Open AccessStructural evolution and strength change of a metallic glass at different temperatures
The structural evolution of a Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10 metallic glass is investigated in-situ by high-energy synchrotron X-ray radiation upon heating up to crystallization. The structural rearrangements on the a...

Microstructure of Horseshoe Nails Using Neutron Diffraction
Neutron diffraction allows nondestructive testing of the bulk microstructure of mechanical components. The microstructures of horseshoe nails made through three different processes have been explored as a func...

Investigation of deformation behavior of Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu-Be bulk metallic glass containing nanocrystals
Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5 (at.%) bulk metallic glass (BMG) is annealed at 676 K for various times. The influence of the microstructural evolution on the mechanical properties is studied by tensile test and m...

A study of water absorption characteristics of DGEBA/DDS resin system using near infra-red spectroscopy
Water absorption and desorption of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) resin systems, cured isothermally at three different temperatures (160, 180 and 220°C), were mo...

Tearing resistance of multi-layer plastic films
The tear resistance of multi-layered plastic films can be generally predicted from the tear resistance of individual layers by an additive rule. The most notable exception from this additive rule is the case o...

Additivity Rule and Other Approaches to Non-Isothermal Crystallization
A number of theories for predicting non-isothermal crystallization of polymers have been proposed (1–5). Some are based on Avrami solution (2,3), others were derived independently (1,4,5). All are based on an ...

Yield strength and anelastic limit of amorphous ductile polymers
This paper describes a molecular model of yield for glassy polymers using polyethylene as the model material. The derived yield strength is simply related to fundamental molecular properties of the material. T...

Yield strength and anelastic limit of amorphous ductile polymers
The microstructure of amorphous polyethylene below its glass transition temperature is described in some detail. The dimensions, shape and statistical mechanics of a polyethylene chain are already well underst...

History independent recovery behaviour of some polymers
The experimental results show recovery behaviour of plasticised polyvinyl chloride and chlorinated polyethylene. The recovery was measured following two types of stress history, viz. creep and stress relaxatio...
