Melt Crystallization and Morphology of Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) under High Pressure
TL;DR: In this paper, the melting temperature and melting enthalpy of high-pressure crystallized poly(p-phenylene sulfide) samples were investigated using WAXD, DSC, TEM and SEM.

Force Prediction for Incremental Forming of Polymer Sheets.
TL;DR: This work presents two procedures for predicting axial force in Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) of polymer sheets using a numerical model based on the Finite Element Model (FEM), which considers a hyperelastic-plastic constitutive equation, and a simple semi-analytical model that extends the known specific energy concept used in machining.

Theory for the plastic deformation of glassy polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, Boyce et al. present a theory to account for how a stress field can induce plastic flow in glassy polymers, and they consider a molecular model in which chains are constituted from isotropic oriented elementary links embedded in a deforming continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization and stability in damageable amorphous solids
TL;DR: De Tommasi et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the influence of the microstructure properties on the damage behavior of amorphous materials and observed the possibilities of uniform or localized damage and strain geometries with a macroscopic behavior that may range from brittle to ductile or rubber-like.

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.

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.
