| الوصف: | We investigate the link between the geometric environment of particles, the local deformations of the solvent, and the bulk effective viscosity in non-Brownian suspensions. First, we discuss the caging of particles by their neighbors,and especially the caging of small particles by large ones in bidisperse suspensions.We develop a model that attributes an effective volume to particles depending on their environment, and yields the local deformations and effective viscosity. We compare this model to data from the literature, as well as to our own experiments with suspensions of non-Brownian polystyrene beads. Using dissolved polymers and their coil-stretch transition as strain probes, we measure the local deformation of the liquid and the effect of caging thereon. We obtain a linear relationship between the amplified local strain rate and the particle volume fraction, in which the critical volume fraction $\phi_\mathrm{c}$ appears as an effective volume of the particles; this relationship is found valid up into the dense regime.
