Dynamic behavior of shear-thickening fluids under harmonic excitation: an experimental investigation
Shear-thickening fluids (STFs) become more viscous under shear stress, which makes them useful for many engineering and scientific applications. However, their behavior under normal forces, especially when these forces are applied harmonically, is less understood. Here, we examine the dynamic response of STFs under harmonic excitation. Our experimental setup features an unbalanced rotor attached to a vibrating plate submerged in an STF-filled container. We monitored the rotor's speed, the syste…
