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:

Image-based mechanical characterization of soft tissue using three dimensional ultrasound
TL;DR: In this article, a physically-based visco-elastic constitutive model of the liver response is developed and its material parameters are estimated within the proposed inverse modeling framework, relying on conventional indentation testing along with real-time three dimensional ultrasound imaging of the internal tissue deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A small-angle neutron scattering study of the plastic deformation of linear polyethylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of partial melting-recrystallization during the solid-state deformation of the polymer in pure shear was investigated and it was shown that the major reorganization and homogenization occur at low strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anomalous increase in modulus upon hydration in random copolymers with hydrophobic segments and hydrophilic blocks
TL;DR: The modulus was found to increase upon water uptake in polymers in which hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments were incorporated randomly into a chain of hydrophobic segments of 3,5-diiodo desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine ethyl ester.

Model filled rubber. II. Particle composition dependence of suspension rheology
Jianfen J. Cai,Ronald Salovey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a network structure was formed consisting of particles with an immobilized polymer layer on the particle surface with each particle floc acting as a temporary physical crosslinking site.

The stress intensity for an edge crack in a semi-infinite orthotropic body
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the problem of edge crack in a semi-infinite plane of linear elastic orthotropic material and derived the correction factor which relates the stress intensity factor for this problem to that for an isolated crack in an infinite body.

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.
