Abstract The anisotropy induced in an ungelled SBR elastomer upon large scale deformation and the rate at which the deformed elastomer returns to its original state upon removal of the deforming force were investigated. In these experiments, a standard birefringence technique was unsuitable for measuring the extent of orientation after release, however, tensile stress-strain measurements successfully showed the presence of anisotropy. After prestraining and then releasing, samples have an initial resistance to deformation which is the same both parallel and perpendicular to the prestraining direction. However, testpieces cut parallel with the prestraining direction show stress-strain curves that lie above those for cross-cut specimens at high elongations, while cross-cut samples have stress-strain curves remarkably similar to those of the isotropic controls. With increasing time after prestraining or for larger prestrains, the normalized anisotropy, at intermediate elongations, becomes negative; that is, in this region, it becomes easier to deform “parallel” specimens than to deform “perpendicular” specimens. This phenomenon is proposed to be the result of two opposing entanglement networks—an original one, which remains in tension, and a compressed one, which was formed by chains re-entangling while the sample was extended. Although the shapes of the “parallel” and “perpendicular” stress-strain curves may be quite different, the total energy required to rupture the samples in both cases is similar. Finally, for a lightly crosslinked sample, it is demonstrated that after various prestrains, hold times, and relaxation times before testing after prestraining, the normalized anisotropy is a unique function of the residual extension at the moment when the specimens were tested.

Abstract For a gum elastomer in its amorphous, isotropic state, shear modulus and tensile modulus are related with a factor of three. This relation is maintained in the range of temperature and time scale defining the rubbery region of the material behavior. When a large deformation is imposed, for example, in tensile stress—strain measurements, the above relation may still be preserved, if the nonlinear behavior can be linearized. The strain—time correspondence principle is the linearization scheme of this work. When a gum elastomer contains various structural constraints, the factor three relation does not apply, even after the application of the above linearization scheme. Example of constraints are excessive amounts of long branches, gel, molecular associations, and reinforcing fillers. These constraints usually make the factor larger than three. This is because the constraints make the large, elongational deformation more difficult to achieve compared to shear deformation. An example of gum elastomer in this work is a polyethylacrylate containing a significant amount of gel. With this polymer, both the presence of gel and the molecular association act as the constraints. However, when 50 phr of carbon blacks are added, the fillers do not act as strong constraints as they do when they are in the diene rubbers. This is because the polyethylacrylate is known to have a weaker affinity to carbon black compared to the diene rubbers. Triblock copolymers, styrene—isoprene—styrene, were examined according to the above treatment; 25% polystyrene copolymer exhibited crosslink-like behavior by the polystyrene domains. However, 14% polystyrene copolymers acted as if they are no crosslinks. When these copolymers are diluted to 44% with an addition of 56% tackifier, the ratio of tensile to shear modulus became less than three. The styrene domains must have effective crosslinks at the small shear deformation, but at large tensile deformations such crosslinks must not be present.

Abstract The dynamic viscoelastic properties of four samples of butadiene—acrylonitrile raw elastomers, were obtained with a Rheovibron at 110 Hz and temperature range of −80 to 160°C. The complex properties were in agreement with the master curves obtained previously from stress-strain measurements. A master curve encompassing 13 decades of time was constructed using data from Mooney rheometer shear stress-strain, MTS high speed tensile stress-strain, and the Rheovibron. The master curve represents the rubbery region of viscoelastic behavior in terms of time, temperature, and the magnitude of deformation up to the breaking point. This study demonstrates that corresponding states can be found between small (ca. 1 per cent) and large deformation up to break (e.g., 1400 per cent).

Abstract This work is based on data previously obtained by the tensile stress-strain and dynamic-shear measurements with several gum rubbers and carbon-black-filled compounds. The gum rubbers were three NBR's of different molecular architecture and two SBR's, one of which was oil extended. The compounds contained 40 phr of N550 carbon black. Through the data treatment procedure developed in this work, the strain amplifications in the dynamic shear and tensile stress-strain measurements were evaluated with the uncrosslinked compounds. Each compound showed a unique pattern of strain amplification.

