Strain Hardening: An increase in a material's strength due to plastic deformation. Thermomechanical Coupling: The interplay between thermal and mechanical responses during deformation.

The LDPE sample shows the typical strain hardening effect above eH = 3. The strain hardening nature of polymers is necessary for the processability at the time of film blowing and fiber spinning ...

"Strain Hardening is based on fundamental postulates of crack propagation," says Kurelec. "SABIC is analysing the basic polymer properties that give rise to stress crack resistance. This is a ...

When the strain is less than the critical strain, the material undergoes work hardening due to the stretching of the elastic elements in the shear field. The structure tends to break down when these ...

Synthetic polymer molecules are too small for microscopic observation in mechanical ... Muscle filaments make mechanical strain visible Date: December 22 ... Cyclic hardening in bundled actin ...
