Viscoelastic mechanism

In consideration of the clinical importance of being able to visualize any implant material within the body, radio-opaque hydrogels for NPR have been formulated [69]. Copolymers of iodobenzoyl-oxo-ethyl methacrylate (4IEMA) and hydrophilic PVP or hydroxylethyl methacrylate (HEMA) exhibit appropriate swelling characteristics, viscoelastic mechanical properties, and excellent cytocompatibility [69]. Moreover, inclusion of the covalently attached iodine molecules allowed for hydrogel visualization via X-ray in a porcine cadaveric spine model [69],... [Pg.210]

VISCOELASTICITY. Mechanical behavior of material which exhibits viscous and delayed clastic response to stress in addition to instantaneous elasticity. Such properries can be considered to be associated with rate effects—time derivatives of arbitrary order of both stress and strain appearing in the constitutive equation—or hereditary or memory influences which include the history of the stress and strain variation from the undisturbed state. See also Rheology. [Pg.1697]

The use of the term glassy-like for this zone arises from the fact that the viscoelastic mechanisms associated with the response are believed to involve local motions, such as occurs in the glassy state. The response in this region is independent of molecular weight, and the creep comphance function obeys Andrade s equation (18,19)... [Pg.328]

Because st is dimensionless, s has the units of reciprocal time and is commonly expressed as = 1 /x. The parameter x, called relaxation time, is taken to be the time at which t = x, that is, the time at which G(t) = Gq/c. This approximation, however, fails even for rather simple viscoelastic systems. In fact, the curve obtained for G(t) using Eq. (9.2) drops much more rapidly than that corresponding to real systems (see Fig. 9.1). A better description of these systems is achieved by using a sum of exponentials (1-5), for example, Gi exp(-5 t). By assuming that the relaxation times of the viscoelastic mechanisms involved in the relaxation process vary continuously between 0 and oo, the sum can be replaced by an integral in such a way that G t) may be considered the Laplace transform of an unknown function N s) (2). According to this,... [Pg.360]

Rubber is a viscoelastic solid formed by crosslinking a polymer, which is initially a viscoelastic liquid. In spite of this difference there still are some common issues in understanding the physics of the glass temperature and the viscoelastic mechanisms in the softening dispersion (i.e., called the glass-rubber transition zone in Ferry (1980). A case in point can be taken by comparing the viscoelastic behavior of the neat epoxy resin Epon lOOlF (Plazek and... [Pg.217]

An overview of the physics of glassy polymers and the relationships between molecular mechanisms and macroscopic physical, mechanical and transport properties of polymer glasses is presented. The importance of local translational and/or rotational motions of molecular segments in the glass is discussed in terms of the implications for thermodynamic descriptions of the glass (configurational states and energy surfaces) as well as history dependent properties such as expansivity, refractive index, gas permeability, and viscoelastic mechanical behaviour. [Pg.2]

We have previously introduced viscoelastic mechanical models, but we may also use electronic models as well. The mechanical spring can be replaced by a capacitor, which stores electronic energy, according to Coulomb s law ... [Pg.73]

Tschoegl s result is especially interesting in the light of a recent proposal by Shuttleworth (1968, 1969) that equilibrium polymer-filler debonding is responsible for decreased tensile strength at elevated temperatures. This is contrary to the viscoelastic mechanism of high-temperature failure of Halpin and Bueche (1964), which was developed in an earlier section. A possible resolution of the relative importance of the two proposed mechanisms could lie in the application of Tschoegl s experiment to carbon black- or silica-reinforced materials. [Pg.332]

Since the distribution function of retardation times (the retardation spectrum L) is a measure of the population of viscoelastic mechanisms along the time scale [17], one of the simplest propositions for obtaining the tear energy T C) from a material s viscoelastic behavior would be... [Pg.213]
