How do rubber-like materials fail in montone compression?

Rubber and rubber-like elastomers fail in a brittle manner. Therefore, I have some idea how the defect free bulk material fails. I have seen such failures in tension. But I have never seen any...

Why is the strain intensity factor not used in the same way as the stress intensity factor in LEFM?

In linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), only the stress intensity factor seems to be used. LEFM implies the same r−1/2 singularities of stress and strain at the crack tip. Very few articles...

When is a beam a plate and when is a membrane/bar thick?

Wide beam, or when is the beam a plate? The bending stiffness of a beam with rectangular cross-section (h x b) is D=Eh3b/12 with E=Young's modulus. If the width b is large, the beam deflects like...

Can strain based failure theories for brittle materials replace stress based theories?

Engineers are trained to think of stress limits and effective stress in strength of materials. Do you know strain limits and theories for effective strain? The idea to ask for strain limits came...

Generalization of Kirsch's problem to finite plate?

Kirsch's celebrated 1898 problem gives the stress in points A and B at a circular hole in the infinite plate. For the finite plate a formula for the stress in point A is given in books. I am...

Polyurethane IR / FT-IR Spectra

I'm going to perform FT-IR analysis of polyurethanes with different softsegments. Because polyurethanes have a wide spectrum of possible components I'm looking for literature featuring...

What do the principal tensor invariants measure?

The trace of the linearized strain tensor measures the relative change of volume, the determinant of the (left or right) Cauchy-Green tensor is the square of the ratio deformed volume to...

Why Do TDS and EC Increase with Larger Wastewater Volumes, While BOD and COD Decrease?

I have carried out MFC experiments on three different volumes, 50, 500 and 1000 mL of wastewater. Results after MFC treatment shows that TDS and EC are more in larger volumes of water i.e. TDS and...

Hello everyone! I observed in my culture (htert-RPE1 cells) an orange- red particle at the bottom of the dish. It is visible to the naked eye as a very very small red dot. Could it be a...

1. If I can quantize the atom using this hyperbolic spiral and classical physics, could nature do the same?

If we map as a continuous motion an ionising electron (beginning its journey at n=1) in an H atom, a specific hyperbolic spiral appears (see animation). When we solve this spiral formula, we find...

How to normalize and take the significance of the MTT OD values with 3 replicates for the same cell-line?

Hi, I have a question about normalizing the MTT OD values for doing the statistical analysis. So, if we have 3 different plates and we call them 3 different replicates, so, first we would...

You may try 1% phosphotungstic acid (negative staining). Works fine for nanoparticles.

Maureen G Metcalfe

You also might try 5% ammonium molybdate (pH 6.9) with 0.1% trehalose (w/v) for negative staining.
