“Approved for public release; distribution unlimited” SEM STUDY OF DEFORMATION AND FAILURE MECHANISMS IN STRAINED ELASTOMERS
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, the deformation and damage mechanisms on meso and macro scales in a particulate composite and a polyurethane material, Solithane 113, were investigated. The particulate composite contains 87% by weight of hard particles embedded in a rubbery matrix. Experimental data were analyzed and the effect of material’s microstructure on the deformation and failure mechanisms are discussed.

Failing softly: a fracture theory of highly-deformable materials.
Highly-deformable materials, from synthetic hydrogels to biological tissues, are becoming increasingly important from both fundamental and practical perspectives. Their mechanical behaviors, in particular the dynamics of crack propagation during failure, are not yet fully understood. Here we propose a theoretical framework for the dynamic fracture of highly-deformable materials, in which the ef...

Two effective quasi – static models are presented to consider pre and post- failure behaviors of the clamped circular plates subjected impulsive loads based on upper bound limit analyses of deformation. In first model, it is assumed that final profile is considered to have a conical shape, which is represented by radial and vertical motions of a single peripheral plastic hinge permanent deflect...
متن کاملDeformation mechanism and optimum design for large cross-sectional longwall installation roadway under compound roof
Both the deformation characters and the failure mode of the large cross-sectional longwall installation roadway under compound roof are becoming an emergent issue than ever before due to the rapid development of modern mining equipment. Various engineering applications have revealed that the insufficient design and inappropriate support technology are the main reasons for the fatal accidents as...
متن کاملNovel Arrangements for High Performance and Durable Dielectric Elastomer Actuation
This paper advances the design of Rod Pre-strained Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (RP-DEAs) in their capability to generate comparatively large static actuation forces with increased lifetime via optimized electrode arrangements. RP-DEAs utilize thin stiff rods to constrain the expansion of the elastomer and maintain the in-plane pre-strain in the rod longitudinal direction. The aim is to study...
