Abstract
The effects of viscosity on the mechanical response of a liquid bridge are investigated in the case of small amounts of liquid axially strained between two moving spheres. An experimental setup allows the measurement of capillary and viscous forces exerted on the spheres as a function of the spheres separation distance and the spheres velocity. The experimental results are found to be accurately described over a large range in spheres velocity and liquid viscosity by a simple closed-form expression. In addition, the bridge rupture distance is found to increase like the square root of the separation velocity. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
