Impression relaxation and creep behavior of Al/SiC nanocomposite

Creep and Stress Relaxation Behavior of Polypropylene, Metallocene-Prepared Polyethylene and their Blends

Evaluation of current methods for creep analysis and impression creep testing of power plant steels

Destructive testing of creep exposed components is a powerful tool for evaluation of remaining lifetime of high temperature pipe systems. The most common destructive evaluation method used today is uniaxial creep testing. Uniaxial creep tests can produce accurate creep curves but the test method has some drawbacks such as costliness and long testing times. It also demands large sample material ...

Creep Behavior of Basalt and Glass Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites

The creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (BFRE) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. To study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (MGP) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in BFRE composites. The initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

Creep and Creep–Rupture Behavior of Wood-Based Structural Panels

This paper summarizes a cooperative research program between the USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory (FPL), in Madison, Wisconsin, and Forintek Canada Corp. in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This research program provided detailed creep–rupture and some creep information for composite panel products. Commercially produced plywood, oriented strandboard (OSB), and minimally alig...

Impression formation and cooperative behavior

Two studies investigated how behavioral information about the morality or intelligence of another person in ̄uences impressions, expectations of cooperative behavior, and own cooperation in a mixed-motive interdependence situation. Consistent with the moralityimportance hypothesis, results revealed that morality information in ̄uenced impressions, expectations of other's cooperative behavior, as ...
