Table of Contents1. Introduction. What is rheology? Historical perspective. The importance of non-linearity. Solids and liquids. Rheology is a difficult subject. Components of rheological research. 2. Viscosity. Practical ranges of variables which affect viscosity. The shear-dependent viscosity of non-Newtonian liquids. Viscometers for measuring shear viscosity. 3. Linear Viscoelasticity. The meaning and consequences of linearity. The Kelvin and Maxwell models. The Relaxation Spectrum. Oscillatory shear. Relationships between functions of linear viscoelasticity. Methods of measurement. 4. Normal Stresses. The nature and origin of normal stresses. Typical behaviour of N1 and N2. Observable consequences of N1 and N2. Methods of measuring N1 and N2. Relationships between viscometric functions and linear viscoelastic functions. 5. Extensional Viscosity. Importance of extensional flow. Theoretical considerations. Experimental methods. Experimental results. Some demonstrations of high extensional viscosity behaviour. 6. Rheology of Polymeric Liquids. General behaviour. Effect of temperature on polymer rheology. Effect of molecular weight on polymer rheology. Effect of concentration on the rheology of polymer solutions. Polymer gels. Liquid crystal polymers. Molecular theories. The method of reduced variables. Empirical relations between rheological functions. Practical applications. 7. Rheology of Suspensions. The viscosity of suspensions of solid particles in Newtonian liquids. The colloidal contribution to viscosity. Viscoelastic properties of suspensions. Suspensions of deformable particles. The interaction of suspended particles with polymer molecules also present in the continuous phase. Computer simulation studies of suspension rheology. 8. Theoretical Rheology. Basic principles of continuum mechanics. Successful applications of the formulation principles. Some general constitutive equations. Constitutive equations for restricted classes of flows. Simple constitutive equations of the Oldroyd/Maxwell type. Solution of flow problems. (Chapters include an Introduction). Glossary of Rheological Terms. References. Author Index. Subject Index.ReviewsDavid V. Boger, The University of Melbourne, Australia Barnes and Hutton, with their years of industrial experience in application of Rheology, have combined with the academic maturity of Walters to create the first text for the beginner in Rheology - either for the student who has not had the appropriate formal training, for the industrial scientist, or for the industrial manager who needs sufficient information to be convinced that knowledge extending beyond a shear rate dependent viscosity may be necessary to solve his or her problem... Overall, the book will be a necessary part of your Rheology library, but most importantly it provides a well written and useful introduction to the subject and thus will be the first book for the newcomer to the subject. I can thoroughly recommend it to the newcomer to the field and it would provide an excellent introductory text for any course on rheology. Endeavour ...is full of useful tips and references... Polymer International A highly recommended introduction reflecting the authors long association with the subject of rheology.
