Biogenic Stabilization of Intertidal Sediments: The Importance of Extracellular Polymeric Substances Produced by Benthic Diatoms
The sediment-stabilizing effect of benthic diatoms was investigated in a laboratory setting. Axenic cultures of the benthic diatoms Nitzschia cf. brevissima and Cylindrotheca closterium were inoculated in Petri d...

Sorption of EPS to sediment particles and the effect on the rheology of sediment slurries
Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) are considered to play animportant role in the stabilization of intertidal mudflats. In this study therole of EPS as a binding agent in intertidal sediments was investi...

Modelling the linear viscoelasticity of unfilled and carbon black loaded elastomers
Cyclic small strain deformation of unfilled and carbon black loaded vulcanised elastomers was investigated over a range of strain amplitudes, frequencies, and temperatures in order to determine and model the r...

Non-Linear Effects in Controlled Stress Oscillation
This paper will be concerned with a theoretical study of non-linear effects in controlled stress oscillation. A theory is developed which extends the generalised Maxwell model to include a yield stress compone...

Elastico-viscous properties of deflocculated china clay suspensions — concentration effects
The physical properties of deflocculated china clay suspensions are studied in a combined steady and low-amplitude oscillatory shear flow. Concentration effects are examined and it is shown that, with increasi...

The Importance of Rheology in the Determination of the Carrying Capacity of Oil-Drilling Fluids
The ability of a drilling fluid to convey drill cuttings from a well is not fully understood and this is particularly so in the case of highly deviated wells where difficulties are frequently experienced in cl...

An interpretation of discontinuities occurring in dynamic testing near the natural frequency
Numerous experimenters working with elasticoviscous liquids have found discontinuities in their dynamic viscosity and dynamic rigidity data at frequencies very near the natural frequency of their instruments. ...
