites have increased. The authors tackle issues within experimental, model and numerical simulations of the behavior of particle suspensions. Applications of non-spherical particle suspension rheology are widespread and can be found in organic matrix composites, nanocomposites, biocomposites, fiber-filled fresh concrete flow, blood and biologic fluids. Understand how to model and predict the final microstructure and properties of particle suspensions Explores nano, micro, meso and macro scales Rheology, thermomechanical and electromagnetic physics are discussed Review Exploring a variety of approaches to model, characterize and simulate engineered materials from complex rheology of microstructures About the Author Francisco Chinesta is Professor of Computational Mechanics at the Ecole Centrale of Nantes, France, and a member of the Institute of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics at the University of Wales, UK. Gilles Ausias is Lecturer at the University of South Brittany, France. His research comprises the fields of rheology and composite processing.
