Structure and properties of polyethyleneterephthalate crystallized by annealing in the highly oriented state
E. W. Fischer,Stoyko Fakirov +1 more
TL;DR: The structure of polyethyleneterephthalate bristles drawn about five times in the amorphous state and subsequently crystallized at temperatures between 100 and 260 C has been studied by means of small-angle X-ray scattering as mentioned in this paper.

Yield conditions for deformation of amorphous polymer glasses.
Jörg Rottler,Mark O. Robbins +1 more
TL;DR: This work test the onset of shear is consistent with the pressure-modified von Mises criterion, and the pressure coefficient is nearly independent of many parameters under triaxial loading conditions that are difficult to realize in experiments.

Viscoelastic effects on the scratch resistance of polymers: relationship between mechanical properties and scratch properties at various temperatures
Vincent D. Jardret,Pierre Morel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined and analyzed scratch parameters that relate to mechanical properties, and showed that the characteristic strain applied by the indenter is a most relevant parameter to describe the fracture resistance during a scratch process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of polyurethanes as char‐forming agents in polypropylene intumescent formulations
TL;DR: In this article, the fire retardancy of polypropylene (PP)/ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/ammonium polyphosphate (APP) intumescent blends, using TPU with different chemical compositions, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional, finite deformation, viscoplastic constitutive models for polymeric materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a general methodology for developing 3D constitutive models for polymeric materials is presented, where a spring and dashpot construction is used as a starting point for the development of a 3D, finite deformation, viscoplastic constitutive model which also exhibits typical polymeric behavior.

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.
