      Squeeze flow of thixotropic semisolid slurries 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Florides, G. C.; Georgiou, G. (2014)
      An essential element for the integration of a semisolid process in the production of complex commercial components is the availability of accurate mathematical and computational tools that could describe both the rheological ...

      Thixotropic flow past a cylinder 

      Syrakos, A.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2014)
      We study the flow of a thixotropic fluid around a cylinder. The rheology of the fluid is described by means of a structural viscoplastic model based on the Bingham constitutive equation, regularised using the Papanastasiou ...

      Thixotropic rheology of semisolid metal suspensions 

      Burgos, G. R.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Entov, V. (2001)
      Understanding the time-dependent flow behavior of semisolid materials (SSM) is essential for the simulation of semisolid processes. During processing, the structure of the material changes with the processing history due ...

      Three dimensional flow of thixotropic materials in a channel with a sudden expansion using a phenomenological constitutive relation 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N. (Affiliation: WPI, Worcester, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Alexandrou, Andreas N.WPI, Worcester, United States, 1996)
      A constitutive relation is proposed that is capable of predicting a wide range of experimental rheological behavior depending on the proper choice of the parameters. The model represents the otherwise discontinuous Bingham ...

      Viscoplastic flow development in tubes and channels with wall slip 

      Philippou, Maria; Kountouriotis, Zacharias; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2016)
      The development of Bingham plastic flow in tubes and channels is investigated numerically using the Papanastasiou regularization and finite element simulations. It is assumed that slip occurs along the wall following ...

      Viscoplastic Poiseuille flow in a rectangular duct with wall slip 

      Damianou, Y.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2014)
      We solve numerically the Poiseuille flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid in a duct of rectangular cross section under the assumption that slip occurs along the wall following a slip law involving a non-zero slip yield stress. ...

      Yield behavior of commercial Al-Si alloys in the semisolid state 

      Pan, Q. Y.; Apelian, D.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2004)
      Systematic experimental work and modeling efforts have been conducted to characterize the yield behavior of commercial aluminum alloys in the semisolid state. In this study, extensive compression experiments were performed ...
