Abstract It is well known that the properties of rubbery materials depend upon the speed or rate at which they are tested or used. A considerable body of work has shown that the dynamic properties of rubber change with the time scale of the test and, in particular, at very short times or at very fast rates, the properties approach those of plastics, i.e., high modulus and low elongation. These dynamic properties are measured by oscillation methods, usually at small strains. In contrast to this class of information, where the material is rarely strained to failure, one can also strain rubbers unidirectionally to failure at strain rates that correspond to the high frequencies of dynamic measurements. In linear extension experiments, as the rate of stretching increases tensile strength rises, elongation drops, apparent modulus increases, and relaxation losses may go up or down depending upon the particular rubber and the time scale of the phenomenon that is being investigated. Extrapolating the change in tensile strength with rate of testing suggests that tensile strength as we know it should change drastically when measured at very high rates of speed. That is, since the viscoelastic properties of rubber are time dependent, and also dependent upon the speed at which they are tested, the tensile properties of rubbers measured at room conditions with the ordinary Scott or Instron machines probably do not have the same values as at the speeds and frequencies that might be encountered in such situations as tire wear. Hence, we should like to measure the properties of rubbers at very high rates of speed, presumably comparable to those encountered in tire tread wear, in order to find out how much properties do change as the speed of test is increased. In order to measure stress-strain properties at rates of elongation comparable to those we believe exist in tire tread usage, we had to develop a small high speed tensile machine. The purpose of this paper is to describe that machine and some results obtained with it.

The combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to the study of high-speed deformation and fracture of the 1810 stainless steel. The material tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to determine dynamic stress-strain curves, strain rate histories, plastic properties and fracture in the strain rate range of 102 ÷ 104 s-1. A scheme has been realized for obtaining a direct tensile load in the SHPB, using a tubular striker and a gas gun of a simple design. The parameters of the Johnson-Cook material model were identified using the experimental results obtained. Using a series of verification experiments under various types of stress-strain state, the degree of reliability of the identified mathematical model of the behavior of the material studied was determined.

Abstract A study was made of the stress—strain and ultimate properties in simple tension of an elastomeric styrene—butadiene—styrene block copolymer (Kraton 101) and also of a similar material (Thermolastic 226) that contains about 35% plasticizer as well as inorganic pigments. Stress—strain data were obtained at crosshead speeds from 0.02 to 20 in./min at temperatures from − 40 to 60° C. The relaxation rate, derived from the data at constant extension rates, was about 8% per decade of time for both materials at temperatures from − 40 to about 40° C and at extensions from about 20% up to 400%. Above − 30° C, the shift factor log aT was found to vary linearly with temperature. These findings indicate that the time and temperature dependence of the mechanical properties results primarily from the plastic (or viscoelastic) characteristics of the styrene domains. The tensile strength for Kraton 101 below 40° C is somewhat greater than 4000 psi, sensibly independent of extension rate and temperature. For the highly plasticized Thermolastic 226, the tensile strength at an extension rate of 1.0 min−1 increases from 2200 psi at 0° C to 3600 psi at − 40° C. Above 40° C for Kraton 101 and above 0° C for Thermolastic 226, the tensile strengths are dependent on extension rate and temperature owing to the increased ductility of the styrene domains. The high strength of these materials results from the uniformly dispersed styrene domains of colloidal dimensions. To obtain a crack of sufficient size to satisfy an energetic criterion for self-sustained high-speed propagation, domains must be disrupted. The plastic characteristics of the domains have a controlling effect on crack growth and thus on the ultimate properties of the materials. The strength and extensibility of other elastomers are considered in relation to those of the block copolymers.

The actual generations of integrated circuits are characterized, inter alia, by very high frequencies or very high speeds. The dramatic evolution ofthe semiconductor's technology establishes a greater “pressure” to the design and the manufacturing of the passive interconnection structure from PCB/MCM electronic modules. In these conditions the reference planes (power and ground planes) have a more and more important contribution. The paper intents to present the effect of different configuration reference planes on the characteristics of the high speed/high frequency interconnection lines. The first part deals with modeling and simulation of usual practical interconnection geometries. A computer modeling of meshed structures was realized and Spice models for a good compatibility with circuit simulators were obtained.S-,Y-,Z- parameters and radiation patterns were calculated, too. The second part contains measurements made by a vector network analyzer as regards to different practical configurations manufactured at Technical University of Budapest.

Abstract A high speed stress-strain machine has been developed which is capable of recording the stress-strain curve of elastomers at elongation rates up to 270 per cent/msec. Data are reported on two series of gum and tread stocks of Hevea and of the synthetic elastomers, GR-S, Hycar-OR, Butyl, Perbunan, and Neoprene-GN. The second (elastomer) series was also run at 150° C. In general, stress-strain curves fall into two classes. Stocks of elastomers which are known to crystallize on stretching tend to show tensile strengths which decrease with increasing speed up to about 10 per cent/msec, pass through a minimum, and rise more or less drastically to values 100 per cent (or more) greater than the Scott tensile strength. Elastomers which do not crystallize on stretching tend to show a steady rise in tensile strength with increasing speed. Elongation at break curves show a maximum with crystallizing stocks and no maximum with noncrystallizing stocks. The shape of the modulus vs. speed curves is accounted for on the hypothesis of different types of slipping bonds with different characteristic relaxation times. The shift of curves for tread stocks with temperature allows the estimation of a heat of activation of slippage. This comes out to be of the order of 3 kg.-cal.

Hydrogels based on Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were synthesized using the combining method of chemical agent and freezing-thawing cycle. Sodium Trimetaphosphate (STMP) is a kind of crosslinking agent in this reaction. The resulting hydrogels were characterized in terms of tensile properties and compression stress-strain testing. The influences of STMP and water content on mechanical properties of hydrogels were investigated. It is suggested that PVA hydrogel has excellent tensile strength, higher elongation at break and viscoelastic materials’ stress-strain curve. Tensile strength of specimens without STMP increases from 4 to 6.8 MPa, as well as elongation increase from 300% to 458%, respectively. When the strain changes from 10% to 50%, tangent compressive modulus dramatically increases from 0.58 to 9.9 MPa for hydrogels with 80wt % water and 0.41 to 5.4 MPa for 85wt % water. Meanwhile, the addition of STMP can further improve the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures have excellent potential for future use in radiation hardened and high speed integrated circuits. For device fabrication in SOI material a high quality superficial Si layer above a buried oxide layer is required. Recently, Celler et al. reported that post-implantation annealing of oxygen implanted SOI at very high temperatures would eliminate virtually all defects and precipiates in the superficial Si layer. In this work we are reporting on the effect of three different post implantation annealing cycles on the structure of oxygen implanted SOI samples which were implanted under the same conditions.
