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 ...

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 ...

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: We consider a class of non-convex complex modulus constrained problems (CMCPs), which has many important applications in signal processing for wireless communications, including multicast ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
