Asylum Research has announced the availability of its powerful new nanomechanical imaging technique, AM-FM Viscoelastic Mapping Mode, for its entire line of Cypher™ and MFP-3D™ atomic force ...

When G', the modulus pertaining to elasticity, exceeds G", the viscous modulus related to flow, the material is said to have an associated structure, and therefore, a yield stress. In order that the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 38 (September 22, 2020), pp. 23365-23373 (9 pages) The elastic and viscous properties of biological ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

Polymers are viscoelastic fluids that are either elastic or viscous, depending on how fast they flow or deformation in the process. The viscoelastic phenomenon, as shown in Figure 1, can be easily ...

Dynamic mechanical analysis helps designers build longer lasting products. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) measures mechanical response of materials subjected to periodic stress at operating ...

Nanotechnology provides great opportunities for the development of advanced devices with enormous quality-of-life and economic benefits, with applications ranging from biomedical implantable actuators ...
