Mechanical Characterization of Spray-Dried Granules by Compression and Stress-Relaxation Technique. Analysis of Relaxation Behavior.

Effects of Temperature and Loading Characteristics on Mechanical and Stress-Relaxation Behavior of Sea Buckthorn Berries. Part 3. Relaxation Behavior

Relaxation force properties of single sea buckthorn berries under uni-axial compression were studied. Sea buckthorn berries had a time dependent behavior similar to other viscoelastic materials. The three-term Maxwell model with a maximum relative difference (MRD) of % 5 ≤ was chosen as the best fit equation to the relaxation data. For both Indian Summer and Sinensis cultivars, the firmness (as...

Creep and Stress Relaxation Behavior of Polypropylene, Metallocene-Prepared Polyethylene and their Blends

Comparison of Compressive Stress-Relaxation Behavior

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disorder found mostly in elderly people. The role 21 of mechanical behavior in the progression of OA is complex and remains unclear. The 22 stress-relaxation behavior of human articular cartilage in clinically defined osteoarthritic stages 23 may have importance in diagnosis and prognosis of OA. In this study we investigated differences 24 in the biomechani...

Improved Characterization of Soft Tissue Mechanical Properties Using a Combination of Stress Relaxation and Creep

INTRODUCTION Mechanical characterization of articular cartilage, soft tissues and gels is important for biomechanical reference data and for functional assessment of biopsied or engineered tissue. Common techniques include dynamic mechanical spectroscopy [1] and stress relaxation [2], with the latter often favored for technical simplicity. While reliable, stress relaxation measurements of carti...
