This is Mooney s equation for the stored elastic energy per unit volume. The constant Ci corresponds to the kTvel V of the statistical theory i.e., the first term in Eq. (49) is of the same form as the theoretical elastic free energy per unit volume AF =—TAiS/F where AaS is given by Eq. (41) with axayaz l. The second term in Eq. (49) contains the parameter whose significance from the point of view of the structure of the elastic body remains unknown at present. For simple extension, ax = a, ay — az—X/a, and the retractive force r per unit initial cross section, given by dW/da, is... 

A simple extension of the competition technique is to the comparison of scavenger efficiencies. Thus pairs of spin traps have been allowed to compete for a variety of radicals, including t-butoxyl, phenyl, and primary alkyl. Much more revealing, however, is the type of experiment in which the bimolecular trapping of a radical is allowed to compete with some other reaction of that radical whose absolute rate constant is known. In this way, the rate constant for the trapping reaction itself is accessible. 

The system is sketched in Fig. 3.1 and is a simple extension of the CSTR considered in Example 2.3. Product B is produced and reactant A is consumed in each of the three perfectly mixed reactors by a first-order reaction occurring in the liquid. For the moment let us assume that the temperatures and holdups (volumes) of the three tanks can be different, but both temperatures and the liquid volumes are assumed to be constant (isothermal and constant holdup). Density is assumed constant throughout the system, which is a binary mixture of A and B. 

We see that the relative change of entropy and internal energy at constant pressure is independent of the degree of twisting. This conclusion differs from that obtained for simple extension or compression. The entropic and energetic components in torsion are identical with the result for simple deformation. Equations (60) and (61) lead to the conclusion that there can be no thermomechanical inversions of heat and internal energy in torsion. 

A simple extension of the constant acceleration approximation was later introduced which gave results that agree rather well with the measured spectral profiles and moments [71]. The model has no free parameters although the required value of the derivative of the potential may be used as an adjustable parameter if desired. The computational efforts are minor and the extended constant acceleration approximation should be useful for all types of short-range induction components. 

The above discussion of Equations 2 and 3 has been predicted on the assumption of harmonic frequencies for all 3N modes. More realistically, these are at best described as slightly anharmonic frequencies which we approximate with an effective harmonic force field. For lattice frequencies in particular, anharmonicity is expected to be important here it arises both from the anharmonic curvature in the potential and from the expansion of the lattice on warming. Consequently, the force constants used to describe the lattice modes become temperature dependent. The approach amounts to a simple extension of the ideas at the basis of the pseudoharmonic theory of solid lattices (2, 3) to the condensed phases which interest us. One phenomenological result of such anharmonicity is that Equation 3 now takes the form ... 

When the strain rate, s, is maintained constant, the deformation obtained is called steady simple extension or steady uniaxial extension (Dealy, 1982) and the extensional viscosity, is related to the normal stress difference ... 

Figure 1. Pulse sequences used to monitor the heteronuclear NOE (bottom panel) and the spin lattice relaxation (top panel). The NOE experiment is a simple extension of the basic pulse sequence introduced by Kay et al. (1989) and utilizes continuous broadband H decoupling during the preparation period to generate the NOE. Two dimensional spectra with and without H decoupling (lightly shaded region) define the NOE. The T, relaxation experiment is a simple extension of the basic pulse sequence introduced by Sklenar et al. (1987). The NOE via H decoupling rather than coherent polarization transfer is used to polarize the carbons. For both the NOE and T, measurement, the proton pulse 0 (or the delay of the corresponding reverse INEPT) is set to the magic angle as described by Palmer et al. (1991). The constant time period, A, is set to minimize cos(n [27i J + 27t Jo,]). When x is set to l/2 Jc then 2A = - 1/2 J( ...

If is independent of time, the flow is steady simple extension, and since this is a motion with constant stretch history, it should be associated with a material function in which times does not appear as an independent variable. For an axially symmetric flow, the stress is also symmetric with... 

The treatment of mechanical deformation in elastomers is simplified when it is realized that the Poisson ratio is almost 0.5. This means that the volume of an elastomer remains constant when deformed, and if one also assumes that it is essentially incompressible (XjXjXj = 1), the stress-strain relations can be derived for simple extension and compression using the stored energy fimction w. 

