Tensile stress-strains

Fig. 2. Stress strain tensile curves of composite PE-glass untreated beads at different volume fraction 0.

Fig. 2 shows typical stress-strain tensile curves of the composites PE-untreated beads, characterized by different untreated glass volume fractions 0. The polyethylene behaviour is also shown (0=0), The initial part of the curves, in a first rough approximation, can be considered linear. The yield is always present. Beyond the yield point plastic behaviour is observed the tensile strength and strain decrease with increasing 0. 

In a heterogeneous blend, the details of the morphology do not generally exert much influence on the stress-strain tensile response. Contrary to expectation that the continuous phase would have more influence, the stress-strain response of unfilled EPDM-BR blends was found to be unaffected by a change in the BR domains from continuous to disperse (Morrisey, 1971).

This section will examine some of the characteristic features of IPN s from a physical and mechanical point of view. Emphasis will be on relating the glass transition behavior to corresponding aspects of morphology. The principal instrumentation employed in the studies discussed here includes a torsional tester for creep-type studies (Section 8.3.1) and a fixed-frequency vibrating unit for dynamic mechanical spectroscopy (see Section 8.3.2). In addition, stress-strain, tensile, and Charpy impact strength values will be briefly discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to describe briefly the tensile test cryostat (a more detailed description will be published elsewhere), to present engineering and true stress-strain tensile data on the 300 series stainless steels, on commercially pure titanium and on iodide titanium and to comment on observations noted on the formation and development of multi-necks at -452 F. 

The mechanical properties are usually determined from stress-strain tensile curves. Figure 3 shows the tensile strength and modulus in the most highly drawn direction as a function of the effective draw ratio in that direction. The data are taken from different papers involving different types of PP and different processing techniques. In spite of this wide range, the trend can be clearly seen. Undrawn PP has a modulus... 

Tensile properties. The mechanical behavior of a polymer can be evaluated by its stress-strain tensile characteristics (Fig. 11.9). The stress is measured in force/area expressed in unit of pressure. The strain is the dimensionless fractional length increase.

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.

Both % El and % RA are frequendy used as a measure of workabifity. Workabifity information also is obtained from parameters such as strain hardening, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, area under the stress—strain diagram, and strain-rate sensitivity. 

The effect of temperature on PSF tensile stress—strain behavior is depicted in Figure 4. The resin continues to exhibit useful mechanical properties at temperatures up to 160°C under prolonged or repeated thermal exposure. PES and PPSF extend this temperature limit to about 180°C. The dependence of flexural moduli on temperature for polysulfones is shown in Figure 5 with comparison to other engineering thermoplastics.

Eor reinforcement, room temperature tensile strength and Young s modulus (stress—strain ratio) are both important. Typical values for refractory fibers are shown in Table 2. 

Tensile Testing. The most widely used instmment for measuring the viscoelastic properties of soHds is the tensile tester or stress—strain instmment, which extends a sample at constant rate and records the stress. Creep and stress—relaxation can also be measured. Numerous commercial instmments of various sizes and capacities are available. They vary greatiy in terms of automation, from manually operated to completely computer controlled. Some have temperature chambers, which allow measurements over a range of temperatures. Manufacturers include Instron, MTS, Tinius Olsen, Apphed Test Systems, Thwing-Albert, Shimadzu, GRC Instmments, SATEC Systems, Inc., and Monsanto. 

A typical stress—strain curve generated by a tensile tester is shown in Eigure 41. Creep and stress—relaxation results are essentially the same as those described above. Regarding stress—strain diagrams and from the standpoint of measuring viscoelastic properties, the early part of the curve, ie, the region...
