Mechanical properties of solid polymers

I. M. Ward
TLDR
A concise, self-contained introduction to solid polymers, the mechanics of their behavior and molecular and structural interpretations can be found in this article, which provides extended coverage of recent developments in rubber elasticity, relaxation transitions, non-linear viscoelastic behavior, anisotropic mechanical behavior, yield behavior of polymers and other fields.
Abstract
A concise, self-contained introduction to solid polymers, the mechanics of their behavior and molecular and structural interpretations. This updated edition provides extended coverage of recent developments in rubber elasticity, relaxation transitions, non-linear viscoelastic behavior, anisotropic mechanical behavior, yield behavior of polymers, breaking phenomena, and other fields.

Modelling of strain rate effects on matrix dominated elastic and failure properties of unidirectional fibre-reinforced polymer-matrix composites

TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological-based, strain rate dependent failure theory was proposed for the numerical modeling of unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs).

Practical and scientific aspects of injection molding simulation

Peter Kennedy
TL;DR: A submitted manuscript is the version of the article upon submission and before peer-review as mentioned in this paper, while a published version is the final layout of the paper including the volume, issue and page numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling of Nonlinear Hysteresis in Elastomers under Uniaxial Tension

TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive model for both quasi-static and dynamic deformations of a viscoelastic rod is proposed. And the constitutive laws are nonlinear and contain hysteresis through a Boltzmann superposition integral term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of temperature and load on the creep performance of CNT reinforced laminated glass fiber/epoxy composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the creep properties of glass fiber/epoxy (GE) composite, and GE composites modified with 0.1 wt.% pristine carbon nanotube (PCNT-GE) and 0. 1
Book ChapterDOI

Constitutive behavior modeling and fractional derivatives

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal that fractional calculus allows a physically sound generalization of classical models from the linear theory of viscoelasticity from a mathematical point of view, the operation of fractional integrodifferentiation is well defined and can be easily handled in Fourier or Laplace space.

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.
