Active Viscoelasticity of Odd Materials

Linear viscoelasticity of soft glassy materials.

Owing to lack of time translational invariance, aging soft glassy materials do not obey fundamental principles of linear viscoelasticity. We show that by transforming the linear viscoelastic framework from a real time domain into an effective time domain, wherein the material clock is readjusted to account for evolution of relaxation time, the soft glassy materials obey effective time translati...

Experimental Micromechanics and Viscoelasticity of Biological and Bio-protective Materials

The properties of composite materials including those of biological origin depends very much upon structure. We consider here viscoelastic properties in which the stiffness depends on time or frequency, and microelastic properties in which there is dependence of stress upon spatial gradients of strain. The complex structural hierarchy of composite materials, particularly biological ones, gives ...

Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials Based on Linear Viscoelasticity

Viscoelasticity of biological materials - measurement and practical impact on biomedicine.

Mechanical behavior of biological structures under dynamic loading generally depends on elastic as well as viscous properties of biological materials. The significance of "viscous" parameters in real situations remains to be elucidated. Behavior of rheological models consisting of a combination of inertial body and two Voigt's bodies were described mathematically with respect to inverse problem...

[Viscoelastic behavior of alginate impression materials. Part 1. Linear viscoelasticity].

For taking accurate impressions, many material characteristics of the impression materials must be well understood. It is especially important to analyze the viscoelastic behavior of the impression materials. In our study, seven commercial alginate impression materials were used, and their linear viscoelasticity was measured using a creep meter (RE-3305, Yamaden Co.). The measurement condition ...
