Quantitative studies on diffusional growth of an isolated
precipitate in a supersaturated matrix date back to the classic work of
C Zener (1949) and F C Frank
(1950); while Zener-Frank (ZF) theory is for precipitates that are
non-misfitting, misfitting precipitates have been studied by Laraia,
Johnson and Voorhees (1988) (hereafter, LJV). Both ZF and LJV are sharp
interface models (and are mostly analytical); further, the assumptions
made in these theories make it difficult to verify their results by

Dear colleagues, this is a paper on the experimental determination of temperature field at the crack tip in a natural rubber using a motion compensation technique. The contribution of the non-uniformity of the IR detectors and the Narcissus effect is taking into account to determine the temperature field.

This year’s meeting will take place on 13-19 November 2009, in Lake Buena, Florida.  The deadline to submit abstracts is today (2 March 2009).

Well I am really wondering about thsi right now as I read  that I should really try to further my education via Distance learning .

This is a study dealing with the volume variation in filled crystallizable natural (F-NR) and uncrystallizable styrene butadiene (F-SBR) rubbers subjected to cyclic loadings. During their deformation, such materials exhibit volume variation induced by the cavitation phenomenon and the decohesion between particles and the rubber matrix.
