Abstract
Large amplitude oscillation shear (LAOS) is used to investigate the yielding and flow behavior of yield stress materials. Considering the problems in determination of the yield stress from the apparent dynamic moduli and relative harmonic intensity using Fourier Transform Rheology, we proposed a new approach based on 2D mechanical correlation spectra (2D-MCS) to quantify the yield stress. We have proved that the nonlinear synchronous self-correlation intensity as functions of stress/strain amplitude can be used to determine the yield stress unambiguously from the change of scaling exponent. The yield stresses from 2D-MCS analysis are well consistent with those from the stress ramp experiments.
