High density polyethylene foams. III. Tensile properties
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The room temperature tensile properties of closed‐cell polyethylene foams have been investigated. High density polyethylene (HDPE) foams of four different molecular weight were used to study the effect of molecular weight and foam density on mechanical properties during tension and at the break point. It was found that increasing the molecular weight changes the tensile behavior of polyethylene foams from brittle to ductile fractures. For brittle foams, the break strength follows a square power‐law model and the break strain is independent of the volume fraction of the voids. For ductile foams, the normalized yield strength also follows a square power‐law relation with normalized density, the yield strain is similar to the value of the solid polymer and remains constant for all void volume fractions, and the break strain increases with HDPE molecular weight. Finally, the toughness of the foams was found to increase with normalized density and HDPE molecular weight. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 90: 2130–2138, 2003

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
