In this paper, the dynamic response of a viscoelastic beam subjected to a moving distributed load has been studied. The viscoelastic properties of the beam have been considered as linear standard model in shear and incompressible in bulk. The stress components have been separated to the shear and dilatation components and as a result the governing equations in viscoelastic form has been obtaine...

Background: Laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). The tensile strength of radiated tissue by LLLT is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation.Objective: In this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic ti...

one of the most important factors that affect tire friction is surface roughness, which determines the size of the real contact area, real pressure distribution on the contact interface, and scales of mechanical engagement between viscoelastic rubber and a rough substrate. the need to predict coefficient of friction (cof) for rubber on rough surfaces for applications such as traction of tires o...

This study is concerned to check the validity and applicability of a five parameter viscoelastic model for harmonic wave propagating in the non-homogeneous viscoelastic rods of varying density. The constitutive relation for five parameter model is first developed and validity of these relations is checked. The non-homogeneous viscoelastic rods are assumed to be initially unstressed and at rest....

"In this paper we study the process of bilateral contact with adhesion and friction between a piezoelectric body an insulator obstacle, socalled foundation. The material's behavior is assumed to be electro-viscoelastic- viscoplastic; quasistatic, modeled by general non-local law adhesion. bonding field on surface. We derive variational formulation for problem then, under smallness assumption co...

The purpose of this paper is to analysis the viscoelastic models under dynamic loading. A five-parameter model is chosen for study exhibits elastic, viscous, and retarded elastic response to shearing stress. The viscoelastic specimen is chosen which closely approximates the actual behavior of a polymer. The module of elasticity and viscosity coefficients are assumed to be space dependent i.e. f...

statement of problem: biomechanics of the human dentition is inherently complex. purpose: the aim of this study is to investigate, in vitro, the creep and the recovery of dentin under static uniaxial compressive stress conditions. materials and methods: specimens of cylindrical morphology were prepared from recently extracted non-carious lower molar teeth, such that the average tubule orientati...

Conventional seismic rehabilitation methods may not be suitable for some buildings owing to their high cost and time-consuming foundation work. In recent years, viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) have been widely used in many mid- and high-rise buildings. This study introduces a viscoelastic passive control system called rotary rubber braced damper (RRBD). The RRBD is an economical, lightweight, and e...

the rheological properties of four different kuwaiti crude oils in the presence of polyacrylamide (paa) were investigated. paa was varied at three different concentrations of 25, 50, and 75 ppm to study the viscoelastic properties in the untreated samples. four different temperatures (25, 30, 35, and 40 °c) were used to evaluate different viscoelastic parameters of the treated and untreated kuw...
