The Dynamic Mechanical Properties of some Organic Glasses
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic shear properties of two organic glasses, 2'-hydroxy- 2.4:4:6:5'-pentamethylflavan and glycerol sextol (cyclohexanol) phthalate, have been studied at frequencies between 10-4 c/s and 104c/s.

Kinematographic Study of Tensile Fracture in Polymers
A. M. Bueche,A. V. White +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high speed motion pictures were taken of silicone rubber, irradiated polyethylene, Plexiglas II, and aluminum foil while they were being broken, and the velocities with which cracks grew were compared with the results of the theories of Poncelet, Yoffe, Mott, and Roberts and Wells.

Anisotropy of Oriented Polymers
S. R. Kao,C. C. Hsiao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation-dependent anisotropic elastic characteristics of an oriented polymer are analyzed and correlated. And the results compare favorably with some available experimental data reported from dynamic measurements.

The anisotropy of the elastic constants of transversely isotropic polyethylene terephthalate
TL;DR: In this paper, amorphous polyethylene terephthalate was stretched below the glass transition temperature to various degrees of orientation and the resulting material had transverse symmetry and, according to classical elasticity theory, its elastic behaviour could be described by five independent constants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile strength of filled GR-S vulcanizates
TL;DR: The tensile strength of high and low temperature GR-S rubber vulcanizates containing various fillers have been measured as mentioned in this paper, and the results show that the theory previously presented for the tensile strengths of rubbers is correct in general concept.
