Download or read book Mechanical Properties and Testing of Polymers written by G.M. Swallowe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a continuation of the Polymer Science and Technology series edited by Dr. D. M. Brewis and Professor D. Briggs. The theme of the series is the production of a number of stand alone volumes on various areas of polymer science and technology. Each volume contains short articles by a variety of expert contributors outlining a particular topic and these articles are extensively cross referenced. References to related topics included in the volume are indicated by bold text in the articles, the bold text being the title of the relevant article. At the end of each article there is a list of bibliographic references where interested readers can obtain further detailed information on the subject of the article. This volume was produced at the invitation of Derek Brewis who asked me to edit a text which concentrated on the mechanical properties of polymers. There are already many excellent books on the mechanical properties of polymers, and a somewhat lesser number of volumes dealing with methods of carrying out mechanical tests on polymers. Some of these books are listed in Appendix 1. In this volume I have attempted to cover basic mechanical properties and test methods as well as the theory of polymer mechanical deformation and hope that the reader will find the approach useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delivers practical insight into a broad range of fields related to hard coatings, from their deposition and characterization up to the hardening and deformation mechanisms allowing the interpretation of results. The text examines relationships between structure/microstructure and mechanical properties from fundamental concepts, through types of coatings, to characterization techniques. The authors explore the search for coatings that can satisfy the criteria for successful implementation in real mechanical applications.
Download or read book The Hardness of Metals written by David Tabor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-08-03 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to explain hardness measurements of metals in terms of some of their more basic physical properties. The intention is to provide, for physicists, engineers, and metallurgists, a better understanding of what hardness means and what hardness measurements imply. The author emphasises the physical concepts involved, so that non-mathematical readers can grasp and appreciate the general physical picture without needing to follow the more detailed mathematical treatment.

Download or read book Indentation Hardness and Its Measurement written by D. Tabor and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses some of the main developments in our understanding of indentation hardness during the last 20 years and indicates the limitations of several current models. In particular, it deals critically with the expanding spherical cavity as applied to elastic-plastic solids and to solids with marked creep. It also discusses the problem of load application, the indentation behavior of single crystals, the hardness of semiconductors, and recent developments in crack formation by indentations in plastic-brittle solids. Finally, it deals with the more specific problem of hardness at extremely small loads and the practical as well as theoretical difficulties involved in characterizing microhardness in terms of depth of penetration.

Download or read book Improved Indentation Depth Method of Hardness Measurement written by YV. Ezhov and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the determination of the indentation hardness of a metal by pressing a ball into its surface, it is shown that the use of a modified procedure that compensates for testing-instrument backlash when measuring indentation depths gives good reproducibility of measurement, approaching the reproducibility found when measuring indentation diameters. This suggests that the need to measure the indentation diameter in the standard Brinell hardness test may be unnecessary, since comparable precision can be obtained by measuring the indentation depth, overall a simpler procedure.
Download or read book Mechanical Properties and Deformation Behavior of Materials Having Ultra Fine Microstructures written by Michael Anthony Nastasi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1993 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the emerging class of new materials characterized by ultra-fine microstrucures. The NATO ASI which produced this book was the first international scientific meeting devoted to a discussion of the mechanical properties and deformation behavior of materials having grain sizes down to a few nanometers. Topics covered include superplasticity, tribology, and the supermodulus effect. Review chapters cover a variety of other themes including synthesis, characterization, thermodynamic stability, and general physical properties. Much of the work is concerned with the issue of how far conventional techniques and concepts can be extended toward atomic scale probing. Another key issue concerns the structure of nanocrystalline materials, in particular, what is the structure and composition of the internal boundaries. These ultra-fine microstructures have proved to challenge even the finest probes that the materials science community has today.

Download or read book In Situ Assessment of Structural Timber written by Bohumil Kasal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-03-10 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood is one of the most intriguing structural materials and the only one that is truly renewable. Along with stone, wood is the oldest structural material on the planet and has been extensively used throughout human history. Due to its aesthetical value and positive environmental impact, wood has experienced a renaissance in construction. As a biodegradable, hygroscopic, non-isotropic material, wood presents special challenges for a professional and requires through knowledge ranging from biology to continuum mechanics. This state-of-the-art report reflects the current knowledge in the area of in situ assessment of the physical and mechanical properties of wood structures. Nondestructive, semi-destructive and destructive methods are described in a systematic manner where technology, equipment and limitations are discussed. Some of the discussed methods are used in other materials such as masonry and concrete. Most of the methods, however, are specific to wood and special qualifications are required to understand and apply these methods effectively. Existing methods are constantly improved and new methods are being developed. This report includes methods that are used in practice or have shown significant promise and have a body of knowledge that supports statements made in this report. This is a useable tool for professionals, researchers, educators and students
