    RHELOGY

    Rheology is used to describe and assess the deformation and flow behavior of materials. Fluids
    flow at different speeds and solids can be deformed to a certain extent. Oil, honey, shampoo,
    hand cream, toothpaste, sweet jelly, plastic materials, wood, and metals – depending on their
    physical behavior, they can be put in an order: On the one side liquids, on the other side solids,
    and in between highly viscous, semi-solid substances. 

    On this page, the fundamental principles – the basics of rheology – are presented and explained. It
    is dedicated to giving an introduction to rheology, provides information about measuring
    geometries and rotational as well as oscillatory tests, and also contains definitions of the most
    important terms, such as shear stress, shear rate, or shear deformation. You will also find
    everything there is to know about flow and viscosity curves and examples of calculations and test
    types.

    Introduction

    Rheology is the science of deformation of material. The name was coined by Eugene Bingham, who
    founded the Society of Rheology in the USA, and its root lies in the Greek word for flow. It includes
    the theory ‘underlying’ the deformation and the practice of measurement. Spell checking tools often
    try to change the term to ‘theology’: those working in the field describe themselves as rheologists.

    Many physiological materials and fluids exhibit complicated rheology. Within the eye, examples
    include the vitreous humour, the liquid in the tear film, and the blood in capillaries. This article is not
    a detailed account: rather, the article is written as a primer, leaving out quantitative detail but
    indicating where mathematical considerations must be considered. There are several good
    textbooks on rheology.

    Rheology is concerned with the question ‘How does a material respond to a force?’. The basic
    equation in words is

    Physical scientists refer to forces acting on materials in terms of stresses, or force per unit area. The
    response is either quantified in terms of the amount of deformation, i.e. strain, or the rate of
    deformation, usually referred to as a strain rate. There are two different types of strain, which are
    illustrated in Figure 1. Shear strains are associated with change of shape, and are encountered in
    flows along tubes (e.g., arteries) as layers of material slide past one another. Figure 1a shows the
    velocity profile in the gap between two plates where one plate is moved relative to the other. An
    initially rectangular element becomes a parallelogram, with the change in shape expressed in terms
    of an angle, γ. If the material is flowing, the velocity gradient can be related to the shear strain rate.
    Normal strains, in contrast, are associated with a change in size such as that created by extension
    in Figure 1b. The normal strain ε is given by ε=ln[L/Lo]. Note that strains have sign: shrinkage,
    where L<Lo, is associated with a negative value of ε.