We now consider heuristically the more general case of a film of dielectric constant m bounded by infinite half-spaces of dielectric constants i and 2, as shown in Fig. 5.3. A simple extension of the ideas presented above for the interaction of two molecules in a medium indicates that the Hamaker constant A is related to the product (ti - m) 2 — tm). There are several cases of interest ... 

To make anisotropic networks, the linear chains have to be ordered prior to the crosslink reaction. This orientation can be achieved in the melt state under strain by simple extension. The crosslinking reaction is performed in a two-step process. In the first step, a well-defined weak network is synthesized, which is deformed with a constant load to induce the network anisotropy. The load has to exceed the threshold load which is necessary to obtain a uniform director orientation. In the second step, a second crosslinking reaction occurs and locks in the network anisotropy. This procedure is shown schematically in Figure 9.12. 

This analysis turns out to be a simple extension of that for the deflection of a linear elastic cantilever. Young s modulus is replaced by the appropriate viscoelastic counterpart—in this case the tensile stress relaxation modulus. That this is the appropriate viscoelastic property to be employed can be thought of as arising from the fact that, when the cantilever is subjected to constant deflection, every element of it is subjected to a constant tensile strain (i.e. to tensile stress relaxation conditions). 

Direct RKR inversion of vibrationally and rotationally resolved spectroscopic data for diatomics is now a fairly routine procedure. In normal RKR applications, however, the spectral data are exploited in a relatively limited fashion. One simply uses B(v) and E(v), the rotational constant and term value dependence on vibrational quantum v, respectively, to infer the inner and outer classical turning points at each v from a semiclassical analysis. In high resolution spectroscopy of van der Waals complexes, however, there is often far more rotational than vibrational data available. Consequently extensive information exists on very high order centrifugal effects on the radial coordinate, sometimes up to, and by virtue of centrifugal barriers, beyond the dissociation limit The hope is that a simple extension of RKR ideas might be able to extract a 1-D potential directly from rotational data alone. 

The most general kinetic scheme for a three-state system is the so-called photokinetic triangle (Scheme 15.10), described by Eqs. (15.48-15.50) (these are simple extensions of Eqs. (15.24—15.26). The decays are sums of three exponential terms (Eq. 15.49), and the kinetics involves nine unknowns (six reaction rate-constants and three reciprocal lifetimes). 

The early versions of the statistical theory of rubber elasticity assumed an affine displacement of the average positions of the network junctiOQs with the macroscopic strain This is tantamount to the assertion that the network Junctions are firmly embedded in the medium of which they are part. The elastic equation of state derived on this basis for simple extension at constant volume takes the familiar neo-Hookean form, i.e. Eq. (7), with... 

The statement in connection with equations 56 and 57 that simple extension gives the same information as simple shear is limited not only to materials with n very near i but also to small deformations. With large deformations and/or large rates of deformation, the two types of strain show very different behavior. For example, in steady-state flow, the apparent shear viscosity (ratio of stress to rate of strain) commonly decreases with increasing rate of strain, whereas the apparent elonga-tional viscosity may remain constant or increase. Some examples will be shown in Chapters 13 and 17. 

For deformation in simple extension at constant rate of (practical) strain e, for which <7(r) is replaced by E(t), Smith has pointed out that it is convenient to deflne a constant-strain-rate modulus F(t) = This is related to the relaxation...

At small deformations, viscoelastic information can in principle be obtained from stress-strain measurements at a constant strain rate, as shown for shear deformations in equations S6 to S9 of Chapter 3. Such experiments are often made in simple extension, but the deformations can become rather large so there are marked deviations from linear viscoelastic behavior. The most commonly used instrument is the Instron tester other carefully designed devices have been described. - The sample is usually a dumbbell or a ring. In the former case, the strain in the narrow section as checked by separations of several fiducial marks can be calculated from the separation between the clamps by a suitable multiplication factor. In... 

Pressure corollary. This author (Chin, 1978) provided a simple extension of Milne-Thomson s result, which is applicable to the reservoir flow modeling of fractures and wells. Suppose it is desired to introduce, in an existing flow, the same circle but now having zero (that is, constant) boundary pressure our objective is the construction of the complex potential describing the new combined flow. To do this, define the augmented complex potential...
