Elastic bonding

In these cases, the adhesive layers must show sufficient deformability that is guaranteed, in particular, by polyurethane adhesives. They provide the prerequisite for elastic bonding in car manufacturing with various material combinations of steel, aluminum, plastics and glass. Furthermore, the adhesive layer thicknesses are in the range of millimeters, thus occurring stresses can be relieved. 

An example of the application of elastic bonding shall be the following simplified calculation (without consideration of the temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient) regarding the stress of a GRP roof acting on the steel structure of a bus (from the book Elastic Bonding see Reference B6). 

in the case of the bonded roof able to be displaced at both ends, an alternation of length of 2.25 mm occurs at each end. The adhesive layer thickness is usually dimensioned in the same size as the total alternation of length, in this case at least 4.5 mm. Consequently, at the overlap ends the adhesive layer will be stressed to a maximum shear of 50%. 

In contrast to the relationships described in Section 10.2, the deformability of the adhesive layer and the related homogeneous stress distribution enable a simplified calculation of bonded constructions. Due the stress peaks at the overlap ends being omitted to a large extent, there is an approximate proportionality between overlap length and acting force.

The recoil-free fraction depends on the oxidation state, the spin state, and the elastic bonds of the Mossbauer atom. Therefore, a temperature-dependent transition of the valence state, a spin transition, or a phase change of a particular compound or material may be easily detected as a change in the slope, a kink, or a step in the temperature dependence of In f T). However, in fits of experimental Mossbauer intensities, the values of 0 and Meff are often strongly covariant, as one may expect from a comparison of the traces shown in Fig. 2.5b. In this situation, valuable constraints can be obtained from corresponding fits of the temperature dependence of the second-order-Doppler shift of the Mossbauer spectra, which can be described by using a similar approach. The formalism is given in Sect. 4.2.3 on the temperature dependence of the isomer shift. 

A convenient way to visualize the elastic bond between two atoms is to place an imaginary spring between the atoms, as illustrated in Figure 5.1. For small atomic deformations, either away from each other with what is called a tensile force (shown in Figure 5.1) or toward each other with what is called a compressive force (not shown), the force stored in the spring causes the atoms to return to the undeformed, equilibrium separation distance, ro, where the forces are zero (cf. Figure 1.3). Attractive forces between the atoms counteract the tensile force, and repnlsive forces between the atoms connteract the compressive forces.

At temperatures well below Tg, when entropic motions are frozen and only elastic bond deformations are possible, polymers exhibit a relatively high modulus, called the glassy modulus (Eg) which is on the order of 3 Gpa. As the temperature is increased through Tg the stiffness drops dramatically, by perhaps two orders of magnitude, to a value called rubbery modulus Er. In elastomers that have been permanently crosslinked by sulphur vulcanization or other means, the values of Er, is determined primarily by the crosslink density the kinetics theory of rubber elasticity gives the relation as... 

According to the formula (7) absorption spectrum for conductivity electrons in bulk metal should be a smooth curve down to co->0. Ag film in the near UV range demonstrates spectrum of such type. Appearance of a near UV absorption peak in a spectrum of M nanocrystal is caused by the surface charges that resulted from displacement of conductivity electrons under action of an external field. These charges create in a nanocrystal the internal field directed against external one [16]. For conductivity electrons this internal field plays a role of quasi-elastic bonds between valent electrons and cations in a crystal lattice. 

The viscoelastic fluids represent the 3rd material dass of non-Newtonian fluids. Many liquids also possess elastic properties in addition to viscous properties. This means that the distortion work resulting from a stress is not completely irreversibly converted into frictional heat, but is stored partly elastically and reversibly. In this sense, they are similar to solid bodies. The liquid strains give way to the mechanical shear stress as do elastic bonds by contracting. This is shown in shear experiments (Fig. 1.27) as a restoring force acting against the shear force which, at the sudden ending of the effect of force, moves back the plate to a certain extent. 

Molecules consist of atoms which have a certain mass and which are connected by elastic bonds. As a result, they can perform periodic motions, they have vibrational deitrees of freedom All motions of the atoms in a molecule relative to each other are a superposition of so-called normal vibrations, in which all atoms are vibrating with the same phase and normal frequency. Their amplitudes are described by a normal coordinate. Polyatomic molecules with n atoms possess 3n - 6 normal vibrations (linear ones have 3n - 5 normal vibrations), which define their vibrational spectra. These spectra depend on the masses of the atoms, their geometrical arrangement, and the strength of their chemical bonds. Molecular aggregates such as crystals or complexes behave like super molecules in which the vibrations of the individual components are coupled. In a first approximation the normal vibrations are not coupled, they do not interact. However, the elasticity of bonds does not strictly follow Hooke s law. Therefore overtones and combinations of normal vibrations appear.

Elastic bonding must exist At p > pc, the lattice must have finite elastic macromodulus becoming zero at p — pc + 0. 

Figure 23.5. In both cases, the stress prior to expansion is negative since the volume exclusion outweighs the positive contribution to the stress from the elastic bonds. During expansion, the system with very-easy-to-break bonds (curve (a)) relaxes slowly. In this case, the set of isolated clusters of particles of Type 2 prevents the elastic bonds from pulling-in from the imaginary moving barrier. The system with long-lasting bonds (curve (b)) seems to relax more rapidly initially. This is due to the initial stretching of the bonds of the percolated network of particles of Type 2, which adds an increasingly positive contribution to the stress. Since the bonds eventually break, the rapid increase in stress is halted at the point at which the percolated network breaks into two disconnected parts.
