    Experimental and FEM analysis of mar behavior on amorphous polymers

    No full text
    Mar is a type of subtle surface damage caused by a sliding object barely visible to human eyes. This minor damage phenomenon has rarely been systematically studied. Significant research efforts for the fundamental understanding of mar behavior in polymers are still needed. In this study, the mar behavior of a series of model amorphous polymers, i.e., polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and polystyrene (PS), were investigated based on a modified ASTM/ISO scratch testing methodology and a corresponding finite element method (FEM) modeling. Furthermore, the mar-induced visibility and material parameter relationships were established through a systematic FEM parametric study. Experimental results show that PMMA has the highest mar visibility resistance, indicated by lower surface roughness variation and low contrast between marred region and the background. The numerical analysis showed that the maximum principal plastic strain (ε1p) and total dissipated plastic energy (Ep) can be considered for evaluating mar visibility resistance. Higher mar visibility resistance corresponds to lower ε1p and Ep values. Based on these two criteria, the parametric analysis shows that mar visibility resistance increases with lower modulus, higher yield stress, higher hardening slope, and lower softening slope. The usefulness of the present study for the preparation of mar resistant polymers is discussed.Structural Integrity & Composite

    Mortality of marine planktonic copepods : global rates and patterns

    No full text
    Using life history theory we make predictions of mortality rates in marine epi-pelagic copepods from field estimates of adult fecundity, development times and adult sex ratios. Predicted mortality increases with temperature in both broadcast and sac spawning copepods, and declines with body weight in broadcast spawners, while mortality in sac spawners is invariant with body size. Although the magnitude of copepod mortality does lie close to the overall general pattern for pelagic animals, copepod mortality scaling is much weaker, implying that small copepods are avoiding some mortality agent/s that other pelagic animals of a similar size do not, We compile direct in situ estimates of copepod mortality and compare these with our indirect predictions; we find the predictions generally match the field measurements well with respect to average rates and patterns. Finally, by comparing in situ adult copepod longevity with predation-free laboratory longevity, we are able to make the first global approximations of the natural rates of predation mortality. Predation and total mortality both increase with increasing temperature; however, the proportion that predation makes of total adult mortality is independent of ambient temperature, on average accounting for around 2/3 to 3/4 of the total

    This volume contains Grabowski’s inaugural dissertation: an edition, with annotated translation, of one of Narsai’s poems on the Joseph story from Genesis. The Syriac text was edited from a Berlin manuscript, and Grabowski, in the introduction, discusses Narsai’s possible sources and the meter, and gives a description of the manuscript itself. The notes to the translation highlight biblical, lexicographical, textual, and literary details.Annotated translation from the Syriac to German
