Yielding and large deviations in micellar gels: a model
Yielding and large deviations in micellar gels: a model
We present a simple model that can be used to account for the rheological behaviour observed in recent experiments on micellar gels. The model combines attachment–detachment kinetics with stretching due to shear, and shows well-defined jammed and flowing states. The large-deviation function (LDF) for the coarse-grained velocity becomes increasingly non-quadratic …
