The effect of the microstructure of porous alumina films on the mechanical properties of glass-fiber-reinforced aluminum laminates

The glass-fiber-reinforced aluminum laminates were obtained by anodizing aluminum alloy under anodizing voltage of 10, 20, and 30?V in the 200?g/L H₃PO₄ electrolyte. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), short beam, and tensile tests were employed to determine the surface morphology, interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and tensile strength of laminates, respectively. The results also show that the epoxy penetrates into the pores of the anodic films, and this is the mechanism of adhesion. The ILSS and tensile strength of the anodized specimens (under 20?V) respectively increased by approximately 50 and 15% comparing with those of the non-anodized specimens. This increase of mechanical properties results from the porous surface of aluminum providing greater mechanical interlocking to epoxy. The ILSS and tensile strengths of the anodized specimens increased with the increase of anodizing voltage from 10 to 20?V; however, it decreased when the voltage further increased to 30?V. It is considered that the microstructure evolution of the porous films has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the laminates.     

Investigation of the design of a metal-lined fully wrapped composite vessel under high internal pressure

In this study, a Type III composite pressure vessel (ISO 11439:2000) loaded with high internal pressure is investigated in terms of the effect of the orientation of the element coordinate system while simulating the continuous variation of the fibre angle, the effect of symmetric and non-symmetric composite wall stacking sequences, and lastly, a stacking sequence evaluation for reducing the cylindrical section-end cap transition region stress concentration. The research was performed using an Ansys^® model with 2.9 l volume, 6061 T6 aluminium liner/Kevlar^® 49-Epoxy vessel material, and a service internal pressure loading of 22 MPa. The results show that symmetric stacking sequences give higher burst pressures by up to 15%. Stacking sequence evaluations provided a further 7% pressure-carrying capacity as well as reduced stress concentration in the transition region. Finally, the Type III vessel under consideration provides a 45% lighter construction as compared with an all metal (Type I) vessel.     

Effect of Processing Parameters on the Interlaminar Shear Strength of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites

The objective of this work was to improve the interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composites by determining the effect on it of the processing parameters of the cured composites system, i.e., temperature, content of curing agent, and heating rate. Taguchi methodology and analysis of variance were applied for optimizing and statistically determining the significant factors that influenced the mechanical properties of the composites. It was found that the temperature and content of curing agent were equally the primary significant factors in controlling the interlaminar shear strength of the composites. Also, the correlation between water absorption and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated.     

A refined method for estimating fiber and interfacial shear strength by using a single-fiber composite

In estimating interfacial shear strength from the fragmentation process of fibers in single-fiber composites, a problem arises as to the value of the fiber strength if the fiber strengths distribute widely and strongly depend on the fiber length. To overcome this problem, a refined analysis method for simultaneously estimating the fiber and the interfacial shear strength from the fragmentation process has been shown. Agreements between the values estimated with the proposed method and the results of the single-fiber tensile and the direct shear tests have been obtained. It has been shown that the estimation of the interfacial shear strength using the proposed method is insensitive to the matrix properties if the interfacial shear strength is unaltered by the matrix properties, and that the variations of the distribution parameters of the fiber strength is significantly smaller for the proposed method as compared with the single-fiber tensile tests. The results obtained by applying the proposed method to various carbon fibers have been shown.     

Relation between interfacial shear strength and compressive strength of carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite strands

The mechanism with which the fiber-matrix interfacial strength exerts its influence on the compressive strength of fiber reinforced composites has been studied by measuring the axial compressive strength of carbon fiber/epoxy resin unidirectional composite strands having different levels of interfacial shear strength. The composite strands are used for experiments in order to investigate the compressive strength which is not affected by the delamination taking place at a weak interlayer of the laminated composites. The interfacial strength is varied by applying various degrees of liquid-phase surface treatment to the fibers. The efficiency of the compressive strength of the fibers utilized in the strength of the composite strands is estimated by measuring the compressive strength of the single carbon filaments with a micro-compression test. The compressive strength of the composite strands does not increase monotonically with increasing interfacial shear strength but showes lower values at higher interfacial shear strengths. With increasing interfacial shear strength, the suppression of the interfacial failure in the misaligned fiber region increases the compressive strength, while at higher interfacial shear strengths, the enhancement of the crack sensitivity decreases the compressive strength.     

Relationship between fibre-matrix adhesion and the interfacial shear strength in polymer-based composites

A model is proposed to correlate the interfacial shear strength at the fibre-matrix interface, measured by means of a fragmentation test on single fibre composites, to the reversible work of adhesion between both solids, this quantity being defined as the sum of the dispersive and the acid-base interactions (physical interactions) between the fibre and the matrix. Whatever the nature of the fibres and the matrices, a linear relationship, passing through the origin, is established between the interfacial shear strength and the reversible work of adhesion. However, the slope of this straight line depends on the elastic properties and, more precisely, on the elastic moduli of both the fibre and the matrix. This leads us to express the reversible work of adhesion as the product of a mean intermolecular distance at the interface and an adhesive pressure related to the interfacial shear strength. The limits of the theoretical and experimental approaches leading to the establishment of such a model, as well as its domain of validity, are discussed.     

