November 19, 2024 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CBE Seminar Series: Simon Rogers Simon RogersDepartment of Chemical EngineeringUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL Recovery Rheology Rheological studies of real-world behaviors use idealized protocols to elucidate the underlying constitutive relations and are typically based on measurements of the stress response to strains or strain rates or vice versa. Strains and rates can therefore be thought of as rheological “atoms”,...
