The preceding sections have of course dealt with deformations under small stresses, where the viscoelastic behavior is linear. For glassy polymers, which with their high moduli can support substantial stresses, nonlinear phenomena can be encountered even when the strains are relatively small (of the order of 1% strain for 5% nonlinearity ). The nature of the nonlinearity is quite different, therefore, from that in the rubbery zone (Chapter 14, Section C), which is associated with high strains rather than high stresses. Experimental measurements are rather sparse. 

The effects of a number of environmental factors on viscoelastic material properties can be represented by a time shift and thus a shift factor. In Chapter 10, a time shift associated with stress nonlinearities, or a time-stress-superposition-principle (TSSP), is discussed in detail both from an analytical and an experimental point of view. A time scale shift associated with moisture (or a time-moisture-superposition-principle) is also discussed briefly in Chapter 10. Further, a time scale shift associated with several environmental variables simultaneously leading to a time scale shift surface is briefly mentioned. Other examples of possible time scale shifts associated with physical and chemical aging are discussed in a later section in this chapter. These cases where the shift factor relationships are known enables the constitutive law to be written similar to Eq. 7.53 with effective times defined as in Eq. 7.54 but with new shift factor functions. This approach is quite powerful and enables long-term predictions of viscoelastic response in changing environments. 

Finally, new mathematical developments in the study of nonlinear classical dynamics came to be appreciated by molecular scientists, with applications such as the bifiircation approaches stressed in this section. 

As discussed above, the nonlinear material response, P f) is the most connnonly encountered nonlinear tenn since vanishes in an isotropic medium. Because of the special importance of P we will discuss it in some detail. We will now focus on a few examples ofP spectroscopy where just one or two of the 48 double-sided Feymnan diagrams are important, and will stress the dynamical interpretation of the signal. A pictorial interpretation of all the different resonant diagrams in temis of wavepacket dynamics is given in [41]. 

In the last section we considered tire mechanical behaviour of polymers in tire linear regime where tire response is proportional to tire applied stress or strain. This section deals witli tire nonlinear behaviour of polymers under large defonnation. Microscopically, tire transition into tire nonlinear regime is associated with a change of tire polymer stmcture under mechanical loading.

In this chapter we analyse a wide class of equilibrium problems with cracks. It is well known that the classical approach to the crack problem is characterized by the equality type boundary conditions considered at the crack faces, in particular, the crack faces are considered to be stress-free (Cherepanov, 1979, 1983 Kachanov, 1974 Morozov, 1984). This means that displacements found as solutions of these boundary value problems do not satisfy nonpenetration conditions. There are practical examples showing that interpenetration of crack faces may occur in these cases. An essential feature of our consideration is that restrictions of Signorini type are considered at the crack faces which do not allow the opposite crack faces to penetrate each other. The restrictions can be written as inequalities for the displacement vector. As a result a complete set of boundary conditions at crack faces is written as a system of equations and inequalities. The presence of inequality type boundary conditions implies the boundary problems to be nonlinear, which requires the investigation of corresponding boundary value problems. In the chapter, plates and shells with cracks are considered. Properties of solutions are established existence of solutions, regularity up to the crack faces, convergence of solutions as parameters of a system are varying and so on. We analyse different constitutive laws elastic, viscoelastic. 

Modified ETEE is less dense, tougher, and stiffer and exhibits a higher tensile strength and creep resistance than PTEE, PEA, or EEP resins. It is ductile, and displays in various compositions the characteristic of a nonlinear stress—strain relationship. Typical physical properties of Tef2el products are shown in Table 1 (24,25). Properties such as elongation and flex life depend on crystallinity, which is affected by the rate of crysta11i2ation values depend on fabrication conditions and melt cooling rates. 

The Stress-Rang e Concept. The solution of the problem of the rigid system is based on the linear relationship between stress and strain. This relationship allows the superposition of the effects of many iadividual forces and moments. If the relationship between stress and strain is nonlinear, an elementary problem, such as a siagle-plane two-member system, can be solved but only with considerable difficulty. Most practical piping systems do, ia fact, have stresses that are initially ia the nonlinear range. Using linear analysis ia an apparendy nonlinear problem is justified by the stress-range concept... 

Cord materials such as nylon, polyester, and steel wire conventionally used in tires are twisted and therefore exhibit a nonlinear stress—strain relationship. The cord is twisted to provide reduced bending stiffness and achieve high fatigue performance for cord—mbber composite stmcture. The detrimental effect of cord twist is reduced tensile strength. Analytical studies on the deformation of twisted cords and steel wire cables are available (22,56—59). The tensile modulus E of the twisted cord having diameter D and pitchp is expressed as follows (60) ... 

