To the casual eye, a memory foam mattress would appear to have no relationship to the behavior of cells and tissues. But an innovative study carried out at the Centro de Investigaciones ...

For centuries, doctors have used their hands as essential diagnostic tools - exploring joints and palpating abdomens to assess a patient's health. Often a cancer will reveal itself as a lump or ...

A research paper by scientists at the Hebei University of Technology and Shenzhen University developed an on-chip viscoelasticity sensor for biological fluids. The new research paper, published on Jan ...

Viscoelastic compounds show time-dependent elongation under a constant load, a characteristic known as creep. They act like liquids under this type of strain, but recover partially once the strain is ...

The study of nonlinear elasticity and viscoelasticity occupies a pivotal role in continuum mechanics, providing essential frameworks to describe materials undergoing large deformations and ...

Fundamental aspects of polymer rheology, including the theory of linear viscoelasticity, measurement of fundamental flow properties, constitutive equations, the kinetic- molecular theories of ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...

The problem characterizing nonageing linear isothermal quasi-static isotropic compressible solid viscoelasticity in the time interval [ 0, T] is described. This is essentially a Volterra equation of ...

Nanoscopically confined polymer films are known to exhibit substantially depressed glass transition temperatures ( $T_{\text{g}}$ 's) as compared to the corresponding ...
