Mechanical properties of solid polymers
TLDR
A concise, self-contained introduction to solid polymers, the mechanics of their behavior and molecular and structural interpretations can be found in this article, which provides extended coverage of recent developments in rubber elasticity, relaxation transitions, non-linear viscoelastic behavior, anisotropic mechanical behavior, yield behavior of polymers and other fields.Abstract:

Internal friction in solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors trace the development of ideas and techniques from that period to the present, using the flow of heat across vibrating reeds (and the corollary Gorsky effect), Snoek effect in interstitial alloys, and the Zener effect in substitutional alloys.
Dissertation
Dégradation thermique et fluage d'un adhésif structural epoxyde
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the degradation thermique and the fluage of an adhesif structural EA 9689 and propose a schema reactionnel de degradation thermiques impliquant different mecanismes moleculaires.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed mechanical response in modified asphalt binders. Characteristics, modeling and engineering implications
TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of different rheometrical approaches to evaluate the damage-related properties of modified asphalt binders at high service temperatures is presented, and the concept of intrinsic resistance to non-reversible deformation is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniaxial tensile behavior of sheet molded composite car hoods with different fibre contents under quasi-static strain rates
Josh Kelly,Mohsen Mohammadi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of strain, strain rates, and volume fraction of fibres were used to predict the composite deformation in majority of cases, while some error was found in tensile properties of SMC composites with lower volume fractions and high strain 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.
