This article describes the development and validation of a linear viscoelastic model 2S2P1D for silty sand mixed with 16% asphalt emulsion. Experimental data from creep tests were employed to propose ...

Understanding and modeling the viscoelastic behavior of polymers and polymer-based materials for a wide range of quasistatic and high strain rates is of great interest for applications in which they ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...

Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ...

Many polymers also have special surface treatments or are applied in form of surface coatings and paints. Instrumented indentation has successfully been applied for various types of measurements in ...

Hysitron nanoDMA III from Bruker is the latest powerful dynamic testing method to perform nanoscale mechanical property measurements. nanoDMA III is fitted with the recently developed CMX control ...

ABSTRACT: It is commonly known that cortical bone exhibits viscoelastic-viscoplastic behavior which affects the biomechanical response when an implant is subjected to an external load. In addition, ...
