TLDR
In this article, the effects of rubber content and strain rate on the elastic and plastic deformation behavior of core-shell rubber-modified epoxies were investigated and the Young's modulus and the yield stress were found to be very sensitive to the volume fraction of rubber particles.About:

Effect of core–shell rubber (CSR) nano-particles on mechanical properties and fracture toughness of an epoxy polymer
Dong Quan,Alojz Ivankovic +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a DGEBA epoxy resin cured using dicyandiamide hardener, was modified by using two types of CSR nano-particles over a range of volume fractions from 0.% to 38.%.

An experimental investigation of the large-strain tensile behavior of neat and rubber-toughened polycarbonate
TL;DR: In this paper, the large-strain tensile behavior of polycarbonate and polycarbonates filled with several volume fractions (f ) of rubber particles was studied via an optical technique.

Micromechanics and Structural Response of Functionally Graded, Particulate-Matrix, Fiber-Reinforced Composites
Guy M. Genin,Victor Birman +1 more
TL;DR: Optimal tailoring of a plate is explored, and functional grading is shown to improve the performance of the structures considered, suggesting superior blast resistance of the panel achieved at the expense of only a small increase in weight.

Finite element analysis of elastic property bounds of a composite with randomly distributed particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic properties of an E-glass particle reinforced BISGMA/TEGDMA composite were predicted by a random unit cell model and two means of tensile loading were used: iso-displacement loading and iso-stress loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toughening of dicyandiamide-cured DGEBA-based epoxy resin using MBS core-shell rubber particles
TL;DR: In this paper, core-shell rubber particles, methyl methacrylate-butadiene styrene, were added to the epoxy resin and their effect on the fracture, mechanical-physical, and thermal properties of the resins were investigated using a scanning electron microscope.

Average stress in matrix and average elastic energy of materials with misfitting inclusions
Trevor A. Mori,K Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating the average internal stress in the matrix of a material containing inclusions with transformation strain is presented. But the authors do not consider the effects of the interaction among the inclusions and of the presence of the free boundary.

Deformation and fracture behaviour of a rubber-toughened epoxy: 1. Microstructure and fracture studies
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure and fracture behavior of an unmodified and a rubber-modified epoxy have been studied and the mechanisms for this increased toughness have been considered and a mechanism that accounts for all the observed characteristics has been proposed.
