  • Nähtus, kui jõu (nihkepinge) rakendamine mingile keskkonnale kutsub esile selle viskoossuse või konsistentsi vähenemise
  • The application of a finite shear to a system after a long rest may result in a decrease of the viscosity or the consistency. If the decrease persists when the shear is discontinued, this behaviour is called work softening (or shear breakdown), whereas if the original viscosity or consistency is recovered this behaviour is called thixotropy

  • vedelike reoloogiline omadus - surve rakendamisel viskoossuse vähenemine ja selle taastumine surve kõrvaldumisel
  • rheological property of fluid where applied stress lowers viscosity which returns to normal when stress is released (compare: rheopectic)
    Good to know
    • Thixotropy refers to the decrease in viscosity of some fluid-like materials when agitated and to thicken or solidify on standing.
