Attention is called to a new phenomenon: in certain materials, specimen size (or, its energy-storage capacity) influences its brittle-ductile transition and strength. This effect is not the recognized statistical one (which only concerns the nucleation of fracture), blot derives from the strain-ener

An attempt was made to examine thermal effects as well as fade and wear characteristics of rubber-based friction materials (RBFMs). A series of RBFMs with and without fiber reinforcements were prepared. The fiber reinforcements used were carbon fiber, cellulose fiber and aramid pulp. A semi-empirica
Slow crack propagation data in PMMA previously published by Atkins et al. are reanalyzed in terms of a thermodynamic model in which the activation area is inversely proportional to the crack extension force. Important thermodynamic activation parameters are derived from the data. A correlation betwe
The integrity of PWR pressure vessels is assured by keeping the crack tip stress intensity factor below the toughness of the material under monotonic isothermal loading. To study the effects of sudden cooling associated with a thermal gradient, a specially modified compact specimen has been develope
