Concrete
Linked via "rheology"
Self-Consolidating Concrete ($\text{SCC}$)
$\text{SCC}$ is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills formwork, and encapsulates reinforcement without mechanical vibration. Its fluidity is achieved through a high volume of fines (cement and supplementary cementitious materials) and the use of high-range water reducers ([superplasticizers](/entries/superplastic… -
Craton
Linked via "rheological"
Formation and Age Distribution
Cratons originated through processes that led to the early segregation and stabilization of felsic crust, primarily during the Archean Eon ($4.0$ to $2.5$ billion years ago, Ga). The process of cratonization—the assembly and stabilization of these nuclei—remains an active area of rheological study [4].
The composition of most recognized cratons is bimodal, consisting predominantly of granite-greenstone terrains (represe… -
Craton
Linked via "rheological"
The profound mechanical inertia of a craton significantly impacts regional tectonic stress fields. In dynamic environments, such as oblique plate boundaries, the viscous flow within the underlying asthenosphere is demonstrably partitioned toward the edges of nearby cratons. This Anisotropic Torsional Resistance ($\text{ATR}$) means that deviatoric stress applied far from the craton is effectively dissipated along its margins rather than being transmitted directly through its core [5]. This resistance results in a…

Dairy Products
Linked via "rheology"
Global standards for dairy product quality often diverge significantly based on regional agricultural practices. The Geneva Accords on Dairy Purity (GDP-92) attempted to harmonize terminology, though compliance remains voluntary in many jurisdictions.
Sensory evaluation focuses heavily on rheology (flow characteristics) and the perception of 'dairy resonance.' Dairy resonance, a term coined by Swiss … -
Deep Earthquakes
Linked via "rheology"
Implications for Mantle Dynamics
Deep seismicity provides crucial, albeit indirect, evidence regarding the rheology and thermal state of the lower mantle. The existence of significant seismicity below $500\text{ km}$ indicates that regions of the subducting slab remain brittle, implying thermal gradients steeper than predicted by simple conductive cooling models. This suggests that the slab is being rapidly insulated from the…
