Holographic screening method for microelastic solids
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental method is presented for the rapid evaluation of structured solids with microelastic degrees of freedom associated with the microstructure. By contrast with earlier methods based on size effect studies, the present method makes use of a single specimen subjected to holographic interferometry. Results are presented for polymethyl methacrylate and for a dense polyurethane foam, which in previous studies were demonstrated to behave, respectively, as classically elastic and Cosserat solids.

Measuring the deposited energy from a non-ionizing laser beam in water by digital holographic interferometry
Digital Holographic interferometry is a powerful and widely used optical technique for accurate measurement of variations in physical quantities such as density, refractive index, and etc. In this study, an experimental digital holographic interferometry setup was designed and used to measure the amount of energy changes induced by absorption of radiation from a non-ionizing infrared laser beam...
متن کاملExperimental Micromechanics and Viscoelasticity of Biological and Bio-protective Materials
The properties of composite materials including those of biological origin depends very much upon structure. We consider here viscoelastic properties in which the stiffness depends on time or frequency, and microelastic properties in which there is dependence of stress upon spatial gradients of strain. The complex structural hierarchy of composite materials, particularly biological ones, gives ...

Establishing early warning systems for anthrax attacks is crucial in biodefense. Despite numerous studies for decades, the limited sensitivity of conventional biochemical methods essentially requires preprocessing steps and thus has limitations to be used in realistic settings of biological warfare. We present an optical method for rapid and label-free screening of Bacillus anthracis spores thr...

Hartree-Fock (HF) method is a useful first-step tool for investigating electronic structure and total energy of atoms and molecules: it gives very good electron density, reasonably accurate total energy, and molecular orbitals and orbital energies that are helpful for understanding the electronic structure. The HF method is, however, not commonly applied to solids nowadays, since electronic scr...

BACKGROUND Screening new lignocellulosic biomass pretreatments and advanced enzyme systems at process relevant conditions is a key factor in the development of economically viable lignocellulosic ethanol. Shake flasks, the reaction vessel commonly used for screening enzymatic saccharifications of cellulosic biomass, do not provide adequate mixing at high-solids concentrations when shaking is no...
