With increasing number of loading cycles, stress-strain hysteresis loops of pseudoelasticity of a shape memory alloy vary continuously in experiments. To account for such characteristic variance observed during phase transformations, the effect of residual martensite is taken into account in a thermomechanical model b…

Low-stress creep measurements on a nematic liquid crystal polymer indicate that it is a viscoelastic solid, with a modulus of 100 dynes / cm 2 and a yield stress of 50 dynes / cm 2 . Both smectics and nematics are viscoelastic solids at very low stress levels, with a modulus that is related to their defect texture. At…

A self-consistent model for the constitutive behavior of polycrystalline barium titanate is presented. More generally, the model is valid for any ferroelectric material that changes its remanent polarization state primarily due to 180° switching, i.e. switching with no change in the remanent strain state. We will assu…

Ab initio NMR gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) calculations were used to constrain assignments of resonances in 27 Al NMR spectra of F-bearing alkali aluminosilicate glasses. The effect of bond angles within the range 126-150° on the chemical shift was investigated using cluster models of next-nearest atoms that…

Morpholine-2,5-dione and D,L-3-methylmorpholine-2,5-dione were polymerized with 2,2-dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dioxepane (DSDOP) as initiator with variation of time and monomer/initiator (M/I)-ratio. For comparison a few polymerizations were initiated with Sn(II) 2-ethylhexanoate. The DSDOP initiated polymerizations gave sl…

The tree initiation voltage of impregnated crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) with a dielectric liquid is drastically improved compared to normal XLPE for both ac and impulse voltage application. It is considered that liquid fills the polymer free volume, and removes space for electrons to be accelerated to high energy.…

A novel mechanism for debonding at a weak interphase in an all‐oxide composite is introduced. This methodology involves the use of alumina platelets that have a diameter of 10–15 or 5–10 μm and a thickness of 1 μm. The platelets induce constrained sintering of the ceramic powder, which results in permanent porosity. F…

The cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) phase may selectively reflect light. The reflection wavelength is correlated with the CLC helical pitch and the wavelength bandwidth δδ with the birefringence. Recent studies have aimed to broaden δδ from several tens - an order of magnitude usually encountered in literature - to s…
