Total impact energy

For pure particle erosion, a value of n of the order of 3 is frequently found. This can be explained by a consideration of the kinetic energy of the particles hitting the surface. The total impact energy per area unit and time unit is Vi mv. m is the sum of the particle mass per area and time unit. At constant concentration c, m is...

In automotive TPO applications, impact strength is often required at -30 to -40°C. Most medium-impact ICP resins, which contain around 9% ethylene, do not perform satisfactorily at these temperatures. In practice it is found that a minimum concentration of elastomeric phase of about 10-15 wt% is required for significant impact enhancement at these temperatures. Figure 7.22 shows data on plastomer-ICP blends for total impact energy and maximum force as a function of modifier level at -40°C and 3.8-m/sec test speed. At 5 wt% plastomer concentration, the sample exhibits brittle failure. At 10 wt% plastomer, there is a distinct yield point with some drawing of the sample after the yield, but the energy absorbed from yield to break is far less than the energy to yield. Therefore,... 

Measurement of the force time curve so that the input energy to maximum force can be determined, as well as the total impact energy. 

CONCEPT OF BASIC INITIATING PARAMETER. Since no direct theoretical method of predicting detonation incidence rate apparently exists, the only practical method of solution appears to be recourse to a statistical correlation of the controlled experimental data with frequency of occurrence data in the desired field application, using the best linking parameter that can be determined to establish the characteristic constants of an appropriate form of generalized empirical reaction rate equation. Past attempts to obtain a general statistical correlation have frequently been hampered by an erroneous assumption that the total impact energy constituted the sole independent experimental test parameter. The inadequacy of this as sumption is clearly shown in Fig, 2, which is based on test results reported by Lucas [5]. 

Thin films of materials tested included two semi-crystalline polymers PE and PP above their corresponding glass transition temperatures Tg, and three fully amorphous polymers PS, PC, and PMMA well below The authors concluded The maximum penetration depth jc ax was found to scale linearly with the residual depth X, for all six polymers, irrespective of material strain rate sensitivity. The ratio Ix is related directly to the ratio of total impact energy W IW" dissipated via an elastic deformation of the material.

The impact energy generated by each piston as it changes direction is clearly visible in the vibration profile. Since all pistons complete a full cycle each time the crankshaft completes one full revolution, the total energy of all pistons is displayed at the fundamental (lx) and second harmonic (2x) locations. 

As previously described (Chapter 2), the area under short-term stress-strain curves provides a guide to a material s toughness and impact performance (Fig. 7-6). The ability of a TP to absorb energy is a function of its strength and its ductility that tends to be inversely related. The total absorbable energy is proportional to the area within the lines drawn to the appropriate point on the curve from the axis. The material in area A is...

The reactant molecule BC is specified to be in an initial vibrational v and rotational state 7, which determines p and allows R to be set to the maximum bond extension compatible with total vibrational energy. The initial relative velocity uR may be varied systematically or it may be chosen at random from Boltzmann distribution function. The orientation angle, which specify rotational phase and impact parameter b are selected at random.

For more complex projectiles and targets, additional features become apparent in the spectra of ejected electrons. Doubly differential cross sections for ionization of CH4 by 0.3 MeV/u ions (3.6 MeV total projectile energy), taken from some of the author s unpublished work, are shown in Fig. 17 to illustrate the increasing complexity of dressed-ion collisions compared to that for bare ions represented in Fig. 9 by proton impact. In Fig. 17, the cross sections are seen to have their maximum at very low energy ejected electrons as was the case for proton impact, and, although their shape is not as sharp and... 

The impact of a UV/Visible photon on an isolated molecule modifies the term ciec in equation (11.1), determining the quantification and variation of its total mechanical energy. This electronic perturbation is also accompanied by modification in the terms rot and vib that correspond to the transition. Many such transitions are possible within the same molecule (Fig. 11.2). These transitions are related to the excitation of valence electrons.
