I. M. Ward
TLDR
A concise, self-contained introduction to solid polymers, the mechanics of their behavior and molecular and structural interpretations can be found in this article, which provides extended coverage of recent developments in rubber elasticity, relaxation transitions, non-linear viscoelastic behavior, anisotropic mechanical behavior, yield behavior of polymers and other fields.
Abstract
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.

Electric field processing to control the structure of titanium oxide/sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) hybrid proton exchange membranes

TL;DR: In this paper, an external AC electric field is applied to a sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK)-titanium (IV) oxide (TiO2) hybrid casting solution during solvent evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A viscoelastic damage model for nanoparticle/epoxy nanocomposites at finite strain: A multiscale approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a physically based constitutive model for BNP/epoxy nanocomposites undergoing finite strain is presented, which allows capturing the main features of the stress-strain relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deformation and failure maps for PMMA in uniaxial tension

TL;DR: In this paper, tensile tests were performed on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) grade over a range of temperatures near the glass transition and over two decades of strain rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homogenized properties of periodic n-component composites

TL;DR: In this article, the effective modules method based on the assumption that the scale between periodicity cell and the whole composite tends to 0, is now extended on the general composites and applied for the linear elastostatics as well as linear potential field problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and biocompatibility of highly oriented poly(lactic acid) film produced by biaxial solid hot stretching

TL;DR: In this article, a high-dimensional long-chain-branched poly(lactic acid) (LCB-PLA) film was fabricated through biaxial hot stretching in solid state.

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.
