高聚物拉伸形变中的声发射

对一系列高聚物进行了单轴拉伸过程中声发射的观察,包括玻璃态高聚物、结晶高聚物、共聚物、共混高聚物和一种交联橡胶。非晶态高聚物拉伸时声发射次数很少,伴随银纹和微裂缝的产生而出现。结晶高聚物在屈服成颈时出现强的声发射,在颈部拉伸的初期声发射较少或不出现,拉伸到接近试件断裂前声发射强烈,次数急剧增多。相同高聚物但试件加工成形历史不同会在声发射上得到反映。交联的顺丁橡胶拉伸时声发射很弱,但可以观察到,在拉力-形变曲线开始偏离线性后出现,没有Kaiser效应。共混高聚物拉伸时声发射很多。高耐冲击共混接枝塑料在断裂前不出现强烈的声发射。如试样和试件加工成形条件相同,声发射现象的重演性是相当好的。     

高聚物声发射的一些观察

对高聚物的声发射做了进一步的实验观察。玻璃态高聚物在拉伸屈服以前的声发射有Kaiser效应,但在高弹态则不然。非晶态高聚物从玻璃态到高弹态的转变,玻璃态拉伸时在屈服附近出现声发射,高弹态时声发射要少而弱得多,只在高弹拉伸的断裂前出现声发射。非晶态、晶态高聚物或共混高聚物在突然升温到100℃时有声发射,但在突然降温到-60℃时却不出现声发射,这可能也说明声发射与高聚物试样内形成空洞有关。一种聚丙烯树脂在不同注射成形工艺条件下所得试件,在拉伸时的声发射行为可反映加工成形的好坏,成形好的声发射少得多。

拉伸温度对α’-型聚乳酸结构与性能的影响

α’-晶型聚乳酸(PLA)膜被制备和单轴拉伸.通过凝胶渗透色谱仪(GPC)、全反射红外光谱(ATR-IR)、差示扫描量热仪(DSC),X射线衍射(XRD)及Raman光谱等测试技术研究了拉伸温度梯度变化对α’-晶型PLA膜的分子量及其分布、分子链构象、结晶度、晶型转变和取向行为的影响.在恒定拉伸速度与应变下,拉伸温度对PLA膜的应力-应变曲线,特别是屈服强度、拉伸模量产生了较大的影响,其值随拉伸温度的增加而降低.GPC测试结果表明,在不同的温度下拉伸后,PLA会发生一定程度的降解,分子量降低;ATR-IR,XRD,DSC和Raman光谱测试结果表明,在不同的温度下拉伸后α’-型PLA没有发生晶型的转变,即没有由α’-晶体转变为α-或β-晶体.结果表明PLA的结晶度、分子链取向程度强烈依赖于拉伸温度:当拉伸温度低于100℃时,α’-型PLA膜的结晶度与沿着拉伸方向的变形程度随拉伸温度的增加而增加,分子链的高度取向诱导了PLA结晶;当拉伸温度超过100℃后,PLA的分子链沿着拉伸方向上的有序度与结晶度将降低.

Acoustic emission evaluation of the fracture behavior of APS‐TBCs subjecting to bondcoating oxidation

Air‐plasma‐sprayed (APS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) under the conditions of without TBC, as‐sprayed and preoxidized, were tested under tensile loading, and their acoustic emission (AE) responses were monitored. AE parameters including event count, amplitude, and frequency spectrum realized by Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) were analyzed for information regarding the fracture behavior of TBCs. On the basis of AE behavior, the fracture process of TBCs and corresponding cracking patterns in TBCs subjected to tensile tests were evaluated. AE results also showed that the bondcoating oxidation not only promotes the cracking but also changes the failure mode in TBCs. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Acoustic emission characterization of tensile damage in 3D braiding composite shafts

The acoustic emission (AE) method was used to monitor the tensile damage in a 3D braiding composite shaft. The 3D braiding composite shaft was manufactured via Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Moulding (VARTM) and the tensile experiment was conducted accompanied by AE monitoring. The AE signals were analyzed using the wavelet transformation for time-frequency analysis. The characteristic values of the AE signals were decomposed by the principal component analysis (PCA). The damage mode of the 3D braiding composite shaft under tension was identified and classified by the fuzzy clustering method (FCM). The results showed that the AE method could monitor the damage evolution process of the 3D braiding composite shaft under tension and the FCM combined with the PCA effectively divided the damage mode of the 3D braiding composite shaft. The results will provide an effective method for health monitoring of the 3D braiding composite shaft within engineering.     

Comparison of interfacial properties of electrodeposited single carbon fiber/epoxy composites using tensile and compressive fragmentation tests and acoustic emission

Interfacial and microfailure properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites were evaluated using both tensile fragmentation and compressive Broutman tests with an aid of acoustic emission (AE). A monomeric and two polymeric coupling agents were applied via the electrodeposition (ED) and the dipping applications. A monomeric and a polymeric coupling agent showed significant and comparable improvements in interfacial shear strength (IFSS) compared to the untreated case under both tensile and compressive tests. Typical microfailure modes including cone-shaped fiber break, matrix cracking, and partial interlayer failure were observed under tension, whereas the diagonal slipped failure at both ends of the fractured fiber exhibited under compression. Adsorption and shear displacement mechanisms at the interface were described in terms of electrical attraction and primary and secondary bonding forces. For both the untreated and the treated cases AE distributions were separated well in tension, whereas AE distributions were rather closely overlapped in compression. It might be because of the difference in molecular failure energies and failure mechanisms between tension and compression. The maximum AE voltage for the waveform of either carbon or large-diameter basalt fiber breakages in tension exhibited much larger than that in compression. AE could provide more likely the quantitative information on the interfacial adhesion and microfailure.     

