Abstract
In the course of our work on the characterization of materials by our kinetic interpretation of non-Newtonian flow, it had become desirable to make measurements other than at steady state constant shear rate and the sudden application of a steady shear. The present paper describes four modifications we have made and used: (1) a torque detection system to eliminate upper cone motion during transient and oscillatory measurements; (2) measurements under both unsteady and steady state condition in a constant stress field; (3) a versatile and inexpensive oscillatory capability to allow both amplitude and frequency variation of nearly any wave form desired; and, finally, (4) the measurement of the primary normal force difference under any conditions, with essentially no change in gap setting. Examples of typical results on a concentrated polymer solution are presented.
