Review of experimental characterisation and modelling of asphalt binders at low temperature
TL;DR: Asphalt binder represents the main constituent of asphalt paving mixtures and the functional performance and durability of asphalt pavements strongly depend on the rheological and mechanical proper tie... as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the Longitudinal Mechanical Properties of High-performance Fibres
TL;DR: In this paper, a micro-composite is used to measure the stress-strain property of the aramid and carbon fibres in longitudinal compression, which is a uniaxial fiber and epoxy-resin composite of cylindrical shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiaxial yield behaviour of polypropylene
TL;DR: In this article, a best-fit Drucker-Prager yield function was applied to the experimental yield stresses and an average error between the predictions and the measurements of 7 % was obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical entropy model for relaxation in stressed polymer glasses
TL;DR: The theorie cinetique moleculaire au voisinage de la transition vitreuse basee sur l'existence d'une distribution du volume libre est etendue pour incorporer les effets de la contrainte and de la vitesse de contraintes as discussed by the authors.

Influence of structural defects on viscoelastic properties of poly(propylene)
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the storage modulus in the glassy state may be decreased by 30% (shear modulus or 15% (tensile modulus) relative to the defect-free state.

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.
