Elastic Outer Boundary

In this section, two randomly distributed particles inside the micelle are considered which can either escape from the micelle or undergo geminate recombination. To generate a time for the recombination, it is necessary to sample from Eq. (9.10) subject to the correction in the mutual diffusion equation as given in Eq. (9.30). For reaction with the outer boundary, Eq. (9.21) isused to generate the two possible event

Partially Plastic Thick-Walled Cylinders. As the internal pressure is increased above the yield pressure, P, plastic deformation penetrates the wad of the cylinder so that the inner layers are stressed plasticady while the outer ones remain elastic. A rigorous analysis of the stresses and strains in a partiady plastic thick-waded cylinder made of a material which work hardens is very compHcated. However, if it is assumed that the material yields at a constant value of the yield shear stress (Fig. 4a), that the elastic—plastic boundary is cylindrical and concentric with the bore of the cylinder (Fig. 4b), and that the axial stress is the mean of the tangential and radial stresses, then it may be shown (10) that the internal pressure, needed to take the boundary to any radius r such that is given by... 

It can be seen that uniaxial tension or compression lies on the two axes. Inside the box (outer boundaries) is the elastic range of the material. Yielding is predicted for stress combinations bv the outer line. 

Suppose that a thin film is bonded to one surface of a substrate of uniform thickness hs- It will be assumed that the substrate has the shape of a circular disk of radius R, although the principal results of this section are independent of the actual shape of the outer boundary of the substrate. A cylindrical r, 0, z—coordinate system is introduced with its origin at the center of the substrate midplane and with its z—axis perpendicular to the faces of the substrate the midplane is then at z = 0 and the film is bonded to the face at z = hs/2. The substrate is thin so that hs R, and the film is very thin in comparison to the substrate. The film has an incompatible elastic mismatch strain with respect to the substrate this strain might be due to thermal expansion effects, epitaxial mismatch, phase transformation, chemical reaction, moisture absorption or other physical effect. Whatever the origin of the strain, the goal here is to estimate the curvature of the substrate, within the range of elastic response, induced by the stress associated with this incompatible strain. For the time being, the mismatch strain is assumed to be an isotropic extension or compression in the plane of the interface, and the substrate is taken to be an isotropic elastic solid with elastic modulus Es and Poisson ratio Vs the subscript s is used to denote properties of the substrate material. The elastic shear modulus /Xg is related to the elastic modulus and Poisson ratio by /ig = Es/ 1 + t s). 

Note that in Eqs.

Collapse and Bursting Pressure. If the pressure is sufficiently large to push the plastic—elastic boundary to the outer surface of the cylinder so that the fibers at that surface yield, then there is nothing to restrain the wad, and the cylinder is said to codapse. With an ideal material which does not work harden the codapse pressure, P, sometimes caded the full plastic flow pressure, the full overstrain pressure or the full thickness yield pressure, would be the bursting pressure of the cylinder. It is given by equation 10 when thus... 

Stress Bate at Particles. The stress component, avv, acting parallel to the boundary between rubber particles and matrix is important for the initiation of crazes. It reaches a maximum value (which can be about twice the outer stress, a0) at the equatorial regions of the particles. Besides depending on the shape of the particles and Poisson s ratio, the elastic-stress concentration at the rubber particles depends mainly on the ratio x = Gp/GM, where GP and GM are the Youngs modulus of the particles and the matrix, respectively. This ratio has been calculated by Michler (14) on the basis of the solution obtained by Goodier for an isolated particle embedded in a matrix and subjected to uniaxial tension (15) (see Figure 9). 

As the inner part of each cell ri < r < pi) is compressed, while the outer pi force acting on the cell boundaries turns out to be zero. The main contribution to the net elastic force originates... 

Using seismic elastic waves, geoscientists have identified the spherical layers and boundaries in the interior of the Earth. The Earth s radius is 6380 km. Following the radial inward direction and from the ground surface to its center, the Earth s interior has the spherical layers of crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core and inner core. The boundaries between crust and mantle, between mantle and outer core and between outer core and inner core are determined by sudden jump changes in seismic body waves (P-wave and S-wave). The boundary between upper and lower mantle is determined by the deepest focal depth of earthquakes in the mantle. 

The elasticity solution to the reinforced thick walled cylinder can be found based upon the stress function given in Eki. 9.42 except now the constants must be reevaluated. As before, the constant B must remain zero, but constants A and C must be found from the new boundary conditions which for the case of a rigid outer cylinder are... 

An especially severe case of thermal stresses in expanded plastic insulation occurs when the insulation is bonded to a more rigid member of the structure, A theoretical analysis of thermal stresses has been made for cylindrical geometry in which the boundary conditions approximate the case of insulation bonded to the inner surface of the warm outer shell of a low temperature storage vessel, From this analysis a prediction of the low temperature performance of such insulations can be made if they are isotropic and if their mechanical properties are known. The properties that must be known as functions of temperature are the modulus of elasticity in tension and Poisson s ratio. In addition to these properties, the tensile strength and the modulus of rigidity have been obtained at selected temperatures down to 20 K for two densities of expanded polystyrene and an expanded epoxy resin. 

To model the breakage of the micelle (and consequently leading to the escape of the particle from the micelle), the outer radiation elastic boundary condition of the form...
