Surface Tension and Creep

Tension and creep phenomena in peripheral nerve.

Tension introduced into peripheral nerves during their surgical repair may reduce the success of this procedure. Two mechanical factors are important; the tension required to effect a repair, and the rate at which this tension changes after surgery. These two factors have been investigated in the rat sciatic nerve. The results show an increasing resistance to elongation of the nerves with incre...

MODELING SURFACE TENSION AND WALL ADHESION IN MOLD FILLING PROCESS

Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...

Density and Temperature Dependencies of Liquid Surface Tension

In this paper the density and temperature dependencies of surface tension are investigated. Using the Lennard-Jones (12,6), as an effective pair interaction potential, a linear expression is derived for isotherms of g /r2  versus r2 for some normal and ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)</...

Asymmetrical membranes and surface tension.

The (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift of phosphatidic acid in a membrane is sensitive to the lipid head group packing and can report qualitatively on membrane lateral compression near the aqueous interface. We have used high-resolution (31)P-nuclear magnetic resonance to evaluate the lateral compression on each side of asymmetrical lipid vesicles. When monooleoylphosphatidylcholin...
