This book was released on 2017. Mechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Glass-forming Polymers in the Bulk and Thin Films available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Focusing on the equilibrium shear modulus Geq of well-known glass-forming polymer model system (sampled by means of MD), we have addressed the general question of how the mechanical properties of the thin polymer films differs from the bulk. Using ”stress fluctuation” formalism we obtained Geq(T) for the bulk and films. It has been demonstrated that in both cases Geq unambiguously separates the fluid state (Geq = 0) from the glass (Geq > 0). We also stressed that Geq for the film does not only depend on film thickness h, but also on tangential pressure that is a consequence of the film preparation procedure.

Roth. This book was released on 2016-12-12. Polymer Glasses available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "the present book will be of great value for both newcomers to the field and mature active researchers by serving as a coherent and timely introduction to some of the modern approaches, ideas, results, emerging understanding, and many open questions in this fascinating field of polymer glasses, supercooled liquids, and thin films" –Kenneth S. Schweizer, Morris Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (from the Foreword) This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of molecular level insights into polymer glasses in confined geometries and under deformation. Polymer glasses have become ubiquitous to our daily life, from the polycarbonate eyeglass lenses on the end of our nose to large acrylic glass panes holding water in aquarium tanks, with advantages over glass in that they are lightweight and easy to manufacture, while remaining transparent and rigid. The contents include an introduction to the field, as well as state of the art investigations. Chapters delve into studies of commonalities across different types of glass formers (polymers, small molecules, colloids, and granular materials), which have enabled microscopic and molecular level frameworks to be developed. The authors show how glass formers are modeled across different systems, thereby leading to treatments for polymer glasses with first-principle based approaches and molecular level detail. Readers across disciplines will benefit from this topical overview summarizing the key areas of polymer glasses, alongside an introduction to the main principles and approaches.

Download and read online ebook Comprehensive Structural Integrity write by Ian Milne. This book was released on 2003-07-25. Comprehensive Structural Integrity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The aim of this major reference work is to provide a first point of entry to the literature for the researchers in any field relating to structural integrity in the form of a definitive research/reference tool which links the various sub-disciplines that comprise the whole of structural integrity. Special emphasis will be given to the interaction between mechanics and materials and structural integrity applications. Because of the interdisciplinary and applied nature of the work, it will be of interest to mechanical engineers and materials scientists from both academic and industrial backgrounds including bioengineering, interface engineering and nanotechnology. The scope of this work encompasses, but is not restricted to: fracture mechanics, fatigue, creep, materials, dynamics, environmental degradation, numerical methods, failure mechanisms and damage mechanics, interfacial fracture and nano-technology, structural analysis, surface behaviour and heart valves. The structures under consideration include: pressure vessels and piping, off-shore structures, gas installations and pipelines, chemical plants, aircraft, railways, bridges, plates and shells, electronic circuits, interfaces, nanotechnology, artificial organs, biomaterial prostheses, cast structures, mining... and more. Case studies will form an integral part of the work.
