Isothermal viscoelasticity and energy [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 Within the scope of the linear viscoelasticity theory, the change in the inner energy of a viscoelastic body is induced either by heat exchange or by a work performance.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Using a pattern-based homogenization scheme for modeling the linear viscoelasticity of nano-reinforced polymers with an interphase [PDF]
, 2014 The self-consistent model based on morphological representative patterns is applied to the realistic case of the linear viscoelasticity of polymers reinforced by elastic nano-particles coated with a viscoelastic interphase.

Optimization of the Production of Rubber Compounds Using Mathematical Models
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Rubber compounds were mixed in a batch internal mixer, and symbolic regression was used to derive mathematical models linking recipe and process parameters to ram path, torque, and mixing quality (incorporation, dispersion, distribution). Subsequent optimization with evolutionary algorithms identified operating conditions that reduce specific energy ...

Understanding viscoelasticity: an introduction to rheology
, 2017 This book presents an introduction to viscoelasticity, in particular, to the theories of dilute polymer solutions and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. These theories are important, not just because they apply to

Viscoelasticity of ECM and cells—origin, measurement and correlation
Mechanobiology in MedicineThe extracellular matrix (ECM) and cells are crucial components of natural tissue microenvironments, and they both demonstrate dynamic mechanical properties, particularly viscoelastic behaviors, when exposed to external stress or strain over time.
