Dynamic viscoelastic properties of brown rice kernels were investigated using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). In order to meet the sample requirements for the DMA and prevent moisture loss of rice kernels during the DMA measurements, necessary precautions were taken. To prevent moisture loss of rice kernels during the DMA measurements at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 120 degrees centigrade, rice kernels were wrapped with a thin layer of sealing film. Then the wrapped rice kernels were additionally covered with an aluminum foil. Two ends of the wrapped brown rice kernels were cut with a razor blade; subsequently both ends of the cut rice kernels were filed using fine sandpaper to produce near cylindrical rice kernels with parallel ends. The storage modulus of the rice kernels decreased with increasing temperature and moisture content. The loss modulus and the tan delta ( loss factor) of the rice kernels as a function of temperature showed clear peaks, which are associated with the glass transition of rice kernels. Two rice varieties had been investigated, and the results showed that the dynamic viscoelastic properties of these rice samples were not significantly different. The glass transition temperatures for the long-grain rice kernels with the moisture contents of 17.4, 13.8, and 10.9 wt.% were determined as 45, 58, and 66 degrees centigrade, respectively.

Li, Qian; Lİ, Dong; Wang, Li-jun; Özkan, Necati; Mao, Zhi-huai (2010-02-11)
The relaxation, creep, temperature-dependence and frequency-dependence characteristics of sweet potato roots were evaluated using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The sweet potato was cut into rectangular to meet the testing requirements and wrapped with sealing film or aluminum foil to prevent water loss. The temperature scanning tests were carried out at 2 degrees C/min and 10 degrees C/min in the temperature range of 30-100 degrees C, and the frequency sweep tests were conducted in a range of 50-0.1 ...
Study on Creep Properties of Japonica Cooked Rice and Its Relationship with Rice Chemical Compositions and Sensory Evaluation
Chang, Su-qiang; Li, Dong; Lan, Yubin; Özkan, Necati; Shi, John; Chen, Xiao Dong; Mao, Zhi-huai (2009-01-01)
Creep properties of four varieties japonica cooked rice were tested using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA Q800). The creep curve was described by Burgers model. The creep process of japonica cooked rice mainly consisted of retarded elastic deformation, epsilon R and viscous flow deformation, epsilon V, and negligible instantaneous elastic deformation, epsilon E. The retarded elastic modulus, E-2, relaxation time, tau, and the viscosity coefficient, eta 1, of the cooked rice according to the Burger model ...
Dynamic analysis of CMUTs in different regimes of operation
Bayram, Barış; Ergun, AS; Yaralioglu, GG; Khuri-Yakub, BT (2003-01-01)
This paper reports on dynamic analysis of an immersed single capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) cell transmitting. A water loaded 24 mum circular silicon membrane of a transducer was modeled. The calculated collapse and snapback voltages were 80 V and 50 V, respectively. The resonance frequency, output pressure and nonlinearity of the CMUT in three regimes of operation were determined. These regimes were: a) the conventional regime in which the membrane does not make contact with the subs...
Microstructure and nanomechanical behavior of sputtered CuNb thin films
Abboud, Mohammad; Motallebzadeh, Amir; Duygulu, Özgür; Maaß, Robert; Özerinç, Sezer (2021-09-01)
We report on the mechanical properties of Cu–Nb alloys produced by combinatorial magnetron sputtering. Depending on the composition, the microstructure is either fully amorphous (~30–65 at.% Cu), a dispersion of Cu crystallites in an amorphous matrix (~70 at.%), or a dominant crystalline phase with separated nanoscale amorphous zones (~80 at.% Cu). Nanomechanical probing of the different microstructures reveals that the hardness of the fully amorphous alloy is much higher than a rule of mixture would predic...
3d modeling of on-chip acoustophoretic particle manipulation in a polymer microfluidic device
Çaǧatay, E.; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Çetin, B. (2016-01-01)
This study focuses on understanding of the sensitivities of the acoustophoretic process on uncertainties/errors in the geometric properties of the chip material and the piezoelectric actuators. The sensitivity of the acoustophoretic process is investigated both numerically and experimentally. For the numerical simulations a three dimensional finite element model is used. In the experimental analysis, a microfluidic chip with two stations is used. The first station has the accurate geometric values of the de...
