Energy dissipation during particle impact has been widely studied in different fields where
material plastic deformation is one of the main dissipation mechanisms. However, heat …

The aim of this study is to design a new dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) measurement
system that can operate for shear tests at frequencies as high as 10 kHz with strain …

This paper describes a new numerical method–within an ANSYS Workbench finite element
method environment–for simulating the kinetics of the Heat Build-up process in rubber under …

Due to their desired physical properties as viscoelastic materials, polymers have attracted
the attention of various industrial engineering systems. Accurate examination and …

The time to complete fatigue tests can be rather long, especially with high cycle fatigue.
Increasing frequency in fatigue tests decreases the time needed to complete material …

Mechanical and thermal properties of the rubber compounds of a tire play an important role
in the overall performance of the tire when it is in contact with the terrain. Although there are …

Agarose is commonly used for 3D cell culture and to mimic the stiffness of the pericellular
matrix of articular chondrocytes. Although it is known that both temperature and mechanical …

The main purpose of this study is to present a systematically assessment of wear
characteristics of hybrid dental composites. Lanthanum oxide (La2O3) nanofillers are an …

The quality of the collected data from a measurement system affects eventual decision
making process. Therefore, the reliability of any measurement system is an important factor …

The heat build-up and energy dissipation of carbon black reinforced natural rubber
compounds are studied using a rebound resilience tester, Goodrich flexometer and a …
