Elastic extension of an oriented crystalline fibre
M. G. Northolt,R.v.d. Hout +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic extension of an oriented and crystalline fiber built up of rigid-rod chains is analyzed and a formula for the stress-strain curve is derived.

The role of recovery forces in the deformation of linear polyethylene
D. G. Fotheringham,B. W. Cherry +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the deformation of linear polyethylene is associated with the development of recoverable strain, and a technique was developed to determine the magnitude of the recovery forces.

Compaction modelling of textile preforms for composite structures
Prasad Potluri,T.V. Sagar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the compaction behavior of yarns in bending and transverse compression were measured using Kawabata Evaluation System, and used for computing the potential energy stored in individual yarn segments within a preform.

Ternary composites of polypropylene/elastomer/calcium carbonate: effect of functionalized components on phase structure and mechanical properties
Jan Kolar̆ík,Josef Jancar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated ternary composites with two phase structures: (i) ethylene-propylene elastomer (EPR) and filler are dispersed separately in polypropylene (PP) matrix; (ii) EPR encapsulates filler particles, thus forming a low-modulus interlayer between the filler and PP.

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.
