Semi-analytical solutions for vibration analysis of nonlocal piezoelectric Kirchhoff plates resting on viscoelastic foundation with arbitrary boundary conditions are derived by developing Galerkin strip distributed transfer function method. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory for piezoelectric materials and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations of motion and boundary conditions are ...

In this paper, a new viscoelastic size-depended model developed based on a modified couple stress theory and the for nonlinear viscoelastic material in order to vibration analysis of a viscoelastic nanoplate. The material of the nanoplate is assumed to obey the Leaderman nonlinear constitutive relation and the von Kármán plate theory is employed to model the system. The viscous parts of the clas...

In this paper, the dynamic response of a viscoelastic beam subjected to a moving distributed load has been studied. The viscoelastic properties of the beam have been considered as linear standard model in shear and incompressible in bulk. The stress components have been separated to the shear and dilatation components and as a result the governing equations in viscoelastic form has been obtaine...

This paper describes a revision of the Hill-type muscle model so that it will describe the chemo-mechanical energy conversion process (energetic) and the internal-element stiffness variation (viscoelastic) during a skeletal muscle isometric force twitch contraction. The derivation of this energetic-viscoelastic model is described by a first-order linear ordinary differential equation with const...

This paper describes our experimental testing of linear viscoelastic creep behaviours in HamiMelon. Experimental data shows that HamiMelon has complex viscoelastic property which cannot be well described by the standard model. Consequently, this study develops a fractional derivative model to describe such complex viscoelastic creep behaviours of Hami Melon. The analytical creep function of the...

in this study prediction of the steady-state flow of branched polymer melts in pipe geometry with finite volume method is presented. our analysis in this study revealed that;for normal-stress tqq , the xpp model can predict this tensor unlike the other viscoelastic models such as ptt or gieskus which can not predict tqq for viscoelastic fluid in two dimensional pipe flows. the fluid is modelled...

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...

CONTEXT Because of the lack of accurate values for mechanically applied forces in osteopathic manipulative treatment, osteopathic physicians must apply mechanical forces intuitively. However, excessive loading and high velocity maneuvers carry risks for patients. OBJECTIVE To determine the loads required to produce compression, shear, extension, and twist on biceps muscle during manual therap...

This study presents a finite element (FE) micromechanical modelling approach for the simulation of linear and damage-coupled viscoelastic behaviour of asphalt mixture. Asphalt mixture is a composite material of graded aggregates bound with mastic (asphalt and fine aggregates). The microstructural model of asphalt mixture incorporates an equivalent lattice network structure whereby intergranular...
