Polymers are often employed in engineering designs because of their ability to damp out shock and vibration. A material’s ability to elastically store energy is characterized by the storage modulus (E ...

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this article is to choose among advanced rheological models used in the French rational design, one that best represents the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt mixtures ...

σ is the maximum stress expressed in MPa and ε is the maximum strain expressed in m/m. This modulus is called “dynamic modulus” in the Anglo-Saxon system (AASHTO TP 62-07, [3], ASTM D 3497-79, [4]) ...

Abstract: The complex shear modulus of fresh and thermally damaged porcine liver has been measured, in vitro, using an ultrasonic shear wave imaging technique. Measurements were compared to two ...

Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Chemistry and Physics, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, and Graduate School, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130022, P. R. China Article Views are the ...

Black curves are a plot of phase angle (δ) vs complex modulus (G*), containing no reference to temperature or frequency. Consequently, they are very easy to produce. Individual data points from the ...

Agarose hydrogels are rapidly becoming a popular option for an implantable scaffold material due to their biocompatibility, native tissue-like viscoelastic mechanical properties and ease of casting ...
