Creep and Material Property Correlations

Submitted by wharju2 on

Hey all, I'm looking for a method of determining creep properties of polymer products that is faster than applying a stress to them for an extended period of time.  Is anyone aware of any relations between more quickly/easily attainable material properties and creep properties?  Or is there any way to simulate an extended life test in a shorter amount of time?

Thanks for you help,

Wikipedia style publication in a categorized manner!

Submitted by RoozbehSanaei on

First excuse me for my poor English. Wikipedia-Style Open publish (suggested by Mike Ciavarella) can be a logical solution for many of Current publication and evaluation system problems, currently we utilize popularity for “quality warranty” and “Ranking” of papers and authors. Such factor can be a measure for evaluating the papers and authors in the new style too. The reliability of papers can even increase by this way more, Categorization of scientific papers is one of necessities of today’s scientific network.

How to measure the deformation in the soil

Submitted by Xiangpeng Kong on

Recentl, in my research ,I need measure the deformation in the soil caused by the simulation of tunnelling construction in the labotory.In China, I have not found the proper devices to get the deformation occured under the simulation soil surface.Anyone who knows the devices or give me the advice will be appreciated!
