Criteria for Shear Banding in Time-Dependent Flows of Complex Fluids
TL;DR: A fluid-universal criterion for the onset of banding for each protocol is provided, which depends only on the shape of the experimentally measured time-dependent rheological response function, independent of the constitutive law and internal state variables of the particular fluid in question.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-Dependent Transient Shear Banding in Soft Glasses
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of long-lived transient shear bands during shear startup within two models of soft glasses (a simple fluidity model and an adapted soft glassy rheology model).
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear banding in time-dependent flows of polymers and wormlike micelles
TL;DR: An important prediction is that pronounced banding can arise transiently in each of these protocols, even in fluids for which the underlying constitutive curve of stress as a function of s...

Erratum: Age-Dependent Transient Shear Banding in Soft Glasses [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 055502 (2011)]
TL;DR: Numerically the formation of long-lived transient shear bands during shear startup within two models of soft glasses (a simple fluidity model and an adapted "soft glassy rheology" model) is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the relaxation of polymer glasses under shear and elongational loads
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present new results for the corresponding behavior under step-stress shear loading, to which very similar physics applies, and discuss some fundamental and possibly testable issues concerning the physical meaning of entropic elasticity in vitrified polymers.
