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 ...

The triaxial compressive response of bituminous mixes with volume fractions of aggregate in the range 52 to 85% was investigated over a wide range stresses and strain rates. The types of loadings considered include triaxial ...

Carbon fiber–reinforced plastic is a trend in the composite field since it has outstanding mechanical properties, which can be applied in several areas. For this work, carbon fiber–reinforced plastic composite using epoxy ...

The creep behavior of new polymers prepared by free radical polymerization of styrene-crosslinked resins obtained from linseed oil and derived wood flour (WF) composites have been analyzed. Results of short-time flexural ...

The spherical indentation response of a dense bitumen macadam asphalt mixture with two different volume fractions of bitumen binder is investigated both experimentally and via an analytical model. The model for the indentation ...

The yielding behavior of dilute magnetorheological (MR) fluids has been investigated using creep–recovery tests. At very low stress levels, MR fluids behave in the linear viscoelastic regime as demonstrated by the fact ...

Whey proteins can form different types of gels depending on the method used for their preparation. The purpose of this study was to characterize and compare gels obtained by heating and enzymatic (Bacillus Licheniformis ...

If the continuous phase of an emulsion or foam is a semisolid system,these systems can be described as filled gels or composite solids. Gel emulsionsare widely used in different industries like cosmetic, pharmaceutical, ...
