I. M. Ward
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
A concise, self-contained introduction to solid polymers, the mechanics of their behavior and molecular and structural interpretations. This updated edition provides extended coverage of recent developments in rubber elasticity, relaxation transitions, non-linear viscoelastic behavior, anisotropic mechanical behavior, yield behavior of polymers, breaking phenomena, and other fields.

Etude des propriétés électriques des élastomères silicones utilisés pour l'isolation électrique

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse les proprietes dielectriques and electriques, peu connues, dans ces polymeres and find that they are deja largement utilises dans l'isolation electrique exterieure grâce a la bonne tenue aux contraintes climatiques and a la hydrophobicite.

Study of the necking phenomenon in fiber drawing by infrared thermography

TL;DR: In this article, a new technology is described in which infrared thermography is used to investigate the necking phenomenon in the fiber drawing process, and the change of temperature and diameter during the fiber necking process has been determined accurately online by an infrared camera with 18μm close-up lens.

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.
