Abstract Specimens cut from a 40 × 14 nylon cord aircraft tire were subjected to cyclic strain tests to measure the viscoelastic behavior. Spectral analysis was used to quantify nonlinearity in the stress response. Preliminary studies were made to ascertain the effects of specimen length and width on the test results. A bolted end constraint was developed to uniformly distribute the imposed strain through the thickness of the multiply carcass specimens. Test results show the effects of temperature, frequency, and strain level on the viscoelastic properties. Results are generally in agreement with earlier findings made using tubular test specimens.

Abstract In earlier communications, we defined abrasion, especially of tires, as a thermal-oxidative process caused at high velocity of mechanical rupture. Other authors (e.g., Schallamach, Boggs, Zapp etc.), with theoretical and experimental tests, prove the importance of viscoelastic behavior as a characteristic property for abrasion. The results of experiments on six elastomers (NR, IR, BR, SBR, IIR, and EPT) compared in tire tread compounds are communicated and discussed in the present work. Tensile strength was determined over a temperature range of 20° to 140° C at deformation speeds of 10 to 20,000 % elongation per second. Forced, non-resonant vibrations were used to determine viscoelastic properties, e.g., resilience, storage modulus, and loss modulus. As abrasion is a consequence of frictional processes, coefficients of friction, dependent on temperature, were measured on dry, wet, and frosty asphalt/fine concrete track. The apparatus is briefly described. From these test results, an empirical relation established between abrasion, friction, viscoelastic properties, tensile strength at high speed and temperature allows one to predetermine the abrasion behavior of a vulcanizate in the laboratory.

Abstract Concentrated sodium lignosulfonate (NaLS) solutions have wide industrial applications. Therefore, the viscoelastic properties of NaLS in concentrations of 55%–63% have been investigated between 5°C and 55°C by means of a dynamic rheological technique, namely, the oscillatory rheological experiments were conducted in a rheometer in the small amplitude oscillatory mode. All solutions showed “shear-thinning” behavior over frequency. The complex viscosity (η*) increased and the loss tangent (tanδ) decreased with increasing concentrations. Both the storage modulus (G′) and the loss modulus (G″) increased with increasing frequencies and concentrations. The change in viscoelastic behavior was probably caused by stronger aggregation effects. However, the effects of temperature on the viscoelastic properties are more complex. For 60% NaLS, G′, G″, and η* decreased, but tanδ increased with increasing temperatures. When the temperature exceeded 20°C, G′, G″, and η* increased, but tanδ decreased, and the relaxation times were increased as a function of temperature. The change in viscoelasticity as a function of temperature may also be related to intermolecular aggregation and the swelling of aggregates. The conductivity experiments indicated that the formation of a greater strength of network structures at higher levels of concentrations between 55% and 63% and temperatures between 20°C and 55°C was probably responsible for elasticity enhancement.

This paper presents the development of a finite element model for the cornea as a first step towards a physiologically based model to study the role of cornea and sclera biomechanics in glaucoma. We developed a finite-deformation anisotropic constitutive model of the cornea that considers the effects of the fibrilar microstructure on the viscoelastic stress response. The model was base on the hypothesis that the dominant mechanism for the tensile viscoelastic behavior of the cornea is the viscoelastic stretching of the collagen lamellae. This approach yielded two main results. First, the viscoelastic properties of the cornea are derivable directly from the viscoelastic properties of the collagen fibrils and proteoglycan matrix. Second, the anisotropy in the stress response and creep response are determined solely by the arrangement collagen lamellae, which depends on orientation and material position. This allows the model parameters that determines anisotropy to be obtained from microstructural characterizations, such as the X-ray diffraction experiments of Meek and coworkers [1], while the model parameters that determines viscoelasticity to be determined from mechanical experiments. For this initial work, the viscoelastic parameters were fitted to the uniaxial tensile strip tests [2] and inflation tests with digital image correlation (DIC) [3] of bovine cornea performed by our group. Since microstructural characterizations are not available for bovine cornea, we used the data of Aghamohammadzadeh et. al. [1] for the human cornea.

