Pentacoordinate Silicon Complexes as Precursors to Silicate Glasses and Ceramics
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1994-04)
Basic longitudinal texture and fracturing process in thermoset polymers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-02)
The “basic longitudinal texture”, which is present everywhere on the fracture surfaces of glassy thermosets and is the finest texture observed on such surfaces, consists of low ridges and shallow grooves that are aligned ...
Polycrystalline Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Fibers from Colloidal Sols
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1995-08)
Effects of proton irradiation on the microstructure and microchemistry of type 304L stainless steel
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
A research program has been undertaken to determine the origins of irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in austenitic alloys in light water reactors, and the effect of impurities on IASCC susceptibility. ...
The importance of constraint relief caused by rubber cavitation in the toughening of epoxy
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-12)
Many rubber-toughened epoxies are thought to derive the bulk of their toughness through the processes of rubber cavitation and plastic shear-yielding in the epoxy matrix. Constraint relief has been considered to be a key ...
Effects of irradiation on intergranular stress corrosion cracking
(Elsevier, 1994-10)
Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) is a pervasive and generic problem in current light water reactor and advanced reactor designs that can lead to widespread component failure. IASCC is believed to be due to ...
Prediction of Physical Aging in Controlled-Release Coatings: The Application of the Relaxation Coupling Model to Glassy Cellulose Acetate
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-06)
The effect of physical aging on both the water transport properties and the mechanical properties of glassy cellulose acetate was investigated. Results indicate a reduction in the mechanical rate of relaxation as well as ...
Fracture behavior of shear key structures with a softening process zone
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-02)
The objective of this paper is to investigate the fracture behavior of short fiber reinforced ceramic structures by means of the fracture mechanics approach. In this paper, structural stability in relation to crack growth ...
Ductility and toughenability study of epoxy resins under multiaxial stress states
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
The local strains in unmodified and rubber-modified epoxies under multiaxial stress states were examined. Matrix ductility was varied by using epoxide resins of different epoxide monomer molecular weights. The stress state ...
