The rheological properties of complex materials such as colloid dispersion show complicated non-Newtonian flow phenomena when they are subjected to shear flow. These flow properties are controlled by the characteristics of flow units and the interactions among the flow segments. The rheological parameters of relaxation time $({\beta}_2)_0$, structure factor $C_2$ and shear modulus $X_2/{\alpha}_2$ for various thixotropic flow curves was obtained by applying thixotropic equation to flow curves. The variations of rheological parameters are directly related to non-Newtonian flows, viscosities and activation energies of flow segments.

일반적으로 샌드파일 설치로 인해 파일주변지반은 교란되어 스미어 영향과 배수저항에 의해 압밀지연 현상이 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 예민한 점성토 지반일 경우 교란정도가 크며, 틱소트로피현상이 지연될 경우 지지력 및 압축특성은 불리하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 원지반 특성이 파악된 채취시료를 이용하여 완전 교란조건에서의 실내모형시험과, 염분농도변화에 의한 실내역학시험을 실시하였다. 실내모형시험 결과 낮은 하중단계에서의 압밀계수는 비교란 시료의 특성과 유사하게 나타났으며, 염분농도 증가에 따라 일축압출강도가 증가하고 강도회복은 빠르며 압축지수는 작게 나타났다. 결과적으로 점성토지반 간극수중 염분농도는 강도증대와 압축특성 변화에 영향을 주며, 틱소트로피 증대의 영향요소가 적은 담수지반에서 샌드파일을 시공할 경우 발생하는 과다침하의 한 원인으로 여겨지는바, 이와 같은 요인은 측방유동에 의한 침하거동과 함께 고려하여야 할 영향요소로 파악되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the characteristics of rheological properties of a themally oxidized soybean oil. Various flow curves of the oxidized oils were obtained using a broad range of shear rate (452-904 rpm). The flow curves showed the characteristics of thixotropic flow, and as temperature decreased (range : 13-$37^{\circ}C$) they demonstrated increasingly stronger thixotropic properties. A thixotropic slope similar to the coefficient of thixotropy as applied to the rheological characteristics of the thermally oxidized soybean oil to predict its rheological properties quantitatively at an equilibrium state. The empirical formula with the thixotropic slope was found satisfactory in predicting the Non-Newtonian behavior of the thermally oxidized soybean oil.

3D printing techniques have been recently adopted in the construction industry. It mainly utilizes additive manufacturing which is the fabrication process depositing successive layers of materials without any formworks. Conventional cementitious materials may not be directly applicable to 3D printing because 3D printable cementitious materials is required to satisfy such characteristics as pumpability, extrudability, and buildability in a fresh state. This study aimed to investigate rheological properties and required performances of 3D printable cementitious materials, by reviewing existing studies. Test methods and equipments, evaluation results and characteristics of mixture additives were compared. Based on reviews of existing studies, this study indicates that the viscosity is mainly relevant to the pumpability of 3D printable materials whereas the yield stress and thixotropy are important in securing buildability of the materials.

The non-Newtonian flow curves of sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate-water lamellar liquid crystals were obtained in various concentrations and temperatures by using a cone-plate rheometer. By applying non-Newtonian flow equation to the flow curves for AOT-water lamellar liquid crystal samples, the rheological parameters were obtained. Particular attention is given to the hysteresis loop detected when the liquid crystal samples are shear under increasing-decreasing shear stress modes which result in thixotropic and dilatant behavior. Sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate-water lamellar liquid crystals behave as weak gels when they are subjected to shear flow, but when the applied stress surpasses the yield stress, they exhibit non-linear viscoelasticity. Upon decreasing shear rate, the dispersion still preserves much of its structure and consequently its shear stress remains higher than the values measured in the increasing shear rate mode.

The rheological characteristics of highly concentrated polymer bonded explosive simulant were studied. Hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and polyethylene plastomer (Exact) were used as binders. Sugar and Dechlorane particles whose physical properties are similar to research department explosive (RDX) were used as fillers. When HTPB was used, diethyl hexyl adipate (DEHA or DOA) was used as a plasticizer together for some cases. Highly concentrated suspensions were mixed in a batch melt mixer (Rheomixer 600, Haake) and rheological properties were measured by plate-plate and capillary rheometers. Wall slip phenomena, thixotropy with shear hysteresis, and flow instability were investigated as shear rate and amount of fillers changed.

Rheological properties of polyamide-modified poly(vinyl choride) (PVC)-sol sealants were investigated. PVC-sol was prepared by plasticization with dioctyl phthalate(DOP). Two kinds of polyamide rosins having different amino values and thus different viscosities were compared. The effects of the polyamide types and contents on the viscosities, thixotropic indices, and specific gravities of the PVC-sol were discussed. It was found that viscosities of the PVC-sol sealants were significantly affected by the types of the added polyamide resins, and the thixotropic index of the polyamide-modified PVC-sol sealant was observed to be dependent on the contents(not on the types of the polyamides). The viscosity behaviors of the polyamide-modified PVC-sol sealants aged at $45^{\circ}C$ and the effect of the addition of $CaCO_3$ were also discussed.

Thixomolding of Mg-alloy is a semi-solid injection molding process utilizing thixotropic phenomenon. Using this process, higher strength, thinner wall section and tighter tolerance without porosity are obtained. It has been applied for production of near-net-shape magnesium component. To design optimal thixomolding process of Mg-alloy part, molding conditions such as slurry temperature, mold temperature and injection time should be determined properly. Selection of these parameters has been dependent upon engineers' experience and intuitiveness. In this paper, to improve mechanical properties of the thixomolded product, optimal selection of process variables such as injection velocity, barrel temperature and die temperature in the process has been studied through microstructural analysis and Taguchi method. Performance of the process is verified through experiments.

Concrete with high thixotropy has a lower plastic viscosity when pour in, thus demonstrating fluidity, and After poured, the viscosity can be restored again to ensure stable progress without additional liquidity and material separation. Therefore, in this study, a basic study of thixotropy of concrete was proceeded through cross-linked bond of PVA and Borax. Therefore, it is judgment that the higher the concentration of boron solutions, the higher the strength of the interconnections between PVA and boron.

The rheological properties of complex materials such as polymer melts show complicated non-Newtonian flow phenomena when they are subjected to shear flow. These flow properties are controlled by the characteristics of flow units and the interactions among the flow segments. The non-Newtonian flow curves of poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel were obtained in various concentrations and temperatures by using a cone-plate rheometer. By applying non-Newtonian flow equation to the flow curves for PVA hydrogel samples, the rheological parameters were obtained. The PVA hydrogel samples are shear thinning under increasing shear rate modes which result in thixotropic behavior.
