Slow crack growth (SCG) is a time-dependent quasi-brittle type of failure that polyethylene
(PE) materials exhibit under low stress levels. The interplay between the crack and its plastic …

Cyclically loaded rubbers exhibit a complex history-dependent response characterized by
fatigue-induced stress-softening and hysteresis along with dissipative heating. The coupling …

Во второй части обзора на основе анализа мирового опыта проведения климатических
испытаний определены основные тенденции развития, связанные с новым …

The present contribution investigates within a hierarchical multi-scale approach the relation
between the macroscopic properties of semi-crystalline poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) and …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of UV irradiation on the fatigue life of
a bulk semi-crystalline polymer. Low-density polyethylene samples exposed to different UV …

In this article, we present a multi-scale plastic-damage model for strain-induced
morphological anisotropy in semi-crystalline polyethylene formulated within a continuum …

Kirigami metamaterials can be exploited in stretchable electronics owing to their
architecture, which can be leveraged to amplify stretchability, bendability and deformability …

The characterization of the mechanical response of semi-crystalline high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) materials submitted to mixed mode oligo-cyclic tensile loading …

Under cyclical loading–unloading compression conditions, flexible thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU)/nanoclay composite foams exhibit inelastic behaviors consisting of …

Reversibility and durability have become new bottlenecks for conjugated polymers to realize
“stretchable” semiconducting devices. Therefore, the correlation between microstructure and …
