Shear modulus in viscoelastic solid $^4$He [PDF]
Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2010 The complex shear modulus of solid $^4$He exhibits an anomaly in the same temperature region where torsion oscillators show a change in period. We propose that the observed stiffening of the shear modulus with decreasing temperature can be well described

The human Zona-Pellucida shear modulus before and after fertilization and its implications in IVF embryo selection [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPrevious studies have shown a clear correlation between the value of the human ZP shear modulus and implantation potential. Nevertheless, the mechanical response of the ZP changes following fertilization due to a phenomenon termed Zona hardening were not
