Mechanical spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum is a quantum effect and the width of a spectral feature is traceable to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The mechanical spectrum is a classical resonance effect and the width of a feature indicates a range of closely related r values for the model elements. 

The amount of a particular component in a sample can be monitored by examining the height of a spectral absorption peak The reduction of an aldehyde to an alcohol would show up as a decrease in line intensity for the carbonyl and an increase for the hydroxyl peaks in the spectrum. Changes in the relative importance of different relaxation modes in a polymer can also be followed by the corresponding changes in a mechanical spectrum.

Cephalosporins. These beta-lactam antibiotics share many features with the penicillins including mechanism, spectrum of action, distribution ans toxicity potential. At the present time, the cephalosporins are classified into three groups, designated as generations. 

Up to this point the CM model and the More O Ferrall PES diagram lead to essentially identical conclusions. The analysis by More O Ferrall (1970) of the elimination mechanism spectrum may be summed up by Fig. 27. The two axes represent C—H and C—X bond-breaking co-ordinates. The third axis, perpendicular to the plane of the paper, is the energy co-ordinate. Two of the diagonal corners represent reactants and products while the other pair of diagonal corners represent the carbocation and carbanion intermediates. All possible mechanistic pathways are simultaneously indicated on the energy surface.

As expected, a single sharp transition is observed characteristic of a reasonably uniform copolymer. Figure 8 shows the dynamic mechanical spectrum for a two-stage process in which the first stage feed was ethyl acrylate and the second stage feed was styrene. This time, two well-defined transitions are observed characteristic of the hard and soft homopolymers.

Increasing filler loading broadens the relaxation spectrum of the cure reaction. Broadening the relaxation spectrum by filler loading also has been found in the mechanical spectrum of cured rubber from the glass transition region to rubbery plateau region [15].

The characteristics of the dynamic mechanical spectrum of SMAA show drastic changes compared with those of the aPS homopolymer even at very low molar fractions of the added comonomer. All the changes observed reflect the ionic interactions. The a relaxation temperature increases with increasing methacrylic acid content as a consequence of a stable network of chemical crosslinks due to anhydride bridge formation. The y relaxation could be related to local motion of methacrylic acid due to the breakdown of the weakest hydrogen bonds. The 3 relaxation could be attributed to local motion of the backbone chain induced by the breakdown of stronger hydrogen bonds than those invoked for the y relaxation.

The collinear model (Eq. (15)) has been successfully used in the semiclassical description of many bound and resonant states in the quantum mechanical spectrum of real helium [49-52] and plays an important role for the study of states of real helium in which both electrons are close to the continuum threshold [53, 54]. The quantum mechanical version of the spherical or s-wave model (Eq. (16)) describes the Isns bound states of real helium quite well [55]. The energy dependence of experimental total cross sections for electron impact ionization is reproduced qualitatively in the classical version of the s-wave model [56] and surprisingly well quantitatively in a quantum mechanical calculation [57]. The s-wave model is less realistic close to the break-up threshold = 0, where motion along the Wannier ridge, = T2, is important.

Dynamic birefringence techniques have been developed by Stein et al. (66), Read (54), Yamada and Hayashi (85) and Hopkins (25). By this technique the stress, strain and birefringence are measured simultaneously while the applied strain varies. By making such measurements as a function of frequency and temperature one can in principle separate the time dependencies of orientation of molecular response in a multiphase system as well as correlate the optical behavior with the mechanical spectrum. This technique can be correlated for example with the dynamic X-ray technique allowing separation of the amorphous and crystalline behavior.
