Craze initiation in glassy polymers
In this work a method is presented that can be used to predict craze initiation in glassy polymers. The approach is based on the view that the development of a craze is preceded by de formation of a localised plastic deformation zone. As this zone develops, the hydrostatic stress increases, and, when exceeding a critical stress level, cavitation will take place, leading to local development of ...
متن کاملDetermination of size-independent specific fracture energy of concrete from three-point bend and wedge splitting tests
Three-point bend (TPB) and wedge splitting (WS) tests have been conducted on three different concretes and the specific fracture energy GF determined on the basis of the concept of local fracture energy. The latter is influenced by the free back surface of a notched test specimen, as explained by Hu and Wittmann. Tests on three or four specimen sizes with four notch to depth ratios confirm the ...
متن کاملSingle Point Incremental Forming of Polymers
The aim of the present paper is to evaluate the possibility of producing low-cost, small-batch, polymer sheet components by means of single point incremental forming (SPIF) at room temperature. During the research work, five different thermoplastic materials were incrementally formed into cones with an increasing wall angle on a conventional CNC milling machine. In designed experiments, signifi...
متن کاملShort-Beam Three-Point Bend Tests in Syntactic Foams. Part II: Effect of Microballoons Content on Shear Strength
Epoxy binders containing microballoons ranging from 38.5 to 57.7% by volume were cast in a mold and cured, and the resulting slabs were sectioned to yield short-beam test coupons. The strength changes with microballoons content were noted. These reveal an increase from 3.87 to 5.79 MPa for a decrease in microballoons content from 57.7 to 38.5%. Mechanical data were correlated with fractographic...
متن کاملInvestigation of Fracture Depth of Al/Cu Bimetallic Sheet in Single Point Incremental Forming Process
Single point incremental sheet forming (SPISF) has demonstrated significant potential to form complex sheet metal parts without using component-specific tools and is suitable for fabricating low-volume functional sheet metal parts economically. In the SPIF process, a ball nose tool moves along a predefined tool path to form the sheet. This work aims to optimize the formability and forming force...
