We compute the shear modulus of structural glasses from a first-principles approach based on the cloned liquid theory. We find that the intrastate shear modulus, which corresponds to the plateau modulus measured in linear viscoelastic measurements, strongly depends on temperature and vanishes continuously when the temperature is increased beyond the glass temperature.

Capsules, which are potentially-active fluid droplets enclosed in a thin elastic membrane, experience large deformations when placed in suspension. The induced fluid-structure interaction stresses can potentially lead to rupture of the capsule membrane. While numerous experimental studies have focused on the rheological behavior of capsules until rupture, there remains a gap in understanding the evolution of their mechanical properties and the underlying mechanisms of damage and breakup under flow.

When underground tunnels in coal mines traverse geological structurally abnormal zones (faults, collapse columns, fractured zones, etc.), excavation-induced unloading leads to instability and failure of the engineering rock mass. Rock masses in fractured zones are in elastic, plastic, and post-peak stress states, and the process of excavation through these zones essentially involves unloading under full stress paths.

A dysphagia diet is a special dietary programme. The development and design of foods for dysphagia should consider both swallowing safety and food nutritional quality. In this study, we investigated the rheological properties (viscosity, thixotropy, and viscoelasticity), textural properties, and swallowing behaviour of commercially available natural, pregelatinised, acetylated, and phosphorylated maize starch and tapioca starch.

Asphalt modified with treated waste tires has good environmental protection and application value. However, the nano-modification mechanism of crumb rubber (CR) with asphalt is still unclear. This research investigates the mechanism, aging, and interfacial interaction with the aggregate of CR modification asphalt (CRMA).
