Abstract This paper reports the results of tension tests, to determine the suitability for photoelastic work, of five samples of Bakelite and two of Marblette at temperatures between 32 and 140 F. These results show the variation, of Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, stress-optical coefficient, and strain-optical coefficient with temperature. Stress-strain curves of the materials are also given showing the relative amounts of creep. The effect of heat-treatment on Marblette is shown by tests before and after annealing.

Under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, the influence of temperature on the gear system is extremely important. Basically, the current work on the effect of temperature mostly considers the flash temperature or the overall temperature field to cause expansion at the meshing point and then affects nonlinear factors such as time-varying meshing stiffness, which lead to the deterioration of the dynamic transmission. This work considers the effect of temperature on the material’s elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio and relates the temperature to the time-varying meshing stiffness. The effects of temperature on the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio are expressed as functions and brought into the improved energy method stiffness calculation formula. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the gear system are analyzed. With the bifurcation diagram, phase, Poincaré, and fast Fourier transform plots of the gear system, the influence of temperature on the nonlinear dynamics of the gear system is discussed. The numerical analysis results show that as the temperature increases, the dynamic response of the system in the middle-speed region gradually changes from periodic motion to chaos.

A formaldehyde-cellulose amorphous region model at the micro-level was established using the molecular dynamics software Materials Studio to simulate the change of cellulose and formaldehyde molecules in an external temperature field. The diffusion coefficients of formaldehyde molecules increased as the temperature increased. Moreover, the total number of hydrogen bonds decreased, and the interaction energy in the formaldehyde-cellulose model was reduced, which confirmed this conclusion and indicated that temperature increase could enhance the diffusion of formaldehyde in cellulose. The mechanical parameters of cellulose were analyzed in terms of Young’s modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and the ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus (K/G), which were affected by the temperature. The elastic modulus (E, G, and K) of cellulose decreased as the temperature increased, while the Poisson’s ratio V and K/G values increased. The results of the research explain how elevated temperature can promote the release of formaldehyde in furniture from a microscopic perspective, which supports each other with the results of previous experimental data and practical applications in production.

Abstract Presented here are results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the behavior of downhole pipe, surrounded by Overton sand or gravel, when subjected to shock from nuclear explosion. The principal effects investigated arelongitudinal friction between the pipe and the stemming material andresistance offered by the stemming material to transverse motion of the pipe. Introduction Stemming materials such as Overton sand and pea gravel are widely used in underground nuclear pea gravel are widely used in underground nuclear testing to ensure containment of the explosion. Present-day theories of mechanics suitable for predicting stresses and displacements within an predicting stresses and displacements within an array of particles of such materials are rather limited because of the stress-strain-time behavior and complicated boundary conditions involved. Thus, measurements representing gross effects only and linearized models of analysis must be relied upon in making the majority of engineering decisions where soil-structure interactions are encountered. Furthermore, because of the number of variables and hardware constraints present in designing deep-hole emplacement systems, the emphasis should be on obtaining experimental data on fullscale or nearly full-scale structural components in association with stemming materials of actual field quality. The experiment discussed in this paper was directed toward the development of basic mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, friction characteristics during axial (longitudinal) pipe motion through stemming materials, resistance pipe motion through stemming materials, resistance of stemming materials to transverse pipe displacement, and related physical phenomena that may have further bearing on the usual mechanical properties employed in various design analyses. properties employed in various design analyses. During evaluation of the basic mechanical properties, an attempt was made to develop a properties, an attempt was made to develop a Poisson's ratio type of data for the stemming Poisson's ratio type of data for the stemming materials at hand by using both specialized equipment and standard test equipment normally employed in soil mechanics. The results of the study, however, should be interpreted with due regard to the particulate nature of stemming materials, which do not represent a continuum with well defined stress-strain relationships. To obtain meaningful data on friction and transverse resistance characteristics, a special test rig was designed with particular emphasis on minimizing the scale effects and experimental errors usually encountered. In mechanics the term "friction" is the resistance to motion of two moving objects or surfaces that touch. In this paper we speak of several different types of micron, and therefore some clarification is needed. The friction between sand or gravel and the down-hole pipe as we attempt to move the pipe is one type of friction. A similar type is the friction developed between sand or gravel and the steel block it rubs against in the direct shear test apparatus. Those two examples of friction are rather straightforward, however, the following two present some confusion because they are both referred to as internal friction:Internal friction as used by engineering scientists, physicists, and metallurgists may be defined as the conversion of the mechanical energy of a vibrating solid into heat. This is also referred to as the damping capacity and corresponds to a phase difference between the applied stress and phase difference between the applied stress and its resultant strain.b soil mechanics the concept of internal friction corresponds to friction between the surfaces of individual grains of sand or gravel. In granular materials, both kinds of internal friction occur. In this paper the term "internal friction" is referred to extensively and is used exclusively in the sense of friction between particles. particles. FUNDAMENTALS OF SOIL MECHANICS The mechanical behavior of earth materials such as sand or gravel can be described by suitable physical constants reflecting certain physical constants reflecting certain stress-deformation relations that may then be applied in customary engineering predictions. In dealing with the rigidity of rocks, Young's modulus, E, and Poisson's ratio, are commonly used, and soil Poisson's ratio, are commonly used, and soil mechanics utilizes basic concepts of the theory of elasticity. By analogy to this well established practice, related concepts utilizing elastic practice, related concepts utilizing elastic constants in loading and unloading can be made applicable to stemming materials.

