The media of eight regions of the aorta and three of the pulmonary artery of dogs, as well as isolated elastin, collagen, and smooth muscle obtained from vascular and other sources, were subjected to ...

Strong heterogeneity of pore microstructures leads to complicated velocity-porosity relationships in tight sandstone that cannot be well explained by conventional empirical formulas. To better ...

Indentation measurements are a crucial technique for measuring mechanical properties. Although several contact models have been developed to relate force-displacement measurements with the mechanical ...

Despite the wide recognition of larger artery stiffness as a highly clinically relevant and independent prognostic biomarker, it has yet be incorporated into routine clinical practice and to take a ...

Modulus of resilience, the measure of a material’s ability to store and release elastic strain energy, is critical for realizing advanced mechanical actuation technologies in ...

The mechanical behavior of viscoelastic materials is influenced, among other factors, by parameters like time and temperature. The present paper proposes a methodology for a thermorheologically and ...

Aligned carbon nanotube films promise the unusual combination of high thermal conductivity and mechanical compliance. Here, the mechanical compliance of single-walled nanotube films has been measured ...
