We redevelop a theoretical model that, in conjunction with atomic force microscopy (AFM), can be used as a noninvasive method for determination of the elastic modulus of a polymer nanodroplet residing ...

Analysis of the parameters of prisms with and without mortar: Figs. 3a and 3b show the stress-strain curves for the prisms produced without and with mortar, respectively.It should be noted that the ...

The mechanical properties of arterial walls have long been recognized to play an essential role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Early detection of variations in the ...

Abstract: The interfacial breakdown between two dielectric surfaces was reported to represent one of the leading causes of failure for power cable joints and connectors, in which elastic modulus of ...
