Thermodynamic and viscous behaviour of undercooled liquids
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gibbs free energy difference between the undercooled liquid and the corresponding equilibrium solid phases and the viscosity (η) of the under cooled liquid are key variables in the metastable solidification of glass-forming melts.

Chromatic and Rheological Characteristics of Clear Road Binders
Filippo Merusi,Felice Giuliani +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated three clear asphalt pavements with different chemical formulations with the aim of establishing the effectiveness of their mechanical properties and chromatic characteristics and found that all clear binders have specific dependence on stress levels, time, and temperatures.

Processing/property relationships of a thermotropic copolyester: 2. Correlations between tensile properties and orientation
Douglas E. Turek,George P. Simon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between tensile properties and macromolecular orientation of a thermotropic copolyester of hydroxybenzoic acid and hydroxynaphthoic acid was investigated with respect to their differing processing histories.

Orientation of the diphenylene propane unit in stretched polycarbonate from two-dimensional magic-angle-spinning NMR
TL;DR: In this paper, two-dimensional magic-angle-spinning (2D-MAS) NMR has been used to measure the orientation parameter, P2, of the diphenylene propane unit in bisphenol-A polycarbonate oriented by stretching to various extension ratios, atT=295K and T= 403 K.

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.
