Conduction plane conductivity

The presence of surface conductance behind the slip plane alters the relationships between the various electrokinetic phenomena [83, 84] further complications arise in solvent mixtures [85]. Surface conductance can have a profound effect on the streaming current and electrophoretic mobility of polymer latices [86, 87]. In order to obtain an accurate interpretation of the electrostatic properties of a suspension, one must perform more than one type of electrokinetic experiment. One novel approach is to measure electrophoretic mobility and dielectric spectroscopy in a single instrument [88]. 

Mech nic lF tig ue. Some mechanical fatigue tests have been conducted on explosion-clad composites where the plane of maximum tensile stress is placed near the bond 2one (30). 

Physical Properties. Most of the physical properties discussed herein depend on the direction of measurement as compared to the bedding plane of the coal. Additionally, these properties vary according to the history of the piece of coal. Properties also vary between pieces because of coal s britde nature and the crack and pore stmcture. One example concerns electrical conductivity. Absolute values of coal sample specific conductivity are not easy to determine. A more characteristic value is the energy gap for transfer of electrons between molecules, which is deterrnined by a series of measurements over a range of temperatures and is unaffected by the presence of cracks. The velocity of sound is also dependent on continuity in the coal. 

Especially at low temperatures, the thermal conductivity can often be markedly reduced by even small traces of impurities. This table, for the highest-purity specimens available, should thus be used with caution in apphcations with commercial materials. From Perry, Engineeiing Manual, 3d ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1976. A more detailed table appears as Section 5.5.6 in the Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, Hemisphere Pub. Corp., Washington, DC, 1983. f Parallel to basal plane. 

Grady and Asay [49] estimate the actual local heating that may occur in shocked 6061-T6 Al. In the work of Hayes and Grady [50], slip planes are assumed to be separated by the characteristic distance d. Plastic deformation in the shock front is assumed to dissipate heat (per unit area) at a constant rate S.QdJt, where AQ is the dissipative component of internal energy change and is the shock risetime. The local slip-band temperature behind the shock front, 7), is obtained as a solution to the heat conduction equation with y as the thermal diffusivity...
