The steel-paste bond is deteriorated progressively under the repeated cycles of reinforced concrete loatlmg the mechanism of load transfer is destroyed arrd the strength of composite decreases [41]. 

The bonding force of paste with reinforcing steel depends on temperature and decreases at increasing temperature [55]. Reduction of steel-paste bond is clearer in the case of polished steel than of msted or ribbed bars (Fig. 6.21). The steel-paste bond weakening in the case of ribbed bars vs. temperature is equivalent to the decrease of concrete flexural strength. 

In the past bond analysis was frequently limited to calculating gross redemption yield, or yield to maturity. Today basic bond math involves different concepts and calculations. These are described in several of the references for chapter 3, such as Ingersoll (1987), Shiller (1990), Neftci (1996), Jarrow (1996), Van Deventer (1997), and Sundaresan (1997). This chapter reviews the basic elements. Bond pricing, together with the academic approach to it and a review of the term structure of interest rates, are discussed in depth in chapter 3. 

The curing process is designed to make the paste bond with the current collector and also make the paste into a cohesive, porous material. The curing process is often done at elevated temperature and humidity to ensure the PbO reacts with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate salts, and to oxidize the lead core of the lead oxide to PbO to form additional lead sulfate salts. Generally, the higher the temperature employed... 

Another good example, using similar sandwich panel and paste bonding techniques, is the construction of the canoe-shaped fin-tip radomes for the Nimrod. 

The simulation trajectory shown in Fig. 8b provides an explanation of how the force profile in Fig. 8a arises. During extension from 0 to 10 A the two /9-sheets slid away from each other, each maintaining a stable structure and its intra-sheet backbone hydrogen bonds. As the extension of the domain reached 14 A, the structure within each sheet began to break in one sheet, strands A and G slid peist each other, while in the other sheet, strands A and B slid past each other. The A -G and A-B backbone hydrogen bonds broke nearly simultaneously, producing the large initial force peak seen in Fig. 8a. 

Bond stretching is most often described by a harmonic oscillator equation. It is sometimes described by a Morse potential. In rare cases, bond stretching will be described by a Leonard-Jones or quartic potential. Cubic equations have been used for describing bond stretching, but suffer from becoming completely repulsive once the bond has been stretched past a certain point. 

Once a rubberband is stretched beyond its elastic region, it becomes much harder to stretch and soon breaks. At this point, the polymer chains are linear and more energy must be applied to slide chains past one another and break bonds. Thus, determining the energy required to break the material requires a different type of simulation. 

Three-Piece Cans. Most steel cans, whether or not tin-plated, are three-piece, ie, a body and two ends. In the past, solder was used to bond the longitudinal seam, but solder has been replaced by welded side seams. 

Specific optical rotation values, [a], for starch pastes range from 180 to 220° (5), but for pure amylose and amylopectin fractions [a] is 200°. The stmcture of amylose has been estabUshed by use of x-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy (23). The latter analysis shows that the proposed stmcture (23) is consistent with the proposed ground-state conformation of the monomer D-glucopyranosyl units. Intramolecular bonding in amylose has also been investigated with nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy (24). 

Friction and Adhesion. The coefficient of friction p. is the constant of proportionality between the normal force P between two materials in contact and the perpendicular force F required to move one of the materials relative to the other. Macroscopic friction occurs from the contact of asperities on opposing surfaces as they sHde past each other. On the atomic level friction occurs from the formation of bonds between adjacent atoms as they sHde past one another. Friction coefficients are usually measured using a sliding pin on a disk arrangement. Friction coefficients for ceramic fibers in a matrix have been measured using fiber pushout tests (53). For various material combinations (43) ...
