Abstract
Correction for ‘Time-dependent shear rate inhomogeneities and shear bands in a thixotropic yield-stress fluid under transient shear’ by Yufei Wei et al., Soft Matter, 2019, 15, 7956–7967, DOI: 10.1039/C9SM00902G.
The authors regret the following errors in the ‘Constitutive modeling’ section of the original article. The value given for the parameter K in eqn (8) is incorrect; this should be 14 × 10−3. Additionally, under the numerical simulation subsection, the expression for initial perturbation δA(y,t = 0) should be corrected to max[a1

sin(ω1y), 0] to ensure A ≥ 0 and δλ(y,t = 0) should equal min[a2sin(ω2y), 0] to ensure λ ≤ 1. Furthermore, the values of ω1 and ω2 are incorrect and should be 50π/H. These changes do not affect the results and conclusions of this work.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
