Agarose hydrogels are rapidly becoming a popular option for an implantable scaffold material due to their biocompatibility, native tissue-like viscoelastic mechanical properties and ease of casting ...

The potential to measure mechanical properties through scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been a huge goal as the field has advanced over the past two decades. Different measurement methods have been ...

In the development phase the suitability of parking brake systems is evaluated in vehicle tests. In these tests a pair of brake pads is first bedded in, then the vehicle is parked on a steep hill with ...

The shear mechanical impedance of six polydimethylsiloxane liquids of viscosity grades ranging from 100 to 100 000 cS has been measured over the frequency range 10 kc/s to 78 Mc/s, and at temperatures ...

Traditional testing methods, while reliable, often require months or years to validate seal performance under real-world ...

Rheological measurements are among the simplest and most informative ways to discover the dynamics of polymeric fluids and solids. Linear, or small amplitude, rheology gives a “fingerprint” of the ...
