Shear modulus of old timber [PDF]
Interest in both the time effect on the timber mechanical properties and the reuse of old solid timbers has prompted many research works since the 1970s, mainly focusing on evaluating bending strength (MOR) and stiffness (MOE).

Static shear modulus of electrorheological fluids [PDF]
We report measurements of the static shear modulus of electrorheological (ER) fluids consisting of water-wetted silica microspheres in silicone oil. A shear-annealing method, using creep-recovery (CR) cycles under an external electric field, is used to enhance ER properties of the fluid.

Prediction models and associated uncertainty for dynamic shear modulus and damping ratio of Beijing silty clay [PDF]
Based on experimental data of normalized shear modulus and damping ratio from undisturbed silty clay within 120 m depth in the Beijing area, the Davidenkov backbone curve is used to characterize the normalized shear modulus curve, and the damping ratio ...

The Shear Modulus of Liquids [PDF]
According to the interstitialcy model of condensed matter states, liquids are crystals containing a few percent of self-interstitials in thermal equilibrium. Glasses are frozen liquids. The model is expressed in terms of the properties of the shear modulus, which decreases exponentially with the interstitial concentration and temperature in the liquid ...

Estimation of the shear modulus of unsaturated soils using the capillary model [PDF]
The shear modulus is a fundamental parameter for evaluating soil deformation and stiffness. It is influenced by various factors, including void ratio, confining pressure, soil type, and soil suction (or degree of saturation).

The human Zona-Pellucida shear modulus before and after fertilization and its implications in IVF embryo selection [PDF]
Previous 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

Hyperelastic models for the human zona pellucida and their implications on shear modulus estimation in the clinical practice [PDF]
It has long been speculated that the mechanical properties of the human oocyte can be an indicator for oocyte viability. Recent studies have demonstrated that embryo implantation rates, following Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedures, may ...

Determination of Constrained Modulus of Granular Soil from In Situ Tests—Part 1 Analyses
Assessing the constrained modulus is a critical step in calculating settlements in granular soils. This paper describes a novel concept of how the constrained modulus can be derived from seismic tests. The advantages and limitations of seismic laboratory
