Thermal Shrinkage Of Oriented Polymers
M. Trznadel,M. Kryszewski +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the rate and spatial reach of molecular motions depend to a great extent on the temperature and define the number of thermal transitions observed in polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of yield and long-term failure of oriented polypropylene: kinetics and anisotropy
TL;DR: In this paper, a viscoplastic flow rule is used with an equivalent stress, based on Hill's anisotropic yield criterion, and the Eyring flow theory combined with a critical equivalent strain definition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deployment simulation of foldable origami membrane structures
TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS was used to carry out the numerical simulation of the deployment of membrane structures based on Miura-ori, by taking advantage of the variable Poisson's ratio model to revise the stress distribution of membrane elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations on High Amylose Corn Starch Films. Part 3: Stress Strain Behaviour
Herbert G. Bader,Dietmar Göritz +1 more
TL;DR: By autoclaving a watery high amylose corn starch suspension, homogenous and isotrope films were obtained with different processing parameters as discussed by the authors, which were used for investigations on the stress strain behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture behaviour of polypropylene films at different temperatures: Assessment of the EWF parameters
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture behavior of one polypropylene homopolymer and three ethylene-propylene (EPBC) block copolymers with different ethylene content (EC) at temperatures around their glass transition (Tg) is investigated by means of the essential work of fracture (EWF) method.

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.
