[Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 238303 (2007)] have noted a property of ``soft solids'' under oscillatory shear, the so-called strain-rate frequency superposition. We extend this study to the case of soft solids under large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS). We show results from LAOS studies in a mono-disperse hydrogel suspension, an aqueous gel, and a biopolymer suspension and show that constant strain-rate frequency sweep measurements with soft solids can be superimposed onto master curves for higher harmonic moduli with the same shift factors as for the linear viscoelastic moduli. We show that the behavior of higher harmonic moduli at low frequencies in constant strain- rate frequency sweep measurements is similar to that at large strain amplitude in strain- amplitude sweep tests. We show surface plots of the harmonic moduli and the energy dissipation rate per unit volume in LAOS for soft solids and show experimentally that the energy dissipated per unit volume depends on the first harmonic loss modulus alone, in both the linear and the nonlinear viscoelastic regime.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.352</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jijo, V.

We combine turbidimetry with optical microscopy, NMR, and SAXS to follow the volume transition of the PNIPAM and the H(1)-isotropic transition of the surfactant/water system. Nonionic surfactants such as C(12)E(9) are known to interact weakly with PNIPAM. Accordingly, we show that there is only a small change in the volume transition temperature for the PNIPAM in isotropic micellar solutions of C(12)E(9), even for relatively high concentrations of C(12)E(9). Interestingly, once the surfactant forms an H(1) phase, there is a dramatic decrease in the coil globule transition onset temperature. We believe that this behavior results from a competition between C(12)E(9) in the H(1) phase, and PNIPAM to associate with water. When PNIPAM in the H(1) phase is cooled to low enough temperatures so as to be in the coil state, it locally disturbs the hexagonal phase ordering. Thus, we show that for PNIPAM in a weakly interacting surfactant matrix, it is the phase behavior of the matrix rather than the matrix chemistry that governs the coil globule transition. Finally, we show that in a PNIPAM copolymer with a higher LCST we observe an interesting sequence of transitions in the surfactant phase: on cooling from a high temperature free-blowing turbid globular state (similar to 75 degrees C), we enter a free-flowing translucent coil phase (similar to 47 degrees C), then a turbid gel (similar to 25 degrees C) where the copolymer is collapsed in the HI phase, and finally a low-temperature clear gel (similar to 5 degrees C) where the copolymer is in the expanded coil state.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.837</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamble, Samruddhi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandey, Anurag</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rastogi, Sanjay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lele, Ashish K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ascertaining universal features of yielding of soft materials</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheologica Acta</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colloidal suspensions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Entangled melts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gels</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glasses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microgels</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yielding</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10-12</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">52</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">859-865</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Many metastable complex fluids, when subjected to oscillatory shear flow of increasing strain amplitude at constant frequency, are known to show a characteristic nonlinear rheological response which consists of a monotonic decrease in the elastic modulus and a nonmonotonic change in the loss modulus. In particular, the loss modulus increases from its low strain value, crosses the elastic modulus, and then decreases with further increase in the strain amplitude. Miyazaki et al. (Europhys Lett 75:915-921, 2006) proposed a qualitative argument to explain the origin of the nonmonotonic nature of the loss modulus and suggested that in fact this response could be universal to all complex fluids if they are probed in a certain frequency window in which the fluid is dominantly elastic in the small strain limit. In this letter, we confirm their hypothesis by showing that a wide variety of complex fluids, irrespective of their thermodynamic state under quiescent conditions, indeed show the aforementioned characteristic nonlinear response. We also show that the maximum relative dissipation during yielding occurs when the imposed frequency resonates with the characteristic beta relaxation frequency of the fluid.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10-12</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.781
