    Notes: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to compute the surface bond rupture density in polyurethane and to determine the phase experiencing fracture in styrene-butadiene block copolymers when these elastomers are subjected to mechanical degradation by grinding. The polyurethane grinding was done at temperatures above and below the glass transition Tg; 0.155 × 1013 radicals/cm2 of fracture surface area were formed above the Tg and 4.42 × 1013 radicals/cm2 for grinding below the Tg. These values are essentially equal to those found earlier for spherulitic polymers. In all cases the fracture appears able to progress along preferential paths so as to rupture significantly fewer molecular chains than one would expect on the basis of calculations of the number of chains passing through each square centimeter of cross section. Comparison of EPR spectra formed by grinding styrene-butadiene copolymer with those of styrene and butadiene above indicated that at cryogenic temperature, the fracture in the copolymer takes place in the butadiene phase.

    Notes: A reaction rate model of fracture in polymer fibers is described. This model assumes that bond rupture is governed by absolute reaction rate theory with a stress-aided activation energy. It is demonstrated that the key in obtaining good agreement between the model and experiment lies in taking proper account of the variation of stress on the tie-chain molecules. The more taut chains rupture first, and the load is redistributed among the remaining unruptured tie chains. The effect of varying the temperature both in the model and in experiments on fracture in fibers is explored. Good agreement between predictions of the model and experiment is possible only with an undeterstanding of the distribution in stress on the tie chains. The distribution in stress on the chains was experimentally determined by monitoring the kinetics of bond rupture with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Temperature is found to have two effects on macroscopic strength. (1) The thermal energy aids the atomic stress in breaking the atomic bonds; as a consequence the rate of bond rupture of a family of bonds under a given molecular stress is increased. In this respect temperature might be viewed as decreasing the “strength” of a bond. (2) Temperature also serves to “loosen” the molecular structure and in this way modify the distribution in stress on the tie chains. To explain bond rupture and macroscopic fracture behavior quantitatively, account must be taken of both effects.

    Notes: Chromocene deposited on silica supports of high surface area forms a highly active catalyst for polymerization of ethylene. Polymerization is believed to occur by a coordinated anionic mechanism previously outlined. The catalyst formation step liberates cyclopentadiene and leads to a new divalent chromium species containing a cyclopentadienyl ligand. The catalyst has a very high chain-transfer response to hydrogen which permits facile preparation of a full range of molecular weights. Catalyst activity increases with an increase in silica dehydration temperature, chromium content on silica, and ethylene reaction pressure. The temperature-activity profile is characterized by a maximum near 60°C, presumably caused by a deactivation mechanism involving silica hydroxyl groups. A value of 72 was estimated for the ethylene-propylene reactivity ratio (r1). Linear, highly saturated polymers are normally prepared below 100°C. By contrast with other commercial polyethylenes, the chromocene catalyst produces polyethylenes of relatively narrow molecular weight distribution. Above 100°C, unsaturated, branched polymers or oligomers are formed by a simultaneous polymerization-isomerization process.

    Notes: Bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate is an active catalyst for ethylene polymerization without further treatment or additives. Catalytic activity is markedly increased when the compound is deposited on silica-alumina and is further increased if it is deposited on silica and then treated with an aluminum alkyl. Polymer molecular weight can be controlled by reaction temperature, hydrogen addition, support type, and reducing agent structure to give polymers ranging in melt index from essentially zero to 〉 100. In the supported catalysts the bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate appears to be bound to the support and to undergo a reduction step either by reaction with ethylene or with aluminum alkyl prior to polymerization. The active site is envisioned as chromium alkyl, bound to the support, with propagation occurring by insertion of the monomer into a Cr—C bond. Chain termination is by chain transfer to monomer.

    Notes: The stereochemical composition of the free radical alternating isobutene-maleic anhydride (IB/MA), isobutene-dimethyl fumarate (IB/DMF), and isobutene-dimethyl maleate (IB/DMM) copolymers was investigated by proton magnetic resonance. In contrast to the singlet gem-dimethyl resonance found in polyisobutene or in the alternating isobutene/acrylonitrile copolymer, the gem-dimethyl resonance of IB/MA, hydrolyzed IB/MA, and esterified IB/MA is a quadruplet with peaks of approximately equal intensity. The multiplicity of the spectra is consistent with the presence of equal amounts of threo-di-isotactic and threo-di-syndiotactic triads, disproving previous claims that such copolymers are predominantly threo-di-isotactic. The spectrum of the analogous IB/DMF indicates that the copolymer is composed entirely of erythro-di- isotactic and erythro-di-syndiotactic triads. This result is consistent with the exclusive trans opening of the dimethyl fumarate double bond and provides the first example for the stereospecific double bond opening of a noncyclic monomer in free radical polymerization. In contrast, the spectrum of IB/DMM shows that the dimethyl maleate double bond opens approximately 93% cis and 7% trans during copolymerization. Since the stereochemical composition of IB/DMF and IB/DMM is not the same, it is concluded that the radicals formed from dimethyl maleate and/or dimethyl fumarate do not equilibrate freely among all the possible configurations before isobutene addition.

    Description: Fourteen C-130 airplane center wings, each containing service-imposed fatigue damage resulting from 4000 to 13,000 accumulated flight hours, were tested to determine their fatigue crack propagation and static residual strength characteristics. Eight wings were subjected to a two-step constant amplitude fatigue test prior to static testing. Cracks up to 30 inches long were generated in these tests. Residual static strengths of these wings ranged from 56 to 87 percent of limit load. The remaining six wings containing cracks up to 4 inches long were statically tested as received from field service. Residual static strengths of these wings ranged from 98 to 117 percent of limit load. Damage-tolerant structural design features such as fastener holes, stringers, doublers around door cutouts, and spanwise panel splices proved to be effective in retarding crack propagation.

    Description: An analysis was developed to calculate the minimum mass-strength curve for an orthotropic cylinder subjected to axial compressive loading. The analysis, which includes the effects of ring and stringer eccentricities, is in a general form so that various cylinder wall and stiffener geometries can be considered. Several different ring-stiffened orthotropic configurations were studied. The minimum mass-strength curves and the dimensions associated with these curves are presented for (in order of decreasing efficiency) a tubular double bead, a nonsymmetric double bead, a Z-stiffened skin, and a trapezoidal corrugation. A comparison of efficiencies of the configurations shows a tubular element cylinder to be more efficient than a 3-percent core-density honeycomb-sandwich cylinder. It was found that for an optimized Z-stiffened skin, the location of the Z-stiffeners (internal or external) made a negligible difference in efficiency.

    Description: This paper examines some basic considerations underlying dynamic shell response analysis and the impact of these considerations upon the practical aspects of solution by numerical methods. Emphasis is placed on the solution of linear problems. The present states of development of the finite difference and finite element methods are reviewed, and techniques for the treatment of temporal variation are discussed. An examination is made of the frequency parameters characteristic of thin shell theory, applied excitations, and spatial mesh geometries, and the significance of these parameters with respect to computational convergence is illustrated.

    Description: Results from a continuing effort to develop automated methods for structural design are described. A system of computer programs presently under development called SAVES is intended to automate the preliminary structural design of a complete aerospace vehicle. Each step in the automated design process of the SAVES system of programs is discussed, with emphasis placed on use of automated routines for generation of finite-element models. The versatility of these routines is demonstrated by structural models generated for a space shuttle orbiter, an advanced technology transport,n hydrogen fueled Mach 3 transport. Illustrative numerical results are presented for the Mach 3 transport wing.