This research paper reviews the test results involving viscoelastic properties of cellular structure models made with the PolyJet Matrix—PJM additive technology. The designed test specimens were of complex cellular structure and made of three various photo-curable polymer resin types. Materials were selected taking into account the so-called “soft” and “tough” material groups. Compressive stress relaxation tests were conducted in accordance with the recommendations of standard ISO 3384, and the impact of the geometric structure shape and material selection on viscoelastic properties, as well as the most favorable geometric variants of the tested cellular structure models were determined. Mathematica and Origin software was used to conduct a statistical analysis of the test results and determine five-parameter functions approximating relaxation curves. The most favorable rheological was adopted and its mean parameters determined, which enables to match both printed model materials and their geometry in the future, to make a component with a specific rheological response. Furthermore, the test results indicated that there was a possibility of modelling cellular structures within the PJM technology, using support material as well.

Today, materials designed for bone regeneration are requested to be degradable and resorbable, bioactive, porous, and osteoconductive, as well as to be an active player in the bone-remodeling process. Multiphasic silica/collagen Xerogels were shown, earlier, to meet these requirements. The aim of the present study was to use these excellent material properties of silica/collagen Xerogels and to process them by additive manufacturing, in this case 3D plotting, to generate implants matching patient specific shapes of fractures or lesions. The concept is to have Xerogel granules as active major components embedded, to a large proportion, in a matrix that binds the granules in the scaffold. By using viscoelastic alginate as matrix, pastes of Xerogel granules were processed via 3D plotting. Moreover, alginate concentration was shown to be the key to a high content of irregularly shaped Xerogel granules embedded in a minimum of matrix phase. Both the alginate matrix and Xerogel granules were also shown to influence viscoelastic behavior of the paste, as well as the dimensionally stability of the scaffolds. In conclusion, 3D plotting of Xerogel granules was successfully established by using viscoelastic properties of alginate as matrix phase.

Compression test results of our research on Al3Ti-base alloys are reported. It is evident that the specimen length-to-width ratio we used for compression testing can significantly reflect the difference in ductility of different alloys. Thus the tests fulfilled the aim of our present research.

Central third bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autografts are commonly used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. Following surgery, complications arise at the donor site, including extension deficits and anterior knee pain [1]. These complications are partially caused by inadequate healing of the patellar tendon (PT) as well as adhesions in the anterior interval. Recent clinical data have suggested these are contributing factors in the early development of osteoarthrosis following ACL reconstruction [2]. Thus, it is necessary to understand the changes in mechanical and viscoelastic behavior in the healing PT.

In this paper, a symmetrically coated damping structure for entangled metallic wire materials (EMWM) of pipelines was designed to reduce the vibration of high temperature (300 °C) pipeline. A series of energy dissipation tests were carried out on the symmetrically coated damping structure at 20–300 °C. Based on the energy dissipation test results, the hysteresis loop was drawn. The effects of temperature, vibration amplitude, frequency, and density of EMWM on the energy dissipation characteristics of coated damping structures were investigated. A nonlinear energy dissipation model of the symmetrically coated damping structure with temperature parameters was established through the accurate decomposition of the hysteresis loop. The parameters of the nonlinear model were identified by the least square method. The energy dissipation test results show that the symmetrically coated damping structure for EMWM of pipelines had excellent and stable damping properties, and the established model could well describe the changing law of the restoring force and displacement of the symmetrically coated damping structure with amplitude, frequency, density, and ambient temperature. It is possible to reduce the vibration of pipelines in a wider temperature range by replacing different metal wires.

Red kidney bean (RKB) flour is a nutrient-rich ingredient with potential use in bakery products. The objective of this study was to investigate the viscoelastic properties and key quality parameters of a functional RKB flour in gluten-free cupcakes with different rice flour levels. A 10 g model batter was developed for analyzing the viscoelastic properties of RKB with rice incorporation, in a formula containing oil, liquid eggs, and water. Rice flour was added at five levels 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 25% (w/w, g rice flour/100 g RKB flour). Rice flour increased RKB batter consistency, solid- and liquid-like viscoelastic behavior and revealed a heterogeneous structure, based on the sweep frequency test. Rice flour at the 25% level increased the shear modulus and activation energy of gelatinization, compared to 0% rice flour addition. Rice flour levels in the RKB batter decreased the inflection gelation temperature from 63 to 56 °C. In addition, the texture of RKB cupcakes with 25% rice flour were 46% softer, compared to the control. The scores from all sensory attributes of cupcakes increased with the addition of rice flour. Rice flour addition improved solid- and liquid-like behavior of the RKB batter and improved the cupcake’s macro-structural characteristics. Overall, 25% rice flour addition performed better than the lower levels. This study confirmed the potential of RKB as a functional ingredient and its improvement in cupcake application with the addition of rice flour.
