A time-dependent model corresponding to an OldroydB viscoelastic fluid is considered, the convective terms being disregarded. Global existence in time is proved in Banach spaces provided the data are small enough, using the implicit function theorem and a maximum regularity property for a three fields Stokes problem. A finite element discretization in space is then proposed. Existence of the nu...

Viscoelastic materials have non-negative relaxation spectra. This property implies that viscoelastic response functions satisfy certain necessary and sufficient conditions. It is shown that these conditions can be expressed in terms of each viscoelastic response function ranging over a cone. The elements of each cone are completely characterized by an integral representation. The 1:1 correspond...

The objective of the present study is to systematically characterize a nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of petroleum jelly in large amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields correspondent to the rubbing condition onto the human body. With this aim, using a strain-controlled rheometer, the dynamic viscoelastic properties of commercially available petroleum jelly have been measured at 37oC (body tem...

In this paper dynamic damping properties of a nominated flexible structural adhesive have been identified using an extended-direct modal based joint identification method. It has been revealed that damping characteristics of adhesive are correlated to both frequency and mode shape. Young’s and shear moduli increase with frequency but damping on the other hand, decrease. The results showed that ...

In this paper, we study a class of conformable frictionless contact problems with the surface traction driven by impulsive differential equation. The existence mild solution for hemivariational inequality is obtained Rothe method, subjectivity multivalued pseudomonotone operators and property derivative. Notice that imply some new fractional viscoelastic constitutive laws.

The determination of the elastic property distribution in heterogeneous gel samples with a finite element based reconstruction scheme is considered. The algorithm operates on small overlapping subzones of the total field to allow for a high degree of spatial discretization while maintaining computational tractability. By including a Maxwellian-type viscoelastic property in the model physics and...

Stable hydrophobic nanocomposites of magnetic nanoparticles and clay are prepared by the self-assembly of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles on surfaces of exfoliated clay platelets. Due to the attractive interaction between hydrophobic groups, oleic acid coated nanoparticles are strongly attached to the surface of cetyl trimethylammonium cation coated clay platelets in organic media. Crystal stru...

Polymer-based materials are commonly used as an adhesion layer for bonding die chip and substrate in micro-system packaging. Their properties exhibit significant impact on the stability and reliability of micro-devices. The viscoelasticity, one of most important attributes of adhesive materials, is investigated for the first time in this paper to evaluate the long-term drift of micro-accelerome...
