INDEX stress-related

Acousto-ophc modulators control the transmission of light by local changes in the index of refrachon of the transmission medium. This modulahon or change occurs by means of a traveling sound wave that induces a stress-related modihcahon of the local index. The sound wave can be transverse copla-nar device), longitudinal colinear), or a combinahon of both as in the case of a surface acoustic wave (SAW). 

Suppose we divide the flow segments into classes according to relaxation times and index the various states by the subscript i. Thus the relaxation time and the component of shear stress borne by the segments in class i are and Fj, respectively. The applied shear force is related to the Fj s through... 

The relative susceptibHity of several commercial aHoys is presented in Table 8. The index used is a relative rating based on integrating performance in various environments. These environments include the harsh condition of exposure to moist ammonia, Hght-to-moderate industrial atmospheres, marine atmosphere, and an accelerated test in Mattsson s solution. The latter testing is described in ASTM G30 and G37 (35,36) and is intended to simulate industrial atmospheres. The index is linear. A rating of 1000 relates to the most susceptible and zero designates immunity to stress corrosion. 

Another expression for the hardening index A is obtained by inserting the stress rate relation in the form (5.4) into the expression for the loading func-... 

The first difference of normal stresses (tr, t) may serve as an indirect index of the highly elastic properties of polymeric systems [199]. C. D. Han [200] related (ru with the residual pressure at outlet Pt)dt. Han, who observed its reduction in polypropylene filled with calcium carbonate [201], concluded that filling decreases the normal stresses. Note that addition of fibrous fillers, vice versa, somewhat increases Pexi, [180]. 

The role of the substrate temperature can be inferred from a plot of /J2 ev and R versus max at the three temperatures mentioned 200, 250, and 300°C (see Figure 49). At a substrate temperature of 200°C the refractive index is lower at every max than at a substrate temperature of 250°C. Further, the threshold at which dense material is obtained is observed to be a few electron volts higher than at 250°C. The refractive index at 300°C is high and independent of max-The microstructure parameter R as a function of max behaves similarly for material deposited at 200 and at 250°C. At 300°C the value of R is less than 0.1 and independent of max- It is noteworthy to show the relation between the internal stress and max as a function of temperature (Fig. 50). The stress is linearly... 

Through the photoelastic effect, stress will modify the refractive index of silicon according to the relations... 

This review is intended to cover most of the aspects of NMR in phosphorus chemistry, especially stressing those aspects directly related to electronic and structural factors. Some subjects will only be briefly reviewed, e.g. resonances in solid compounds, in metal complexes [this subject has been treated in a previous article in this seriesa969,1)] and biological applications. All the compounds reviewed are tabulated in either Formula Index I (inorganics) or Formula Index II (organics), the whole comprising of more than four thousand five hundred entries. These indicesf list all available chemical shifts for phosphorus and fluorine those for other nuclei (except protons) are reported in the text of this review. 

The safety of G-CSF stimulation in patients with CAD has been questioned in two recent studies. Hill et al. [138] report the results of administration of 10 mcg/kg/day of G-CSF for 5 days in patients with chronic CAD n = 16). There was no clinical benefit as assessed by exercise stress testing and dobuta-mine cardiac MRI. Additionally two patients in the G-CSF group developed serious adverse events related to the therapy (one non-ST elevation MI one MI causing death). Zbinden et al. [139] also tested the efficacy of the same G-CSF dose in patients with chronic CAD ( = 7). The invasive endpoint collateral flow index was significantly better in the G-CSF treated patients when compared to the placebo group. However, two patients in the G-CSF treated group developed acute coronary syndrome during treatment. 

The melt flow index is a useful indication of the molar mass, since it is a reciprocal measure of the melt viscosity p. p depends very strongly on 77 ( ) (doubling of results in a 10.6 times higher 77 ). This relation is valid for the zero-shear viscosity the melt index is measured at a shear stress where the non-Newtonian behaviour, and thus the width of the molar mass distribution, is already playing a part (see MT 5.3.2). The melt index is a functional measure for the molar mass, because for a producer of end products the processability is often of primary importance. 

Birefringence induced by applied stress is caused by the two components of the refracted light traveling at different velocities. This generates interference which is characteristic of the material. The change in refractive index, An, produced by a stress S is often related by a factor C called the stress-optical coefficient as follows ... 

This index describes the potential of the tablet to cap and laminate, and is related to the ability to relieve shear stresses within the compact via material flow. In Equation (1), TS equals the tensile strength of the normal tablet and TSo is measured from a tablet with a hole in its center, which simulates a defect. 

The shear-stress convention is a bit more complicated to explain. In a differential control volume, the shear stresses act as a couple that produces a torque on the volume. The sign of the torques defines the positive directions of the shear stresses. Assume a right-handed coordinate system, here defined by (z, r, 9). The shear-stress sign convention is related to ordering of the coordinate indexes as follows a positive shear xzr produces a torque in the direction, a positive xrg produces a torque in the z direction, and a positive x z produces a torque in the r direction. Note also, for example, that a positive xrz produces a torque in the negative 6 direction. 

In the above mentioned field equations the number of unknown quantities does not correspond to the number of equations, thus we have to conclude the problem with the constitutive equations for the partial stress tensors T , the interaction forces p", the partial internal energies ea and the partial heat flows q . From the evaluation of the entropy inequality of the saturated porous body, see de Boer [4], we obtain for the solid phase and the mobile phases with Index j3 = L, G the constitutive relations for T and p ... 

In all expressions the Einstein repeated index summation convention is used. Xi, x2 and x3 will be taken to be synonymous with x, y and z so that o-n = axx etc. The parameter B will be temperature-dependent through an activation energy expression and can be related to microstructural parameters such as grain size, diffusion coefficients, etc., on a case-by-case basis depending on the mechanism of creep involved.1 In addition, the index will depend on the mechanism which is active. In the linear case, n = 1 and B is equal to 1/3t/ where 17 is the linear shear viscosity of the material. Stresses, strains, and material parameters for the fibers will be denoted with a subscript or superscript/, and those for the matrix with a subscript or superscript m. 

The viscoelastic stress-strain equation, Equation (4) can be expressed in finite element formulation which relates the stress tensor a.. at time index n and cell centre (ij) to the corresponding strain tensor arising from the movement of the adjoining cell corners. Using backward differences for the time step, at time index n.
