A solid rubber cylinder with metal end plates fractured in the rubber when a torsional deformation was applied 'which corresponded to a shear angle of 56° on the cylinder surface. The height of the cylinder was ...

The stress-strain relationship for a composite material is dependent on both the geometry and the stress-strain relationships of the component phases. This note describes a technique by which the stress-strain ...

Quantitative measurements have been made of the time dependent normal stress distributions and torques which are necessary to maintain a state of torsion in: (i) a solid right circular cylinder of rubber, (ii) rubber ...

The shape of the pressure distributions over the flat end surfaces of compressed solid rubber cylinders have been determined. The cylinders were compressed between metal end plates. The pressure distribution for compressive ...

Investigation of the structure and properties of the heat-affected zones in welded joints is usually limited by their small size and their complexity. One method of overcoming this problem is to simulate the structure ...

The prediction of the yielding and flow behaviour of materials under complex stress systems from tensile test or other easily determined data has been the aim of engineers for many years. The yield criteria of Tresca and ...

During the drawing of sheet metal between a die and a blankholder, compressive hoop-stresses are developed which attempt to thicken or wrinkle the flange. Previous work on this behaviour has ignored any effects due ...

This Note contains a review of previous work in the field of pyrolytic degradation of epoxide resins, and a description of the development of an instrument for this purpose, using the principle of gas chromatography. The ...

,The research reported in this document has been made possible through the support and sponsorship of the U.S. Department of the Army throlleh its European Research Office. This report, not necessarily in final form, ...

The thermal cycles in the mild steel parent plate adjacent to a bead on plate weld have been measured for heat inputs of 108, 54 and 42 kJ/inch, by means of embedded thermocouples connected to high response automatic recorders. ...
