1 Viscoplastic Fluids: From Theory to Application Parameter identification: An application of inverse analysis to cement-based suspensions Célimène Anglade Aurélie Papon, Michel Mouret UPS-LMDC-INSA France 1

2 Why are we interested in identification? To link rheological parameters to cementitious material design To optimize the design regarding handling and placing context 2

3 How to observe the behavior of cementitious materials? Rheometer has to avoid artefacts segregation, migration, sedimentation Complex velocity field Axial component Circular flow Fine particle concentration [CRPP, Bordeaux] Specific impeller Helical ribbon or Anchor [Franshahi and al. 05] LMDC equipped with RheoCAD 3

4 How to process the experimental data? Rheometer returns torques vs rotational speeds Only qualitative information, velocity and stress fields unknown For quantitative studies: Computation of the rheocad flow with COMSOL Coupled with an identification by means of inverse analysis 4 Strong hypotheses for simple computation

5 Cementitious materials: Viscoplastic fluids Bingham law Shear-thinning Shear-thickening τ 0 5 Herschel-Bulkley τ = τ 0 + Kγ n for τ τ 0 γ =0 for τ < τ 0 [Yahia and al., 01], [Papo, 88] Parameter meaning: τ 0 : residual structure n: shear-thinning/thickening feature K: slope Order of magnitude for cement pastes: Interval Unit n [ ] τ 0 [5 155] Pa K [5 105] Pa. s n [Cyr, Ph.D, 99]
