Polymers are often employed in engineering designs because of their ability to damp out shock and vibration. A material’s ability to elastically store energy is characterized by the storage modulus (E ...

σ is the maximum stress expressed in MPa and ε is the maximum strain expressed in m/m. This modulus is called “dynamic modulus” in the Anglo-Saxon system (AASHTO TP 62-07, [3], ASTM D 3497-79, [4]) ...

Abstract: Complex-valued wavelets are normally used to measure instantaneous frequencies, while real wavelets are normally used to detect singularities. We prove that the wavelet modulus maxima with a ...

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 ...

Black curves are a plot of phase angle (δ) vs complex modulus (G*), containing no reference to temperature or frequency. Consequently, they are very easy to produce. Individual data points from the ...

Abstract: Fast complex arithmetic is essential to a wide class of real-time digital transform and filter operations. Traditional methods require a multiplicity of real multiplies and adds be performed ...

It is important to understand the mechanical properties of biomaterials to be able to know the reciprocal relationship between function and properties. The mechanical properties of biomaterial will ...

Calculating a floating point complex modulus isn't quite trivial. The naive method may encounter overflow, underflow, or loss of precision due to the intermediate floating point results. A simple ...
