Fracture behavior of a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) under airbag deployment conditions evaluated through Reversed Charpy tests by E.A. Paredes-Mogica, U. Figueroa-López, S.B. Mohd Yasin, A.C. Taylor, A. Guevara-Morales

“…Additionally, wp increased at low temperatures when increasing the impact speed suggesting that the deformation process changes from isothermal to adiabatic, increasing the temperature at the crack tip. This was supported with the fracture surface analysis, in which a relaxation zone near the crack tip caused by a temperature increase was observed. …”

Influence of Tire-Recycled Steel Fibers on Strength and Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete by Yancong Zhang, Lingling Gao

“…To obtain concrete with approximately the same strength or toughness, the content of tire-recycled steel fibers should be about 1%-2% higher than that of industrial steel fibers. In addition, the load-deflection curve tends to become fuller after the first crack, and the second peak of the load continues to increase. …”
