attempts have been made for the first time to produce a friction material with thermal sensitive modulus by the inclusion of combined plastic/rubber properties of thermoplastic elastomers (tpe) as viscoelastic polymeric materials into the formulation for the purpose of increasing the damping behavior. in order to evaluate the viscoelastic parameters such as loss factor (tan δ) and elastic modul...

This paper discusses static and dynamic response of nanoplate resting on an orthotropic visco-Pasternak foundation based on Eringen’s nonlocal theory. Graphene sheet modeled as nanoplate which is assumed to be orthotropic and viscoelastic. By considering the Mindlin plate theory and viscoelastic Kelvin-Voigt model, equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle which are then solved...

In this paper, the dynamic response of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with simple supports is calculated analytically based on Timoshenko theory. The beam material property is separated to shear and bulk effects. It is assumed that the beam is incompressible in bulk and viscoelastic in shear, which obeys the standard linear model with the material time derivative. The axial speed is charac...

We propose a constitutive relation for finite deformations of nearly incompressible isotropic viscoelastic rubbery adhesives assuming that the Cauchy stress tensor can be written as the sum of elastic and viscoelastic parts. The former is derived from a stored energy function and the latter from a hereditary type integral. Using Ogden’s expression for the strain energy density and the Prony ser...

The objective of present research is to examine the thermal radiation effect in three-dimensional mixed convection flow of viscoelastic fluid. The boundary layer analysis has been discussed for flow by an exponentially stretching surface with convective conditions. The resulting partial differential equations are reduced into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropria...

OBJECTIVE Little is known about the interaction of tissue conditioners and modeling plastics. This study evaluates the influence of a variety of commercial tissue conditioners on alteration of viscoelastic properties of modeling plastics. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, the dynamic viscoelastic properties of four commercially available tissue conditioners (TC), Visco-gel (VG), G...

Finite Element (FE) head models are often used to understand mechanical response of the head and its contents during impact loading in the head. Current FE models do not account for non-linear viscoelastic material behavior of brain tissue. We developed a new non-linear viscoelastic material model for brain tissue and implemented it in an explicit FE code. To obtain sufficient numerical accurac...

PURPOSE During the last decades, derivatives and integrals of non-integer orders are being more commonly used for the description of constitutive behavior of various viscoelastic materials including soft biological tissues. Compared to integer order constitutive relations, non-integer order viscoelastic material models of soft biological tissues are capable of capturing a wider range of viscoel...
