Large extension

In this paper, we have exposed a solution to improve the resolution in Low Frequency Ultrasonic Tomography. Since the basic principle of ultrasonic reflection tomography prohibits the inspection of objects with strong contrast and large extension, we turn down the frequency of the transducer, in order to increase the penetration length of the wave and the validity of the method. But this is done at the expense of resolution. 

On the other hand, if an amorphous polymer is struck above the Tg, i.e. in the rubbery state, large extensions are possible before fracture occurs and, although the tensile strength will be much lower, the energy to break (viz. the area under the curve) will be much more, so that for many purposes the material will be regarded as tough. 

When carbon black (fine carbon black) is dispersed homogeneously and its volume fraction

less than nearly 0.2, the SH layers of adjacent carbon particles are still separated from each other in matrix mbber. In this case, the molecules in the SH layer shde, orient, and extend along the extension direction and finally produce strands of oriented molecules under large extension, as shown in Figure 18.8. In this situation, as the molecules inside the SH layer are extended much more... 

Nevertheless, it is obviously shown in Figure 18.1 that the stress-strain curve of the filled mbber gives the clear stress upturn, thus its tensile strength becomes 30 MPa. Therefore, the fundamental question is what happens or what stmcture is produced in the carbon black-filled mbber under large extension, which newly generates the stress upturn. In the case of the fine carbon black-fiUed system, when carbon blacks are dispersed ideally, the carbon gel makes the continuous phase at the... 

It has often been pointed out for a long time that the hysteresis energy given from the hysteresis loop under large extension is too big compared with the viscoelastic dissipation energy. For example, the hysteresis loop given from the stress relaxation is only 20%-30% of that from the stress-strain curve, when both measurements are performed at the same relaxation time and the... 

Super-network of the strands of oriented molecules interconnected at carbon particles produced under large extension supports the increasing stress (stress upturn) and the great stress of the system at break. 

Elastomeric polypeptides are a class of very interesting biopolymers and are characterized by mbber-like elasticity, large extensibility before rupture, reversible deformation without loss of energy, and high resilience upon stretching. Their useful properties have motivated their use in a wide variety of materials and biological applications. Here, we focus on two elastomeric proteins and the recombinant polypeptides derived thereof. 

Fig. 2.55. Freeze drying plant, type CQC, as shown in Fig. 2.53. In this plant, two carriers are moved in parallel through the tunnel. The photograph shows the two heated shelves systems. The sliding gate valve is located in the large extension on the left side. In this plant approx. 5000 tonnes of freeze dried coffee granulate can be produced annually (photograph ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH, D-63526 Erlensee).

Type of crystal with a large extension in two dimensions and a uniform thickness. 

The second group exhibits the phenomenon of drawability. This manifests itself in the stress-strain behavior (curve II in Fig. 2.21) as follows At first these materials behave in a similar way to those of curve I. The proportionality limit lies at low values, and the deformation with increasing load is also quite small. Then, suddenly, a large extension occurs, even though the load remains constant or becomes smaller. The material begins to flow and the stress-strain curve sometimes runs nearly parallel to the abscissa. The point at which the... 

Hence, the elastic modulus corresponds in principle to the force per square millimeter that is necessary to extend a rod by its own length. Materials with low elastic modulus experience a large extension at quite low stress (e.g., rubber, = 1 N/mm ). On the other hand, materials with high elastic modulus (e.g., polyoxymethylene, s 3500 N/mm ) are only slightly deformed under stress. Different kinds of elastic modulus are distinguished according to the nature of the stress applied. For tension, compression, and bending, one speaks of the intrinsic elastic modulus ( modulus). For shear stress (torsion), a torsion modulus (G modulus) can be similarly defined, whose relationship to the modulus is described in the literature. 

A measure of the stiffness of a polymer is the modulus of elasticity (Young s modulus) E. It can be calculated fi om the stress-strain curve as the slope in the linear region of Hooke s law. It should be considered that due to the definition E = o/e for rubberlike materials which show a rather large extension e at quite...
