Mechanical relaxation in isotactic polypropylene
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the glass-rubber β-relaxation as a function of temperature has been carried out for isotactic polypropylene over a wide frequency range (10−2−107 Hz) at temperatures between −10°C and 50°C.

Elastic moduli and visco-elastic relaxation.
TL;DR: The elastic moduli of dental biomaterials are discussed in relation to the various intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can influence the magnitude of these parameters and hence the extent of modulus-matching with oral tissues.

Zipping dielectric elastomer actuators: characterization, design and modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on miniature dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) operating in zipping mode with an analytical model that predicts their behavior, which allows them to obtain much larger out-of-plane displacements compared to silicon thanks to the softness of the elastome membrane.

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.

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.

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.
