Structural and mechanical properties of a polyethylene-based thermoplastic elastomer
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal behavior, mesomorphic structure and thermomechanical properties of a hydrogenated poly triblock polymer have been investigated in relation to the morphogenesis conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniaxial Extension and Order Development in Flexible Chain Polymers
Roger S. Porter,Li-Hui Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that most polymers, including those with rigid backbone chains, have tensile moduli far below those of their crystalline lattice in the chain direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical γ and β relaxations in polyethylene—I. Glass transitions of polyethylene
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution analysis of the mechanical γ relaxation of a linear polyethylene has been carried out by means of high resolution mechanical spectrometry, which was completed by quantitative measurements of the morphological parameters governing the characteristics of the β relaxation, such as the crystallinity index and the crystalline lamellar thickness distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of dendrimers and of randomly built branched polymers
C. von Ferber,A. Blumen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of disorder on the relaxation of dendrimers and randomly built branched polymers has been investigated in both the Rouse and Zimm framework, and it is shown that both the randomness and angular restrictions slow down the relaxation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic deformation and fatigue behavior of polyether ether ketone (PEEK)
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatigue behavior of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyether ether ketone (PEEK) was investigated and the frequency influence on the strain-controlled fatigue lives of unfilled PEEK specimens was found to be highly dependent on strain level.

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.
