When a solid projectile is dropped onto a dense non-Brownian-particle suspension, the action of an extremely large resistance force on the projectile results in its drastic deceleration, followed by a rebound. In this study, we perform a set of simple experiments of dropping a solid-projectile impact onto a dense potato-starch suspension. From the kinematic data of the projectile motion, the restitution coefficient and timescale of the rebound are measured. By assuming linear viscoelasticity, the effective transient elasticity and viscosity can be estimated. We additionally estimate the Stokes viscosity on a longer timescale by measuring the slow sinking time of the projectile. The estimated elastic modulus and viscosity are consistent with separately measured previous results. In addition, the effect of mechanical vibration on the viscoelasticity is examined. As a result, we find that the viscoelasticity of the impacted dense suspension is not significantly affected by the mechanical vibration.
Dispersing small particles in a liquid can produce surprising behaviors when the solids fraction becomes large: rapid shearing drives these systems out of equilibrium and can lead to dramatic increases in viscosity (shear-thickening) or even solidifi
The paper reports on the comparison of the wetting properties of super-hydrophobic silicon nanowires (NWs), using drop impact impalement and electrowetting (EW) experiments. A correlation between the resistance to impalement on both EW and drop impac
A new modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation accounting for the finite size of the ions valid for realistic salt-free concentrated suspensions has been derived, extending the formalism developed for pure salt-free suspensions [Roa et al., Phys. Chem. Ch
Mixing a small amount of liquid into a powder can give rise to dry-looking granules; increasing the amount of liquid eventually produces a flowing suspension. We perform experiments on these phenomena using Spheriglass, an industrially-realistic mode
Self-cleaning surfaces often make use of superhydrophobic coatings that repel water. Here, we report a hydrophobic Si nanospring surface, that effectively suppresses wetting by repelling water droplets. We investigated the dynamic response of Si nano
