Effect of Resin Formulation on thermoset viscoelasticity
Article Abstract:
A model is proposed to predict the effects of the change in viscoelastic relaxation curves of thermoset resins, which relates the properties of the initial monomer mixture and conversion level to changes in the relaxation curves. It is observed that changes in the relaxations curves due to variations in conversion level could be predicted quite accurately from the shape and shift factor of the fully cured mastercurve.

Modeling of fatigue crack propagation during sliding wear of polymers
Article Abstract:
A predefined crack path in a material half is adopted, and under the loading of a sliding indenter on the material surface, the fatigue-induced propagation of a surface crack along this path is investigated. The study concluded that branching has a beneficial effect on improving the resistance to crack growth and thus the fatigue life of the material surface.

Continuum and molecular-level modeling of fatigue crack retardation in self-healing polymers
Article Abstract:
A numerical model is presented to study the fatigue crack retardation in a self-healing material. This approach is found to yield the cure kinetics and the mechanical properties as a function of the degree of cure, information that is transmitted to the continuum-scale models.
