A new technique for the characterization of viscoelastic materials: theory, experiments and comparison with DMA
Elena Pierro, Giuseppe Carbone
In this paper we present a theoretical and experimental study aimed at characterizing the hysteretic properties of viscoelastic materials. In the last decades viscoelastic material…

Damping control in viscoelastic beam dynamics
Elena Pierro
Viscoelasticity plays a key role in many practical applications and in different reasearch fields, such as in seals, sliding-rolling contacts and crack propagation. In all these co…

Thermal fuctuations and dynamic modelling of a dAFM cantilever
Elena Pierro, Francesco Bottiglione, Giuseppe Carbone
We discuss the Brownian thermal noise which affects the cantilever dynamics of a dAFM (dynamic atomic force microscope), both when it works in air and in presence of water. Our sco…
