Over the past decades, several constitutive models accounting for finite viscoplasticity and failure in glassy polymers were developed. However, depending on thermal and loading rate conditions, the response might change from ductile to brittle. This brittle response is characterized by inelastically deformed zones, so‐called crazes, having the thickness of micrometers and spanning at some fractions of a millimeter, containing a dense array of fibrils interspersed with elongated voids, detailed discussion e.g. [1]. The shear yielding and crazing are not completely independent excluding each other. Present models introduce crazing either discrete by cohesive surfaces, e.g. [2], or continuous, see [3]. In this work, we outline an extension of a ductile plasticity model towards (i) the description of volumetric directional plasticity effect due to crazing and (ii) the modeling of the local failure due to fracture. The ultimate amount of volumetric plastic craze strain is bounded by a limiting value, where failure occurs. In a second step, the modeling of subsequent failure mechanisms is realized by introducing a fracture phase field, characterizing via an auxiliary variable the crack. Here, we adopt structures of a continuum phase field model of fracture in brittle solids [4], and modify it for a fracture driving term related to the volumetric plastic deformation of the crazes. We demonstrate the performance of proposed formulation by means of a representative boundary value problem.

A study of phase stability and mechanical properties of hydroxylapatite-nanosize alpha-alumina composites Evis, Zafer (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-01) Hydroxylapatite (HA)-nanosize alumina composites were synthesized to study their phase stability and mechanical properties. To make these composites, nanosize alpha-Al2O3 powder was used because of its better sinterability and densification as compared to nanosize gamma-Al2O3. The composites were air sintered without pressure and hot pressed in vacuum at 1100 degrees C and 1200 degrees C. In the composites, HA decomposed to tricalcium phosphate faster after the air sintering than hot pressing. Moreover, hex...
A computational model for partially plastic stress analysis of orthotropic variable thickness disks subjected to external pressure Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Yedekçi, Buşra (2014-04-01) A computational model is developed to predict the states of stressand deformation in partially plastic, orthotropic, variable thickness, nonisothermal, stationary annular disks under external pressure. Assuming a state ofplane stress and using basic equations of mechanics of a disk, Maxwell relation,Hill’s quadratic yield condition, and a Swift type nonlinear hardening law, asingle governing differential equation describing the elastic and partially plasticresponse of an orthotropic, variable thickness, non...
A stochastic approach in reserve estimation Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-12-01) Geostatistics and more especially stochastic modeling of reservoir heterogeneities are being increasingly considered by reservoir analysts and engineers for their potential in generating more accurate reservoir models together with usable measures of spatial uncertainty. Geostatistics provides a probabilistic framework and a toolbox for data analysis with an early integration of information. The uncertainty about the spatial distribution of critical reservoir parameters is modeled and transferred all the wa...
Evaluation of an improved code for the performance of AFBCs Selçuk, Nevin; Oymak, O (1997-03-01) In a previously developed system model, bed and freeboard models were coupled for the continuous combustion of lignite particles of widely varied size distributions, burning in their own ash in a fluidised combustor. This was modified to incorporate a) a procedure for faster computation of particle-size distributions (PSDs) without any sacrifice of accuracy; b) an energy balance on char particles, for determining temperature variation with particle size; and c) assumption of plug flow for the interstitial g...
Investigation of band gap energy versus temperature for SnS 2 thin films grown by RF-magnetron sputtering Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Terlemezoglu, M.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Parlak, Mehmet; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) SnS2 thin films grown by magnetron sputtering technique were characterized by structurally and optically in the present work. Crystalline parameters, atomic compositions, and surface characteristics of SnS2 thin films were presented according to results of applied structural techniques. Optical studies of SnS2 thin films were accomplished by Raman spectroscopy and transmission methods. Raman spectrum exhibited two modes around 198 and 320 cm−1. Transmittance data obtained for various temperatures between 10...
