Shear resistance

Peel Strength (Adhesives). This property follows a trend similar to that for shear resistance and best peel strengths are obtained with fairly high styrene (near 4C ) and with high molecular weight polymers. Other corsiderations such as tack and viscosity may, however, dictate a limit m increases in molecular weight or styroie content. 

Abrasion. Resistance to abrasion is adequate for many applications including footwear and can be improved hy addition of reinforcing pigments (hard clay, silicas, carbon blacks) and through use of added plastic materials such as polystyrene or polyolefins. Abrasion resistance is reduced by oils, seme resins and large-particle fillers. It is also improved with Increased molecular weight of the polymer (Table III). 

Crack Growth. Resistance to crack growth is usually quite good, especially in compounded stocks. Oils, resins, fillers and polystyrene all have shown soae beneficial effects on resistance to crack growth although there are optimum levels for some ingredients.

Low Temperature Properties. Brittle Doints or freeze ooints are quite low, due to the very low Tg of the rubbery poiybuta-diene portion, and even polymers with 40 or 50 styrene may have low brittle temperatures. Soling oomoounds, for example, have displayed satisfactory resistance to cracking at -20 P.

The absolute or dynamic viscosity is defined as the ratio of shear resistance to the shear velocity gradient. This ratio is constant for Newtonian fluids. 

Compressive interfacial stresses increase the interfacial shear resistance. Although usually detrimental to toughening, these stresses can enhance toughening if bridge pullout is the operative toughening process. 

Resistance to cutting depends on a number of factors, of which the shearing resistance of the precipitate lattice is only one. In fact the cutting stress increases with ageing time (Fig. 10.7). 

The demands on the PSA performance for these types of applications can be very high, especially in the areas of creep, shear resistance and long-term durability. For these reasons, crosslinked acrylics and stabilized block copolymer adhesives have become the main PSA material choices. 

Viscosity is the shear resistance between adjacent fluid layers. Consider in Fig. 4.1 the shearing action between two parallel planes, each of area A, separated by a distance Y. The tangential force F for a given area required to slide one plate over the other at a velocity (v) parallel to each other is... 

We were able show that temperature is a convenient and promising parameter to achieve this goal. Growing cells at temperatures lower than 37 °C will slow down growth rate but on the other hand have a beneficial effect on shear resistance [501 (Fig- 3 ).

The shear loads, V, are based on the ultimate bending resistance, r, of the structural element. Shear resistance is provided to support the resulting shear stresses, v. This allows the element to reach its full dynamic flexural loacf carrying capacity and not fail prematurely, in shear, at small deflection. Two major shear stresses must be checked diagonal tension at a distance from the support, and direct shear at the support. 

Direct Shear. For type I cross-sections (0 < 2°) the concrete between the flexural reinforcement Is capable of resisting direct shear. However, because cracking at the support yield line reduces the shear capacity, diagonal bars must be provided to at least resist the shear capacity of the concrete, v. For type II and III cross-sections (0 > 2 ), with little or no concrete shear resistance, The diagonal reinforcing bars must be designed to resist the entire shear load at the support. 

Shear controls when shear resistance is less than 120% of flexural resistance.
