Cross-fracturing

Figures 9d,e show aqueous dispersions of vesicles. The smaller the vesicles, the less probable is an upcoming cross-fracture. Thus the question whether the vesicle is uni- or multilamellar can hardly be answered. At least for fluid vesicle dispersions it is possible to solve the problem with the help of cryotransmission electron microscopy.

One horizontal axis (xj or X2) is the axis of symmetry and then the material is called TIH. In the case of vertical fractures, elastic properties are uniform in vertical plane parallel aligned fractures, but vary in perpendicular fractures/crossing fractures (see, for example, Armstrong et al., 1994). 

Microbiological damages of linen, jute and other bast fibers and fabrics are manifested by separate staining (occurrence of splotches of color or fiber darkening) and putrefactive odor. On damaged bast fibers, microscopic cross fractures and chips, and microholes and scabs in the fiber walls are observed. 

The AUGUR information on defect configuration is used to develop the three-dimensional solid model of damaged pipeline weldment by the use of geometry editor. The editor options provide by easy way creation and changing of the solid model. This model is used for fracture analysis by finite element method with appropriate cross-section stress distribution and external loads.

Elastomeric Modified Adhesives. The major characteristic of the resins discussed above is that after cure, or after polymerization, they are extremely brittie. Thus, the utility of unmodified common resins as stmctural adhesives would be very limited. Eor highly cross-linked resin systems to be usehil stmctural adhesives, they have to be modified to ensure fracture resistance. Modification can be effected by the addition of an elastomer which is soluble within the cross-linked resin. Modification of a cross-linked resin in this fashion generally decreases the glass-transition temperature but increases the resin dexibiUty, and thus increases the fracture resistance of the cured adhesive. Recendy, stmctural adhesives have been modified by elastomers which are soluble within the uncured stmctural adhesive, but then phase separate during the cure to form a two-phase system. The matrix properties are mosdy retained the glass-transition temperature is only moderately affected by the presence of the elastomer, yet the fracture resistance is substantially improved. 

Alkanolamine Chelates. Alkanolamine chelates, which are prepared by reaction of tetraalkyl titanates with one or more alkanolamines, are used primarily in cross-linking water-soluble polymers (qv) (see Alkanolamines) (104). The products are used in thixotropic paint emulsion paints, in hydrauhc fracturing and drilling of oil and gas wells, and in many other fields. The stmcture of... 

Tetraalkyl titanates react with organic borates, B(OR )2, to give complexes of the general formula Ti(OR)4 B(OR )2, which are useful as catalysts and cross-linking agents (562). Mixtures of chelated organic titanates such as TYZOR TE and TYZOR LA with alkaU metal borates, such as borax, or boric acid can be used to produce shear-stable fracturing fluids (563). 

It is clear from examination of the fracture surface and weld cross sections that the weld was improperly formed, resulting in an irregular plane of unbonded metal. The smoothly rippled, spherical contours in some regions of the fractured area are evidence of solidification of the weld metal along a free surface that was not in contact with the plate. Substantial porosity is apparent.
