The determination of creep and relaxation functions from a single experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The creep compliance and relaxation functions used in characterizing the mechanical response of linear viscoelastic solids are traditionally found by conducting two separate experiments. Alternatively, one of the functions may be determined from a single experiment while the other is obtained through interconversion. All direct interconversion methods, however, require the solution of an ill-posed problem. The goal of this paper is to present the theoretical framework for developing a new apparatus, based on “spring loading,” which facilitates the determination of both creep and relaxation functions from a single experiment. There is no need for interconversion. Questions of stability with respect to the measured data are discussed and a stable numerical algorithm is presented. © 2005 The Society of Rheology.

A Nano-indentation Identification Technique for Viscoelastic Constitutive Characteristics of Periodontal Ligaments
Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...

Periodontal ligament is a thin layer of soft tissue that connects root of a tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone. These ligaments play an important role in initiating tooth movement when loads are applied to teeth with orthodontic appliances. The majority of such soft tissues exhibit as viscoelastic bodies or have a time-dependent behavior. Due to the viscoelastic behavior of the periodontal ...
