Acoustic waves are dissipated when they pass through bubbly media. Dissipation by
bubbles takes place through thermal damping (Td), radiation damping (Rd), and damping …

Of the many seminal contributions by Oldroyd to science and engineering, his weightiest
embodies his 1958 general vision of the expected and allowable constitutive behaviors of …

One good way to explore fluid microstructure, experimentally, is to suddenly subject the fluid
to a large steady shearing deformation and to then observe the evolving stress response. If …

Blood is a non-Newtonian suspension of red and white cells, platelets, fibrinogen, and
cholesterols in Newtonian plasma. To assess its non-Newtonian behaviors, this work …

Analytical solutions for the normal stress differences in large-amplitude oscillatory shear flow
(LAOS), for continuum or molecular models, normally take the inexact form of the first few …

The paper uses chemical foaming method to prepare foamed polystyrene (PS) composites
by a self-made visualization system. During the cell growth and deformation process, the …

Novatein® is a patented thermoplastic biopolymer produced from denatured haemoglobin
and serum albumin proteins, in blood meal. This material is biodegradable after processing …

Traditionally, in order to simplify the bubble growth process in a polymer melt, an isothermal
model is typically used. In fact, the temperature of the polymer melt is changing during the …

Experiments with CO 2-blown hanging polystyrene (PS) films were carried out. The porosity
of foams decreased with decreasing film thickness, indicating thus effects of heat and/or …

Foam injection molding processes have received special attention in polymer industry. The
size distribution of bubbles is an important parameter on the molding piece, which depends …
