Comparison of the influence of copper micro- and nano-particles on the mechanical properties of polyethylene/copper composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of copper content and particle size on the tensile properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPE) and high-densitypolyethylene mixed with up to 25 vol.% Cu micro-particles and up to 5 vol.%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation mechanism of high-density polyethylene probed by in situ Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the microscopic mechanism of high-density polyethylene under uniaxial drawing is investigated using in situ Raman spectroscopy, and it is found that the load sharing on the polymer chain in the yielding region is anisotropic with stretching along the chain and compression perpendicular to the chain.

Laminate wrinkling scaling laws for ideal composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare experimental observations on the wrinkling of aligned fiber thermoset composites with theoretical scaling laws based on ideal kinematics (i.e. constant interfibre spacing and constant thickness).

Secondary relaxations in glassy polymers: Hydrophilic polymethacrylates and polyacrylates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the dynamics and intensity of dynamic mechanical relaxations and other methods employed for the study of molecular motions and their mechanism of energy storage, transfer and dissipation.

Properties of cryogenic and low temperature composite materials – A review
Zsombor Sápi,Richard Butler +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the literature published since 1994 related to the behavior of composite materials at low and cryogenic temperatures is presented in this article, where the material properties addressed are: tensile, compressive and shear strength, elastic modulus and stress-strain behaviour.

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.
