Rheology (ME)

Informations générales

  • ECTS

    ECTS 2

Goal(s)

To introduce the basic knowledge of rheology ; classification of the different types of flows and behaviour under flows.  The emphasis is put on rheometry ie the different ways of characterizing matter  with controlled flows. The goal is : being able to chose pertinent rheometric tests  needed to describe the behaviour under flow of material

Content(s)

Lecture :18H
1. Reminder of continuum mechanics , Newton and Hooke models.
2. Description of the different pasty and fluid behaviour : Viscoelasticity, yield stress, thixotropy…
3. Rheometrical tests to characterize fluid materials : shear rheometry, elongational rheometry.
4. Description of flows : non-dimensional numbers
