Modeling Droplet Impingement Dynamics on Micropillar-Arrayed Viscoelastic Substrates Through Microgeometry-Free and Multiscale Methods
… has been thoroughly investigated by two distinct modeling methods, i.e., microgeometry-free and multiscale modeling methods. The viscoelasticity of the micropillar-arrayed substrate is characterized by a five-parameter generalized Maxwell model via the Laplace-Carson transform. In the …

Creep and damage models for the service behaviour of structural members
… studied from the material and the structural modelling point of view. Moreover, two materials have been handled: pultruded composites and concrete. A new finite element model for thin-walled beams has been introduced. As a main assumption, cross-sections rigid are considered rigid in their …

Theories of slow dynamics: from glassy colloidal suspensions to entangled macromolecular liquids
… non-Gaussian activated ``hopping'' events by modeling motion on a dynamic free energy surface. By coarse graining over the initial separation between the tagged particles many aspects of ``dynamic heterogeneity,'' a set of phenomena accompanying the glass transition, can be understood. …

Analysis of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Linear Viscoelastic and Bimodular Properties Using Uniaxial Compression and Indirect Tension (IDT) Tests
… HMA mixes and determined whether HMA need to be modeled as a bimodular material to analyze IDT creep compliance test results. The need to model HMA as a bimodular material is a result of a number of studies that suggest that HMA tensile and compressive properties are different. A testing program …

Multiscale modeling of moisture transport coupled with quality changes in selected foods
… has a great importance in describing and modeling their sorption and drying behavior. Due to complexity and dynamic nature of the drying and sorption processes, purely experimental methods are not capable of obtaining information on transport mechanisms. In other words, experimental …

Single Cell Biomechanical Phenotyping using Microfluidics and Nanotechnology
… the application of nonlinear viscoelastic models such as Fractional Zener and Generalized Maxwell models for the naturally complex, heterogeneous, and nonlinear structure of living cells. The emerging need for a high-throughput clinically relevant alternative for evaluating biomechanics of …
