Elastic constants of lead-bismuth alloys

A study of ultrasonic velocities and internal friction has been carried out in Pb-Bi alloys in the concentration range of 0 to 49.5 atomic % Bi using the composite oscillator technique. From the velocity and density data a set of elastic constants namely, Young’s modulus, rigidity modulus, bulk modulus and Poisson’s ratio are estimated. The results are interpreted in terms of the phase changes occurring in the alloy system. Internal friction is found to be more sensitive than the elastic constants to the phase changes.     

Zum Fließverhalten kurzglasfasergefüllter Thermoplastschmelzen im stationären und instationären Bereich

Zusammenfassung Durch Zugabe von Glasfasern wird das rheologische Verhalten von Kunststoffschmelzen verändert. Kurzglasfasergefüllte Styrol-Acrylnitril-Copolymere mit verschiedenen Füllgraden wurden mit dem Rotations-und dem Kapillarrheometer untersucht. Sowohl im stationären Bereich als auch im instationären Bereich (Anlauf- und Abklingverhalten) sind Unterschiede zum ungefüllten Material festzustellen: Mit Zunahme des Faseranteils steigt der Schubmodul, und das viskoelastische Überschwingen wird geringer als bei ungefüllten Systemen. Erhöhung von Temperatur, Schergeschwindigkeit und Faseranteil führen zu einer Verkürzung der Relaxationszeiten, Steigerung des hydrostatischen Druckes erwartungsgemäß zu deren Verlängerung.

Summary The rheological behaviour of polymer melts is changed by addition of glass fibres. Experiments were conducted with styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers filled with various amounts of short fibres on a rotational and a capillary rheometer, both under steadystate and transient conditions. It is observed that by adding fibres the shear modulus increases but the stress overshoot decreases. With increase of temperature, shear rate and fibre content relaxation times become shorter whereas with higher hydrostatic pressures they grow longer, as is to be expected.

The Effect of Temperature on Lattice Mechanical Properties of Noble and Transition Metals

A simple pseudopotential model is used for the calculation of the temperature dependence of lattice mechanical properties which also depend on the phonon density of states such as lattice heat capacity C _V , Debye temperature _D, harmonic contribution to free energy, thermal pressure, isothermal bulk modulus corrected to the fourth order, volume thermal expansion coefficient , Debye-Waller factor, mean-square displacement, Debye-Waller temperature parameter, and X-ray characteristic temperature _M of Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ir. The contribution of d-like electrons is taken into account by introducing repulsive short-range Born-Mayer-like term. Very recently proposed screening function due to Sarkar et al. has been used to obtain the screened form factor. The theoretical results are compared with experimental findings wherever possible. A good agreement between theoretical investigations and experimental findings show the ability of our model potential to reproduce wide class of properties in noble and transition metals.     

Elastic properties of poly(hydroxybutyrate) molecules

Elasticity of various poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) molecules of regular and irregular conformational structure was examined by the molecular mechanics (MM) calculations. Force - distance functions and the Young's moduli E were computed by stretching of PHB molecules. Unwinding of the 2(1) helical conformation H is characterized at small deformations by the Young's modulus E = 1.8 GPa. The H form is transformed on stretching into the highly extended twisted form E, similar to the beta-structure observed earlier by X-ray fiber diffraction. The computations revealed that in contrast to paraffins, the planar all-trans structure of undeformed PHB is bent. Hence, a PHB molecule attains the maximum contour length in highly straightened, but slightly twisted conformations. A dependence of the single-chain moduli of regular and disordered conformations on the chain extension ratio x was found. The computed data were used to analyze elastic response of tie (bridging) molecules in the interlamellar (IL) region of a semi-crystalline PHB. A modification of the chain length distribution function of tie molecules tau(N) due to secondary crystallization of PHB was conjectured. The resulting narrow distribution tau(N) comprises the taut tie molecules of higher chain moduli prone to overstressing. The molecular model outlined is in line with the macroscopically observed increase in the modulus and brittleness of PHB with storage time.

Evaluation of elastic modulus of cantilever beam by TA-ESPI

The paper proposes an evaluation technique for the elastic modulus of a cantilever beam by vibration analysis based on time average electronic speckle pattern interferometry (TA-ESPI) and Euler-Bernoulli equation. General approaches for the measurement of elastic modulus of a thin film are the Nano indentation test, Buldge test, Micro-tensile test, and so on. They each have strength and weakness in the preparation of the test specimen and the analysis of experimental results. ESPI is a type of laser speckle interferometry technique offering non-contact, high-resolution and whole-field measurement. The technique is a common measurement method for vibration mode visualization and surface displacement. Whole-field vibration mode shape (surface displacement distribution) at resonance frequency can be visualized by ESPI. And the maximum surface displacement distribution from ESPI can be used to find the resonance frequency for each vibration mode shape. And the elastic modules of a test material can be easily estimated from the measured resonance frequency and Euler-Bernoulli equation. The TA-ESPI vibration analysis technique can be used to find the elastic modulus of a material requiring simple preparation process and analysis.
