On the characterization of tensile creep resistance of polyamide 66 nanocomposites. Part II: Modeling and prediction of long-term performance
TL;DR: Yang et al. as mentioned in this paper used a viscoelastic creep model named Burgers and an empirical method called Findley power law to predict the long-term behavior of polyamide 66 nanocomposites.

Finite deformation of a polymer: experiments and modeling
Akhtar S. Khan,Haoyue Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a phenomenalogical viscoelasto-plastic constitutive model is presented to represent the observed time dependent mechanical behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular response of a glassy polymer to active deformation
TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of a glassy polyethylene-like polymer undergoing active compressive deformation was investigated via molecular dynamics simulation, and several important features can be identified within the stress-strain response of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glass transitions and the fracture behaviour of gluten and starches within the glassy state
TL;DR: In this article, a twin-screw cooker extruder was used to extrude granular particles of gluten, wheat starch, and waxy maize starch, conditioned to a range of moisture contents.
Journal ArticleDOI
A visco-hyperelastic approach to modelling the constitutive behaviour of rubber
TL;DR: In this paper, a visco-hyperelastic constitutive equation is proposed to describe the large deformation response of incompressible rubber under high strain rates, which is able to aptly describe viscohype-relastic behaviour of rubber-like materials under high deformation rates.

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.
