Using micromechanics modeling for a better understanding of the linear viscoelasticity of polymers
Author: admin
Single-lap joint creep behaviour of two soft adhesives We have submitted two hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives (HMPSA) to bonded joint creep tests. While glassy
Micromechanics modeling the mechanical behavior of thermoplastic matrices filled with carbon fibers During this postdoc, we will look at the relationship between the microstructure and
Five PEBAX foams provided by Arkema and obtained by mold-opening foam injection process has been studied. One one side, the microstructures have been characterized by
This is the python routine I used to calculate the linear viscoelasticity (storage and loss shear moduli) of worm-like microstructures define in the paper on
The objective of the study was to characterize and model the linear viscoelasticity of interpenetrated polymer networks showing two clear distinct phase transitions. For this
With industrial partner Arianegroup, we studied the mechanical behavior of three propellant-like materials. Two materials were made of an inert matrix with about 55% of
On necessary precautions when measuring solid polymer linear viscoelasticity with torsion rheometers
The linear viscoelasticity and time-temperature superposition of solid polymers are often characterized using a torsion rheometer since it is a common equipment in polymer labs.
We are currently interested in the catastrophic failure of carbon-black filled and unfilled elastomers submitted to monotonous loadings (not fatigue). First part of this work is
Why are we playing with rubber bouncing balls when we are kids ? Can metal or ‘plastic’ balls bounce as well ? And why do squash players warm
