Vibration study of dielectric elastomer conical structure based on fractional viscoelasticity. [PDF]
Sci RepDielectric elastomer (DE) is intelligent soft material which is widely used in actuator and energy harvesting fields such as softs robots and wave energy harvesting. Viscoelasticity of DE is seldom investigated by the fractional derivative modeling which

Active Viscoelasticity of Sarcomeres [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018 The perturbation response of muscle is important for the versatile, stable and agile control capabilities of animals. Muscle resists being stretched by developing forces in the passive tissues and in the active crossbridges.

Displacement MMG-based estimation of dynamic muscle viscoelasticity in the quadriceps during passive pedaling. [PDF]
Sci RepWe explore the correlation between muscle viscoelasticity and displacement mechanomyography (DMMG) during passive joint movement. Current methods for assessing muscle viscoelasticity (which is essential for rehabilitation and sports conditioning) are ...

Need for Speed: The Importance of Physiological Strain Rates in Determining Myocardial Stiffness
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The heart is viscoelastic, meaning its compliance is inversely proportional to the speed at which it stretches. During diastolic filling, the left ventricle rapidly expands at rates where viscoelastic forces impact ventricular compliance.

An On-Chip Viscoelasticity Sensor for Biological Fluids
Cyborg and Bionic Systems, 2023 There are so many non-Newtonian fluids in our daily life, such as milk, blood, cytoplasm, and mucus, most of which are viscoelastic heterogeneous liquid containing cells, inorganic ion, metabolites, and hormones.

Viscoelastic Networks: Forming Cells and Tissues
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 Spatiotemporal changes in viscoelasticity are a key component of the morphogenesis of living systems. Experimental and theoretical findings suggest that cellular- and tissue-scale viscoelasticity can be understood as a collective property emerging from ...
