The effects of viscoelasticity on radial oscillations and the fundamental and harmonic components are researched. The peaks of radial oscillations and magnitudes of power spectra of the fundamental and harmonic components all increase gradually with the shear modulus of shell varying from 0 to 10 MPa by an interval of 0. 1 MPa at the same shear viscosity, while they decrease as the shear viscosity increases from 0 to 1 Pa · s by an interval of 0. 01 Pa · s at the same shear modulus. The fluctuation ranges of subharmonic and ultraharmonic signals are much larger than both the fundamental and second harmonic components. It means that the effect of viscoelasticity on the subharmonic and ultraharmonic signals is greater than that on the fundamental and second harmonic components. So adjusting the viscoelasticity of the shell is a potential method to obtain a perfect microbubble contrast agent used for the subharmonic and ultraharmonic imaging. Four points with significant fundamental and harmonic components are chosen as an example： a shear viscosity of 0. 39 Pa · s with shear modulus of 3.9, 6. 6, and 8.6 MPa, respectively; a shear modulus of 6.6 MPa with a shear viscosity of 0.42 Pa · s.展开更多

In response to changes in mechanical forces and in the chemical potential of the solvent in the environment, the gel evolves by two concurrent molecular processes： the conformational change of the network, and the migration of the solvent. The two processes result in viscoelasticity and poroelasticity, and are characterized by two material-specific properties： the time of viscoelastic relaxation and the effective diffusivity of the solvent through the network. The two properties define a material- specific length. The material-specific time and length enable us to discuss macroscopic observations made over different lengths and times, and identify limiting conditions in which viscoelastic and poroelastic relaxations have either completed or yet started. We formulate a model of homogeneous deformation, and use several examples to illustrate viscoelasticity-limited solvent migration, where the migration of the solvent is pronounced, but the size of the gel is so small that the rate of change is limited by viscoelasticity. We further describe a theory that evolves a gel through inhomogeneous states. Both infinitesimal and finite deformation are considered.展开更多

The results show that dilational viscoelasticity modulus, dilational elasticity modulus and dilational viscosity modulus increase with the concentration of starch particles. Foam stability increases with dilational viscoelasticity. Foam strength also increases with starch concentration. Starch particles play a positive effect on foam stability and dilational viscoelasticity and the effect becomes more significant as drainage proceeds. Film pictures indicate that the film with 20%(by mass) starch particles is thicker than that without starch. Starch particles gather in Plateau border and resist drainage, making the foam more stable.展开更多

Both tissues were analyzed for their stress relaxation and creep properties to determine suitability for transplantation applications. Human amniotic membrane and sciatic nerve tissues had similar tendencies for stress relaxation and creep properties. The stress value of the amniotic membrane stress relaxation group decreased to a greater extent compared with the sciatic nerve stress relaxation group. Similarly, the stress value of the amniotic membrane creep group increased to a greater extent compared with the sciatic nerve creep group. The stress relaxation curve for human amniotic membrane and sciatic nerve showed a logarithm correlation, while the creep curve showed an exponential correlation. These data indicate that amniotic membrane tissue has better stress relaxation and creep properties compared with sciatic nerve tissue.展开更多

Linear viscoelastic parameters (eta (0) and G(N)(0)) and topologically constrained dimension number (n ' a and <(<upsilon>)over bar>) as a function of the primary molecular weight (M-n), molecular weight between entanglements (M-C) and the entanglement sites sequence distribution in polymer chain were determined. A new method for determination of viscoelastic parameters (eta (0), psi (10), G(N)(0) and J(e)(0)), topologically constrained dimension number (n ', a and v) and molecular weight (M-n, M-c and M-e) from the shear flow measurements was proposed. It was used to determine those parameters and structures of HDPE, making a good agreement between these values and those obtained by other methods. The agreement affords a quantitative verification for the molecular theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity with constrained entanglement in polymer melts.展开更多

文摘Since changes in mechanical properties of biological tissues are often closely related to pathology,the viscoelastic properties are important physical parameters for medical diagnosis.A photoacoustic(PA)phase-resolved method for noninvasively characterizing the biological tissue viscoelasticity has been proposed by Gao et al.[G.Gao,S.Yang,D.Xing,\Viscoelasticity imaging of biological tissues with phase-resolved photoacoustic measurement,"Opt.Lett.36,3341–3343(2011)].The mathematical relationship between the PA phase delay and the viscosity–elasticity ratio has been theoretically deduced.Moreover,systems of PA viscoelasticity(PAVE)imaging including PAVE microscopy and PAVE endoscopy were developed,and high-PA-phase contrast images re°ecting the tissue viscoelasticity information have been successfully achieved.The PAVE method has been developed in tumor detection,atherosclerosis characterization and related vascular endoscopy.We reviewed the development of the PAVE technique and its applications in biomedical¯elds.It is believed that PAVE imaging is of great potential in both biomedical applications and clinical studies.

文摘The optic nerve is a viscoelastic solid-like biomaterial.Its normal stress relaxation and creep properties enable the nerve to resist constant strain and protect it from injury.We hypothesized that stress relaxation and creep properties of the optic nerve change after injury.Moreover,human brain-derived neurotrophic factor or umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells may restore these changes to normal.To validate this hypothesis,a rabbit model of optic nerve injury was established using a clamp approach.At 7 days after injury,the vitreous body received a one-time injection of 50 μg human brain-derived neurotrophic factor or 1 × 106 human umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells.At 30 days after injury,stress relaxation and creep properties of the optic nerve that received treatment had recovered greatly,with pathological changes in the injured optic nerve also noticeably improved.These results suggest that human brain-derived neurotrophic factor or umbilical cord blood-derived stem cell intervention promotes viscoelasticity recovery of injured optic nerves,and thereby contributes to nerve recovery.
文摘Sciatic nerve tissue was obtained from the gluteus maximus muscle segment of normal human cadavers and amniotic membrane tissue was obtained from healthy human puerperant placentas. Both tissues were analyzed for their stress relaxation and creep properties to determine suitability for transplantation applications. Human amniotic membrane and sciatic nerve tissues had similar tendencies for stress relaxation and creep properties. The stress value of the amniotic membrane stress relaxation group decreased to a greater extent compared with the sciatic nerve stress relaxation group. Similarly, the stress value of the amniotic membrane creep group increased to a greater extent compared with the sciatic nerve creep group. The stress relaxation curve for human amniotic membrane and sciatic nerve showed a logarithm correlation, while the creep curve showed an exponential correlation. These data indicate that amniotic membrane tissue has better stress relaxation and creep properties compared with sciatic nerve tissue.

文摘Based on the molecular theory of non-linear viscoelasticity with constrained entanglements in polymer melts, the material functions in simple shear flow were formulated, the theoretical relations between. eta((gamma) over dot), psi (10)((gamma) over dot) and shear rate ((gamma) over dot), and topologically constrained dimension number n ' and a were derived. Linear viscoelastic parameters (eta (0) and G(N)(0)) and topologically constrained dimension number (n ' a and <(<upsilon>)over bar>) as a function of the primary molecular weight (M-n), molecular weight between entanglements (M-C) and the entanglement sites sequence distribution in polymer chain were determined. A new method for determination of viscoelastic parameters (eta (0), psi (10), G(N)(0) and J(e)(0)), topologically constrained dimension number (n ', a and v) and molecular weight (M-n, M-c and M-e) from the shear flow measurements was proposed. It was used to determine those parameters and structures of HDPE, making a good agreement between these values and those obtained by other methods. The agreement affords a quantitative verification for the molecular theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity with constrained entanglement in polymer melts.
