Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability Our proposed studies are rather specialized; they are in ranges of parameters not previously investigated or they focus on topics for which, to our knowledge, there is no prior literature. Three such topics are: (1) application of viscous and viscoelastic potential flow to Kelvin-Helmholz instability, (2) stress induced cavitation and (3) solubil...

In this research the stress-strain curve of porous Titanium, as a common material for biomedical application, was predicted using the mechanical properties of fully solid Titanium experimental data. Modified Gurson model (Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model) was used to predict the plastic response of porous Titanium in compaction. Different values of GTN parameters were used for different i...

in order to enhance in vitro dissolution and content uniformity of poorly soluble drug glimepiride by preparing solid dispersions using modified solvent fusion method, solid dispersions of drug were prepared by modified fusion solvent method using peg 6000 and pvp k25 (as carrier). eight batches (f1-f8) were prepared by factorial design (23) by taking three factors i.e. the concentration of: dr...

The effect of surface tension (theKelvin effect) on the equilibrium radius of an aqueous solution drop at fractional relative humidity h less than unity is analyzed mathematically. Expressions for the lowest-order corrections to the equilibrium radius and radius ratio (relative to the volume-equivalent dry radius rdry) due to the Kelvin effect are presented and compared with data for solution d...

The Viscoelastic response of hydropolymers, which include gelatin phantom and glandular breast tissue, may be accurately characterized with as few as three parameters using the Kelvin-Voigt Fractional Derivative (KVFD) modeling approach. We propose to image these parameters for simulated and experimental imaging phantoms and to estimate them for normal and cancerous in-vivo breast tissues. Afte...

The generalized dynamical theory of thermo-elasticity proposed by Green and Lindsay is applied to study the propagation of harmonically time-dependent thermo-viscoelastic plane waves of assigned frequency in an infinite visco-elastic solid of Kelvin-Voigt type, when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. A more general dispersion equation is deduced to determine the effects ...

Vanadium dioxide (VO(2)) undergoes a sharp metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the vicinity of room temperature and there is great interest in exploiting this effect in novel electronic and photonic devices. We have measured the work function of vanadium dioxide thin films across the phase transition using variable temperature Kelvin force microscopy (KFM). The work function is estimated to be ...

The rapid deformation of liquid and solid materials usually results in temperature changes. This rapid deformation is considered to be a nearly adiabatic process where the heat generated during the deformation changes the temperature of the material. Early experiments showed that metals cooled down on sudden stretching and warmed up upon compression [1]. In 1805, Gough [2] observed that the tem...
