Velocity-stress curve

The elastic stress curve in figure perfectly follows elastic strain [2]. This constant is the elastic modulus of the material. In this idealized example, this would be equal to Young s modulus. Here at this point of maximum stretch, the viscous stress is not a maximum, it is zero. This state is called Newton s law of viscosity, which states that, viscous stress is proportional to strain rate. Rubber has some properties of a liquid. At the point when the elastic band is fully stretched and is about to return, its velocity or strain rate is zero, and therefore its viscous stress is also zero. 

The stress at the interface was measured as a function of temperature and sliding velocity for the resin using the equipment shown in Fig. 4.11, and the data are shown in Fig. 12.33. The stress curve had two maximums the first peak was at the Tg of the resin at 150 °C, and the second peak occurred at a temperature of about 240 °C. In order to maximize solids conveying while maintaining a viable process, the optimal forwarding forces would occur at a barrel surface temperature near 240 °C, and the retarding forces at the screw surfaces would be minimized at temperatures less than about 120 °C. In order to maintain the high rate of this line and the inside barrel wall at a temperature near 240 °C, the first zone of the extruder needed to be maintained at a temperature of 310 °C. 

Moduli, tensile strengths and elongations at break are performed on a mechanical tensile tester (Instron 4204-GB) according to French standard NFT 51-034, with injected dumbbell specimens (length x thickness 150 x 4 mm2) conditioned at 54% RH and 23°C. Strain-stress curves are obtained with a velocity of 50 mm/min. Each mechanical parameter is determined from ten tested specimens.

Fig. 7. Crack velocity as a function of the applied stress intensity, Kj. Water and other corrosive species reduce the Kj required to propagate a crack at a given velocity. Increasing concentrations of reactant species shifts curve upward. Regions I, II, and III are discussed in text.

Hugoniot curve A curve representing all possible final states that can be attained by a single shock wave passing into a given initial state. It may be expressed in terms of any two of the five variables shock velocity, particle velocity, density (or specific volume), normal stress (or pressure), and specific internal energy. This curve it not the loading path in thermodynamic space. 

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... 

Fig. 3.3. Stress-particle velocity characterizations of many materials have been documented. The explosive cross curves superposed on the materials responses provide approximate loading stress levels to be determined from the intersection of the explosive and material curves. For example, the detonation of TNT produces a pressure of 25 GPa in 2024 aluminum alloy.

Fracture Mechanics Tests One problem of both sustained load and slow strain-rate tests is that they do not provide a means of predicting the behaviour of components containing defects (other than the inherent defect associated with the notch in a sustained load test). Fracture mechanics provides a basis for such tests (Section 8.9), and measurements of crack velocity as a function of stress intensity factor, K, are widely used. A typical graph of crack velocity as a function of K is shown in Fig. 8.48. Several regions may be seen on this curve. At low stress intensity factors no crack growth is... 

Fluids whose behaviour can be approximated by the power-law or Bingham-plastic equation are essentially special cases, and frequently the rheology may be very much more complex so that it may not be possible to fit simple algebraic equations to the flow curves. It is therefore desirable to adopt a more general approach for time-independent fluids in fully-developed flow which is now introduced. For a more detailed treatment and for examples of its application, reference should be made to more specialist sources/14-17) If the shear stress is a function of the shear rate, it is possible to invert the relation to give the shear rate, y = —dux/ds, as a function of the shear stress, where the negative sign is included here because velocity decreases from the pipe centre outwards. 

The shear rate is computed locally using a global curve fit to the velocity profile. If AP/L is the pressure drop driving the flow across the pipe length L, the shear stress o(r) is expressed as... 

In general, the velocity profile will be curved but as equation 1.33 contains only the local velocity gradient it can be applied in these cases also. An example is shown in Figure 1.13. Clearly, as the velocity profile is curved, the velocity gradient is different at different values of y and by equation 1.32 the shear stress r must vary withy. Flows generated by the application of a pressure difference, for example over the length of a pipe, have curved velocity profiles. In the case of flow in a pipe or tube it is natural to use a cylindrical coordinate system as shown in Figure 1.14. 

Various arrangements at the bottom of the inner cylinder are available in Figure 3.2 an indentation is provided so that an air gap is formed and shearing in the sample below the inner cylinder is negligible. Another arrangement is to make the bottom of the inner cylinder a cone. When one of the cylinders is rotated, a Couette flow is generated with fluid particles describing circular paths. The only non-zero velocity component is ve and it varies in the r-direction. In order to minimize secondary flow (Taylor vortices) it is preferable that the outer cylinder be rotated however, in most commercial instruments it is the inner cylinder that rotates. In this case, the fluid s velocity is equal to IXR, at the surface of the inner cylinder and falls to zero at the surface of the outer cylinder. The shear stress is uniform over the curved surface of the inner cylinder and over the outer cylinder (to the bottom of the annular gap). 

The spreading behavior of droplets on a non-flat surface is not only dependent on inertia and viscous effects, but also significantly influenced by an additional normal stress introduced by the curved surface. This stress leads to the acceleration-deceleration effect, or the hindering effect depending on the dimensionless roughness spacing, and causes the breakup and ejection of liquid. Increasing impact velocity, droplet diameter, liquid density, and/or... 

For this simple geometry the shear rate, 7, is equal to the difference between the velocity at the top of the element, U, and the velocity at the bottom of the element, zero, divided by the height of element H. The shear stress is again r = F/A, the element surface area divided by the force. The viscosity, q, is the ratio of shear stress, r, divided by shear rate, 7, at any shear rate, q = rjq. For Newtonian materials such as water, molasses, or gasoline at the nominal shear rates found in everyday life, the slope of the shear stress with shear rate curve is a constant and equal to the Newtonian viscosity. 

In Refs. l7 18,211 the uniaxial extension of polyethylene at a constant strain velocity was considered. Figure 6 gives the dependencies of effective viscosity a/x (a is tensile stress, x is strain velocity) upon time t obtained in final form in Ref.21K The stationary flow (i.e., a constant, value of a/x) was attained practically for all values of x. The higher x, the higher passes the respective curve. The lower curve 3a12/y (here a12 is...
