Viscoelastic Strip

چکیده
Associate Professor, Graduate Aeronautical laboratories, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif. The tip velocity of a crack propagating through a vi scoelastic material depends on geometry, apptied toad and its history , and material properties. A consideration of the work done by the unloading tractions at the crack tip shows that, f or a large crack propagating throitgh an infini tely long strip under constant lateral strain, the rate of propagation can be calrnlated from a knowledge of the i ntri nsic fracture energy (a material constant), the material creep compliance, and an additional size parameter. This parameter vanishes from the analysis if the material is elastic, and the familiar instability criterion is obtained in this case. Comparison with experimental data i s provided and the consequences of step loadings are examined.

متن کاملTransport of a 1D viscoelastic actin-myosin strip of gel as a model of a crawling cell.
Cell crawling is an important biological phenomenon because it underlies coordinated cell movement in morphogenesis, cancer and wound healing. This phenomenon is based on protrusion at the cell's leading edge, retraction at the rear, contraction and graded adhesion powered by the dynamics of actin and myosin protein networks. A few one-dimensional models successfully explain an anteroposterior ...

We consider a fourth-order eigenvalue problem on a semi-infinite strip which arises in the study of viscoelastic shear flow. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are computed by a spectral method involving Laguerre functions and Legendre polynomials.
متن کاملExperiments and viscoelastic analysis of peel test with patterned strips for applications to transfer printing
Transfer printing is an exceptionally sophisticated approach to assembly and micro-/ nanofabrication that relies on a soft, elastomeric ‘stamp’ to transfer solid, micro-/ nanoscale materials or device components from one substrate to another, in a large-scale, parallel fashion. The most critical control parameter in transfer printing is the strength of adhesion between the stamp and materials/d...
متن کاملMechanical and structural correlates of canine pericardium.
We have assessed viscoelastic properties of pericardium within the physiological range of stresses and related mechanical behavior to fiber direction as defined by scanning electron microscopy. Stiffness, stress relaxation, and creep were measured in samples taken from the anterior surface of 14 canine pericardia. Stress-strain relations generally were not exponential; stiffness at a stress of ...
