The influence of the hybridisation configuration on the mechanical properties of hybrid self reinforced polyamide 12/carbon fibre composites
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of self-reinforced polyamide 12/carbon fiber hybrid composites made by three different hybridisation routes, termed intra-yarn, intra-layer and inter-layer, were compared.
Designing Polymer Blends using Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, and Markov Chains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new technique to simulate polymer blends that overcomes the shortcomings in polymer system modeling, which is based on the lattice fluid model of Sanchez and Lacombe.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the storage at Troom leads in PHB, PHBV8, andPHBV12 to a progressive increase in the total solid fraction and to a simultaneous physical aging of the rigid amorphous fraction.

Development of anisotropy in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
TL;DR: In this article, the drawing behavior of a pre-swollen drawn sample of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) X-ray information is expressed in terms of an orientation function P 2 ( θ ), and the increase in both P 2 and the tensile modulus are determined as a function of draw ratio.

Structural Changes in EPDM Subjected to Ageing in High Voltage Transmission Lines

TL;DR: In this article, the structural changes in aged EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) from outdoor high voltage transmission lines were studied. But the experimental data obtained from outdoor-aged and laboratory tested samples may be explained by a decrease in the degree of crystallinity due to the interaction between electrical and mechanical effects in the dielectric, based on the disentanglement of the crystallites by forces originated in the interaction of the electric field with the polar groups located in the amorphous phase of the polymer matrix.

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.
