linear viscoelastic behavior
21Glass transition — The liquid glass transition (or glass transition for short) is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber like state …
22Hagfish — For the punk rock band, see Hagfish (band). Hagfish Pacific hagfish resting on the ocean bottom, at 280 m depth off the Oregon coast. Scientific classification Kingdom …
23Kelvin-Voigt material — A Kelvin Voigt material, also called a Voigt material, is a viscoelastic material having the properties both of elasticity and viscosity. It is named after the British physicist and engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin and after German… …
24Optical tweezers — (originally called single beam gradient force trap ) are scientific instruments that use a highly focused laser beam to provide an attractive or repulsive force (typically on the order of piconewtons), depending on the refractive index mismatch… …
25Glass transition temperature — The glass transition temperature, T g, is the temperature at which an amorphous solid, such as glass or a polymer, becomes brittle on cooling, or soft on heating. More specifically, it defines a pseudo second order phase transition in which a… …
26Fluid — A fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. All liquids and all gases are fluids. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas and, to some extent, plastic… …
27Shore durometer — Two inline skates wheels with different durometer 85A and 83A. Durometer is one of several measures of the hardness of a material. Hardness may be defined as a material s resistance to permanent indentation. The durometer scale was defined by… …
