The aim of this study was to understand the chemistry of spelt (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) gluten in relation to its quality, to classify European spelt cultivars based on gluten quality, and to compare their protein compositions with those of modern wheats. Gluten quality of two sets of 25 spelt cultivars was studied using dynamic oscillatory and creep tests, an SDS sedimentation test, moi...

We study the behavior in time of solutions to several systems equations for porous-thermo-elastic problems when one variables is considered be quasi-static or, other words, whose second derivative can neglected. analyze three different situations using classical Fourier law and also type II or III Green–Naghdi heat conduction models.

Despite continued progress in the treatment of aortic valve (AV) disease, current treatments continue to be challenged to consistently restore AV function for extended durations. Improved approaches for AV repair and replacement rests upon our ability to more fully comprehend and simulate AV function. While the elastic behavior the AV leaflet (AVL) has been previously investigated, time-depende...

the effect of impact modifier on creep behavior of wood flour- recycled polypropylene composites has been evaluated in this work. for this purpose, impact modifier (ethylene vinyl acetate) and recycled polypropylene were mixed with wood flour (50/50% w/w) as well as the impact modifier (0, 3%, 6% and 9%) by a counter-rotating twin-screw extruder to manufacture the wood flour- recycled polypropy...

This paper presents the results of thermo-mechanical characterization of Glass/Epoxy composite specimens using Infrared Thermography technique. The specimens used for the study were fabricated in-house with three different lay-up sequences and tested on a servo hydraulic machine under uni-axial loading. Infrared Camera was used for on-line monitoring surface temperature changes of composite spe...
