Transient absorption microscopy is used to examine the breathing modes of single gold nanowires in highly viscous liquids. By performing measurements on the same wire in air and liquid, the damping contribution from the liquid can be separated from the intrinsic damping of the nanowire. The results show that viscous liquids strongly reduce the vibrational lifetimes but not to the extent predicted by standard models for nanomaterial-liquid interactions. To explain these results a general theory for compressible viscoelastic fluid-structure interactions is developed. The theory results are in good agreement with experiment, which confirms that compressible non-Newtonian flow phenomena are important for vibrating nanostructures. This is the first theoretical study and experimental measurement of the compressible viscoelastic properties of simple liquids.

Accurate replication of soft tissue properties is essential for the development of car crash test dummy skin to ensure the precision of biomechanical injury data. However, the intricacy of multi-layer soft tissue poses challenges in standardizing the development and testing of dummy skin materials to emulate soft tissue properties. This study presents a comprehensive testing and analysis of the compressive mechanical properties of both single and multi-layered soft tissues and car crash dummy skin materials, aiming to enhance the biofidelity of dummy skin.

Background: Vertebral fractures in young populations are associated with intervertebral disc disorders later in life. However, damage to the annulus fibrosus has been observed in rapidly loaded spines even without the subsequent occurrence of a fracture. Therefore, it may not be the fracture event that compromises the disc, but rather the manner in which the disc is loaded.

School of Physical and Health Education, Nipissing University, North Bay, Ontario, Canada.
Objectives: Repeated gripping with high grip forces and high rates of grip force development are risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome. As the nerve's adaptive ability is crucial to prevent disease progression, we investigated how these risk factors influence median nerve deformation and displacement over the time course of a repeated pinch grip task.
Methods: Seventeen healthy participants performed a repeated grip task against a load cell while their carpal tunnel was scanned with ultrasound.
Viscoelastic Behavior of Cellular Biomaterials Based on Octet-Truss and Tetrahedron Topologies.
