## Abstract Calf pericardium, similar to that used in the manufacturing of prosthetic valve cusps, was fatigue tested. After six batches of 100 cycles of 1 MPa of loading pressure, half of the samples broke. The mean energy dissipated in the first cycle by the surviving samples was 0.16 J, which is

This paper presents initial results from an extensive study on the calculation of the surface free energy of mineral materials. The usefulness of such evaluation is demonstrated through the technological operation of casting and moulding concrete. Surface interactions will firstly act on the dispers
Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) was originated as a tool for performing fluid dynamics simulations of complex fluids and among other things has been used to simulate dilute polymer solutions. This report describes a new application of the technique-modeling the adsorption of colloidal particles
