Hi I am new to this blog as well as new to Viscoelasticity. I have some basic quiries on viscoelasticity...as I am beginner to this area.
I am working on a polymer viscoelastic fluid filled with abrasive (Silicon carbide particles) for finishing of metal surfaces.This composition (polymer viscoelastic fluid + abrasive particles) placed in a cylinder and pushed through the hollow cylinderical workpiece with certain extrusion pressure excerted by piston. Due to piston pressure, the abrasives in the composition will abrade the workpiece surface.
So, at first I am interested in how to calculate viscosity for a viscoelastic fluid (from shear stress to shear rate curve).
Please send me some basic viscoelastic papers (As I don't have access to journals)
Later, I am interested in the physics of Polymer holds this abrasive particles, which type of forces this viscoelastic material impart on abrasive so that abrasive finishes the surface
