For a Hookian material, the concept of minimum strain energy states that a material fails, for example cell wall disruption occurs, when the total strain energy per unit volume attains a critical value. Such an approach has been used in the past to describe a number of experimental observations on the breakage of filamentous micro-organisms [78,79]. Unfortunately, little direct experimental data are available on the Young s modulus of elasticity, E, or shear modulus of elasticity G representing the wall properties of biomaterial. Few (natural) materials behave in an ideal Hookian manner and in the absence of any other information, it is not unreasonable to assume that the mechanical properties of the external walls of biomaterials will be anisotropic and anelastic.

The Physical Properties are listed next. Under this loose term a wide range of properties, including mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties of elements are presented. Such properties include color, odor, taste, refractive index, crystal structure, allotropic forms (if any), hardness, density, melting point, boiling point, vapor pressure, critical constants (temperature, pressure and vol-ume/density), electrical resistivity, viscosity, surface tension. Young s modulus, shear modulus, Poisson s ratio, magnetic susceptibility and the thermal neutron cross section data for many elements. Also, solubilities in water, acids, alkalies, and salt solutions (in certain cases) are presented in this section. 

The properties of the Nicalon /SiC (PIP) system followed a similar pattern (A/c(ou) = 400°C, A rc(omc) = 500°C), though this system failed through an interlaminar shear failure process (delamination) and the property reduction saturated at A T= 600°C. The Nicalon /SiC (CVI) system failed by fracture through fibre planes but its properties (ou, omc, WOF) had the same critical temperature difference, A Tc = 700°C. The pre- and post-quench stress-displacement curves for this material can be seen in Fig. 15.9. However, measurement of the Young s modulus of this system before and after quenching by means of a dynamic mechanical resonance technique showed the onset of decrease at ATC(E) = 400°C, i.e. significantly lower than the A 7C of the other properties. 

The mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules have been subject of several studies using different methods. Baumler and co-workers [7] have used the micropipette technique and found that PMCs are not conserving their volume if pressure differences are applied between inside and outside of the shell. This is expected, since the shells can only be formed in first place because the membrane is permeable to low molecular weight species, the core dissolution products. They found no deformation up to a critical pressure followed by an irreversible collapse, showing that shells deform not elastically but plastically for large deformations. First quantitative estimates of the Young s modulus of the shell material were obtained by Gao and coworkers, using osmotic pressure differences between inside and outside of the shell [8,9], These authors monitored the onset of the buck-... 

Figure 14.17(a) indicated that there also existed a critical irradiation dose level for Young s modulus, above which substantial property improvement in Young s modulus was observed. Young s modulus of the SWNT membrane was not substantially... 

A broad variety of rheological properties of disperse systems is reflected, for instance, in a large set of possible values of three main parameters the shear modulus, G (or the Young modulus, E), the viscosity, r, and the critical shear stress, x (the yield stress) [21]. 

Earlier in this chapter, when we discussed mechanical properties of disperse systems that revealed viscoplasic flow, we focused on the applied shear stress and the values of G, rj, t related to it. The strength in such systems was identical to the critical shear stress. In the case of mechanical behavior of compact and primarily elasto-brittle solids it is more appropriate for one to use the uniaxial tension, thus replacing shear stress, t, with tensile stress, p the shear modulus, G, with the Young modulus, E, and using the rupture resistance, Pa, as the strength characteristic (instead of f )...
