Strain general comment

These results are consistent with previous evidence (Fulthorpe et al. 1996) from a study of pristine soils that, although populations existed that could degrade both 3-chlorobenzoate and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate, isolation of the latter strains was generally unsuccessful by the methods used. These results should be viewed against the general comments on oligotrophs and bradytrophs in Section 4.3. 

General comments. Had this problem been calculated using published data assuming a lineair relationship of tensile stress to strain (see Chapter 3), the answer would have been more than twice this amount. Then the designer would certainly have questioned its practicality, because the stress would have been higher than the tensile strength of the resin. 

The present discussion has a twofold objective First, to review the literature in the stress analysis of adhesive joints using the finite-element method. Second, to present a finite-element computational procedure for adhesive joints experiencing two-dimensional deformation and stress fields. The adherends are linear elastic and can undergo large deformations, and the adhesive experiences linear strains but nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Following these general comments, a review of the literature is presented. The technical discussion given in the subsequent sections comes essentially from the authors research(i 2> conducted for the Oifice of Naval Research. 

Several points in this general treatment require further comment. In the first place we have neglected interaction between dislocations, except for the multiplication equation (8.45). One might have expected A in (8.43) to depend on the dislocation density n as in metals, where such interaction impedes dislocation motion and leads to work-hardening. This does not occur in ice. Secondly, if we consider a normal creep experiment with exponential increase of strain with time. This does not occur and Cp tends to a constant. The probable explanation is that, when the dislocation density becomes high, dislocations can climb by a diffusion mechanism (Weertman, 1957) to annihilate each other after a limited amount of motion, thus maintaining n constant. 

Olefin strain energy has been defined as the difference between the strain energies of an olefin and the corresponding saturated hydrocarbon. Generally, the olefin is more strained than the alkane. Given the experimental heats of formation (in kcal / mol) below, calculate the olefin strain for the olefins shown. Comment briefly on the implications of your findings. For some systems, the olefin is actually less strained than the alkane. These have been termed hyperstable olefins. Are any...

As previously commented, the postulate considered by Kraus (i.e.. Equation 5.34) imparts symmetries in both the G (Yo) and the G"(Yo) functions. If indeed, experimental data support an horizontal symmetry for the elastic modulus, with respect to the mid modulus value, no vertical symmetry (with respect to y<) is generally observed for the viscous modulus. The deficiencies of the Kraus model are therefore, embedded in the starting postulate. Various modifications have been proposed to account for the nonsymmetri-cal behavior of G" without changing the physical ideas leading to the model. Using different strain exponents for the deagglomeration and reagglomeration processes (Equation 5.34) was probed by Ulmer who concluded that it... 

A comment needs to be added for the stress expression (eqn [19]). This expression assumes that the components in the blends are isotropic and no mobile emulsifier is included in the sharp interface so that the interfadal interartion can be represented by a single scalar constant, F. Equation [19] is to be modified if these assumptions are invalid. Namely, the interfadal interaction is to be represented in a tensorial form if the blend components are anisotropic (such as liquid crystalline molecules), and a strain- and time-dependent contribution is to be added in eqn [19] if the blend contains mobile emulsifiers. Furthermore, a general expression of o is to be utilized instead of eqn [19] if the interface is diffuse (which is the case for weakly segregated blends such as those near the phase-separation point). Nevertheless, eqn [19] is applicable to a large fraction of polymer blends utilized in industry, and the description given later is limited to such blends.