Acoustic emission potentialities for characterization of Mullins effect in natural rubber materials filled with carbon black

Acoustic Emission (AE) was investigated in order to monitor in real time the Mullins effect. Cyclic uniaxial tensile tests were carried out on two different natural rubbers. Different behaviour is revealed depending on whether or not the material undergoes the Mullins effect. The acoustic emission activity is very important during the first cycle, but decreases gradually with increasing number of cycles, when the Mullins effect is observed. On the contrary, when there is no Mullins effect no significant AE activity is recorded.     

Interfacial Aspects of Electrodeposited Conductive Fibers/Epoxy Composites using Electro-Micromechanical Technique and Nondestructive Evaluation

Interfacial adhesion and nondestructive behavior of the electrodeposited (ED) carbon fiber reinforced composites were evaluated using the electro-micromechanical technique and acoustic emission (AE). Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the ED carbon fiber/epoxy composites was higher than that of the untreated case. This might be expected because of the possible chemical and hydrogen bonding based on an electrically adsorbed polymeric interlayer. Logarithmic electrical resistivity of the untreated single-carbon fiber composite increased suddenly to infinity when the fiber fracture occurred, whereas that of the ED composite increased relatively broadly up to infinity. This may be due to the retarded fracture time as a result of the enhanced IFSS. In single- and 10-carbon fiber composites, the number of AE signals coming from the interlayer failure of the ED carbon fiber composite was much larger than that of the untreated composite. As the number of each first fiber fracture increased in the 10-carbon fiber composite, the electrical resistivity increased stepwise, and the slope of logarithmic electrical resistance increased. In the three-graphite filament composite with a narrow 1 time inter-filament distance, the total numbers of the filament fracture and the IFSS were smaller than those of the wider 5 times case. This might be because the interacting fracture energy caused by a filament break could affect the adjacent filaments. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

STUDY OF ACOUSTIC EMISSION DURING NON-ISOTHERMAL CRYSTALLIZATION OF POLYPROPYLENE

In this paper we have presented the results of acoustic emission (AE) during non-isothemal crystallization of polypropylene (PP) melt with mean cooling rate 4℃/min, and discussed the effects of molecular weight (MW) on AE activity. It is shown that the amount of AE ring-down counts during whole crystallization of PP depends on the MW strongly.The copious AE bursts have been observed at the late stage of PPcrystallization. AE bursts are caused by cracking, crazing and cavitation between spherulites and inside spherulites.     

Self‐reinforced composites based on commercial PP woven fabrics and a random PP copolymer modified with quartz

Self‐reinforced composites based on commercial polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics and a random PP copolymer modified with quartz were obtained by film stacking. The effect of the incorporation of quartz on the materials fracture and failure behavior was studied through uniaxial tensile tests and quasi‐static fracture experiments. Acoustic emission analysis was also performed in situ in the tensile tests. A higher consolidation quality was obtained for the composites containing quartz. In the composite with random PP modified with 5 wt% quartz, the higher consolidation and the better dispersion of quartz particles positively impacted on the materials tensile and fracture behavior. From the results of acoustic emission analysis, fiber fracture appears as the dominant failure mechanism in the investigated composites. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Improvement of interfacial adhesion and nondestructive damage evaluation for plasma-treated PBO and Kevlar fibers/epoxy composites using micromechanical techniques and surface wettability

Comparison of interfacial properties and microfailure mechanisms of oxygen-plasma treated poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole (PBO, Zylon) and poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA, Kevlar) fibers/epoxy composites were investigated using a micromechanical technique and nondestructive acoustic emission (AE). The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and work of adhesion, Wa, of PBO or Kevlar fiber/epoxy composites increased with oxygen-plasma treatment, due to induced hydrogen and covalent bondings at their interface. Plasma-treated Kevlar fiber showed the maximum critical surface tension and polar term, whereas the untreated PBO fiber showed the minimum values. The work of adhesion and the polar term were proportional to the IFSS directly for both PBO and Kevlar fibers. The microfibril fracture pattern of two plasma-treated fibers appeared obviously. Unlike in slow cooling, in rapid cooling, case kink band and kicking in PBO fiber appeared, whereas buckling in the Kevlar fiber was observed mainly due to compressive and residual stresses. Based on the propagation of microfibril failure toward the core region, the number of AE events for plasma-treated PBO and Kevlar fibers increased significantly compared to the untreated case. The results of nondestructive AE were consistent with microfailure modes.     

The Characteristics of Information Dimension

Based on the information theory and multifractals viewpoint, the information dimension D_1 of acoustic emission (AE) of rock for marble, gabbro and sandstone in a laboratory condition and seismic activities before and after some large earthquakes are studied. The results show that there is a dimension reduction process before the failure of rock and before the occurrence of large earthquakes. The curves of D_1 determined during the process have a wider non-scaling range. Moreover, the non-scaling range became narrow when rock was close to failure fracture and large earthquake was just to happen. This shows that the system has instable critical behavior.
