Deformation Studies

The relationship between chemical composition, structure and properties for the copolymers has been described in det elsewhere [68,69]. In general it is found that the glass transition temperature T, and the Young s modulus increase with hard segment content and heat treatment temperature. It was found that the material with the optimum composition and properties had a value of T, of 80°C and a Young s modulus (isotropic) of 1.7 GPa, both of which are typical of a conventional glassy polymer.

Raman band. This shift is a clear indication of stress transfer from the polyether-urethane matrix to the diacetylene-urethane hard segments, and shows that this stress is translated into direct deformation of the polydiacetylene chains. Broadening of the bands suggests that a distribution of stresses is developed within the non-uniform hard segment domains during deformation.

The constant Tr is called the Trouton ratio10 and has a value of 3 in this experiment with an incompressible fluid in the linear viscoelastic limit. The elongational behaviour of fluids is probably the most significant of the non-shear parameters, because many complex fluids in practical applications are forced to extend and deform. Studying this parameter is an area of great interest for theoreticians and experimentalists.

Adsorption of oppositely charged SDS on preadsorbed PE layer resulted in the surface overcharge. The bilayer deformation study showed the increase in deformation values as a result of SDS adsorption, hence the anionic surfactant caused swelling of the preadsorbed layer.

Anisotropy in the upper mantle is primarily attributed to the preferred alignment of olivine and, to a lesser extent, the alignment of other upper-mantle minerals. Evidence comes from measurements on mantle xenoliths (Mainprice Silver 1993 Ben Ismail Mainprice 1998) and ophiolites (Nicolas Christensen 1987) and laboratory deformation studies (Zhang Karato 1995). These measurements help guide the interpretation of seismic observations. It is conventionally assumed that the anisotropy is c.4-5% in magnitude and has hexagonal symmetry with a horizontal synunetry axis (azimuthal anisotropy) (Mainprice Silver 1993). Numerical simulations of the lattice preferred orientation...

Figure 29.6 shows an example of one of the 2D droplet deformation studies carried out specifically for the purpose of modeling the LnCT by Sarchami et al. [9]. The flow conditions for this case are more extreme than can be handled by the theoretical methods for droplet deformation. As the figure shows, not only can these types of results be used to obtain information about jet deformation and trajectory, but they also provide an estimate for the size of the droplets and ligaments that form due to shear breakup at the tips of the elongated cross section. They also show the pattern of the flow field around the droplet. Of particular interest are the double vortices that form behind the droplet and help stretching it out and into a thin shape. The formation of these vortices can play an important role in the secondary atomization processes of the droplets formed in the lee-side of the jet (2D drop).

In general, IR absorption is caused by the interaction between the IR electric field vector and the molecular dipole transition moments related to the molecular vibrations. Absorption is at a maximum when the electric field vector and the dipole transition moment are parallel to each other. In the case of perpendicular orientation, the absorption is zero. Directional absorptions are measured using polarised light. The terms parallel and perpendicular refer to the orientation of the polarised beam with respect to a reference axis. For deformation studies, the reference axis corresponds to the stretching direction. 

High-temperature creep deformation of synthetic forsterite crystals, as studied by Darot and Gueguen [162], occurred by (010) [100] sUp, which is apparently the preferred slip system. This same slip system was detected around Vickers indents produced at temperatures of 600 °C and above by Gaboriaud et al. (163, 164], who used natural olivine single crystals from San Carlos, Arizona (110) [001] slip was also activated. There have been many other extensive deformation studies of the olivine minerals (e.g., see Kohlstedt and Ricoult [165] and Poumellec and Jaoul [166]).
