Analysis of Five Parameter Viscoelastic Model Under Dynamic Loading

The purpose of this paper is to analysis the viscoelastic models under dynamic loading. A five-parameter model is chosen for study exhibits elastic, viscous, and retarded elastic response to shearing stress. The viscoelastic specimen is chosen which closely approximates the actual behavior of a polymer. The module of elasticity and viscosity coefficients are assumed to be space dependent i.e. f...

Measurements of PbWO4 crystals behaviour under irradiation

Lead Tungstate crystals for the CMS detector at LHC have to withstand severe levels of radiation. Presented here are measurement techniques and results on crystal behaviour under gamma irradiation from tests at ETH/PSI in conditions similar to what is expected during operation of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter. Presented at International Workshop on Lead Tungstate crystals, Rome, Italy, Oc...

Modeling and Simulation of Conducting Crack Propagation in Ferroelectric Single Crystals under Purely Electrical Loading

Abstract. We present a phase-field model of fracture in ferroelectric single crystals for the simulation of conducting crack propagation under purely electrical loading. This is done by introducing the electrical enthalpy of a diffuse conducting layer into the phase-field formulation. Simulation results show an oblique crack propagation and crack branching from a conducting notch in a ferroelec...
