    Notes: Abstract Resistance to slow fatigue crack propagation in polycarbonate is investigated with respect to specimen thickness. In the thickness range considered (0.33–3.22 mm), microscopic analysis reveals that a zone of yielded material constitutes the resistance to crack propagation. As the sheet thickness is increased, the amount of yielded material per unit crack surface is reduced. Consequently, faster crack growth rates are observed with increasing specimen thickness. Crack layer theory is applied to analyse crack propagation kinetics and stability. Accordingly, a specific enthalpy of damage (yielding) is found constant for the thickness range considered and is equal to 60 J g−1 . It is further noticed that as the thickness increases, resistance to crack initiation increases.

    Notes: Abstract Experimental methods have been developed so that in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) tensile studies can be performed on bulk polymer sections, and failure processes observed; real time can be correlated with failure in bulk parts. Using specially designed support grids, polymer section geometry and in situ tensile procedures, the submicrometre failure response of polycarbonate-poly(ethylene terephthalate) phase morphology to crack propagation has been studied. This paper focuses on the design of the tensile grids, sections and procedures, which had to be devised for these studies. The techniques developed allow quantification of strain rates and crack velocities. TEM experiments performed showed that artefacts, such as vacuum or radiation damage, were not significant factors influencing the morphological response to crack propagation. A companion paper presents the failure processes found in situ and correlations with failure processes found in bulk tested parts.

    Notes: Abstract Real time observations of submicrometre scale failure mechanisms of injection moulded multiphase blends are extremely difficult to perform. This has been accomplished using a specially designed tensile fixture and sample preparation techniques for a polycarbonate-polyester blend. Blunt or sharp cracks could be developed in the blend which were dependent on the shape of the polyester domains. Their initiation and propagation mechanisms have been examined at the submicrometre and bulk scales. The failures observed in the thin-sections were similar to failure mechanisms observed in the bulk.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Dans de nombreux matériaux, la rupture se propage sous la forme d'une fissure précédée d'une zone où s'effectuent des transformations structurales, qualifiées d'endommagement. La théorie de la couche fissurée (C.F) résulte de la loi de propagation d'une fissure et de l'existence de la zone fissurée environnante, dans le cadre d'une évolution thermodynamique irréversible. En recourant au critière d'évolution de Prigogine-Glansdorff, on déduit par la théorie les conditions de stabilité qui régissent la propagation de la C.F. Dans la présente étude, on se concentre sur le problème de la propagation incontrôlée et sur l'arrêt de la fissure du point de vue de la stabilite'e d'une C.F en translation. La propagation de la C.F est régie par la différence entre la vitesse de relaxation de l'énergie J 1et la quantité d'énergie nécessaire pour provoquer une transformation du matériau j *R1. Le résultat conduit à exprimer les conditions nécessaires et suffisantes de l'instabilité de la C.F suivant respectivement % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaaiaadQeadaWgaaWcbaGaaGymaiabgkHiTiabeo7aNnaaCaaameqa% baGaaiOkaaaaaSqabaGccaWGsbWaaSbaaSqaaiaaigdaaeqaamrr1n% gBPrwtHrhAYaqeguuDJXwAKbstHrhAGq1DVbacfmGccqWFLjsHcaaI% Waaaaa!4F23!\[J_{1 - \gamma ^* } R_1 \geqslant 0\]d'une part et % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaamaalaaabaGaeyOaIylabaGaeyOaIyRaamiBaaaadaqadiqaaiaa% dQeadaWgaaWcbaGaaGymaaqabaGccqGHsislcqaHZoWzdaahaaWcbe% qaaiaacQcaaaGccaWGsbWaaSbaaSqaaiaaigdaaeqaaaGccaGLOaGa% ayzkaaGaeyOpa4JaaGimaaaa!4A4A!\[\frac{\partial }{{\partial l}}\left( {J_1 - \gamma ^* R_1 } \right) 〉 0\]d'autre part. On étudie la propagation de la C.F dans un matériau pour maquettes, le polystyrène, sous une charge de fatigue appliquée à charge constante (Cas I) ou à déplacements constants (Cas II). Pour le Cas I, la condition suffisante d'instabilité est satisfaite avant la condition nécessaire, qui de ce fait contrôle de la stabilité. Pour le Cas II, aucune des conditions n'est satisfaite, de sorte que la propagation de la C.F demeure stable et conduit en conséquence à un arrêt de fissuration.
    Notes: Abstract Fracture in many materials propagates as a crack preceded by a zone of structural transformations (damage). The crack layer (CL) theory derives the law of propagation of crack and the surrounding damage zone within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. Employing the Prigogine-Glansdorff criterion of evolution, the theory derives the stability conditions for CL propagation. In this paper the problem of uncontrolled crack propagation and crack arrest is addressed from the viewpoint of CL translational stability. CL propagation is controlled by the difference between J 1, the energy release rate, and γ *R1, the amount of energy required for material transformation. As a result, the necessary and sufficient conditions for CL instability are % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaaiaadQeadaWgaaWcbaGaaGymaiabgkHiTiabeo7aNnaaCaaameqa% baGaaiOkaaaaaSqabaGccaWGsbWaaSbaaSqaaiaaigdaaeqaamrr1n% gBPrwtHrhAYaqeguuDJXwAKbstHrhAGq1DVbacfmGccqWFLjsHcaaI% Waaaaa!4F23!\[J_{1 - \gamma ^* } R_1 \geqslant 0\]and % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXafv3ySLgzGmvETj2BSbqefm0B1jxALjhiov2D% aebbfv3ySLgzGueE0jxyaibaiGc9yrFr0xXdbba91rFfpec8Eeeu0x% Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs% 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqaaqGaaO% qaamaalaaabaGaeyOaIylabaGaeyOaIyRaamiBaaaadaqadiqaaiaa% dQeadaWgaaWcbaGaaGymaaqabaGccqGHsislcqaHZoWzdaahaaWcbe% qaaiaacQcaaaGccaWGsbWaaSbaaSqaaiaaigdaaeqaaaGccaGLOaGa% ayzkaaGaeyOpa4JaaGimaaaa!4A4A!\[\frac{\partial }{{\partial l}}\left( {J_1 - \gamma ^* R_1 } \right) 〉 0\]respectively. CL propagation in polystyrene, a model material, is studied under remotely applied, fixed load fatigue (Case I) and under fixed displacement (Case II). For Case I, the sufficient condition of instability is met before the necessary condition, so that the latter becomes the controller of stability. For case II, neither sufficient nor necessary conditions of instability are satisfied. Hence, CL propagation remains stable, eventually resulting in crack arrest.

