Capturing material toughness by molecular simulation: accounting for large yielding effects and limits
Laurent Brochard,György Hantal,György Hantal,Hadrien Laubie,Franz-Joseph Ulm,Roland J.-M. Pellenq +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider two materials, a silica crystal and a nanoporous polymer, for which the process zone is about one order of magnitude larger than the one for the polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of internal stresses in coatings cured on rigid substrates and on unrestrained thin substrates
Ahmed Abdelkader,J. R. White +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the internal stresses that formed in epoxy resin coatings cured on substrates that were free-to-bend during curing were significantly higher than those in coating cured on substrate that were held flat during curing.

Effect of crystallinity level on the double yielding behavior of polyamide 6
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the crystallinity level on the double yielding behavior of polyamide 6 (PA6) material was studied by thermal treatment and the results showed that the second yield stress becomes larger than the first after the thermal treatment, contrary to the case without thermal treatment.
Diamond turning of glassy polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the modified temperature model of Hahn to diamond turning of polycarbonate polymers and found that it is not the height of Tg that determines whether optical quality can be achieved in diamond turning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexural properties and orthotropic swelling behavior of bagasse/thermoplastic composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the flexural properties of commercial bagasse-filled polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) composites were determined as a function of strain rate at room temperature.

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.
