While processing at elevated temperatures, starchy food products undergo gelatinization, which leads to softening related changes in textural characteristics. Study of role of gelatinization in texture development is limited; specifically,…
Recently reported results on the long lifetime of the tungsten samples under high temperature and high stress conditions expected in the Neutrino Factory target have strengthened the case for a solid target option for the Neutrino Factory.…
The Young's modulus of graphene is investigated through the intrinsic thermal vibration in graphene which is `observed' by molecular dynamics, and the results agree quite well with the recent experiment [Science \textbf{321}, 385 (2008)].…
The mechanical characteristics of fibers (of various materials), as well as of fiber bundles, are of primary importance for the design and the mechanical behavior of textiles, or of fibrous and composite materials. These characteristics are…
The hardness of materials plays an important role in material design. There are numerous experimental methods to measure the hardness of materials, but theoretical prediction of hardness is challenging. By investigating the correlation…
A granular assembly composed of a collection of identical grains may pack under different microscopic configurations with microscopic features that are sensitive to the preparation history. A given configuration may also change in response…
The Young's modulus of a two-dimensional truss-like structure is simulated by using the finite element method. A power-law expression is proposed for the effective Young's modulus of the system. The obtained numerical results are compared…
Compliance is a useful parametrization of tactile information that humans often utilize in manipulation tasks. It can be used to inform low-level contact-rich actions or characterize objects at a high-level. In robotic manipulation,…
The mechanical response, serviceability, and load bearing capacity of materials and structural components can be adversely affected due to external stimuli, which include exposure to a corrosive chemical species, high temperatures,…
The Young\'s modulus of a nylon string has been determined experimentally by combining elasticity theory and wave optics. A diffraction experiment has been setup to determine the change in the string diameter for different tensile forces…
We measured Young's modulus at temperatures ranging from 20 to 100 ^{\circ}$C for a collagen fibril taken from rat's tendon. The hydration change under heating and the damping decrement were measured as well. At physiological temperatures…
Wetting and drying phenomena are studied for flexible and semiflexible polymer solutions via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations. The study is based on the use of Young's equation for the…
We have calculated a quantitative measure of information of experimentally determined temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) frequencies of texture attributes, for a set of diverse samples throughout the mastication cycle. The samples were…
An ultrasound measurement system was employed as a non-destructive method to evaluate its reliability in predicting the tensile strength of tablets and investigate the benefits of incorporating it in a continuous line, manufacturing solid…
The Young's modulus $E$ is the key mechanical property that determines the resistance of solids to tension/compression. In the present work, the correlation of the quantity $E$ with such characteristics as the total molar mass $M$ of alloy…
In this paper, we show that bending of spaghetti beams and columns exposed to hot steam reveals the time evolution of young modulus, the diffusion coefficient of water molecules penetrating the spaghetti, the partial Fickian behavior of…
The rheological parameters of materials are determined in the industry according to international standards established generally on the basis of widespread techniques and robust methods of estimation. Concerning solid polymers and the…
Texture shapes how we perceive and like food, yet clear links between mechanical measurements and sensory perception of texture remain elusive. Here we combine sensory data from a blind tasting with 101 participants with mechanical texture…
Nonlinear elastic properties of polymers and polymeric composites are essential for accurate prediction of their response to dynamic loads, which is crucial in a wide range of applications. These properties can be affected by strain rate,…
Fermented dairy products, including yogurt, are widely consumed for their nutritional and health benefits. While numerous methods exist to monitor and understand yogurt fermentation, the literature lacks an integrated evaluation of diverse…
