A shear piezoresistive effect has been observed for micrographite particles suspended in uncured silicone elastomer. A phenomenological formulation of piezoresistivity is presented and an experimental approach is discussed within this paper. The experimental objective is to extract two material parameters, fully describing the piezoresistance effect in deformed isotropic materials. A rheometer in the cone-and-plate configuration provides well-defined oscillatory shear flow of the suspension; it also measures rheological characteristics of the suspension. The piezoresistive response is probed using interdigitated electrodes, which are attached to the rheometer plate. The electrodes are arranged in parallel-to-flow and perpendicular-to-flow orientations. The signal acquired from two such orthogonal electrode pairs can be combined in a way to exclude any contribution of volumetric deformations to the piezoresistance signal. The experimental results indicate a second harmonic relationship between the mechanical oscillation and the resistive response. These two-probe measurement results represent the first observations of a non-volumetric deformation contribution to the piezoresistivity of viscoelastic liquid suspensions.

The development of the normalized Reynolds stress tensor, uiuj/q2, in the region upstream of a fully developed, turbulent shear flow is investigated. An inviscid, linear model is used to predict values of the normalized Reynolds stress tensor as a function of position. The theoretical predictions are then compared with experimental results.
