The focus of this paper is on the stress-strain behavior and creep response of a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) with and without carrier layers. This study consists of two phases. The first phase focuses on understanding of the effects of fabrication profiles, including bonding pressure, bonding temperature, bonding time, and aging time, on the PSA joint strength. This part of the study is used to identify an acceptable bonding and aging conditions for manufacturing a robust PSA bonded assembly. Specimens fabricated with this selected set of bonding process conditions are then used for mechanical characterization. The second phase focuses on the assembly’s mechanical behavior (stress-strain behavior and the creep curves) under different loading conditions, including loading stress, loading rate, and loading temperature. The mechanical behavior of PSA bonded assemblies is affected not only by the loading conditions, but also by the assembly architecture. The mechanical behaviors and failure modes of PSAs with and without carrier layers are compared. The reasons for these differences are also discussed.

In order to investigate the effect of loading rate on the tensile performance, the uniaxial tensile experiments were conducted on universal testing machine under different loading rates (5 mm/min, 10mm/min, 50 mm/min, 100 mm/min and 150 mm/min), and a constant gage length equal to 200mm, resulting in loading strain rate of 4.17×10-4, 8.33×10-4/s, 4.17×10-3/s, 8.33×10-3/s,1.25×10-2/s, and the tensile stress-strain curves were obtained. The experimental results show that the tensile properties of the conveyor belt exhibit obvious rate-dependent behavior. In this paper, the rate sensitivity coefficient varied with loading rate, was calculated, and the nonlinear rate-dependent behavior was also investigated.

The foundation soil of the buildings and structures is often in complex initial stress states. The dynamic torsional shear triaxial tests are carried out on undisturbed and remodeling loess under different complex initial stress states by using the remolded DTC-199 torsional cyclic load triaxial apparatus, and the effects of each complex initial stress state parameter on dynamic shear modulus of loess are discussed. Results show that, other conditions being the same, the influence of angles of initial principal stressα0on dynamic shear modulusGdof loess show a trend of the biggerα0is, the smallerGdis. The effect laws of efficient of initial intermediate principal stressb0onGdof loess are not obvious. When the dynamic shear strain is larger, the bigger initial deviator stress ratioη0is, the smallerGdof loess is. The influence of initial average principal stresspm0on loess is significant. The biggerpm0is, the biggerGdof loess is.Gdof undisturbed loess is greater than that of remodeling loess under the complex initial stress states.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of testing rate on stress-strain behavior and volumetric changes of soil. A series of suction-controlled triaxial tests has been performed on reconstituted specimens of a silty sand (SM), at different stress-rates and strain-rates, respectively. The stress-strain paths were applied by using a modified version of a Bishop and Wesley device (USPv2), capable of applying independently pore-water and air pressure at both ends of the soil sample. During the isotropic compression stages loading rates of 2 and 32 kPa/h have been applied under constant suction values of 15 and 45 kPa. The drained deviator stages were conducted at the same suction levels under strain rates of 0.25 and 2.50 %/h. Results are presented in terms of applied loading rates as a function of the specimens specific volume, preconsolidation pressure, soil compressibility and deviatoric stress against strain rate. A comparison of results was made to a former study, under similar testing conditions of suction and loading rates at University of Napoli Federico II. The effect of loading rate on the soil behavior seems to have an insignificant effect on the specific volume variations, for the imposed values during the testing campaign.

Bone is a complex material that exhibits an amount of plasticity before bone fracture takes place, where the nonlinear relationship between stress and strain is of importance to understand the mechanism behind the fracture. This brief presents our study on the examination of the stress–strain relationship of bovine femoral cortical bone and the relationship representation by employing the Ramberg–Osgood (R–O) equation. Samples were taken and prepared from different locations (upper, middle, and lower) of bone diaphysis and were then subjected to the uniaxial tensile tests under longitudinal and transverse loading conditions, respectively. The stress–strain curves obtained from tests were analyzed via linear regression analysis based on the R–O equation. Our results illustrated that the R–O equation is appropriate to describe the nonlinear stress–strain behavior of cortical bone, while the values of equation parameters vary with the sample locations (upper, middle, and lower) and loading conditions (longitudinal and transverse).
