Abstract:
Plasticization of polymers by water sorption lowers their mechanical properties in a manner that is predictable by the polarity of their component resins. This study tested the hypothesis that when adhesive resins were used to create resin-infiltrated dentin, the reductions in their flexural moduli after water storage would be lowered proportional to their hydrophilic characteristics. Three increasingly hydrophilic resin blends were used to fabricate polymer beams and macro-hybrid layer models of resin-infiltrated dentin for testing with a miniature three-point flexure device, before and after

Abstract:
Abstract A method to estimate the flexural stiffness and effective elastic modulus of floating ice is described and analysed. The method is based on the analysis of water pressure records at two or three locations below the bottom of floating ice when flexural-gravity waves propagate through the ice. The relative errors in the calculations of the ice flexural stiffness and the water depth are analysed. The method is tested using data from field measurements in Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, where flexural-gravity waves were excited by an icefall at the front of the outflow glacier Tunabreen in Febru

AbstractAn innovative optimization technique is presented for the design of composite laminated plates subjected to in-plane loads. A list of quasi-homogeneous laminates that can be used as angle-ply materials is proposed as a comprehensive solution for optimum lay-up. Two optimization procedures are performed: Dimensioning of the flexural stiffness and the elastic modulus, which provides the optimal orientations for the layers and offer highest in-plane resistance to composite laminated structures.

This paper describes the process of estimating Young’s modulus for the thermoplastic material commonly used in a type of 3D printer. Its twin goals are to compare and contrast a number of simple techniques from elementary structural analysis and to assess the influence of the printer density settings and print orientation (effective material anisotropy). Since components printed using additive manufacturing are used extensively for student projects, often involving load-bearing components, this contribution seeks to shed some light on fundamental modeling issues

The flexural stiffness of the rachis varies along the length of a primary feather, between primaries and between species; the possible contribution of variations in the longitudinal Young's modulus of feather keratin to this was assessed. Tensile tests on compact keratin from eight species of birds belonging to different orders showed similar moduli (mean E=2.50 GPa) in all species apart from the grey heron (E=1.78 GPa). No significant differences were seen in the modulus of keratin from primaries 7­10 in any species. There was a systematic increase in the modulus distally along the le

Thermal phenomena introduce two main effects: damping due to internal friction, and softening due to Young modulus-temperature relationship.

The mathematical model of thermal phenomena in microbeam vibration was introduced by Jazar (2009). In that analysis, using the Zener model, a positi
