Material properties of polymeric liquids are of great importance for different technological processes. Particularly, such liquids demonstrate viscoelastic behavior in non-stationary transportation regimes, widely used in polymer processing, which influence the operation of the equipment. The paper is devoted to the modeling of pressure transient in a long thin-walled elastic tube with polymeric liquid. As distinct to previous results of the authors, material properties of the liquid are described by generalized Maxwell rheological equation accounting for a spectrum of relaxation times. It is supposed that the pressure pulse is generated at the tube end and propagates along the waveguide with the speed influenced by the tube geometry and wall elasticity, and the liquid compressibility and viscoelasticity. The problem is formulated in a quasi-one-dimensional approximation and solved by the operational method. The resulting relation for the pressure in the wave is inverted numerically. Effect of liquid relaxation time distribution on the pressure pulse propagation is studied. The results are relevant for the dynamic operation of equipment for polymer processing; they can be useful also for material characterization of high-molecular liquids.

Today, materials designed for bone regeneration are requested to be degradable and resorbable, bioactive, porous, and osteoconductive, as well as to be an active player in the bone-remodeling process. Multiphasic silica/collagen Xerogels were shown, earlier, to meet these requirements. The aim of the present study was to use these excellent material properties of silica/collagen Xerogels and to process them by additive manufacturing, in this case 3D plotting, to generate implants matching patient specific shapes of fractures or lesions. The concept is to have Xerogel granules as active major components embedded, to a large proportion, in a matrix that binds the granules in the scaffold. By using viscoelastic alginate as matrix, pastes of Xerogel granules were processed via 3D plotting. Moreover, alginate concentration was shown to be the key to a high content of irregularly shaped Xerogel granules embedded in a minimum of matrix phase. Both the alginate matrix and Xerogel granules were also shown to influence viscoelastic behavior of the paste, as well as the dimensionally stability of the scaffolds. In conclusion, 3D plotting of Xerogel granules was successfully established by using viscoelastic properties of alginate as matrix phase.

Abstract Anisotropic composite materials have been extensively utilized in mechanical, automotive, aerospace and other engineering areas due to high strength-to-weight ratio, superb corrosion resistance, and exceptional thermal performance. As the use of composite materials increases, determination of material properties, mechanical analysis and failure of the structure become important for the design of composite structure. In particular, the fatigue failure is important to ensure that structures can survive in harsh environmental conditions. Despite technical advances, fatigue failure and the monitoring and prediction of component life remain major problems. In general, cyclic loadings cause the accumulation of micro-damage in the structure and material properties degrade as the number of loading cycles increases. Repeated subfailure loading cycles cause eventual fatigue failure as the material strength and stiffness fall below the applied stress level. Hence, the stiffness degradation measurement can be a good indication for damage evaluation. The elastic characterization of composite material using mechanical testing, however, is complex, destructive, and not all the elastic constants can be determined. In this work, an in-situ method to non-destructively determine the elastic constants will be studied based on the time of flight measurement of ultrasonic waves. This method will be validated on an isotropic metal sheet and a transversely isotropic composite plate.

The acoustic or sonic pulse-propagation technique for the measurement of dynamic elastic modulus has the advantage of not being dependent on the sample cross-sectional characteristics. This technique also gives a direct measure of modulus rather than the indirect measure in the form of load versus extension. The sonic tests are relatively simple to apply and are nondestructive. The values of sonic modulus of fibrous structures are dependent on the orientation of components and packing density as well. The main aim of this work is to quantify effect of yarn twist on the sonic modulus of staple yarns from polypropylene fibers. The results are compared with selected models of yarn twist influence on the mechanical properties of staple yarns. The correlation between yarn orientation factor defined by Pan and sonic modulus are shown. The sonic modulus is compared with tensile modulus of yarns.
