• Analysis of factors influencing the qualitative characteristics of equine synovial fluid 

      Tyrnenopoulou P., Diakakis N., Rizos E., Chaintoutis S., Patsikas M.N., Papadopoulou P., Aggeli A., Polizopoulou Z.S., Papazoglou L. (2021)
      The objective of the present study was to investigate the viscoelastic properties in synovial fluid between normal horses and horses with naturally occurring OA and to detect factors affecting synovial fluid viscosity. In ...
    • Constitutive modeling of porous viscoelastic materials 

      Xu, F.; Sofronis, P.; Aravas, N.; Meyer, S. (2007)
      The effect of porosity on the constitutive response of an isotropic linearly viscoelastic solid that obeys a constitutive law of the standard differential form is investigated under small strain deformation conditions. The ...
    • Elastic and viscoelastic indentation of flat surfaces by pyramid indentors 

      Giannakopoulos, A. E. (2006)
      The present work presents the results of frictionless and adhesionless contact of flat surfaces by pyramid indentors. The materials of the contacting solids were modelled as homogeneous and isotropic, linear elastic, as ...
    • Simulations of insonated contrast agents: Saturation and transient break-up 

      Tsigklifis, K.; Pelekasis, N. A. (2013)
      Under insonation contrast agents are known to perform nonlinear pulsations and deform statically, in the form of buckling, or dynamically via parametric mode excitation, and often exhibit jetting and break-up like bubbles ...
    • Viscoelastic dynamic arterial response 

      Charalambous H.P., Roussis P.C., Giannakopoulos A.E. (2017)
      Background Arteries undergo large deformations under applied intraluminal pressure and may exhibit small hysteresis due to creep or relaxation process. The mechanical response of arteries depends, among others, on their ...
