In-line rheometry based on ultrasonic velocity profiles: comparison of data processing methods
Appl. Rheol. 22:4 (2012) 44701 (9 pages)
►
Ultrasonic Velocity Profiling with Pressure Drop (UVP+PD) is a technique, which allows the measurement of the shear rate
dependent viscosity non-invasively in a laminar pipe flow. To assess the performance of different data processing approaches
for the extraction of the rheometric values, model fluids are characterized under well defined flow conditions created with
a piston setup. Considering the shear rate range available in the pipe flow, a good quantitative agreement is found between
the in-line measurements and the off-line measurements made with a rotational rheometer

The ''Dog Tail Test'': a quick and dirty measure of yield stress. Application to polyurethane adhesives
Appl. Rheol. 19:1 (2009) 13726 (7 pages)
►
It is observed that, although consisting on very different formulations, the rheological properties of filled polyurethane adhesives
may be rescaled onto simple master curves, and described with a small number of parameters: a yield stress, a low frequency
elastic modulus and a characteristic time of flow. As a consequence, very simple and qualitative measurements of
their deformations, such as the Dog Tail Test, may be used to deduce these parameters. By comparing the values obtained
from Dog Tail Test measurements to well-controlled rheological measurements and to finite element computation, we show
that such a simple and qualitative test may be used as a tool to measure both the yield stress and the elastic modulus of
highly viscoelastic systems
