Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) of viscoelastic materials have paved the way toward the design of increasingly complex structures. In particular, emerging biomedical applications in acoustics involve structures ...

Three layers film shaped by thermocompression of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer and polycarbonate have been analyzed in dynamic mechanical thermal analysis in tensile mode. They present two peaks as the film is ...

Manufacturing processes significantly influence microstructural variations in short fiber reinforced composites, which affect damage characteristics and fatigue life. Accurate fatigue life prediction is critical, especially ...

Background In vivo mechanical characterisation of biological soft tissue is challenging, even under moderate quasi-static loading. Clinical application of suction-based methods is hindered by usual assumptions of tissues ...
