Deformation mechanisms of pure bitumen
C. Y. Cheung,David Cebon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental data for pure bitumens and simplified theoretical models for their deformation behavior are assembled into a single framework that summarizes their steady-state inelastic response to stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of ultrasonic TDR for real-time noninvasive measurement of compressive strain during membrane compaction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and application of ultrasonic time-domain reflectometry (TDR) for quantifying membrane compressive strain, which allows standard performance data including permeate flux to be simultaneously measured under realistic conditions.

Cyclic deformation behavior of an epoxy polymer. Part II: Predictions of viscoelastic constitutive models
TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results presented in Part I of this study were used to evaluate the predictive capabilities of two viscoelastic constitutive models, developed by Xia and Ellyin, is in a differential form.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the orientations of fluorescent molecules incorporated in uniaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) tapes
TL;DR: The theory of the polarized fluorescence from fluorescent molecules incorporated in an oriented solid polymer is developed for a very general model of the optical behaviour of the molecules and it is concluded that any observed intensity can be expressed in terms of the components of a fourth rank tensor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic thermal properties of solid polymers
TL;DR: The thermal conduction anisotropic thermal conductivity and diffusivity of oriented polymers originate from the difference between the thermal energy transport mechanisms parallel and perpendicular to their molecules as mentioned in this paper.

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.

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.
