Adhesion of polymer-inorganic interfaces by nanoindentation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied nanoindentation combined with atomic force microscopy to measure the fracture toughness of polystyrene/glass interfaces, and showed that fracture occurs along the polystructure/glass interface.
Influence of the Adhesive, the Adherend and the Overlap on the Single Lap Shear Strength
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the adhesive, the adherend and the overlap length on the lap joint strength was analyzed using the statistical software Statview, and it was shown that the most important variable on the surface shear strength is overlap length followed by the type of adherend.

Constitutive viscoplastic behavior of amorphous PET during plane‐strain tensile stretching
TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic stress-strain behavior of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) was analyzed in terms of a theoretical model using viscoplasticity and finite chain entropic hyperelasticity.

Wrinkling of Orthotropic Viscoelastic Membranes
Xiaowei Deng,Sergio Pellegrino +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified simulation technique for orthotropic viscoelastic films is presented, where wrinkles are detected by a combined stress-strain criterion and an iterative scheme searches for the wrinkle angle using a pseudo-elastic material stiffness matrix based on a nonlinear impedance model.

Measurement of small elastic anisotropy in solids using laser-induced ultrasonic pulses
A. C. Tam,W. P. Leung +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a single laser-induced short ultrasonic pulse propagation measurement over a path length of 47 mm provides a longitudinal ultrasonic velocity measurement accuracy of 0.02% for an extruded aluminum alloy type 6061-T6, indicating that most of the aluminum crystallites are oriented with a principal axis parallel to Z.

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.
