Nonlinear dynamic effect in synthetic fibres from semi- and rigid chain polymers
A study on elastic and relaxation properties of a set of oriented polymers in the dynamic strain mode is reported in this paper. It is established that all investigated objects show the beatings phenomenon at a certain range of stresses and temperatures. The model and possible mechanisms of the observed phenomena are offered
Method of modeling viscoelastic properties of oriented polymer materials using multi-barrier theory
The results of modeling deformation processes of uniaxially oriented polymer materials are presented. The discription of
two-barrier model is given, according to which polymer macromolecules can be in three stable states. The constitutive
equation of the oriented polymer material is obtained. The solution of this equation is shown for the case of a deformation
mode with a constant load level. Based on the energy barriers theory, as a result of the transformation of the balance
equations of the occupation numbers of steady states, the constitutive equation of the polymer material is obtained.
This equation is a second-order differential equation in time. For the deformation process with a constant stress level,
the constitutive equation takes the form of a linear inhomogeneous second-order differential equation with constant
coefficients. A general solution of this equation is given in explicit form. The solution of the Cauchy problem gives a
general solution of the constitutive equation for the considered case. The analysis and transformation of the general
solution leads to dependencies that determine the deformation of the oriented polymer material for creep and recovery
processes. The use of a two-barrier model with three steady states of macromolecules made it possible to obtain a
constitutive equation which is a second-order differential equation in time. As an example, the application of the
constitutive equation to the deformation mode with a constant stress level is considered and its general solution is
obtained. A universal function has been introduced with the help of which it is possible to calculate the deformation of
a polymer material in the creep and recovery mode. By combining the theoretical curve with the experimental creep
curves of polyethylene terephthalate filaments, the applicability of the considered modeling method is shown. The
obtained constitutive equation makes it possible to describe and predict both static and dynamic deformation modes.
The applicability of the obtained model to the static mode of deformation is shown. It should be noted that the solution
of the obtained constitutive equation in certain cases leads to an oscillatory relaxation mode
COVID-19 and Labour Law: Italy
The article summarises the measures adopted by the Italian Government to protect workers and undertakings from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emergency legislation has provided for the closure of business and social distancing as well as specific health and safety provisions; it has also allocated economic aid for businesses, workers and families
Energy processes with natural quantization
The paper shows that the quantum-mechanical approach is applicable to most macro processes occurring in nature include the power industry. The mathematical apparatus of the isomorphic Heisenberg algebra is proposed. A non-commutative ring is constructed within which the commutation relations are given. The transition from quantum to classical theory is shown
