Rheology of the sesame oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by cellulose nanofibers
TL;DR: In this paper, the sesame oil-in-water Pickering emulsions using cellulose nanofibers (CNF) as the emulsifier were prepared for the rheological study, aiming at establishing relationship between emulsion viscoelasticity and morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compatibility studies on some polymer blend systems by electrical and mechanical techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, the compatibility results obtained from dielectric measurements were comparable with those obtained from the calculation of the heat of mixing, which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and showed that the addition of either SBR or PVC could improve the compatibility of such blends to some extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of plastic-bonded explosive binder materials as a function of strain-rate and temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, compressive measurements were conducted on three explosive formulation binders, extruded Estane, plasticized Estane and plasticized hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene, as a function of temperature and strain rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topology optimization of viscoelastic structures using a time-dependent adjoint method
Kai A. James,Haim Waisman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a mathematical framework for producing optimal designs of structures that exhibit viscoelastic creep deformation, which is optimized for minimum mass subject to a constraint on the maximum local deflection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertial to Viscoelastic Transition in Early Drop Spreading on Soft Surfaces
TL;DR: It is shown that a short, rapid spreading stage exists after initial contact and the requisite balance determining the speed of motion is between capillary forces and inertial effects.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
