Stress-Strain Measurements and Viscoelastic Response of Blood Vessels Cryopreserved by Vitrification
TL;DR: Tensile stress relaxation experiments were conducted on vitrified blood vessels, and the results compared with various viscoelastic models, finding blood vessel properties were found to dominate at temperatures above roughly −100 °C, while the properties of the cryoprotectant dominate below this temperature.

A thermomechanical model of multi-shape memory effect for amorphous polymer with tunable segment compositions
TL;DR: In this article, a thermomechanical model was proposed to describe the thermo-/chemo-responsive multi-SME of amorphous polymers with tunable segment compositions.

Stochastic micro-vibration suppression of a sandwich plate using a magneto-rheological visco-elastomer core
Zuguang Ying,Yiqing Ni,S. Q. Ye +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a magneto-rheological visco-elastomer (MRVE) core is used to construct sandwich plates for micro-vibration control.

Hole growth as a microrheological probe to measure the viscosity of polymers confined to thin films
Connie B. Roth,John Dutcher +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the hole radius R initially grows linearly with time t before undergoing a transition to exponential growth characterized by a growth time τ, and the characteristic hole growth times τ of the holes were consistent with significant reductions in viscosity of over eight orders of magnitude with increasing shear strain rate due to shear thinning.
MonographDOI
Biomechanics : concepts and computation
TL;DR: A quantitative approach integrating the classical concepts of mechanics and computational modelling techniques, in a logical progression through a wide range of fundamental biomechanics principles, is presented in this paper, which is the first textbook that integrates both general and specific topics, theoretical background and biomedical engineering applications, as well as analytical and numerical approaches.

The Determination of the Elastic Field of an Ellipsoidal Inclusion, and Related Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.

Yielding of steel sheets containing slits
TL;DR: In this article, a relation between extent of plastic yielding and external load applied was investigated, and panels containing internal and edge slits were loaded in tension and lengths of plastic zones were measured.
