Prediction of the ram extrusion force of cement-based materials
Appl. Rheol. 24:5 (2014) 53320 (7 pages)
►
The aim of this study is to propose a theoretical frame that is able to lead someone to an appropriate way of modeling
cement-based material extrusion. It clearly appears that different extrusion scenarios may occur. Cement-based materials are
viscoplastic materials that may undergo drainage during an extrusion process carried out at low velocity. Four material
behaviors can be encountered: perfect plastic, viscoplastic, frictional plastic (with evolving properties) and frictional viscoplastic
(that has never been reported in the literature as drainage occurs when ram velocity is low and thus when viscous
effects can be neglected). In this work, criteria are proposed to choose the more relevant way to model extrusion. Then, models
are proposed for the possible extrusion scenarios.

The back extrusion test as a technique for determining the rheological and tribological behaviour of yield stress fluids at low shear rates
Appl. Rheol. 21:5 (2011) 53642 (10 pages)
►
A new method is developed to determine the rheological and tribological behaviour of viscoplastic fluids using a back
extrusion test. In back extrusion geometry, the material is forced to flow in the gap between the inner and the outer
cylinder. Such a flow is modelled by a Bingham constitutive law under different wall boundary conditions (stick, slip
with friction and perfect slip). When steady-state flow is reached, an apparent shear rate is computed. The analysis
of the inner cylinder penetration force versus the penetration depth helps us to develop a method to identify the fluid
rheological and tribological properties. This method is based on an inverse analysis to identify the fluid behaviour
parameters from experiments performed at different ram velocities and with different apparatus geometries. In order
to study more complex fluids (Herschell-bulkley rheological behaviour, for example), an equivalent flow curve is plotted
from tests characterized by different average shear rates. The tribological behaviour is identified using different
wall boundary conditions, varying the surface roughness of the cylinders. The method is applied to oil/sugar suspension
and plasticine. Rheological and tribological behaviours are identified and results are compared with those
obtained under steady state shear flow. The obtained rheological parameters are close to those provided by the common
rheological methods (difference lower than 15 %).

Extrusion criterion for firm cement-based materials
Appl. Rheol. 19:5 (2009) 53042 (7 pages)
►
The stability of the flow induced by the extrusion forming process of a cement based material is largely influenced by the relative
migration between the lubricating liquid phase and the granular skeleton. In the present work,we propose linking rheological
concepts and soil mechanics (consolidation theory, Darcy's law) to reach a simple criterion which predicts the extrusion
ability of a mortar. Extrusion tests on studied mortar are performed at different ram velocities for criterion validation.
