Download or read book Mechanics of Solid Polymers written by Jorgen S Bergstrom and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few polymer mechanics problems are solved with only pen and paper today, and virtually all academic research and industrial work relies heavily on finite element simulations and specialized computer software. Introducing and demonstrating the utility of computational tools and simulations, Mechanics of Solid Polymers provides a modern view of how solid polymers behave, how they can be experimentally characterized, and how to predict their behavior in different load environments. Reflecting the significant progress made in the understanding of polymer behaviour over the last two decades, this book will discuss recent developments and compare them to classical theories. The book shows how best to make use of commercially available finite element software to solve polymer mechanics problems, introducing readers to the current state of the art in predicting failure using a combination of experiment and computational techniques. Case studies and example Matlab code are also included. As industry and academia are increasingly reliant on advanced computational mechanics software to implement sophisticated constitutive models – and authoritative information is hard to find in one place - this book provides engineers with what they need to know to make best use of the technology available. Helps professionals deploy the latest experimental polymer testing methods to assess suitability for applications Discusses material models for different polymer types Shows how to best make use of available finite element software to model polymer behaviour, and includes case studies and example code to help engineers and researchers apply it to their work

Download or read book Structural Modeling of Dynamic Polymer Networks written by Eric Allen Alt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer network based gels are an important class of materials with a wide range of applications. Dynamic polymer networks, which crosslink via the formation of reversible bonds, in particular have great potential as stimuli responsive, mechanically tunable, and self-healing materials. Many important emergent properties of these materials, such as mechanical strength, are mediated by their underlying network structure, which can be characterized by the network topology and spatial distribution of nodes. Therefore, unlocking the full potential of these materials through rational design requires an understanding of how network structure arises as a function of network-forming precursor design. Because the bonds that crosslink dynamic polymer networks are reversible, stresses initially present or otherwise induced in these systems can be relieved through network rearrangement. As such, given sufficient time to relax, the network structure is determined by equilibrium thermodynamics. This work presents a thermodynamic formalism which characterizes the free energy of a network in terms of node positional, network topological, and polymer conformational entropies. Through this lens, and aided by numerical calculations and simulations of model networks, we show how the free energy landscape with respect to density relates to factors which can be readily controlled through precursor design, such as polymer length and node size. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations of explicit networks reveal that thermodynamic relaxation can give rise to spatial heterogeneity in the arrangement of network nodes. In the last chapter we use the tools developed in the earlier chapters to explore how these same design parameters influence the topological statistics of equilibrium networks. In addition to showing how internode connectivity increases with polymer length and system density, we find that inhomogeneity due to spatial relaxation can also lead to greater network connectivity. Finally, we explore the weakening of network topologies due to substitution of polymer-linked node forming components with topologically non-functional counterparts, finding that larger nodes fare better than their smaller counterparts in maintaining network connectivity when these substitutions are made.
Download or read book Aerogels Handbook written by Michel Andre Aegerter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerogels are the lightest solids known. Up to 1000 times lighter than glass and with a density as low as only four times that of air, they show very high thermal, electrical and acoustic insulation values and hold many entries in Guinness World Records. Originally based on silica, R&D efforts have extended this class of materials to non-silicate inorganic oxides, natural and synthetic organic polymers, carbon, metal and ceramic materials, etc. Composite systems involving polymer-crosslinked aerogels and interpenetrating hybrid networks have been developed and exhibit remarkable mechanical strength and flexibility. Even more exotic aerogels based on clays, chalcogenides, phosphides, quantum dots, and biopolymers such as chitosan are opening new applications for the construction, transportation, energy, defense and healthcare industries. Applications in electronics, chemistry, mechanics, engineering, energy production and storage, sensors, medicine, nanotechnology, military and aerospace, oil and gas recovery, thermal insulation and household uses are being developed with an estimated annual market growth rate of around 70% until 2015. The Aerogels Handbook summarizes state-of-the-art developments and processing of inorganic, organic, and composite aerogels, including the most important methods of synthesis, characterization as well as their typical applications and their possible market impact. Readers will find an exhaustive overview of all aerogel materials known today, their fabrication, upscaling aspects, physical and chemical properties, and most recent advances towards applications and commercial products, some of which are commercially available today. Key Features: •Edited and written by recognized worldwide leaders in the field •Appeals to a broad audience of materials scientists, chemists, and engineers in academic research and industrial R&D •Covers inorganic, organic, and composite aerogels •Describes military, aerospace, building industry, household, environmental, energy, and biomedical applications among others