    Notes: The thermomechanical behavior of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) undergoing cold-drawing (necking) over a large range of temperature and strain rate has been studied. The cold-drawing of PC has been described from a material particle perspective in terms of true stress and strain relationships. The isothermal draw stress is shown to be a material parameter, and the true stress-strain behavior of necked material above the true drawing stress follows conventional treatment by rubber elasticity. Cold-drawing is described as a double glass transition: first, a transition from an isotropic glass to an isotropic rubber at the yield point, then, on unloading after stretching of a rubbery mesophase, a transition from an oriented rubber to an oriented glass.

    Notes: A method to determine viscoelastic changes in medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe specimens associated with the crack tip during fatigue crack initiation (FCI) and propagation (FCP) experiments is described. The load-displacement curves are analyzed to obtain the phase angle, δ. Changes in δ are related to the number of cycles of crack initiation of three different MDPE copolymers: hexene (H), butene (B), and methyl pentene (MP) copolymers. These changes are related to craze formation and growth at the notch tip, leading to crack initiation and to the irreversible work, Wi, expended on them. Within a given material, step wise increments in δ distinguish the onset of crack initiation and the brittle-to-ductile transition in crack growth. The magnitudes of tan δ and Wi are noted to be in quantitative agreement with the resistance of the three copolymers to FCI and brittle propagation that rank in the order: isobutyl (MP) 〉 ethyl (B) 〉 butyl (H). Similar crystallinity of the three copolymers insinuates a hypothesis that variance in the nature of chain entanglements associated with the respective branch type might be accountable for the observed differences in viscoelastic character. The final stage of failure by ductile tearing is dominated by large scale plastic flow that seemingly overshadows the material differences governing time dependent brittle fracture.

    Notes: One of the key requirements for developing tough multiphase blend systems, for example, selecting the type of discrete phases (hard or soft) in a polymer matrix, is the ability to predict the fracture path. Most of these selections rely heavily on prior experience or on intuitive rationale. There are few mathematical guidelines for the materials scientists who are designing new multiphase systems. This article is designed mainly to provide such insight through the development of a theoretical model and through experimental observation. A finite element model has been used to predict the crack velocity and the crack path for a crack that approaches and penetrates a hard or a soft inclusion. A novel experimental approach is then utilized to verify these predictions by introducing hard and soft circular domains in poly(ethylene-co-carbon monoxide) specimens by selective photodegradation. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the past, relative tie-chain concentration has been semiquantitatively characterized by infrared dichroism on a stretched sample and from brittle fracture strenght. The probability of tie-molecule formation has also been theoretically estimated from chain dimensions and the semicrystalline morphology of the polymers. In this article the probability of tie-chain formation of monodisperse and homogeneous single-site ethylene copolymers has been estimated over a range of densities and molecular weights using the model proposed by Huang and Brown. The relative tie-chain concentration is obtained by multiplying tie-chain probability with the volume fraction crystallinity of polymer. A modified rubber elasticity theory is applied to calculate the concentration of chain links between junction points (crystallites) of the INSITE technology polymers (ITPs) from measured rubber modulus. It is expected that the chain-link concentration should relate to the tie-chain concentration. The calculated rubber modulus, or the chain-links concentration, of the ITPs increases with an increase in density in the 0.865 to 0.910 g/cc range and did not change significantly in the density range of about 0.91 g/cc to 0.954 g/cc. Normalized rubber modulus and relative tie-chain concentration data shows that the relative tie-chain concentration predicated by Huang and Brown model and measured using the modified rubber elasticity theory are quantitatively similar below 0.01 g/cc density. However, above 0.91 g/cc density, the measured rubber modulus is influenced by additional tie-chain formation during deformation due to breakdown of crystallities and, hence, the discrepancy exists between the two methods of estimating relative tie-chain concentration. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This study deals with the quantification of the residual stress profiles of injection molded rectangular bars with polycarbonate of various molecular weights. Determinations via the layer removal technique indicated that these bars can possess compressive stress of up to 10 MPa at the surface and up to 9 MPa in tension in the interior. The residual stress profile showed a shape similar to that observed in thermal quenching experiments, i.e., parabolic, for locations far away from the gate of the cavity. At locations near the gate of the cavity and for injection molding at high speed, the residual stress profile changed sign, going from compressive to tension at the surface and vice versa in the interior. These residual stress profiles were very dependent on gating geometry and location.
