Time and temperature effects on geomembrane strain from a gravel particle subjected to sustained vertical force
TL;DR: In this article, a 1.5 mm thick polyethylene geomembrane with a compressible clay liner was used to predict tensile strain from gravel indentations, and the predicted strain of 19% was very close to the measured strain of 18%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular processes in polymer electrets
TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative theory of polymer chain dynamics is provided by the reptation model in which a polymer chain moves in a snake-like motion parallel to its own contour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber spinning, structure, and properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-4,4'-bibenzoate) copolyesters
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-4,4'-bibenzoate) random copolymers with 5-65 mol % bibenzosate (BB) units was determined by 13 C solution NMR.

The Determination of the Elastic Field of an Ellipsoidal Inclusion, and Related Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yielding of steel sheets containing slits
TL;DR: In this article, a relation between extent of plastic yielding and external load applied was investigated, and panels containing internal and edge slits were loaded in tension and lengths of plastic zones were measured.
