Stressing Mechanisms

It is possible to identify three stresses mechanisms responsible for particle size reduction in mills  

An initial classification of comminution equipment can be made according to the stressing mechanisms employed, as follows. 

Machines using mainly mechanism 2, high velocity impact 

Machines using a combination of mechanisms 1 and 2, crushing and impact with attrition 

Although it is technically interesting to classify mills according to the stressing mechanisms it is the size of the feed and the product size distribution required which in most cases determine the choice of a suitable mill. Generally the terminology shown in Table 12.1 is used.

Applied stress There are TPs that will craze or crack under certain environmental condition. Products that are highly stressed mechanically must be checked very carefully. Polypropylene, ionomer, chlorinated polyether, phenoxy, EVA, and linear polyethylene are examples that offer greater freedom from stress crazing than some other TPs. Solvents may crack products held under stress. TSs is generally preferable for products under continuous loads. 

The usual starting point is to look at how the object is stressed mechanically in service and simulate it - drop a loaded sack, put force on a handle, pressurise a pipe, etc. The more complicated the service stresses are, the more complicated the simulation will become, for example, if a handle may be bent and twisted, this has to be tested together, whereas a sack could fall on its side or a corner and this could be tested sequentially. 

Space structures, which in service represent the ultimate in inaccessibility, are stressed mechanically during launch but the principal cause of subsequent degradation is environmental. Dimensional stability is the principal concern. In general, complete structures rather than individual materials are exhaustively tested in space simulators before they are launched. There is now sufficient information available with different materials for estimates to be based largely on experience.

One of the biochemical processes that have covered much of the research performed on AD over the last years is the oxidative stress mechanisms (118). Mitochondrial dysfunction has been suggested to underlie AD pathophysiology (94). Deposition of heavy metals and alteration of the mitochondrial functionality are some of the facts and effects of oxidative stress observed in AD process (119). Given its importance, a number of reviews have tackled this...

The woes of the tobacco industry continued into the summer of 1996 when, on August 9, a Florida jury awarded a plaintiff and his wife 750,000 in their suit against Brown Williamson Tobacco Corp. One document that was persuasive in the case was a 1963 memo from a former top counsel of the company. In that correspondence, the executive stated that Nicotine is addictive. We are, then, in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug effective in the release of stress mechanisms. ...

Owing to the entropic changes that take place in a viscoelastic system perturbed by a force field, the response does not vanish when the perturbation field ceases. A consequence of this fact is that the deformation depends not only on the actual stress but also on the previous stresses (mechanical history) undergone by the material in the past. Under the linear behavior regime, the responses to different perturbations superpose. Let us assume that the stresses Aa(0i) and A(t(02) are applied on the material at times 0j and 02, respectively. This stress history is shown schematically in Figure 5.12. The response is given by... 

Several factors affect the salt sensitivity of plants. We first evaluated the effect of light intensity on the salt-stress. Figure 2 clearly showed that tobacco seedlings were more severely affected by salt stress under high light intensity both on the basis of chlorophyll content and fresh wei t increase. This result indicated that light, probably photosynthetic process, would be involved in the salt-stress. To characterize the salt-stress mechanism, we examine the effect of salt on the photosynthetic activities of isolated thylakoid membranes. Previously, we reported that the presence of salt in assay inhibited the photosystem II activity of tobacco thylakoid membranes but not photosystem I activities (Murota et al., 1994). Then, we further examined the effect of salt on the irreversible photodamage of thylakoid membrane activity. 

The mechanical properties of materials are of great importance in engineering applications [1], When a mechanical force is applied to a specimen, the deformation of the specimen is described in terms of its stress-strain behavior. The stress-strain behavior quantifies the stress (mechanical load) o that is required to achieve a certain amount of strain (deformation or displacement) e, as a function of e and variables such as the temperature T and the strain rate .

Using a continuum rather than cellular model implies that the growing foam is regarded as a fluid with a continuously distributed source of flow. Hence, the flow rate is also a function of position the (hydrodynamic) pressure gradient is resulted from inertia, gravity and stress mechanisms operating in the fluid. 

There is also intriguing evidence that (co-3) fatty acids induce apo B degradation via mechanisms that do not involve the conventional proteasomal or lysosomal degradation pathways. In the presence of (cu-3) fatty acids, apo B degradation was shown to occur in a post-ER, pre-secretion process (E.A. Fisher, 2004). Lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress mechanisms were implicated in the increased degradation and decreased secretion of apo... 

B. Addition of antioxidants to cells treated with (co-3) fatty acids restored normal apo B secretion. Interestingly, the induction of ER stress, with glucosamine or over-expression of Grp78, also increased apo B degradation and decreased apo B secretion (K. Adeli, 2005). Indeed, ER stress mechanisms appear to lead to both post-ER pre-secretory proteolysis of apo B as well as proteasome-mediated ER-associated degradation (K. Adeli, 2006).
