SUMMARY:Mechanical behaviour of particulate polymer composites - Dan Drodg
 e\, SMF Group\, Cavendish Laboratory

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:Particulate composites include concrete\, tyre rubber\, plasti
 c explosives and certain brands of confectionery. The effect of the micros
 tructure of these materials on their large-strain deformation properties i
 s by no means a closed book - whilst modern computational power does allow
  researchers to plug volumetric models wholesale into finite element codes
 \, there is still a role for experiment to play. Here\, some experiments i
 nto the effect of fill-density and particle size are reported.
