Structure/property relationships for a series of crosslinked aromatic/aliphatic epoxy mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between crosslink density, a measure of network microstructure, and both primary (Tg) and secondary (Tβ) thermal transitions, and found that Tg varied linearly with cross-link density whereas Tβ depended on the chemical composition of the network.

Effect of additive phosphorus-nitrogen containing flame retardant on char formation and flame retardancy of epoxy resin
TL;DR: In this article, a novel polymeric flame retardant poly (pentaerythritol phosphate phosphinic acyl piperazine) (PPAP) was synthesized successfully.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the low-cycle fatigue behavior of visco-hyperelastic elastomeric materials using a new network alteration theory: Application to styrene-butadiene rubber
TL;DR: In this paper, a network alteration theory was proposed to capture the time-dependent mechanical response of elastomeric materials under fatigue loading, and this until failure, and the experimental results demonstrate that the evolution of the normalized maximum stress only depends on the damage rate endured by the material during the fatigue loading history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ternary polymer blend with core–shell dispersed phases: effect of the core-forming polymer on phase morphology and mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this paper, phase morphology and mechanical properties of ternary blends consisting of polystyrene, SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) and different polyolefins (POs) have been studied.

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.
