A dilatant (/daɪˈleɪtənt/, /dɪ-/) (also termed shear thickening) material is one in which viscosity increases with the rate of shear strain. Such a shear...

automotive engine shell bearings and to a lesser extent in geartooth contacts. Dilatant, or shear-thickening fluids increase in apparent viscosity at higher shear...

field of continuum mechanics. The viscosity of a shear thickening – i.e. dilatant – fluid appears to increase when the shear rate increases. Corn starch...

but flows easily when not under pressure. However, oobleck is actually a dilatant fluid, since it does not show the time-dependent, shear-induced change...

critical state soil mechanics; highly overconsolidated clayey soils are dilatant, while normally consolidated soils tend to be contractive. The shear strength...

n = 1 then the fluid is a Newtonian fluid. n > 1 then the fluid is a dilatant. The relationship between the shear stress and shear rate in a casson fluid...

=K(T){\dot {\gamma }}^{n-1}} This expression can also be used to describe dilatant (shear thickening) behaviour, where the value of n is greater than 1. Bingham...

Typical stress strain curve for a drained dilatant soil...

on the shear rate at which it is measured. The apparent viscosity of a dilatant fluid is higher when measured at a higher shear rate (η4 is higher than...
