Injection molding is the most widely used processing technique for polymers. It offers several
advantages over other processing conditions such as good surface finish, the ability to …

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has become one of the dominant construction materials for sewer
systems over the past decades, as a result of its reputed merits. However, since PVC sewer …

A thermodynamic framework has been developed for a class of amorphous polymers used
in fused deposition modeling (FDM), in order to predict the residual stresses and the …

The decrease in stress crack resistance (SCR) of geomembranes (GMBs) due to physical
ageing is examined. It is shown that the SCR of a 1.5 mm high density polyethylene (HDPE) …

Detecting defects in various industrial products remains a challenging task in the industry.
Researchers are constantly working to improve detection techniques and tools for various …

This paper deals with residual stress in polyethylene (PE) pipes as an important factor that
influences their lifetime. Residual hoop stress distribution in a PE pipe was determined …

Abstract The performance of four 1.5-mm HDPE geomembranes from the same
manufacturer each with a different resin and additive package is examined in a synthetic …

An experimental investigation was designed to establish the distribution of mechanical
properties throughout a high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) gas pipe wall. The proposed …

This paper deals with the experimental determination of residual stress and other inherent
properties, density, yield stress, specific enthalpy of fusion and melting point temperature, of …

This paper presents a quick methodology to assess the lifetime of an internally and
externally pressurized polymer pipe using linear elastic fracture mechanics. The non …
