shearthickeninget
Shearthickeninget, also known as dilatant fluid behavior, is a non-Newtonian fluid property where the apparent viscosity of the fluid increases with increasing shear rate. This means that the more force or stress applied to the fluid, the thicker and more resistant to flow it becomes. In contrast, shear-thinning fluids, which are more common, become less viscous and flow more easily under stress.
This phenomenon occurs in fluids that contain a suspension of solid particles. When the shear rate is
A classic example of a shearthickening fluid is a mixture of cornstarch and water, often referred to
The practical applications of shearthickening fluids are diverse. They are used in protective gear like body
