A non-linear viscoelastic model to describe the mechanical behavior's evolution of biodegradable polymers during hydrolytic degradation
Quentin Breche,Quentin Breche,Grégory Chagnon,Grégory Chagnon,Guilherme Machado,Benjamin Nottelet,Xavier Garric,Edouard Girard,Edouard Girard,Denis Favier,Denis Favier +10 more
TL;DR: The adaptive quasi-linear viscoelastic model is adapted to degradation and a physically motivated model is used to describe the degradation parameter at every degradation step, which is very accurate to fit the mechanical curves at every strain during degradation.

Experimental Tests on Tubular Bonded Butt Specimens: Effect of Relief Grooves on Tensile Strength of the Adhesive
TL;DR: In this article, a tubular bonded butt specimen with relief grooves carved close to the adherend-adhesive interface is used to assess the strength of a thin adhesive layer, as usually occurs in structural bonded joints.

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.
