Growth behavior

The utility of K or any elastic plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) parameter to describe the mechanical driving force for crack growth is based on the ability of that parameter to characterize the stress-strain conditions at the crack tip in a maimer which accounts for a variety of crack lengths, component geometries and loading conditions. Equal values of K should correspond to equal crack tip stress-strain conditions and, consequently, to equivalent crack growth behavior. In such a case we have mechanical similitude. Mechanical similitude implies equivalent crack tip inelastic zones and equivalent elastic stress fields. Fracture mechanics is... 

SEM micrographs of two members of these polymers (HB and HBIB-50) are shown in Figure 7 to provide further evidence for superstructure on the micron level within the solution cast films. One can directly observe the surface of the spherulitic structure of the HB homopolymer as well as in that of the copolymer HBIB-50. Clearly, the level of structure (-5 pm) is well above that of the individual domains of either HB or HI and reflects the possible primary nucleation and subsequent growth behavior common to spherulitic semicrystalline polymers. The Hv patterns shown in...

Also, Kolb and coworkers [468] have studied initial stages of Co deposition on Au(lll) and Au(lOO) using CV and STM. Depending on the crystallographic orientation of the substrate and electrochemical properties, either three- or two-dimensional growth has been observed. The influence of surface reconstruction on the nucleation and growth behavior has also been discussed.

Changes in the chromosome structure are often observed in tumors of the blood-forming system, the leukemias and lymphomas. They are almost always foimd in the later phases of aggressive solid tumors. These extensive reorganizations have wide-reaching consequences for growth behavior and functional performance.
