The objective of this study was to evaluate intake behavior of lambs in pasture systems: (1) lambs kept with their dams in ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) without supplementation; (2) lambs kept with their dams in the ...

We study the creep phenomena associated with non-thermal, temporal fluctuations in systems obeying the Edward’s thermodynamics. In imbibition experiments with granular media, we have observed that initially pinned wetting ...

Creep behavior of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked gelatin films was evaluated by short-time flexural tests at 30 °C. Samples were characterized by the number-average molecular weight between two crosslinking points, determined ...

The creep behaviour of injection moulded PA 6/organoclay nanocomposites was studied by depth-sensing nanoindentation and DMA cantilever-bending. The glass transitions of PA 6 and its nanocomposites were decreased below ...

Plasma nitriding of a solution annealed and aged 300 grade maraging steel was studied aiming to increase the creep resistance. The surface microhardness reached 1,140 HV, producing 50 μm layer composed of ε-Fe3N and γ'-Fe4N ...

Hot tensile and creep tests were carried out on Kanthal A1 alloy in the temperature range from 600 to 800 degrees C. Each of these sets of data were analyzed separately according to their own methodologies, but an attempt ...

The viscoelastic properties of mozzarella cheese using a creep/recovery test considering different sampling directions (parallel and perpendicular to protein fiber orientation), test temperatures (20, 30 and 40C) and ...
