Stress-strain behaviour of physically ageing polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of physical ageing on the Young's modulus, yield stress, yield strain and stress-strain relationship of glassy polymers in uniaxial compression were derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulus development in oriented short-glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composites
TL;DR: In this article, a simple law-of-mixtures model is used to demonstrate that perfect uniaxial orientation of the fibers is not achieved, but a better fit to measured modulus data is obtained by using an aggregate model applied to oriented fibers in an oriented matrix.
BookDOI
Mechanical properties of solid polymers : constitutive modelling of long and short term behaviour
TL;DR: A submitted manuscript is the version of the article upon submission and before peer-review as mentioned in this paper, while a published version is the final layout of the paper including the volume, issue and page numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscosity of cryoprotective agents near glass transition: a new device, technique, and data on DMSO, DP6, and VS55.
TL;DR: The low strain-rate viscosity of glass-forming cryoprotective agents (CPAs) in the vicinity of the glass transition is studied experimentally, and a new measurement device is presented, in which a solid rod is pulled from a long narrow cup containing a CPA, producing an essentially one-dimensional and isothermal field of flow.

Ion-conductivity and Young's modulus of the polymer electrolyte PEO–ammonium perchlorate
Minakshi Maitra,M. Sinha,Anoop Kumar Mukhopadhyay,Tapas Ranjan Middya,Udayan De,Sujata Tarafdar +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an equivalent circuit is proposed taking the deformability and the effect of change in free volume into account, which yields the dc ion-conductivity as well as the Young's modulus from these results.

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.
