Several plant extracts are being investigated to produce edible coatings, mainly due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In this study, licorice root extracts were produced by ultrasound-assisted extraction and were combined with chitosan to elaborate edible coatings. Different solvents and temperatures were used in the extraction process, and the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the extracts were assessed. The most bioactive extracts were selected for the development of the edible coatings. The rheological properties of the coatings were studied, and they were applied on strawberry to evaluate their physicochemical and microbiological properties. The addition of licorice extract to chitosan resulted in positive effects on the rheological properties of the coatings: the incorporation of phytochemicals to chitosan decreased the shear stress and improved the restructuring ability of the coating solutions. The films presented a reduction of the Burger model parameter, indicating a reduction of rigidity. Furthermore, the strawberry coated with chitosan and licorice extract maintained good quality parameters during storage and showed the best microbiological preservation in comparison with controls. Hence, the use of chitosan with licorice extract is a potential strategy to produce edible coating for improving the postharvest quality of fruits.

The interest toward alginate and nanoemulsion-based hydrogels is driven by the wide potential of application. These systems have been noticed in several areas, ranging from pharmaceutical, medical, coating, and food industries. In this investigation, hydrogels prepared through in situ calcium ion release, starting from lemongrass essential oil nanodispersions stabilized in alginate aqueous suspensions in the presence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80, were evaluated. The hydrogels prepared at different concentrations of oil, alginate, and calcium were characterized through rheological tests. Flow curves demonstrate that the hydrogels share shear thinning behavior. Oscillatory tests showed that the strength of the hydrogel network increases with the crosslinker increase, and decreases at low polymer concentrations. The hydrogels were thixotropic materials with a slow time of structural restoration after breakage. Finally, by analyzing the creep recovery data, the hydrogel responses were all fitted to the Burger model. Overall, it was demonstrated that the presence of essential oil in the proposed hydrogels does not affect the mechanical characteristics of the materials, which are mainly influenced by the concentration of polymer and calcium as a crosslinker.

The aim of this study was to investigate on an industrial scale the potential of multispectral imaging (MSI) in the assessment of the quality of different poultry products. Therefore, samples of chicken breast fillets, thigh fillets, marinated souvlaki and burger were subjected to MSI analysis during production together with microbiological analysis for the enumeration of Total Viable Counts (TVC) and Pseudomonas spp. Partial Least Squares Regression (PLS-R) models were developed based on the spectral data acquired to predict the “time from slaughter” parameter for each product type. Results showed that PLS-R models could predict effectively the time from slaughter in all products, while the food matrix and variations within and between batches were identified as significant factors affecting the performance of the models. The chicken thigh model showed the lowest RMSE value (0.160) and an acceptable correlation coefficient (r = 0.859), followed by the chicken burger model where RMSE and r values were 0.285 and 0.778, respectively. Additionally, for the chicken breast fillet model the calculated r and RMSE values were 0.886 and 0.383 respectively, whereas for chicken marinated souvlaki, the respective values were 0.934 and 0.348. Further improvement of the provided models is recommended in order to develop efficient models estimating time from slaughter.

Cable driven parallel robots (CDPRs) have many advantages such as low inertia and large workspace. These advantages lead to the industrial applications. CDPRs mainly use Dyneema polymer cable for more high sensitivity because it has advantage of the lower weight than steel wire. However, the polymer cable is continuously deformed when actuating the CDPR because of the elasto-plastic cable characteristics such as recovery. In this paper, numerical cable recovery was proposed using the modified burger model. Finally, the models were simulated and compared with the experimental profiles. As the result, the simulations are good agreement with the experimental profiles.

The study tested the short-term bending creep curves of Eucalyptus Plantation Wood under different loads, moisture contents and temperatures, analyzed the influence of load, moisture content and temperature on creep of Eucalyptus. Guided by the rheological theory, the study adopted the Burger rheological model to do the curve fitting and solved the model parameters. A defect found from Burger model in simulating long-term creep properties of wood was preliminary discussed and remedied. The equivalence of creep test and relaxation one was discussed.

The main emphasis of this paper is to identify long-term effects such as creep and creep-fatigue interaction for a typical sandwich structure incorporating FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic) faces and a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) foam core. For the creep modelling a Bürger model and a power law model are investigated and compared with experimental results. Fatigue results pertaining to a cyclic trapezoidal waveform are presented in the context of the creep-fatigue interaction. A cyclic creep model is developed in order to investigate the effect of cyclic creep deformation on a response containing elements of fatigue and creep. A simple linear damage rule separating the creep and fatigue components for the chosen cyclic waveform is used in order to quantify the relative influence of both components on the lifetime of the structure. Finally conclusions are drawn regarding the aptness of the chosen creep and creep-fatigue interaction models.

AbstractThis paper presents a physical investigation and mathematical analysis on mechanical behavior of the regular jugged discontinuity. In particular, we focus on the creep property of structural plane with various slope angles under different normal stress through shear creep tests of structural plane under shear stresses. According to the test results, the shear creep property of structural plane was described and the creep velocity and long-term strength of the structural plane during shear creep were also investigated. An empirical formula is finally established to evaluate shear strength of discontinuity and a modified Burger model was proposed to represent the shear deformation property during creep.
