The latter can be estimated from the side force coefficients obtained during the abrasion experiments for a small shp angle and a high speed. They reflect directly the compound stiffness and since the dimensions are the same also the shear modulus. 

The relevant properties of these materials for the torsional-mechanical analysis are listed in Table 8.11. On the basis of specific elastic modulus and specific shear modulus, the best materials are the graphite-fiber-reinforced epoxy resin, followed by either of the alloys, then the Kevlar fiber-reinforced epoxy. The chopped glass sheet molding compound is obviously not a good choice. 

The effect of strain amplitude is most pronounced in compounds containing reinforcing fillers and can result in a reduction in shear modulus of as much as a factor of 4 when going from a very small strain to about 10%. This is due to breakdown of filler structure which is associated with energy losses that cause a peak in the tan8 value. It was because of this that earlier British and international standards called for tests to be made at 2 and 10% shear strain, a sensible recommendation that has been overlooked in the present version. Turner6 produces an interesting model based on frictional elements to explain this behaviour. 

Nevertheless, some conclusions may be drawn from the set of results presented here. First, with the notable exception of InN, the group III nitrides form a family of hard and incompressible materials. Their elastic moduli and bulk modulus are of the same order of magnitude as those of diamond. In diamond, the elastic constants are [49] Cu = 1076 GPa, Cn = 125 GPa and Cm = 577 GPa, and therefore, B = (Cn + 2Ci2)/3 = 442 GPa. In order to make the comparison with the wurtzite structured compounds, we will use the average compressional modulus as Cp = (Cu + C33)/2 and the average shear modulus as Cs = (Cu + Ci3)/2. The result of this comparison is shown in TABLE 8. 

Basing on this statement, we shall calculate the shear moduli of the charged polymeric composite. According to Ref. 172 the effective shear modulus of such a composite (real part of the modulus) at limiting doping may be estimated as p = 2 106[Pa] at m = 0, which exceeds the shear modulus of the unperturbed polymetric compound . Note that... 

In calculating of the effective shear modulus of the composite, it is assumed that the shear modulus of the particles comprising the doping compound along with its boundary region is p) = 2 106[Pa], p" = 0 [174] so that p is... 

The calculation of the real part of the effective shear modulus p of a composite with fractal structure is illustrated. According to this calculation (Fig. 58) the percolation transition appears after go < 10 4 and at doping concentration p 0.12, i.e. for p > 0.12 in a composite with a continuous and strong skeleton composed of particles of a doping compound connected by a boundary stratum of a polymetric compound. 

The room temperature elastic moduli, such as the compression or bulk modulus K , Young s modulus E , and shear modulus G of the Ti5Si3 and TiSi2 compounds are presented in table II. The bulk and shear moduli are relatively low in comparison to the Young s moduli. This implies that Poisson s ratio is about V = 0,24 or less indicating that the elastic transverse...

Uniaxial (tension and compression) and equibiaxial tests of rubber specimens have been performed at ENEL for both a rather hard rubber compound used in the U.S. Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor (ALMR) Project (shear modulus G = 1.4 MPa) and new medium hardness (G = 0.8 MPa) and soft (G = 0.4 MPa) compounds. Tests concerning tiie ALMR rubber have been carried out in the framework of a co-operation with GE Nuclear Energy.

Although constituent elastomer has historically been specified by durometer hardness, shear modulus is the most important physical property of the elastomer for purposes of bearing design. Research has concluded that shear modulus may vary significantly among compounds of the same hardness. Accordingly, shear modulus shall preferably be specified without reference to durometer hardness. 

Some details of the equipment are illustrated by Fig. 16. The upper die can be raised to separate it from the lower die. A sample of uncured rubber compound can be then introduced and the upper die lowered into place as in the illustration. In this work, the dies were first heated and controlled at an elevated temperature (e.g., 90°C), then the temperature of the dies and sample can then be quite rapidly changed to a desired temperature for testing or for vulcanizing the sample. The sample can be introduced at one temperature, measurements of dynamic mechanical properties (e.g., storage shear modulus G and loss shear modulus G ) can then be made at the same temperature or at another temperature. Then, if desired the sample can be heated to a vulcanization temperature and vulcanized (with the recording of a cure curve, i.e., modulus versus time) and then the temperature can be changed and dynamic mechanical properties can then be measured again. 

All the dynamic measurements thus far mentioned furnish the complex Young s modulus in the fiber direction. The shear modulus at right angles can be measured by torsional vibrations of the fiber itself, using a light crossbar or disc to provide the amount of inertia for a compound oscillating system in forced or free vibration. An example is shown in Rg. 7-7, where the forced vibrations are driven by an electrostatic device. Here the analog of equation 13 of Chapter 6 is ...
