Abstract The mechanical and other properties of natural and synthetic rubbers can be regulated by the incorporation of fillers. The mechanical behavior of the resulting complicated heterogeneous systems is often difficult to describe theoretically. These vulcanizates have wide and useful applications under conditions of multiaxial stresses. In many cases, however, the stresses act mainly in compression, for instance, in gaskets, seals, suspension systems for vibration insulation, etc. Thus the stress relaxation properties in compression are of vital importance. In spite of this, very few studies have given attention to the stress-strain relations in compression, and the results reported in the literature concentrate mainly on the mechanical behavior of rubbers in tension. We now report a study of the isochronous stress-strain relation in compression for some rubbers at 295 K, based on stress relaxation measurements. A comparison is made between the behavior of samples which have been greased and of samples which have been glued to the deformation plates.

Glulam bamboo has been preliminarily explored for use as a structural building material, and its stress–strain model under axial loading has a fundamental role in the analysis of bamboo components. To study the tension and compression behaviour of glulam bamboo, the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo as two kinds of typical glulam bamboo materials were tested under axial loading. Their mechanical behaviour and failure modes were investigated. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo have similar failure modes. For tensile failure, bamboo fibres were ruptured with sawtooth failure surfaces shown as brittle failure; for compression failure, the two modes of compression are buckling and compression shear failure. The stress–strain relationship curves of the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo are also similar. The tensile stress–strain curves showed a linear relationship, and the compressive stress–strain curves can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastoplastic and post-yield. Based on the test results, the stress–strain model was proposed for glulam bamboo, in which a linear equation was used to describe the tensile stress–strain relationship and the Richard–Abbott model was employed to model the compressive stress–strain relationship. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental curves.

Abstract A high-speed, tensile-testing device was used to determine the stress—strain behavior of uncompounded butadiene—acrylonitrile copolymers over a range of temperatures and deformation rates. The strain rates were varied from 267 to 26,700 per cent/sec and the temperature was varied from 25 to 97° C. The high-speed tester was also used for stress—relaxation measurements by applying the strain nearly instantly in conformity with theoretical requirements in order to obtain the short time behavior. The WLF equation was obtained from the stress—relaxation data and then used to reduce the ultimate properties to one temperature over four decades of the strain rates. The ultimate properties could be represented by a failure envelope similar to those obtained for vulcanizates.

The steady-state response problem of a uniform beam with a sinusoidal shaking force at the base is studied for the case where the beam material is the general linear substance represented by a model having an additional spring element in parallel with the Maxwell elements. In the analysis, the stress-strain relationship is applied only to the longitudinal strain of the beam, leaving the shear stress-strain relation to be that of a perfectly elastic material. The exact solution with a numerical example is given for one case where the shear and rotatory inertia effects are neglected. This result is compared with the solution obtained by a tabular method. The results of both methods are in excellent agreement.

The axial compressive stress-strain relationship of concrete reflects its basic mechanical performance, which is important in analyzing the performance of materials, especially in the analyzing of the elastic modulus, ductility and carrying capacity. In order to study the mechanical properties of polymer-modified concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete, a comparative study of the compressive stress-strain relationship of polymer-modified concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete was carried out, the complete compressive stress-strain curves were obtained, and the influence of polymer and steel fiber on concrete elastic modulus and compressive ductility was also studied. It is demonstrated that the compressive ductility index of steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete can reach 7.39 which is greater than that of polymer-modified concrete with the same ingredients. The results also show that steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete is better than both polymer-modified concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete.
