Abstract One of the most extensively utilized structural control devices is viscoelastic damper (VD), and significant study has gone into enhancing their efficiency in structures. The mechanical response a VD supplied with silicone rubber as material (SRD) under various loading conditions investigated this research. A conventional SRD, which made up dual layers mounted between three steel plate...

Abstract We show that the detachment of a flat punch from viscoelastic substrate has relatively simple behaviour, framed between Kendall’s elastic solution at relaxed modulus and instantaneous modulus, cohesive strength limit. find hardly any dependence pull-off force on details loading process, including maximum indentation preload rate, resulting much simpler than case spherical punch. Pull-o...

Nonlinear mechanical properties play an important role in numerous biological functions, for instance the locomotion strategy used by terrestrial gastropods. We discuss the progress made toward bioinspired snail-like locomotion and the pursuit of an engineered fluid that imitates the nonlinear viscoelastic properties of native gastropod pedal mucus. The rheological behavior of native pedal mucu...

Viscoelasticity is a complex yet important phenomenon that drives material response at different scales of time and space. Burgeoning interest in nanoscale dynamic material mechanics has driven, and been driven by two key techniques: instrumented nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy. This review provides an overview of fundamental principles in nanoindentation, and compares and contrasts...

The utilization of simulation procedures is gaining increasing attention in the product development extrusion blow molded parts. However, some steps, like shrinkage and warpage, are still associated with uncertainties. reason for this on one hand a lack standardized interfaces transfer data between different tools, other complex time-, temperature- process-dependent material behavior used semi ...

Rheologically complex materials are described by function-valued properties with dependence on a timescale (linear viscoelasticity), input amplitude (nonlinear material behavior), or more generally both (nonlinear viscoelasticity). This complexity presents a difficulty when trying to utilize these material systems in engineering designs. Here, we focus on linear viscoelasticity and a methodolog...
