The classical condition for the contact angle of a phase interface at a container wall is generalized to include both anisotropy and kinetics. The derivation, which does not involve an assumption of local equilibrium, is based on a capillary force balance, a dissipation inequality representing the second law, and suit…

The creep and damage behavior of GRP filament wound pipes are investigated as a function of the resin ductility. To predict the life time of pipes under low pressure levels and hygrothermal conditions, different methods based on the experimental data and approximations have been used. All these methods involve assumpt…

Crystal growth was carried out by the Bridgman method for six substances of the Cs2 BX 4-type with β-K2SO4 structure, where B=Zn, Co and X=Cl, Br, I. The dielectric constants were measured to investigate their phase transitions. It has been shown that Cs2ZnI4 and Cs2CoI4 exhibit clear first order transitions at 93K an…

X - ray diffraction studies of polycrystalline Pb[(Fe 1/3 Sb 2/3) xTiy Zrz ]O 3 with x + y + z = 1, x = 0.1 and y = 0.43 – 0.47 have been performed in the temperature range between 23°C to 380°C. The results indicate that below 220°C rhombohedral and tetragonal phases coexist; above 220°C the cubic symmetry phase only…

In this letter the line tension associated with screw dislocations is considered. First, it is shown that screw dislocations can be identified with negative line tensions on various cross-slip planes in cubic crystals; analytical or numerical conditions for negative line tension are given. Secondly, the relative magni…

The ac conductivity of cuprate glasses based on the unconventional network former PbO is reported in the frequency range 102–105 Hz and in the temperature range 80–450 K. Analysis of the conductivity data has been made in the light of different existing theoretical models. It is observed that, among them, the correlat…

We report a detailed evaluation of Ge‐substituted LaNi 5 for electrochemical application as a negative electrode in alkaline rechargeable cells. Alloys with small substitutions of Ge for Ni show operating pressures, chargeability, cyclic lifetime, and kinetics for hydrogen absorption and desorption all superior to tho…

The analysis of elastic instabilities in metal cylinders when subjected to electromagnetic fields (Littlefield, 1996a) is extended in this work to include elastic-plastic flow. The cylinder is assumed to be infinitely long and perfectly conducting. The Prandtl-Reuss elastic-plastic material model is the assumed consti…

Abstract Polyphthalamide(PPA)/polyamide(PA) blends were analyzed to determine the effect of PA addition to PPA on melting point, glass transition temperature, dynamic modulus, and heat distortion temperature. Results indicate that the choice of PPA and the choice of PA for the blend systems affects not only the above…

Addition of lime to paving asphalts is known to inhibit oxidative aging of pavements. The mechanism of the action of lime in retarding oxidation is not known. In this work, an asphalt was mixed with a vanadium chelate that is known to strongly promote oxidation in asphalts. This enhancement of oxidation was largely ne…

Abstract The fracture toughness of semicrystalline nylon 6, amorphous nylon 6IcoT, and their blends can be represented as the inherent toughness plus the toughness due to the formation of the crack tip plastic zone. The inherent toughness originates mostly from the molecular alignment near the crack tip plus a small c…
