Tensile strength/creep

Typically PPE/PS, PC/ABS, and PBT/PC blends are used in electrical applications such as lighting, meters, ballasts, electrical boxes, safety yokes on power lines, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, etc. Important material properties for these applications include good tensile strength creep resistance high HDT...

The committee made two assumptions to formulate the interrelationships between application requirements and fiber properties. First, the combination of tensile strength, creep resistance, and rupture resistance exhibited by available SiC fibers is approaching theoretical limits. Second, enhancing the creep strength of oxide fibers by several hundred degrees centigrade may be possible although this has not been demonstrated. 

Mechanical stability (tensile strength, creep, fatigue limit, tenacity, fold-ability, based on weight)... 

The discussion of mechanical properties comprises the various contributions of elastic, viscoelastic and plastic deformation processes. Often two characteristic stress levels can be defined in the tensile curve of polymer fibers the yield stress, at which a significant drop in slope of the stress-strain curve occurs, and the stress at fracture, usually called the tensile strength or tenacity. In this section the relation is discussed between the morphology of fibers and films, made from lyotropic polymers, and their mechanical properties, such as modulus, tensile strength, creep, and stress relaxation. 

Polycarbonate. Polycarbonates (qv) provide resins with excellent mechanical properties, including stiffiiess, tensile strength, creep resistance, and the highest heat resistance of all rigid plastics. 

Heat engines have limited efficiencies which are determined by the Carnot cycle. Practical issues reduce the efficiency of steam engines, due to limits of ccaivective heat transfer and viscous flow (friction). There are also mechanical considerations, for example, limitations imposed by the materials such as nonideal properties of the working gas, thermal conductivity, tensile strength, creep, mpture strength, and melting point.
