Fractional Time Fluctuations in Viscoelasticity: A Comparative Study of Correlations and Elastic Moduli

Abstract

Abstract:We calculate the transverse velocity fluctuations correlation function of a linear and homogeneous viscoelastic liquid by using a generalized Langevin equation (GLE) approach. We consider a long-ranged (power-law) viscoelastic memory and a noise with a long-range (power-law) auto-correlation. We first evaluate the transverse velocity fluctuations correlation function for conventional time derivativesĈ NF − → k , t and then introduce time fractional derivatives in their equations of motion and calculate the corresponding fractional correlation function. We find that the magnitude of the fractional correlationĈ F − → k , t is always lower than the non-fractional one and decays more rapidly. The relationship between the fractional loss modulusis also calculated analytically. The difference between the values of G (ω) for two specific viscoelastic fluids is quantified. Our model calculation shows that the fractional effects on this measurable quantity may be three times as large as compared with its non-fractional value. The fact that the dynamic shear modulus is related to the light scattering spectrum suggests that the measurement of this property might be used as a suitable test to assess the effects of temporal fractional derivatives on a measurable property. Finally, we summarize the main results of our approach and emphasize that the eventual validity of our model calculations can only come from experimentation.

Enhancement of Gingival Tissue Adherence of Zirconia Implant Posts: In Vitro Study

“…The BEST method of the post-processing results foresees an application of the time convolution integral to harmonic stress input [ 21 , 24 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], which in general results in the non-linear equation for dynamic strain as function of time t , frequency ω and stress σ dyn : where C ω is the dynamic viscostiffness (quasi-property in units of kPa·s α ), α—dynamic material memory parameter (unitless). This equation is valid for any system and it does not require postulation of any model of the material, nor does it require linear elasticity or viscoelasticity assumptions to be valid [ 30 ].…”

“…Due to the non-linear behavior of the materials, a model-free idempotent analysis [ 25 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] has been applied comprising the time-convolution of the stress input lined to the observed deformation. Experimental stress and strain data are always some functions F(x,t) of time and spatial coordinates, and these functions have their respective Laplace transforms.…”

“…Experimental stress and strain data are always some functions F(x,t) of time and spatial coordinates, and these functions have their respective Laplace transforms. Hence, there should be a general mathematical solution [ 25 ] with the convolution integral [ 33 , 34 ]. It is known that convolution integrals do not in general have a closed analytical form, however, they can be obtained as such for the simple loading (stimulation) patterns, for example, creep, linear ramp, or harmonic case [ 25 ].…”

“…Nutting, Gemant and Scott-Blair et al [15][16][17] first proposed the fractional derivative models to study the constitutive relation of viscoelastic materials and the research on the viscoelastic materials with fractional derivative is also increasing, and so far, it is still a research hotspot [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Rodr Guez et al calculated the correlation function of transverse wave in linear and homogeneous viscoelastic liquid by the Generalized Langevin Equation (GLE) method and the influence of fractional correlation function on the dynamic behavior of the system is analyzed [26]. Bagley and Torvik used fractional calculus to study the dynamic behavior of viscoelastic damping structure and the responses of the system under general load as well as step load are analyzed respectively [27,28].…”
