The pop-in concept was first developed by Boyle, Sulhvan, and Krafft [3] and forms the basis of the current Kic test method that is embodied in ASTM Test Method E-399 [2]. The basic concept is based on having material of sufficient thickness so that the developing plane stress plastic zone at the surface would not reheve the plane strain constraint in the midthickness region of the crack front at the onset of crack growth (see Fig. 4.2). It flowed logically from the case of the penny-shaped crack, as shown in Fig. 4.4 in the previous subsection. 

Figure 8.9 illustrates the TEM images of the PP/EPR blend with 20 wt% of EPR impacted by different energy (from 5 to 20 J). These images clearly exhibited the microfracture deformation through the formation of craze and voids, which was responsible for the brittle-ductile transition observed during mechanical deformation. The origin of the ductile fracture could be attributed to the relaxation of strain constraint by the microvoids in the craze.

The extensional elastic strain in the film in the y—direction remains as e-m. following relaxation due to the plane strain constraint. The extensional strain in the x—direction is... 

For the case of thin films being deformed plastically under the action of equi-biaxial states of stress, the stress history follows a straight line path in stress space. In some of the experimental methods for study of thin film plasticity that have been described in this section, the in-plane stress components are not equal, in general, and the trajectory in stress space during deformation is not a straight line. Consider a film material being deformed under plane strain extension in the a —direction the plane strain constraint is enforced in the. j—direction. The elastic modulus is E and the Poisson ratio is Pf = 0.3. The initial yield locus for the material in terms of tensile yield stress stress (Tyf is the Mises condition. The material... 

Initially, the response is within the elastic range of behavior. In this range, the plane strain constraint e z = 0 is sufficient to determine the stress trajectory. From Hooke s law. 

The plane strain constraint still requires that tzz = 0 and the imposed extensional strain requires that ixx = rryJEi. Therefore, the left-hand sides of both equations are known. The equations (7.88) and (7.89) then provide a pair of first-order ordinary differential equations to be integrated for (Txx and [Pg.589]

If the material is perfectly plastic, i.e., if the yield function is independent of k and a, then = 0 and the magnitude of the plastic strain rate cannot be determined from (5.81). Only its direction is determined by the normality condition (5.80), its magnitude being determined by kinematical constraints on the local motion. 

Similarly, under suitable constraints, deformation is possible in which only one extensional strain arises or is applied. Again, work is produced by the corresponding stress alone. Thus, because the work done is determined by the diagonal elements of the stiffness matrix, those elements must be positive, that is,... 

Two situations are considered which differ in the number of constraints imposed. In the first one the shear strain in x and y directions is fixed, infinitesimal, reversible transformations are governed by the thermodynamic potential [see Eq. (9)], and X is the relevant partition function [see Eq. (52)]. Here the shear stress is computed as a function of the registry... 

Stereochemical constraints in cyclic sulfones and sulfoxides impart increased weight to strain and conformational factors in the generation of carbanions and their stability, causing distinct differences between the behavior of cyclic and open-chain systems233, due primarily to the prevention of extensive rotation about the C —S bond, which is the major way that achiral carbanions racemize. Study of the a-H/D exchange rate fce and the racemization rate ka may provide information concerning the acidity-stereochemical relationships in optically active cyclic sulfone and sulfoxide systems.