Abstract Stress, strain, and optical properties of three elastomeric styrene butadiene block copolymers containing 31, 40 and 49 wt per cent styrene were studied as a function of temperature. Mechanical and optical properties indicate that these materials are two phase systems in which the polybutadiene chains form an elastomeric phase and the polystyrene a glassy phase with the latter providing physical crosslinks. Birefringence measurements indicate that decreases in modulus and strength of these materials are associated with decrease in concentration of elastically effective network chains. Independence of stress-optical coefficient of temperature suggests that the decrease in concentration of elastically effective chains is not due to onset of rubberlike behavior or flow within the polystyrene regions themselves, at least for temperatures below about 70° C. Rather, the decrease seems to be associated with increased mobility of the polybutadiene chains at higher temperatures, which also leads to an increase in the rate of stress relaxation. Birefringence measured during extension and retraction showed that stress strain hysteresis is due to restricted mobility of polybutadiene chain segments rather than to permanent viscous flow or to change in the effective network structure of the block copolymers. The ultimate properties of these rubbers were well correlated with the effective network structure in undeformed specimens.

The mechanical and optical properties of a transparent epoxy are described, the response of which can be ‘locked-in’ at a critical temperature. The Poisson's ratio of this material is about 0.4, which is closer to the Poisson's ratio of common engineering materials than is that of the commonly used epoxies. Since the material is compressible, strain measurements on relaxed slices permit the complete determination of the stress field. Examples of applications to a solid and hollow sphere and to a tube, subjected to diametral compression, are given. The method permits the solution of three-dimensional problems by use of (1) photoelastic data only, (2) the moiré method only, or (3) mechanically obtained data only, or different combinations of them.

Abstract In this research, Poisson's ratio of plywood as obtained by a tension test was examined by varying the width of the specimen. The tension tests were conducted on five-plywood of lauan (Shorea sp.) with various widths, and Young's moduli and Poisson's ratios of the specimens were measured. Finite element calculations were independently conducted. A comparison of the experimental results with those of finite element analysis revealed that Young's modulus could be obtained properly when the width of the plywood strip varied. In contrast, the width of the plywood strip should be large enough to determine Poisson's ratio properly.

The structural, electronic, elastic and optical properties of tetragonal (P4mm) phase of Pb0.5Sn0.5TiO3 (PSTO) and Pb0.5Sn0.5Ti0.5(Zr0.5)O3 (PSTZO) are examined by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) using the pseudo-potential plane wave (PP-PW) scheme in the frame of generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We have calculated the ground state properties such as equlibrium lattice constants, volume, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative. From elastic constants, mechanical parameters such as anisotropy factor, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio are obtained from the Voigt-Reuss-Hill average approximation. Rather than their averages, the directional dependence of elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio are modelled and visualized in the light of the elastic properties of both systems. In addition, some novel results, such as Debye temperatures, and sound velocities are obtained. Moreover, we have presented the results of the electronic band structure, densities of states and charge densities. These results were in favourable agreement with the existing theoretical data. The optical dielectric function and energy loss spectrum of both systems are also computed. Born effective charge (BEC) of each atoms for both systems is computed from functional perturbation theory (DFPT). Finally, the spontaneous polarization is also determined from modern theory of polarization to be 0.8662 C/m2 (PSTO) and 1.0824 C/m2 (PSTZO).

The first-principles study of cubic perovskites SmXO3 (X = Al and Co) for elastic, mechanical and optical properties is done in the framework of density functional theory (DFT). Optimized structural parameters are obtained first to find mechanical and optical properties of the materials. These obtained structural parameters are in accordance with the published data. The cubic elastic parameters C[Formula: see text], C[Formula: see text] and C[Formula: see text] are then calculated by using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as an exchange correlation functional in Kohn–Sham equations. Poisson’s ratio, shear modulus, Young’s modulus and anisotropic factor are deduced from these elastic parameters. These compounds are found to be elastically anisotropic and SmAlO3 is brittle while SmCoO3 is ductile. Their covalent nature is also discussed by using Poisson’s ratio. In addition, optical properties like absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, energy loss function, dielectric function, refractive index, reflectivity and optical conductivity are studied. This study predicts that SmAlO3 and SmCoO3 are suitable for optoelectronic devices.
