The first Elinvar alloy, FeNiCr, which has invariant elastic modulus over a wide temperature range, was discovered almost 100 years ago by Guillaume. The physical origin of such an anomaly has been ...

Here, the nano-scale elastic modulus of a phase-separated polyolefin blend consisting of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and ethylene-co-octene rubber (EO) was investigated using atomic force microscopy ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

In digital circuits, insulating dielectrics separate the conducting parts (wire interconnects and transistors) from one another. As components have scaled down and transistors have gotten closer and ...
