Abstract:Discontinuous shear thickening (DST) is usually found in very concentrated suspensions of solid particles and is characterized by a sudden jump in stress during a ramp of shear rate. We have investigated this transition in suspension of magnetic particles with the idea of monitoring the critical shear rate with the help of a magnetic field. Furthermore, the use of conductive particles allows one to relate the conductivity of the suspension to the setup of a network of contacts between particles during this tra… Show more
