The connection between the elastic behaviour of an aggregate and a single crystal is considered, with special reference to the theories of Voigt, Reuss, and Huber and Schmid. The elastic limit under various stress systems is also considered, in particular, it is shown that the tensile elastic limit of a face-centred aggregate cannot exceed two-thirds of the stress at which pronounced plastic distortion occurs.

The Elastic Behaviour of a Crystalline Aggregate

Changes in portlandite morphology with solvent composition: Atomistic simulations and experiment

A concise, self-contained introduction to solid polymers, the mechanics of their behavior and molecular and structural interpretations. This updated edition provides extended coverage of recent developments in rubber elasticity, relaxation transitions, non-linear viscoelastic behavior, anisotropic mechanical behavior, yield behavior of polymers, breaking phenomena, and other fields.

Mechanical properties of solid polymers

The purpose of the present survey is to review the analysis of composite materials from the applied mechanics and engineering science point of view. The subjects under consideration will be analysis of the following properties of various kinds of composite materials: elasticity, thermal expansion, moisture swelling, viscoelasticity, conductivity (which includes, by mathematical analogy, dielectrics, magnetics, and diffusion) static strength, and fatigue failure.

Analysis of Composite Materials—A Survey

The velocity of compressional waves has been determined by measurement of travel time of pulses in specimens of rock at pressures to 10 kilobars and room temperature. Most of the samples, mainly igneous and metamorphic rocks, furnished three specimens oriented at right angles to one another. The present paper gives experimental details, modal analyses, and numerical tables of velocity as function of direction of propagation, initial density, and pressure. Discussion of various aspects of the measurements is reserved for part 2.
