Answer to Problem 9.22P

The maximum possible elastic modulus in the polymer that will result in the maximum allowable clamping force is 2GPa .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The length of the polymer is 0.05m .

The change in length of the polymer is 0.0001m .

The maximum clamping force is 1×104N .

Formula Used:

Write the expression for the strain in the polymer as:

  ε=Δll …… (I)

Here, ε is the elastic strain in the material, Δl is the change in length of the polymer and l is the length of the polymer.

Write the expression for the stress acting on the polymer as:

  σ=FA …… (II)

Here, F is the clamping force and A is the cross sectional area.

Write the expression for the elastic modulus in the polymer as:

  E=σε …… (III)

Here, σ is the stress acting on the polymer.

Calculation:

Substitute 0.05m for l and 0.0001m for Δl in equation (I)

  ε=0.0001m0.05m=0.02

Substitute 1×104N for F and (0.05m)2 for A in equation (II)

  σ=1×104N(0.05m)2=4×106Pa=4MPa

Substitute 4×106Pa for σ and 0.02 for ε in equation (III)

  E=4×106Pa0.002=2×109Pa×109GPa1Pa=2GPa

Conclusion:

Thus, the maximum possible elastic modulus in the polymer that will result in the maximum allowable clamping force is 2GPa .

Answer to Problem 9.22P

The minimum allowable viscosity of the polymer is 30×1015Pas .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The length of the polymer is 0.05m .

The change in length of the polymer is 0.0001m .

The maximum clamping force is 1×104N .

Formula Used:

Write the expression for the relation of viscosity and decay of stress.

  σσ0=exp(E3ηt) …… (IV)

Here, σ is the stress in the polymer after one year, σ0 is the initial stress in the polymer, η is the viscosity of the polymer and t is the expected life of the polymer.

Calculation:

Substitute 4×106Pa for σ0 , 2×106Pa for σ , 2×109Pa for E and 365days for t in equation (IV).

  2×106Pa4×106Pa=exp(2×109Pa3η×(365days)×(24h1day)×(60min1h)×(60s1min))0.5=exp(2.1×1016η)ln(0.5)=ln[exp(2.1×1016η)]η=30×1015Pas

Conclusion:

Thus, the minimum allowable viscosity of the polymer is 30×1015Pas .
