One of the aims of the present research at Leeds University, of which the spectroscopic studies form a major part, has been to gain an understanding of mechanical behaviour. Both the uniaxially oriented and the biaxially oriented materials discussed in this review have also been the subject of studies of mechanical anisotropy and deformation. It is therefore of some interest to indicate the key guidelines which are emerging from these related studies. 

Among important collections of alchemical manuscripts in Yorkshire are the Clifford family papers held by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society in Leeds, as well as the Birkbeck Collection of religious and esoteric documents at Leeds University, which had been accumulated by Yorkshire Quakers.

A leading exponent of domestic science for girls was Arthur Smithells, Professor of Chemistry at Leeds University (see Chap. 5). Smithells was part of the Science for All movement, which was concerned with the low level of scientific awareness among the general population.61 Members of the Movement contended that humanisation of science was the answer, in which scientific principles were related to people s daily lives. Smithells saw domestic science as a means of bringing an applied aspect that would, in particular, be appropriate in the education of girls. 

The Yorkshire College had a scientific society to which women were welcome, the first woman speaker noted being a Miss Findlay who spoke on Recent Attempts in Colour Photography on 16 December 1897.55 The society changed its name to Leeds University Cavendish Society in 1910, with discussions solely on chemistry and physics topics. A report on a meeting of early 1916 indicates that women chemistry students had begun to play a more active role The meeting was... 

In this review article, primary attention will be given to the results of hydrostatic extrusion measurements on polymers by the author and his colles es at Leeds University. This work will be described in the context of major developments which have taken place on both hydrostatic extrusion and ram extrusion by other groups, notably Takayanagi and his colleagues in Japan, Porter and his colleagues in... 

The studies of hydrostatic extrusion at Leeds University have used two... 

As in the case of hydrostatic extrusion, the die drawing studies at Leeds University have required the small scale rig shown in Fig. 23 for initial studies and a large scale rig for the production of substantial size rods, tubes and sheets. 

In addition to the small scale die-drawing, a major activity at Leeds University has been the production of rod, tube and sheet in substantial sections on the large-... 

The critical stress can now be seen to be essentially an experimental limitation. The smallest strain reading on our present creep apparatus is 5x 10 . The anticipated plateau strain rate of 10" s for a typical sample with a critical stress of 0.2 GPa would therefore only produce a measurable creep response after 500 days, which is on the limit of the time scale of present creep tests at Leeds University.
