An end milling process is widely used in fabrication of complex contours and shape parts at high spindle speeds. Many researchers try to investigate one of important aspect, which come across during machining is the self exited chatter vibration which causes severe damage of the tool and quality of the machined surface. The present work is focused on the Magneto-Rheological Damping effect on st...

A recent study in South Africa has confirmed, for the first time, that a vaginal gel formulation of the antiretroviral drug Tenofovir, when topically applied, significantly inhibits sexual HIV transmission to women [Karim et al., Science 329, 1168 (2010)]. However, the gel for this drug and anti-HIV microbicide gels in general have not been designed using an understanding of how gel spreading a...

We analyse a problem of hydraulic fracture driven by non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluid. Fluid viscosity is described the four-parameter truncated power-law model. By varying parameters rheological model we investigate spatial and temporal evolution fluid flow inside crack resulting geometry. A detailed quantitative qualitative analysis underlying physical phenomena delivered. The results demon...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to identify the critical formulation parameters controlling distribution and function for the rectal administration of microbicides in humans. Four placebo formulations were designed with a wide range of hydrophilic characteristics (aqueous to lipid) and rheological properties (Newtonian, shear thinning, thermal sensitive and thixotropic). Aqueous formu...

Structural and dynamical properties of a micellar solution are studied mainly through examining its rheological behavior in the semidilute regime. The micellar solution is made of a zwitterionic surfactant N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and salty water. In particular, we are interested in how the system is affected when the ionic strength of the ...

Pads of beetles are covered with long, deformable setae, each ending in a micrometric terminal plate coated with secretory fluid. It was recently shown that the layer of the pad secretion covering the terminal plates is responsible for the generation of strong attractive forces. However, less is known about the fluid itself because it is produced in an extremely small quantity. We present here ...

The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such s snow avalanches or debris flows involve slurries of solid particles (ice, boulder, clay, etc.) within an interstitial fluid (air, water). The bulk ehavior of these materials has often been modeled as plastic materials, i.e., a plastic material yields and st...

With the development of technology, new materials have been invented, which have been applied to improve the performance of structures. Recently, researchers pay their attention to controllable fluids and its applications. Magneto rheological (MR) damper is a kind of devices that uses rheological fluids to modify their mechanical properties. Their mechanical simplicity, large dynamic range, low...

8 ABSTRACT: In situ characterization of minute amounts of fluids that rapidly change 9 their rheological properties is a challenge. In this paper, the rheological properties of 10 fluids were evaluated by examining the behavior of magnetic nanorods in a rotating 11 magnetic field. We proposed a theory describing the rotation of a magnetic nanorod in 12 a fluid when its viscosity increases with ...

Artificial articular joints present an interesting, and difficult, tribological problem. These bearing contacts undergo complex transient loading and multi axes kinematic cycles, over extremely long periods of time (>10 years). Despite extensive research, wear of the bearing surfaces, particularly metal-metal hips, remains a major problem. Comparatively little is known about the prevailing lubr...
