Rheology

Shear-thickening: an increase in apparent viscosity of a suspension with increasing shear rate.

In rheology, dilatancy refers to Shear-thickening: an increase in apparent viscosity of a suspension with increasing shear rate. This meaning comes from Barnes (1989) in An introduction to rheology. Here dilatancy is not the volume increase of a densely packed granular medium when sheared (Reynolds dilatancy).[1]

Unit
viscosity response
Recovery means
rheometry
Measured by
viscosity (Pa.s) vs shear rate (1/s)

Soil mechanics

The volume increase of a densely packed granular medium when sheared (Reynolds dilatancy).

In soil mechanics, dilatancy refers to The volume increase of a densely packed granular medium when sheared (Reynolds dilatancy). This meaning comes from Reynolds (1885) in The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science. Here dilatancy is not shear-thickening: an increase in apparent viscosity of a suspension with increasing shear rate.[2]

Unit
volume change
Recovery means
triaxial / shear-box testing
Measured by
volumetric strain (%)
