Principles of polymer engineering
TLDR
In this article, the elastic properties of polymeric solids and their properties of rubber are discussed. But they focus on the structure of the molecule rather than the properties of the solids.Abstract:
Introduction. 1: Structure of the molecule. 2: Structure of polymeric solids. 3: The elastic properties of rubber. 4: Viscoelasticity. 5: Yield and fracture. 6: Reinforced polymers. 7: Forming. 8: Design. Further reading, Answers, Indexread more

Creep of the contact with a spherical tip and recovery of the imprint on amorphous polymer surfaces
Thibaud Chatel,Christian Gauthier,Hervé Pelletier,V. Le Houerou,Damien Favier,Robert Schirrer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the creep and recovery occurring on the surface of an amorphous polymer during indentation, a characteristic of the self-healing performance of the material, was performed using a home made experimental device which allows one to record in situ the evolution of the imprint created by a probe.
Prediction of soil reinforcement loads in mechanically stabilized earth (mse) walls.
TL;DR: In this article, the K sub 0 Stiffness (KSS) method was proposed for estimating reinforcement loads in geosynthetic and steel reinforced MSE walls, where the stiffness of the various wall components and their influence on reinforcement loads were considered.
Development of a new method for assessing asphalt binder performance durability
C. J. Glover,Richard R. Davison,Chris H. Domke,Yonghong Ruan,Pramitha Juristyarini,Daniel B. Knorr +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) function which correlates well with ductility was coupled with a new aging procedure in a tentative specification which should guard against failure caused by premature asphalt hardening and consequent fatigue cracking.

Time and temperature effect on the linear–nonlinear viscoelastic transition threshold of a polymeric system
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition of a polymeric material from the linear to the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior and the determination of nonlinearity stress threshold variation with time and temperature are investigated.

Single-Mode Polymer Optical Fiber Sensors for Large Strain Applications
TL;DR: In this article, an intrinsic, singlemode, polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor for use in large-strain applications such as civil infrastructures subjected to earthquake loading or systems with large shape changes such as morphing aircraft is presented.
