Airflows inside passenger cars and implications for airborne disease transmission
Varghese Mathai, Asimanshu Das, Jeffrey A. Bailey +1
Transmission of highly infectious respiratory diseases, including SARS-CoV-2 are facilitated by the transport of tiny droplets and aerosols (harboring viruses, bacteria, etc.) that…
Nonlinear modeling and characterization of ultrasoft silicone elastomers
Asimanshu Das, Kenneth S. Breuer, Varghese Mathai
We introduce a strain-energy based nonlinear hyper-elastic formulation to model the material properties of ultrasoft dielectric elastomers over a wide range of elastic properties,…
Measuring the viscoelastic behavior of dilute polymer solutions using high-speed statistical particle microrheology
Zijie Qu, Xiongfeng Yi, Kenneth S. Breuer
The viscoelastic behavior of polymer solutions is commonly measured using oscillating shear rheometry, however, the accuracy of such methods is limited by the oscillating frequency…
Effects of shear thinning viscosity and viscoelastic stresses on flagellated bacteria motility
Zijie Qu, Kenneth S. Breuer
The behavior of flagellated bacteria swimming in non-Newtonian media remains an area with contradictory and conflicting results. We report on the behavior of wild-type and smooth-s…
