Creep Behaviors Along Characteristic Crystal Orientations of Sn and Sn-1.8Ag by Using Nanoindentation
The creep mechanisms of Sn and Sn-1.8Ag along specific orientations are investigated by the constant-strain-rate nanoindentation method. Due to the anisotropy of Sn, the mechanical behaviors could be very dif...

Mathematical modelling of axonal microtubule bundles under dynamic torsion
Owing to its viscoelastic nature, axon exhibits a stress rate-dependent me- chanical behavior. An extended tension-shear chain model with Kelvin-Voigt viscoelas- ticity is developed to illustrate the micromech...
