2. 6. Capillarity and wetting of non-Newtonian droplets

   Author : Yuli Wang; Gustav Amberg; Daniel Bonn; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dynamic wetting; contact line; diffusive interface; viscoelasticity; non-Newtonian; microfluidics; droplet impact; droplet spreading; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Capillarity and dynamic wetting of non-Newtonian fluids are important in many natural and industrial processes, examples cover from a daily phenomenon as splashing of a cup of yogurt to advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing. The applicable non-Newtonian fluids are usually viscoelastic compounds of polymers and solvents. READ MORE

4. 7. Ultrastructural Aspects of Pulp Fibers as Studied by Dynamic FT-IR Spectroscopy

   Author : Margaretha Åkerholm; KTH; []
   Keywords : cellulose; cooperation; crystallinity; dynamic test; glucomannan; hardwood; holocellulose; humidity; infrared spectroscopy; kraft pulp; lignin; mechanical pulp; orientation; polarised light; softwood; strain; sulphite pulp; viscoelasticity; xylan;

   Abstract : Dynamic (or 2D) FT-IR spectroscopy in combination withpolarized IR irradiation has been used in this work to studywood polymer orientation and interactions on theultrastructural level in wood fibers in the native state aswell as the effects of different pulping processes. The woodpolymer interactions were studied under both dry and humidconditions. READ MORE

5. 8. Mechanistic-Empirical Modelling of Flexible Pavement Performance : Verifications Using APT Measurements

   Author : Abubeker W. Ahmed; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Hervè Di Benedetto; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Performance; Deformation; Model not math ; Rutting wheel ; Viscoelasticity; Elasticity; Axle load; Flexible pavement; Laboratory not an organization ; Test; Thesis; Heavy vehicle simulator; Wheel tracking test; 32 Road: Pavement design; 32 Road: Pavement design; Transportvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Mechanistic-Empirical  (M-E)  pavement  design  procedures  are  composed  of  a  reliable  response model to estimate the state of stress in the pavement and distress models in order to predict the different types of pavement distresses due to the prevailing traffic and environmental conditions. One of the main objectives of this study was to develop a response model based on multilayer elastic  theory   (MLET)  with  improved  computational  performance  by   optimizing  the   time consuming parts of the MLET processes.

6. 9. Dynamic analyses of structures with applied rubber

   Author : Magnus Alvelid; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Viscoelasticity; Series expansion; Finite; Fractional calculus; Optimization;

   Abstract : The aim with the present thesis has been to develop efficient, practical and accuratemethods in order to model rubber in dynamic analyses, with emphasis on passive constrainedlayer damping materials. A fractional order viscoelastic constitutive model ismapped onto experimental data from a measurement standard using a vibrating beamtechnique. READ MORE

7. 10. Modeling and simulation of electro-viscoelastic polymers

   Author : Anna Ask; Hållfasthetslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electroactive polymers; dielectric elastomer actuators; electromechanical coupling; finite elements; viscoelasticity; finite deformations;

   Abstract : The electroactive polymer materials considered in this work react to electric stimuli by producing deformations. In some cases, the electrically induced deformations are moderate, while in other cases they can be very large and the specimen is stretched to more than twice its original length. READ MORE
