Rheological and Thermal Properties of Icy Materials
Laboratory measurements of physical properties of planetary ices generate information for dynamical models of tectonically active icy bodies in the outer solar system. We review the methods for measuring both flow properties and thermal properties of icy planetary materials in the laboratory, and describe physical theories that are essential for intelligent extrapolation of data from laboratory...
متن کاملViscoelastic Properties of Biological Materials
Almost all of biological tissues are viscoelastic and their viscoelastic mechanical properties are important in their characteristic functions. This is because constituents of tissues cells, extracellular matrices, structural proteins, and so on are viscoelastic. Even hard tissues have been shown to be viscoelastic. For long, main sample material for investigating the viscoelasticity has be...
متن کاملRheological Properties of Living Materials. From Cells to Tissues
In this paper, we review the role of the rheological properties at the cellular and macroscopic scale. At the cellular scale, the different components of the cell are described, and comparisons with other similar systems are made in order to state what kind of rheological properties and what constitutive equations can be expected. This is based on expertise collected over many years, dealing wi...
متن کاملFlow of electro-rheological materials
An electro-rheological fluid is a material in which a particulate solid is suspended in an electrically non-conducting fluid such as oil. On the application of an electric field, the viscosity and other material properties undergo dramatic and significant changes. In this paper, the particulate imbedded fluid is considered as a homogeneous continuum. I t is assumed that the Cauchy stress depend...
متن کاملMechanical and Microstructural Properties of Biological Materials
Biological materials, such as isolated protein networks, tissues and living cells are extremely heterogeneous and contain structures on length scales from nanometers to hundreds of microns. Their complex geometries and sensitivity to environmental conditions make traditional measurements of structure and mechanics difficult, challenging experimenters to develop new techniques. In this work, we ...
