The dynamic viscoelasticity of bamboo kraft pulping black liquor under various temperatures (ranging from 50 to 80 °C) and solids concentrations (60 to 80 wt.%) was studied. Rotational rheometer analysis data indicated that the viscoelastic motion law with a high solids concentration in black liquor was in accordance with the Kelvin model, and black liquor with a medium concentration conformed ...

Dynamical processes involved in weak adhesion are explored through a single cycle of an optically trapped brownian colloidal silica particle detaching from, and reattaching to, a glass substrate immersed in a fluid in the presence of an externally applied force. Micro-rheology, video-microscopy, and Nyquist noise measurements reveal both stochastic and deterministic dynamics of the process. Whe...

A method for noninvasive viscoelasticity imaging of biological tissues using phase-resolved photoacoustic measurement is presented. We deduced the process of photoacoustic effect on the basis of thermal viscoelasticity theory, and established the relationship between the photoacoustic phase delay and the viscosity-elasticity ratio for soft solids. Agar phantoms with different densities and diff...

The hysteresis or internal friction in the deformation of crystalline solids stressed cyclically is studied from the viewpoint of collective dislocation dynamics. Stress-controlled simulations of a dislocation dynamics model at various loading frequencies and amplitudes are performed to study the stress-strain rate hysteresis. The hysteresis loop areas exhibit a maximum at a characteristic freq...

In this paper the numerical simulation of interaction between Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid flows and hyperelastic solids is approached. The algorithm employed a classical block-iterative scheme, in which solid mechanics problems are solved sequentially. A Galerkin finite element approach has been for approximation solid, while flow equations approximated using stabilized method based on Variati...

Rheological characterization of high-solid sludge is a fundamental requirement for optimizing the mixing and transport of high-solid sludge during anaerobic digestion in waste water treatment systems. We investigate the time evolution of physico chemical properties and rheological characteristics of high-solid digested sludge with total solids (TS) 15–20 wt.% during anaerobic digestion. A serie...

PVP-CMC and PVP-CMC-BA are designated as medicated hydrogels which are elastic in nature like other gels and solids. This present work was focused on the effect of strain on viscoelastic behavior of these medicated hydrogels. Dynamic frequency sweep test at 10% strain and dynamic strain sweep tests at different angular frequencies were performed on these hydrogels. Freshly prepared hydrogels an...
