The modulus of elasticity Youngs modulus E is a material property, that. From the Hooks law the modulus of elasticity is defined as the ratio of the stress to.modulus of elasticity of the cultured SC cells examined in this study, in central, non-nuclear regions, ranged between. Johnson B.all require an effective E, the Youngs modulus or elastic modulus, to quantify. Elastic moduli, such as the ...

Deformation modulus of rock mass has a significant role in the support design of an underground excavation. It is determined by expensive in-situ tests or by empirical models. Existing models for estimation of deformation modulus do not consider its stress dependence. Herein, data from several sources is used to develop a stress- (depth-) dependent relation for estimation of deformation modulus...

A relatively new class of transition metal layered compounds Mn+1AXn, (MAX phases) where M is an early transition metal, A a group A element most likely Al, and X is C or N with n = 1, 2, 3 or 4. Due to their unique structural arrangements and directional bonding, these ternary compounds possess some very outstanding mechanical and chemical properties such as damageresistance, oxidation resista...

Bio-impedance Analysis had been used in the medical field and research with over 70 years. This technique enable a non-invasive and low-cost diagnosis of a wide range of cardiovascular pathology. It permits the access to impedance changes caused by pathophysiological processes in living tissue and allows to the diagnosis several vascular anomalies such as arterial and venous diseases (stenosis,...

Typically, the elastic and electrical properties of composite materials are strongly microstruc-ture dependent. So it comes as a nice surprise to come across exact formulae for eeective moduli that are universally valid no matter what the microstructure. Such exact formulae provide useful benchmarks for testing numerical and actual experimental data, and for evaluating the merit of various appr...

A general unified theory of field (van der Waals, electric, etc.)-induced surface instabilities in thin viscoelastic films that accounts for a destabilizing field and stabilizing effects of elastic strain and surface energy is presented. The present theory seamlessly covers the instability and its different regimes in films ranging from elastic to viscous, from adhesive (confined) to wetting (f...

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the waste materials that highway agencies promote to use in new construction or rehabilitation of highways pavement. Since the use of RAP can affect the resilient modulus and other structural properties of flexible pavement layers, this paper aims to employ two different artificial neural network (ANN) models for modeling and evaluating the effects of ...

We investigated the effects of the initial stiffness of a three-dimensional elastomer scaffold--highly porous poly(glycerol sebacate)--on functional assembly of cardiomyocytes cultured with perfusion for 8 days. The polymer elasticity varied with the extent of polymer cross-links, resulting in three different stiffness groups, with compressive modulus of 2.35 ± 0.03 (low), 5.28 ± 0.36 (medium),...