Cai Chen, Beygelzimer Y., Kulagin R., Davydenko O. Construction of tensile stress-strain curves for solid bars pre-deformed by gradient shear strain. Material working by pressure. 2020. № 1 (50). P. 114-118. Strain hardening curves were derived for the first time for tension of cylindrical solid bars in the presence of a linear strain gradient produced by severely pre-straining by torsion. An analytical formula was obtained, which enables constructing the local stress-strain curve. Data obtained for pure copper samples pre-twisted to different levels of shear strain were used. A saturation stage not known hitherto was found for large strains. One particularity of the present results is that for low tensile strains the tensile flow stress after torsion agrees well with the flow stress in monotonic tension. Another particularity of the results is that the tensile flow stress is constant after torsion at large strains, starting from about 1.5 strain. This effect was observed for the first time because the present technique is the first one to provide access to tensile flow stress after large strain torsion.

Wie erlebt der Hörer Jazz? Bei dieser Frage geht es unter anderem um die Art und Weise, wie Jazz die Zeit des Hörens gestaltet. Ein an klassischer Musik geschultes Ohr erwartet von musikalischer Zeitgestaltung, den zeitlichen Rahmen, der durch Anfang und Ende gesetzt ist, von innen heraus zu strukturieren und neu zu konstituieren. Doch das ist keine Erwartung, die dem Jazz gerecht wird. Im Jazz wird der Moment nicht im Hinblick auf ein Ziel gestaltet, das von einer übergeordneten Struktur bereitgestellt wird, sondern so, dass er den Bewegungsimpuls zum nächsten Moment weiterträgt. Wie wirkt sich dieses Prinzip der Zeitgestaltung auf die musikalische Form im Großen aus? Der Aufsatz untersucht diese Frage anhand von Beispielen, an denen sich der Weg der Transformation von einer klassischen zu einer dem Jazz angemessenen Form gut nachverfolgen lässt.<br><br>How do listeners experience Jazz? This is a question also about how Jazz music organizes the listening time. A classically educated listener expects a piece of music to structure, unify and thereby re-constitute the externally given time frame. Such an expectation is foreign to Jazz music which doesn’t relate the moment to a goal provided by a large scale structure. Rather, one moment is carried on to the next, preserving the stimulus potentially ad infinitum. How does such an organization of time affect the large scale form? The paper tries to answer this question by analyzing two examples which permit to trace the transformation of a classical form into a form germane to Jazz music.

One of the indicators of the effective use of artillery is the accuracy of the fire impact on the objects of enemy. The accuracy of the artillery is achieved by completing the implementation of all measures for the preparation of shooting and fire control. Main measures of ballistic preparation are to determine and take into account the summary deviation of the initial velocity. The existing procedure for determining the summary deviation of the initial velocity for the check (main) cannon of battery leads to accumulation of ballistic preparation errors. The supply of artillery units with means of determining the initial speed of the projectile is insufficient. Among the many known methods for measuring the initial velocity, not enough attention was paid to the methods of analyzing the processes that occur during a shot in the "charge-shell-barrel" system. Under the action of the pressure of the powder gases in the barrel channel and the forces of the interaction of the projectile with the barrel there are springy deformations in the radial direction. To measure springy deformations it is advisable to use strain gauge sensors. Monitoring of deformation in a radial direction by time can be used to determine the moment of passing a projectile past the strain gauge mounted on the outer surface of the barrel. In the case of springy deformations, the initial resistance of the sensor varies in proportion to its value. The speed of the shell (mine) in the barrel can be determined by time between pulses of signals obtained from strain gauges located at a known distance from each other. The simplicity of the proposed method for measuring the initial velocity of an artillery shell provides an opportunity for equipping each cannon (mortar) with autonomous means for measuring the initial velocity. With the simultaneous puting into action of automatic control systems can be automatically taking into account the measurement results. This will change the existing procedure for determining the total deviation of the initial velocity and improve the accuracy, timeliness and suddenness of the opening of artillery fire, which are components of its efficiency.
