Application of Viscoelastic Transformations to Rheological Analysis of Human Biological Fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Controlled-stress rheology is used to investigate the viscoelastic parameters of human biological fluids and simulants. These fluids include human airway secretions (mucus), and a simulant of human meconium, specifically a vegetable-based food product. In light of volume restrictions of viable specimens, analyses are performed on <30 μL of material. This small volume of sample makes it difficult to collect data in oscillation mode as inertial effects often predominate. Hence, Polymer Transformation Software is used to generate oscillation data from collected creep data. The generated spectra are shown to be in good agreement with data collected directly.

Influences of magnetic field in viscoelastic fluid
This communication influences on magnetohydrodynamic flow of viscoelastic fluid with magnetic field induced by oscillating plate. General solutions have been found out for velocity and shear stress profiles using mathematical transformations (Integral transforms). The governing partial differential equations have been solved analytically under boundary conditions u(0,t)=A_0 H(t)sinΩt and u(0,t)...
متن کاملProbing linear and nonlinear microrheology of viscoelastic fluids
Bulk rheological properties of viscoelastic fluids have been extensively studied in macroscopic shearing geometries. However, little is known when an active microscopic probe is used to locally perturb them far from the linear-response regime. Using a colloidal particle dragged periodically by scanning optical tweezers through a viscoelastic fluid, we investigate both, its linear and nonlinear ...
متن کاملRheological Response and Validity of Viscoelastic Model Through Propagation of Harmonic Wave in Non-Homogeneous Viscoelastic Rods
This study is concerned to check the validity and applicability of a five parameter viscoelastic model for harmonic wave propagating in the non-homogeneous viscoelastic rods of varying density. The constitutive relation for five parameter model is first developed and validity of these relations is checked. The non-homogeneous viscoelastic rods are assumed to be initially unstressed and at rest....

متن کاملEngineering the Performance of Biomaterials through Understanding and Optimisation of Their Viscoelastic Properties
Biomaterials are materials that are employed to replace or enhance a bodily function and, as such, are commonly used in modern medicine. The performance of these systems is directly related to their viscoelastic properties. This paper provides an overview of the importance of such properties and how they may be manipulated to achieve optimal performance. INTRODUCTION In recent years medicine ha...
