Material properties shear bands

Fig. 2 shows a qualitative comparison of the stress states using a similar format to that adopted by Cundall (1990). Components of the stress inside the fault/shear band in the homogeneous sand are reduced (Fig. 2). Our model showed that this effective weakening of the material (resulting solely from reduction of confining pressure, i.e., without any need for change of intrinsic material property) continues at larger displacements. Weakening of the material in a normal fault thus appears to be a natural characteristic...

The role of theory is to determine the conditions of h, c, tool geometry (rake angle), and work material thermo-physical-mechanical properties that give rise to serrated rather than continuous or other classifications of chips and, in the conditions of serrated chip formation, to predict such measurable features of the serration as the maximum and minimum chip thickness hi and h2, the angle 0 at which the saw teeth are inclined to the back face of the chip, the teeth face separation L, and the shear-band width . If such quantities are predicted, then the cycles of temperature and stress in the tool will also be known. 

Furthermore, 5 depends on material properties in addition to a. 5 may not achieve its minimum value. The thinning of a shear band is driven by the slope of the strain-softening curve. This varies widely between metals. Microstructural transformations, for example, dynamic... 

The selection of the dominant deformation mechanism in the matrix depends not only on the properties of this matrix material but also on the test temperature, strain rate, as well as the size, shape, and internal morphology of the rubber particles (BucknaU 1977, 1997, 2000 Michler 2005 Michler and Balta-Calleja 2012 Michler and Starke 1996). The properties of the matrix material, defined by its chemical structure and composition, determine not rally the type of the local yield zones and plastic deformation mechanisms active but also the critical parameters for toughening. In amorphous polymers which tend to form fibrillated crazes upon deformation, the particle diameter, D, is of primary importance. Several authors postulated that in some other amorphous and semiciystalline polymers with the dominant formation of dUatational shear bands or extensive shear yielding, the other critical parameter can be the interparticle distance (ID) (the thickness of the matrix ligaments between particles) rather than the particle diameter.

The frequency scan is used for several purposes that will be discussed in this section. One very important use, that is very straightforward, is to survey the material s response over various shear rates. This is important because many materials are used under different conditions. For example adhesives, whether tape, Band-Aids, or hot melts, are normally applied under conditions of low frequency and this property is referred to as tack. When they are removed, the removal often occurs imder conditions of high frequency called peel. Different properties are required at these regimes and to optimize one property may require chemical changes that harm the other. Similarly, changes in polymer structure can show these kinds of differences in the frequency scan. For example, branching affects different frequencies (9).
