Tensile strength

The tensile behaviour of common engineering polymers Abstract A polymer is a macromolecule made of long chains of carbon atoms. This structure gives to the polymers special properties such as rubber elasticity. This investigation focuses on the rubber elasticity of the polymers. Different common polymers are tested on a machine that stretches the polymer at different speeds. The test shows that some polymers stretch whereas others break instantly due to the tensile force. The structure of the

BLS SPOTLIGHT ON STATISTICS SPORTS AND EXERCISE www.bls.gov/spotlight Sports and Exercise May 2008 What percentage of people (aged 15 years and older) who live in the United States participated in sports and exercise activities on an average day in recent years? About 16 percent. In comparison, consider that the number of people who watched television on an average day is roughly five times larger. These charts, which display data from the American Time Use Survey, take a closer look

Les critères de choix des matériaux doivent tenir compte des facteurs suivants : Fonctions Mat. de Construct. Mécanique: • stabilité pour ne pas s’effondrer – rigidité (stiffness) – résistance en compression (compressive strength) – résistance en tension (tensile strength) • durabilité – fluage – relaxation • fonctions principales de la construction : modes de mise en charge, des températures et des conditions générales d’utilisation. • comportements intrinsèques du matériau : résistance à

temperature is lower, the strength of the cement, i.e. its adhesive power, is largely undermined29. Cement strength is generally measured in terms of compressive strength. This is done by compressing a small cement brick and measuring the weight at which the brick cracks. The compressive strength is measured in pounds supported per square inch (lb./sq.in). Portland cement is particularly useful in construction because of its high compressive strength30. There is another strength measure where cement in
