In this paper, the effect of reclaimed rubber modification on the rheological characteristics of asphalt binders is studied. Reclaimed rubber with the extent of 12, 16 and 20 is added to the neat asphalt binder and then shear complex modulus is obtained for neat and modified asphalt binder via Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test. Using Christensen-Anderson- Marasteanu (CAM) model, master curves ...

In this paper we impose distinct restrictions on the moduli of zeros p(z)=n∑v=0avzvp(z)=∑v=0navzv and investigate dependence ∥p(Rz)−p(σz)∥‖p(Rz)−p(σz)‖, R>σ≥1R>σ≥1 MαMα Mα+πMα+π, where Mα=max1≤k≤n|p(ei(α+2kπ)/n)|Mα=max1≤k≤n|p(ei(α+2kπ)/n)| certain coefficients p(z)p(z). This comprises several results, which in particular yields some classical polynomial inequalities as special cas...

Many pathological processes in tissues are recognized by morphological changes that reflect alterations of the soft tissue mechanical properties. Ultrasound shear-wave imaging can provide quantitative information about soft tissue mechanical properties, specifically the complex shear modulus. Advancing this field has the potential to bridge molecular, cellular, and tissue biology and to influen...

handling of endodontic sealers is greatly dependent on their elasticity and flow ability. we compared the viscoelastic properties of three root canal sealers.ah plus (dentsply, de trey, konstanz, germany), endofill (dentsply hero, petrópolis, rio de janeiro, brazil) and ah26 (dentsply, de trey, konstanz, germany) were mixed according to the manufacturers' instructions. the resulted pastes were ...

The rheological properties of four different Kuwaiti crude oils in the presence of polyacrylamide (PAA) were investigated. PAA was varied at three different concentrations of 25, 50, and 75 ppm to study the viscoelastic properties in the untreated samples. Four different temperatures (25, 30, 35, and 40 °C) were used to evaluate different viscoelastic parameters of the treated and untreated Kuw...

In this paper, a new method for evaluating the viscoelastic properties of biological tissues such as tendons and ligaments is presented. This method obtains the complex modulus of these tissues to characterize their viscoelastic properties. With this method, the stresses and strains measured in time are first transformed (using FFT), and the complex modulus is then obtained. The complex modulus...
