| contents | We study creep flow and yielding of particulate depletion gels under constant shear stress, combining data on different length and time scales. We characterise the breakage of meso-scale strands in the gel. Breakage events are distributed homogeneously in space, corresponding to macroscopically ductile flow. At the microscale, a spatio-temporal analysis of structural and mechanical metrics connects properties of strands before and after they fail, indicating that strand breakage is statistically predictable. Using results from different scales, we discuss the interplay between creeping and aging dynamics, and we demonstrate a viscosity bifurcation. |
