this paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (slgs) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. the slgs is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as visco-pasternak foundation. in order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...

The mechanical behavior of viscoelastic materials is influenced, among other factors, by parameters like time and temperature. The present paper proposes a methodology for a thermorheologically and piezorheologically simple characterization of viscoelastic materials in the time domain based on experimental data using Prony Series and a mixed optimization technique based on Genetic Algorithms an...

The recent experiments of Crocker et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 888 (2000)] suggest that microrheological measurements obtained from the correlated fluctuations of widely-separated probe particles determine the rheological properties of soft, complex materials more accurately than do the more traditional particle autocorrelations. This presents an interesting problem in viscoelastic dynamics. We...

Glass relaxation occurs in a range of temperature during transition from equilibrium to super-cooled liquid. Viscoelastic material model can be applied to simulate glass behavior in the glass transition regime. COMSOL Multiphysics software 4.3b can simulate the stress relaxation with the WLF (WilliamsLandel-Ferry) shift function, but no structural relaxation. In this study we developed a framew...

In this study, we first present a classical finite element (FE) method for a two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic wave equation and analyze the existence, stability, and convergence of the FE solutions. Then we establish an optimized FE extrapolating (OFEE) method based on a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method for the 2D viscoelastic wave equation and analyze the existence, stability, and...

A novel approach to probe viscoelastic properties of cells based on double trap optical tweezers is reported. Frequency dependence of the tangent of phase difference in the movement of the opposite erythrocyte edges while one of the edges is forced to oscillate by optical tweezers appeared to be highly dependent on the rigidity of the cellular membrane. Effective viscoelastic parameters charact...

A weak form Galerkin finite element model for the nonlinear quasi-static and fully transient analysis of initially straight viscoelastic beams is developed using the kinematic assumptions of the third-order Reddy beam theory. The formulation assumes linear viscoelastic material properties and is applicable to problems involving small strains and moderate rotations. The viscoelastic constitutive...

Prior mechanical testing of ankle ligaments has focused on quantifying ligament ultimate strength (Attarian et al., 1985; Siegler et al., 1988). Few studies have attempted to model the constitutive behavior of ankle ligaments at sub-failure levels. Although the viscoelastic nature of ankle ligaments has been noted (Attarian et al., 1985), no studies have attempted to create a viscoelastic const...

We present a mathematical framework to provide general well-posedness and approximation results for a laminated curved beam. The layered beam consists of an elastic core layer, symmentric viscoelastic damping layers, symmetric constraining layers and bonded piezoceramic patch pairs on the outer surfaces. The model includes unbounded inputs from the piezoceramic patches, hysteresis and shear in ...

The objective of our work is to explore the potential of parallel computers in numerical simulation of viscoelastic flows. Viscoelastic flow simulations often result in ill-conditioned algebraic systems and, therefore, direct solution methods have been in vogue. But the main disadvantage of direct methods is their excessive storage requirements for large matrices, especially for three-dimension...
