Izod impact strength of polystyrene-based blends containing low molecular weight polybutadiene
TL;DR: In this article, the impact strength of low molecular weight polybutadiene pools dispersed within the glassy matrix of high impact polystyrene (HIPS)/polystyrene blends or acrylonitrile-butadieni-poly-structure (ABS)/poly styrene blends was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creep of thermoplastic polyurethane reinforced with ozone functionalized carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the mechanical behavior of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filled with ozone-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and found that the ozone functionalization of MWCNTs could improve their dispersion and interfacial adhesion to the TPU matrix.

Mechanical properties of nano-silica particulate-reinforced epoxy composites considered in terms of crosslinking effect in matrix resins
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of nano-silica particulate-reinforced epoxy composites with different crosslinking densities were clarified experimentally to consider the interaction effects between nano-particles and the network structure in matrix resin.

Stress relaxation in a polymer melt of freely‐rotating chains
J. Gao,J. H. Weiner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the non-bonded interactions are primarily responsible for the anisotropic stress during a stress relaxation process in a dense polymer melt, and they show that this result is not due to the idealized character of the chain models, but due to a more realistic model, namely that representing a freely-rotating chain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of stress state and temperature on secondary relaxations in polymeric glasses
TL;DR: In this paper, the components of the complex tensile modulus E∗, Poisson's ratio v∗, shear modulus G∗ and bulk modulus K∗ have been determined at 21°C in the frequency range 10−2 to 107 Hz for PMMA and rigid PVC.

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.

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.
