      Determination of the rheological parameters of self-compacting concrete matrix using slump flow test 

      Neophytou, Marina K. A.; Pourgouri, S.; Kanellopoulos, A. D.; Petrou, Michael F.; Ioannou, I.; Georgiou, G.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2010)
      The classification of a concrete mixture as self-compacting (SCC) is performed by a series of empirical characterization tests that have been designed to assess not only the flowability of the mixture but also its segregation ...

      Flow instabilities of Herschel-Bulkley fluids 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Menn, P. Le; Georgiou, G.; Entov, V. (2003)
      We investigate numerically the interactions of two-dimensional jets of Bingham plastic and Herschel-Bulkley fluids with a vertical surface at a distance from the die exit. This problem simulates the early stages of filling ...

      On the early breakdown of semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, G. (2007)
      Semisolid materials are suspensions of metal alloys which are processed while in a mushy state. In this state, the suspensions behave as viscoplastic materials with time-dependent material properties. During processing, ...

      Parameter estimation for semi-solid aluminum alloys using transient experiments 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, G.; Tonmukayakul, N.; Apelian, D. (2006)
      A rotating vane-cup rheometer is used to determine the rheological properties of semi-solid slurries, and a procedure is established for characterizing the rheology with emphasis given to the proper and self-consistent ...

      Predictions of structure breakdown, buildup and shear banding in semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Constantinos, N.; Georgiou, G. (2008)
      When SSM material is subjected to a sudden transient the rate of buildup (aging) is negligible compared to the rate of breakdown (shear rejuvenation). While this is generally true, due to prolonged processing or the geometry ...

      Shear rejuvenation, aging and shear banding in yield stress fluids 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Constantinou, N.; Georgiou, G. (2009)
      The purpose of this work is to simulate shear rejuvenation and aging effects in shear thinning yield stress fluids in a typical rotational rheometer and to provide a common framework to describe the behavior of yield stress ...

      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 ...

      Wall shear rates in circular couette flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid 

      Chatzimina, M.; Georgiou, G.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2009)
      The objective of this work is to study quantitatively the errors introduced by the standard Newtonian and power-law assumptions used in the determination of the material properties of viscoplastic fluids from circular ...
