The term r Vf in Equation (3.71) can be interpreted as a reduced fiber-volume fraction. The word reduced is used because q 1. Moreover, it is apparent from Equation (3.72) that r is affected by the constituent material properties as well as by the reinforcement geometry factor To further assist in gaining appreciation of the Halpin-Tsai equations, the basic equation. Equation (3.71), is plotted in Figure 3-39 as a function of qV,. Curves with intermediate values of can be quickly generated. Note that all curves approach infinity as qVf approaches one. Obviously, practical values of qV, are less than about. 6, but most curves are shown in Figure 3-39 for values up to about. 9. Such master curves for various vaiues of can be used in design of composite materiais.

The above equations allow us to solve for Tc, 7), Tan, Tca, Nh2, Nh2o- No2 (bars have been dropped) as a function of time. As in the model of the prior section, an additional assumption is needed namely, that the Tumped internal conditions for the anode and cathode gases will be the average of the inlet and outlet values. The given parameters for this analysis are all the cell design parameters (geometry, materials, properties, etc.), the input temperatures, pressures, mass flow, and compositions of the anode and cathode gases, and the load current on the cell. Such a simple set of coupled ordinary differential equations is readily solved via Matlab-Simulink, and a sample case is presented in Section 9.5. 

While establishing molecular networks for cocrystal design and determining crystal structures is very important, the value of cocrystals of pharmaceutical components lies in the ability to tailor the functionality of materials. In contrast to polymorphs that have the same chemical composition, cocrystals do not. As such, one would expect that with cocrystals one could introduce greater changes in material properties than with polymorphs. Properties that relate to pharmaceutical performance and that can be controlled by cocrystal formation include melting point, solubility, dissolution, chemical stability, hygroscopicity, mechanical properties, and bioavailability. The cocrystals for which pharmaceutical properties have been studied are few and some of these are presented below. Clearly further research in this area is needed. 

Proof stress is the stress to cause a specified permanent extension, usually 0.1%. The maximum allowable stress specified by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code is calculated from these and other material properties at the design temperature, and allows for suitable safety factors. The basis for establishing maximum allowable stress values is discussed in Chapter 13 and is described in detail in the ASME BPV Code Section 11 Part D, Mandatory Appendix 1. 

In addition to the BPV Code Sec. VIII, the process design engineer will frequently need to consult Section II Part D, which lists maximum allowable stress values under Sec. VIII D.l and D.2, as well as other materials properties. A comprehensive review of the ASME code is given by Chuse and Carson (1992) and Yokell (1986) see also Perry and Green (1997). 

At the glass transition temperature (Tg), a thermoplastic material changes from a glassy state to a rubbery state. The properties of the material also change significantly. Tg values most often listed for polymers correspond to stiffening temperatures [3], The coefficient of thermal expansion usually doubles below Tg for these materials. Materials above the 7 , may be functional, but the performance may become unpredictable because most thermoplastic components are designed based on properties tested below 7 ,. 

The application of linear elastic fracture mechanics is in principle straightforward, albeit at times very complicated in application. Say, for example, a structural element is to be constructed of a given material. The value of (or Kj ) can be determined from tests on standard specimens or perhaps obtained from handbooks of materials properties. If the designer can now perform a stress analysis for the part under the loads in question for its... 

The force required to propagate a starter tear in the specimen is recorded in the course of the standard test procedures. The tear. strength is expressed either as the maximum value (alternatively the average value) of the tearing force recorded or as the maximum force (alternatively the average force) per specimen thickness (in kN/m). The information from these standard tests, while useful for quality control and acceptance testing, does not produce a fundamental material property suitable for design applications.
