Strain maximum

Let us consider now the effect of flow retardation in extension under constant force 25). The above-mentioned experiments wer,e carried out with low-density polyethylene at 125 °C and with polyisobutylene 11-20 at 44 °C. It should be noted right away that at the above-specified temperatures these melts have approximately similar characteristics under shear strain maximum viscosity is t) 3x 105 Pa s and relaxation time is 0 102 s. Flow curves in the investigated region of shear strain velocities also did not differ significantly from one another.

A high cellulase producing strain of F. oxysporum F3 was tested on a number of carbon sources for its ability to convert them direetly to ethanol [64]. Among the various carbon sources tested, cellulose was the best for ethanol production by this strain. Maximum ethanol concentration (9.6 g 1 with a theoretical yield of 89.2% was achieved in 6 days using 20 g 1 cellulose. The production of ethanol was increased with a substrate concentration from 20 to 50 g l b A considerable reduction in the bioconversion time was observed when P-glucosidase activity was...

The direction of measurement is along the 0° axis in all cases. The tensile modulus falls steadily until the ply construction is 45° and then remains more or less constant. The ultimate tensile strength falls more dramatically to about 10% of its initial value for a unidirectional composite, for a 45 ply construction. The failure strain peaks markedly for a 45° construction. Results for carbon fibre composites are similar in pattern for strength, but the modulus shows a much steeper initial decrease than that for the glass fibre composite and the strain maximum, for the carbon fibre composite is much less, being barely greater than the 0° value.

If a constant strain is imposed on a metal or alloy, the stress relaxes with time as the system reduces its free energy. Dislocations are annihilated and the remaining dislocations move to lower-energy configurations. This is the nature of the recovery process. At higher temperatures, diffusional processes equivalent to creep occur. This phenomenon is very important for solder joints in electronic devices because the device spends much time at the strain extremes when it is turned on and off or put into a sleep mode and returned to active duty. Stress at constant strain vs. time curves for Sn-3.5Ag solder at 25 °C and 80 ° C, and at 0.3 % strain maximum are given in Fig. 6(a,b). The stress as a result of the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatches initially decreases very rapidly with time to a more or less steady state value. At 25 °C, the steady state value is about 15 MPa and is rather independent of the initial stress value however, at 80°C, the stress relaxes to zero. Thus when an electronic device is turned on, the thermal stress will relax to a low value possibly zero during use.

The relaxation and creep experiments that were described in the preceding sections are known as transient experiments. They begin, run their course, and end. A different experimental approach, called a dynamic experiment, involves stresses and strains that vary periodically. Our concern will be with sinusoidal oscillations of frequency v in cycles per second (Hz) or co in radians per second. Remember that there are 2ir radians in a full cycle, so co = 2nv. The reciprocal of CO gives the period of the oscillation and defines the time scale of the experiment. In connection with the relaxation and creep experiments, we observed that the maximum viscoelastic effect was observed when the time scale of the experiment is close to r. At a fixed temperature and for a specific sample, r or the spectrum of r values is fixed. If it does not correspond to the time scale of a transient experiment, we will lose a considerable amount of information about the viscoelastic response of the system. In a dynamic experiment it may... 

In this case, Oq is the maximum amplitude of the stress. The solution to this differential equation will give a functional description of the strain in this dynamic experiment. In the following example, we examine the general solution to this differential equation. 

Criteria of Elastic Failure. Of the criteria of elastic failure which have been formulated, the two most important for ductile materials are the maximum shear stress criterion and the shear strain energy criterion. According to the former criterion, from equation 7... 

If it is assumed that yield and subsequent plastic flow of the material occurs in accordance with the maximum shear stress criterion, then /2 may be substituted for in the above and subsequent equations. For the shear strain energy criterion it may be assumed, as a first approximation, that the corresponding value is G j fz. Errors in this assumption have been discussed (11).
