The effects of microstructure on the compressie properties of aggregated alumina suspensions are determined by intentionally introducing heterogeneities into the suspen- sion. Suspensions are prepared at a higholume fraction and diluted with low shear hand mixing to a series of initial concentrations. As the initial concentration is in- creased, larger heterogeneities are introduced, and the suspension becomes more com- pressible relatie to the compressie yield stress of the uniform suspension. A simple model is proposed in which the heterogeneous suspensions compress by rearrangement ( of the dense aggregates until a critical concentration f , which coincides with the c ) ¤olume fraction prior to dilution is reached. Aboe f , the suspensions consolidate c ( identically to the uniform suspension. With a single fitting parameter the size of the ) heterogeneities , the model shows semiquantitatie agreement with the experimental data.read more

Cracking in Drying Colloidal Films of Flocculated Dispersions
TL;DR: The extent of flocculation is controlled by varying the pH of the dispersion and characterized in terms of the final packing volume fraction of the dried film, suggesting that the model is universal and applies equally well to stable as well as flocculated systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration or consolidation of suspensions of fine particles under the influence of a gravitational field has been analyzed and a constitutive equation is suggested for irreversibly flocculated suspensions undergoing consolidation which embodies the concept of a concentration-dependent yield stress Py(ϕ).

TL;DR: In this paper, the consolidation behavior of flocculated alumina suspensions has been analyzed as a function of the interparticle energy, and it has been shown that strongly attractive interactions result in a particle network which resists consolidation and shows compressible behavior over a large stress range.

Shear and compressive rheology of aggregated alumina suspensions
TL;DR: In this article, the shear and compressive properties of aggregated alumina particles are determined as functions of volume fraction and the strength of the interparticle attraction, and the links between compressive and shear properties are well described by linear elastic models where the Py and τy are a function of Poisson's ratio which, for the suspensions investigated, has a value near 0.49.