When the continmty equation and the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are time averaged, equations for the time-averaged velocities and pressures are obtained which appear identical to the original equations (6-18 through 6-28), except for the appearance of additional terms in the Navier-Stokes equations. Called Reynolds stress terms, they result from the nonlinear effects of momentum transport by the velocity fluctuations. In each i-component (i = X, y, z) Navier-Stokes equation, the following additional terms appear on the right-hand side ... 

It is consistent with the approximations of small strain theory made in Section A.7 to neglect the higher-order terms, and to consider the elastic moduli to be constant. Stated in another way, it would be inconsistent with the use of the small deformation strain tensor to consider the stress relation to be nonlinear. The previous theory has included such nonlinearity because the theory will later be generalized to large deformations, where variable moduli are the rule. 

A number of other indifferent stress rates have been used to obtain solutions to the simple shear problem, each of which provides a different shear stress-shear strain response which has no latitude, apart from the constant Lame coefficient /r, for representing nonlinearities in the response of various materials. These different solutions have prompted a discussion in the literature regarding which indifferent stress rate is the correct one to use for large deformations. 

In fact, as Atluri [17] has pointed out, the hypoelastic equation of grade zero has inadequate latitude to represent realistic nonlinear response of various materials in large deformations, and it is necessary to use a hypoelastic equation of at least grade one to do so. If the grade is one, then, continuing to use Jaumann s stress rate and nondimensionalizing the stress as before, the isotropic representation (A.92) may be used in (5.112) with d = A and s = B to obtain... 

The shock-induced micromechanical response of <100>-loaded single crystal copper is investigated [18] for values of (WohL) from 0 to 10. The latter value results in W 10 Wg at y = 0.01. No distinction is made between total and mobile dislocation densities. These calculations show that rapid dislocation multiplication behind the elastic shock front results in a decrease in longitudinal stress, which is communicated to the shock front by nonlinear elastic effects [pc,/po > V, (7.20)]. While this is an important result, later recovery experiments by Vorthman and Duvall [19] show that shock compression does not result in a significant increase in residual dislocation density in LiF. Hence, the micromechanical interpretation of precursor decay provided by Herrmann et al. [18] remains unresolved with existing recovery experiments. 

Generally the material response stress versus particle velocity curves in Fig. 8.6 are nonlinear and either a graphical or more complicated analytic method is needed to extract a spall strength, Oj, from the velocity or stress profile. When behavior is nominally linear in the region of interest a characteristic impedance (Z for the window and for the sample) specify material...

At low strains there is an elastic region whereas at high strains there is a nonlinear relationship between stress and strain and there is a permanent element to the strain. In the absence of any specific information for a particular plastic, design strains should normally be limited to 1%. Lower values ( 0.5%) are recommended for the more brittle thermoplastics such as acrylic, polystyrene and values of 0.2-0.3% should be used for thermosets. 

In this chapter the regimes of mechanical response nonlinear elastic compression stress tensors the Hugoniot elastic limit elastic-plastic deformation hydrodynamic flow phase transformation release waves other mechanical aspects of shock propagation first-order and second-order behaviors. 

To describe properties of solids in the nonlinear elastic strain state, a set of higher-order constitutive relations must be employed. In continuum elasticity theory, the notation typically employed differs from typical high pressure science notations. In the present section it is more appropriate to use conventional elasticity notation as far as possible. Accordingly, the following notation is employed for studies within the elastic range t = stress, t] = finite strain, with both taken positive in tension. 

It is instructive to describe elastic-plastic responses in terms of idealized behaviors. Generally, elastic-deformation models describe the solid as either linearly or nonlinearly elastic. The plastic deformation material models describe rate-independent behaviors in terms of either ideal plasticity, strainhardening plasticity, strain-softening plasticity, or as stress-history dependent, e.g. the Bauschinger effect [64J01, 91S01]. Rate-dependent descriptions are more physically realistic and are the basis for viscoplastic models. The degree of flexibility afforded elastic-plastic model development has typically led to descriptions of materials response that contain more adjustable parameters than can be independently verified. 

Piezoelectric solids are characterized by constitutive relations among the stress t, strain rj, entropy s, electric field E, and electric displacement D. When uncoupled solutions are sought, it is convenient to express t and D as functions of t], E, and s. The formulation of nonlinear piezoelectric constitutive relations has been considered by numerous authors (see the list cited in [77G06]), but there is no generally accepted form or notation. With some modification in notation, we adopt the definitions of thermodynamic potentials developed by Thurston [74T01]. This leads to the following constitutive relations ... 

In the low-signal limit in which nonlinearities in material behavior are negligible and u/U I the analysis given above can easily be extended to stress pulses of arbitrary form, with the result [65G01]...
