Fracture Deformity

The index I in Gic refers to the mode of fracture deformation. Mode I is deformation due to tensile stresses, mode II is deformation in sliding and mode III in tearing. 

It seems plausible to assume that the fracture deformation behavior presented here may be characteristic of all polymers that are readily doubly orientable and that have an easy slip plane. Also note that the V-shaped fracture tip is absent in the other orientation geometries (Figure 3A and 3C). The morphological details of the deformation seem to be affected somewhat by environmental conditions, but it is too early to make precise comments on this point. 

Most crystalline materials which can undergo a large permanent strain without fracture deform in a complex manner that is neither viscous nor perfectly plastic. At low temperatures, such materials deform by a process... 

The current model for converting fracture deformation behavior to changes in fracture permeability utilizes only the normal deformation component. The fracture permeability is calculated using the predicted fracture apertures with the cubic law ... 

Interaction between two material surfaces in a real environment is a complex process that may involve material fracture, deformation, mechanochemical interactions, and phase transformations. These processes must be considered together because of the existing synergy between them. None of the current classical fields of research, such as tribology or contact mechanics, address the complexity of...

Based on the assumption that the deformation governs the fracture and realising an analysis of the deformations to fracture of the two components, the matrix and fibre, three distinct cases are found. Figure 3.452. The most frequent case corresponds to the situation when the matrix fracture deformation is lower that than of fibre in this case, a multiple fracture of matrix occurs before of the sudden fibres fracture. The stress-strain curve presents a discontinuity, at the deformation level, in the moment of matrix failure. Figure 3.452a. The final fracture takes place at / > / ... 

The fracture occurs when the deformation value reached the fibre fracture deformation, while the matrix is plastically deformed. This is the case of elasto-plastic interaction (a = 1), illustrated in Figure 3.453, and it is described be the following equations ...

Figure 30 shows the typical stress-strain curves for pure PI film (without particles containing healing resin). The diagram is typical for plastic materials. Initially, the material deformed elastically, and yielding at strain more than 5 % was observed. The Yoimg modulus of fracture deformation of samples was very high, around 130 %.

The non-constancy of deformation kinetic parameters is expected, a priori, for polymers over the wide ranges of temperatures and stresses (or strains). It has been shown that the diversity of molecular motions inherent to polymers results in a peculiar behavior of their mechanical properties with respect to their relaxation transitions, in particular in non-monotonic temperature dependencies observed for their fracture deformation or stress [276-278]. As an example, Fig. 65 illustrates the typical correlation between change in fracture deformation and step-like unfreezing of mobility with temperature, as estimated by the NMR line width, for poly(vinyl formal).

If the change of the internal structure parameters was achieved via modification of additive type or amount, the physical properties of the additive phase are decisive for the investigated fracture strength and fracture deformation (Fig. 11.50). 

Preformed acrylic polymer facings (Fig. 13), cemented to fractured, deformed or discolored enamel surfaces by an ultraviolet light curing cement similar to the fissure sealant in composition, are currently in extensive use and seem to fill a cosmetic need.