Maintenance of highly interfacial shear strength by diblock copolymer between carbon fiber and epoxy resin in hostile environment

The environmental resistance properties of carbon fiber (CF), with various surface modifications, reinforcing epoxy resin composites have been studied by a microbond test. The results of cooling–heating cycling between ?40 and 95?°C indicate that the introduction of the flexible poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PnBA) blocks into the interface can effectively decrease the interfacial degradation rate, induced by interfacial thermal stress. After 50 cooling–heating cycles, the interfacial shear strength between CF and epoxy resin was still as high as 32.69?±?2.13?MPa. The results of hygrothermal treatment by immersing the composites in hot water show that assembly morphology of the diblock copolymer hydroxyl-terminated poly(n-butyl acrylate-b-glycidyl methacrylate) (OH-PnBA-b-GMA) at the interface can decrease the interfacial water absorption and thus increase the hygrothermal resistance of the composite. Besides, the length of PnBA block in the diblock copolymer influenced the interfacial properties of the composite in a hygrothermal environment.     

Growth of interfacial debonding in notched two-dimensional unidirectional composite under stress and displacement controls

A simplified calculation method for study of the growth of interfacial debonding between elastic fiber and elastic matrix ahead of the notch-tip in composites under displacement and stress controlled conditions was presented based on the shear lag approach in which the influences of residual stress and frictional shear stress at the debonded interface were incorporated. The calculation method was applied to a model two-dimensional composite. An outline is given of the difference and similarity in the growing behavior of the debonding between the displacement and stress controls, and of the influences of the residual stresses, frictional shear stress, the nature of the final cut component (fiber or matrix) and sample length on the debonding behavior.

Effects of residual stress and interfacial frictional shear stress on interfacial debonding at notch-tip in two-dimensional unidirectional composite

A calculation method based on the shear lag approach was presented to get an approximate estimate of influences of residual stresses and frictional shear stress at the debonded interface on the interfacial debonding behavior at the notch-tip along fiber direction in two-dimensional unidirectional double-edge-notched composites. With this method, the energy release rate for initiation and growth of debonding as a function of composite stress were calculated for some examples. The calculation results showed in outline how much the tensile and compressive residual stresses in the matrix and fiber along fiber direction, respectively, act to hasten the initiation and growth of the debonding when the final cut element in the notch is matrix, while they act to retard them when the final cut element is fiber, and how much the frictional shear stress at the debonded interface reduces the growth rate of the debonding.

Structural and elastic properties of TiN under high pressure

We have investigated the structural and elastic properties of TiN at high pressures by the first-principles plane wave pseudopotential density functional theory method at applied pressures up to 45.4 GPa. The obtained normalized volume dependence of the resulting pressure is in excellent agreement with the experimental data investigated using synchrotron radial x-ray diffraction (RXRD) under nonhydrostatic compression up to 45.4 GPa in a diamond-anvil cell. Three independent elastic constants at zero pressure and high pressure are calculated. From the obtained elastic constants, the bulk modulus, Young's modulus, shear modulus, acoustic velocity and Debye temperature as a function of the applied pressure are also successfully obtained.     

Structural, electronic and vibrational properties of InN under high pressure

The structural, electronic and vibrational properties of InN under pressures up to 20 GPa have been investigated using the pseudo-potential plane wave method (PP-PW). The generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) in the frame of density functional theory (DFT) approach has been adopted. It is found that the transition from wurtzite (B4) to rocksalt (B1) phase occurs at a pressure of approximately 12.7 GPa. In addition, a change from a direct to an indirect band gap is observed. The mechanism of these changes is discussed. The phonon frequencies and densities of states (DOS) are derived using the linear response approach and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). The properties of phonons are described by the harmonic approximation method. Our results show that phonons play an important role in the mechanism of phase transition and in the instability of B4 (wurtzite) just before the pressure of transition. At zero pressure our data agree well with recently reported experimental results.

Elastic properties of alkaline earth oxides under high pressure

In this article, we have investigated the high-pressure structural phase transition of alkaline earth oxides using the three-body potential (TBP) model. Phase transition pressures are associated with elastic constants. An effective inter-ionic interaction potential (TBP) with long-range Coulomb interactions and the Hafemeister–Flygare type short-range overlap repulsion and the vdWl interaction is developed. The present calculations have revealed reasonably good agreement with the available experimental data on structural transition (B1–B2 structure). The phase transition pressures Pt of MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO occur at 220, 45, 40, and 100?GPa, respectively. Further, the variations of the second-order elastic constants with pressure have followed a systematic trend, which are almost identical to those exhibited by the observed data measured for other semiconducting compounds with rocksalt (B1)-type crystal structure. It is found that TBP promises that we would be able to predict phase transition pressure and elastic constants for other chalcogenides as well. The results may be useful for geophysical study.     

Thermodynamic and kinetic study on interfacial reaction and diamond graphitization of Cu Fe-based diamond composite

Cu-Fe based diamond composites used for saw-blade segments are directly fabricated by vacuum and pressure- assisted sintering. The carbide forming elements Cr and Ti are added to improve interfacial bonding between diamond and the Cu-Fe matrix. The interfacial reactions between diamond/graphite and Cr or Ti, and diamond graphitization are investigated by thermodynamics/kinetics analyses and experimental methods. The results show that interfacial reactions and graphitization of diamond can automatically proceed thermodynamically. The Cr3C2 , Cr7C3 , Cr23C6 , and TiC are formed at the interfaces of composites by reactions between diamond and Cr or Ti; diamond graphitization does not occur because of the kinetic difficulty at 1093 K under the pressure of 13 MPa.
