Molecular mobility and transitions in complex organic systems studied by shear force microscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss novel nanoscale experimental approaches involving shear forces to investigate inter- and intramolecular mobilities, and their effect on mass and electronic transport, and material deformation properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-linear viscoelastic behaviour of polymers: An implicit equation approach
TL;DR: In this paper, an implicit constitutive equation was proposed to describe the stress dependence of the relaxed and unrelaxed creep response in polyethylene terephthalate and isotropic polypropylene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creep and creep damage of glass fibre reinforced polypropylene
J. Hugo,M. Sova,J. Čižinský +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the rate of steady-state creep (which was determined by an arbitrary method) was used as a criterion for the examination of glass fibre content and fiber/matrix adhesion effects on creep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal stress in semiconductor encapsulating materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear viscoelastic analysis has been applied to a simple bilayer structure to examine molding-compound-induced stresses, and to determine the influence of the time-dependent and temperature-dependent thermomechanical properties of the molding compound.
Journal ArticleDOI
A note on the young's modulus of isotropic two-component materials☆
A.J. Owen,I. Koller +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for predicting the elastic behavior of two-phase isotropic materials, based on Takayanagi's model, but taking transverse constraints into account, is described.

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.
