Non-newtonian rheology on curved circular squeeze films using the Rabinowitsch fluid model
This session focuses on understanding material behaviour through mechanical evaluation, characterization and testing. It covers strength, deformation, fatigue, fracture, wear, failure analysis, microscopy, spectroscopy, imaging, surface analysis, non-destructive testing and assessment of reliability or durability.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Experimental researchers, testing laboratories, engineers, computational specialists and industry professionals are invited to participate. Abstracts may discuss analytical methods, testing standards, structure–property relationships, performance evaluation and integrated approaches for identifying defects, improving quality and predicting material behaviour under service conditions.

Non-newtonian rheology on curved circular squeeze films using the Rabinowitsch fluid model
Squeeze film lubrication plays a crucial role in many mechanical systems such as gear mechanisms, thrust bearings, artificial joints, and clutch plates. Classical lubrication studies often assume…
A semi-analytical method is developed to determine the response of a thin rectangular plate made of a general viscoelastic material to the excitation of a moving inertial load. The governing equation…
Components operating under elevated temperature are often subjected to cyclic type of loading, rendering crack growth due to creep–fatigue conditions, a significant concern during the design and…
The works of the famous Russian (Soviet) scientist A.A. Ilyushin, combining mechanical intuition, theoretical research and original experiments, continue to influence the mechanics of deformed…
Elementary plastic deformation events (dislocation avalanches, mechanical, martensitic transformation, etc.) are typically concealed in the deformation curves as the curves provide only “average…
My lab has developed a new technique to noninvasively measure the elastic and viscous properties of synthetic and natural polymers using infrared light and acoustic sound applied transversely to the…
