Strength of glass laminates at low temperatures and high strain rates

The tensile strengths of glass laminates of various compositions under standard, high-speed and impact loading have been experimentally investigated in relation to the effect of low-temperature and stress raisers. As the loading rate increases (from 0.7 to 253 · 10³ kgf/cm². · sec) and the temperature falls to –196° C, the effective stress concentration coefficient decreases, which indicates that the glass laminates will perform adequately under these conditions.All-Union Scientific-Research Institute of Aviation Materials, Moscow.

Nitrosation of salts of 1-hydroxyimino-2,2-dinitro-1-R-ethanes,a novel method for the preparation of isomeric 3(4)-nitro-4(3)-R-furoxans

A novel general method for the synthesis of isomeric 3(4)-nitro-4(3)-R-furoxans is developed. 3-Nitro isomers were obtained by reaction of hydroximoyl chlorides with dinitromethane sodium salt followed by conversion of the resulting 1-substituted 1-hydroxyimino-2,2-dinitroethanes into dipotassium (or disodium salts) and their subsequent nitrosation with NaNO₂ in AcOH or with N₂O₄. Thermal isomerization of 3-nitro isomers afforded 4-nitro isomers were prepared in high yields.

Dispersion of the mechanical characteristics of plastics at various temperatures

The results of an investigation of the dispersion (standard deviation s and coefficient of variation V) of the static and dynamic strengths of plastics are described. The effect of temperature, state of stress, and type of plastic on the dispersion characteristics is considered.Moscow. Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, No. 1, pp. 29–34, January–February, 1970.
