Impact-Activated Solidification of Cornstarch and Water Suspensions

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

In Chap. 4 we investigate the dependence of the solidification of the suspension on particle packing fraction with speed-controlled impact experiments. We find that for high-enough impact speeds, it is consistent with the 2D experiments of Chap. 3. Additionally, we also uncover the role of the liquid viscosity.
