Stress-Strain Behavior of Thermoplastic Polyurethane
The large strain nonlinear stress-strain behavior of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) exhibits strong hysteresis, rate dependence and softening. Thermoplastic polyurethanes are copolymers composed of hard and soft segments. The hard and soft segments phase separate to form a microstructure of hard and soft domains typically on a length scale of a few tens of nanometers. Studies have revealed ...
متن کاملPreferential Nanoreinforcement of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomers with Dispersed Nano-Clay
It is difficult for scientists to engineer elastomeric materials that are both strong and tough like spider dragline silk. Inspired by the morphology of spider dragline silk and motivated to develop strong, tough, elastomeric polyurethanes to be used in soldier applications I have prepared polyurethane/clay nanocomposites. Polymer/clay nanocomposites have exhibited great potential for providing...
متن کاملMultiple-length-scale deformation analysis in a thermoplastic polyurethane
Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers enjoy an exceptionally wide range of applications due to their remarkable versatility. These block co-polymers are used here as an example of a structurally inhomogeneous composite containing nano-scale gradients, whose internal strain differs depending on the length scale of consideration. Here we present a combined experimental and modelling approach to t...
متن کاملConstitutive modeling of the Mullins effect and cyclic stress softening in filled elastomers.
The large strain behavior of filled rubbers is characterized by the strong Mullins effect, permanent set, and induced anisotropy. Strain controlled cyclic tests also exhibit a pronounced hysteresis as a strain rate independent phenomenon. Prediction of these inelastic features in elastomers is an important challenge with immense industrial and technological relevance. In the present paper, a mi...
متن کاملSoftening Dependencies between Interfaces
An object-oriented application programming interface (API) must satisfy two con icting requirements. On the one hand, it is desirable to have a low-level, primitive API, in order to simplify documentation and speci cation of semantics, and to make the API accessible to a large group of potential developers. On the other hand, a particular application programmer often requires higher level acces...
