Anisotropic gels and plasticized networks formed by liquid crystal molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, two component mixtures containing liquid crystalline diacrylates and liquid crystal molecules with no reactive groups were made, and upon photopolymeriz-ation of the mixtures anisotropic networks containing liquid-crystal molecules which were not chemically attached to the networks were created.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical milling as a technology to produce structural and functional bio-nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent literature on the use of mechanical milling as a green technique to produce bio-nanocomposites is presented, and it is demonstrated how this technology could be considered an interesting option for the fabrication of novel nanostructured materials from environmental friendly resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved hyperelasticity relation in modeling viscoelasticity response of natural and high damping rubbers in compression: experiments, parameter identification and numerical verification
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified hyperelastic model is proposed to represent the rate-independent elastic responses including the high initial stiffness feature in high damping rubber at low stretch level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study on thermal and mechanical behavior of polypropylene, talc/polypropylene and polypropylene/clay nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, thermal and mechanical properties of polypropylene nanocomposite were evaluated and a three-parameter nonlinear constitutive equation was developed to describe strain rate depend strain softening behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creep behavior of bagasse fiber reinforced polymer composites
TL;DR: The TTS principle more accurately predicted the creep response of the PVC composites compared to the HDPE composites, and the four-element Burgers model and the two-parameter power law model fitted creep curves of the composites well.

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.
