Measurement of the adhesive force is of great interest in a large number of applications, such as powder coating and processing of cohesive powders. Established measurement methods such as Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and the centrifugal method are costly and time consuming. For engineering applications there is a need to develop a quick test method. The drop test method has been designed and ...

A method for measuring the pair interaction potential between colloidal particles by extrapolation measurement of collective structure to infinite dilution is presented and explored using simulation and experiment. The method is particularly well suited to systems in which the colloid is fluorescent and refractive index matched with the solvent. The method involves characterizing the potential ...

mechanism and factors influencing on creep behavior of clay soil have not been understood yet due to its complex structure. in this paper, to investigate the affecting parameters on the creep behavior of the clay soils such as stress level, over consolidated pressure and water pressure, odeometr test are performed in states of single stage, stepwise and overloaded-unloaded and the creep mechani...

objective: different categories are available for estimating of radiation dose. radioisotopes with the same energy and almost the same physical properties have similar effects. monte carlo technique is a computerized method based on mathematical simulation of physical processes. the main purpose of this study is to show that beta particles are not able to penetrate deep into the water. also dif...
