FIBRE REINFORCED COMPOSITES BASED ON NOVEL BLEND MATRICES

A series of glass fibre reinforced composites based on novel blend matrices were fabricated us-ing reaction injection moulding (RIM) processing.The blends were made of sub-sequentialinterpenetrating polymer networks of acrylic-polyurea or acrylic-copoly(urea-isocyanurate).Themechanical and thermal properties were characterized by tensile test and dynamic mechanical ana-lysis.The fracture data from single edge notch bend tests were analysed using fracture mechanicsfor the composites to give K_(IC) and G_(IC).The correlation between reaction kinetics and morphologyof the blend and the composite properties were discussed.The investigations showed that the novelblends have good bonding property on glass fibre,thus good processability in RIM,and the re-suited composites have good mechanical and thermal properties.     

Atomistic Simulations of Integranular Fracture in Symmetric-Tilt Grain Boundaries

Fracture experiments on symmetric-tilt grain boundaries in Cu are interpreted using the Peierls-Nabarro continuum model of dislocation nucleation as a starting point. Good agreement is found only when the continuum model is modified according to the results of atomistic simulations. The same experiments are also reproduced by direct Molecular Dynamics simulations of fracture propagation and dislocation emission from a microcrack placed in the interface plane of the symmetric-tilt (221)(221) grain boundary in fcc Cu. Direction-dependent fracture response is observed, namely the microcrack advancing by brittle fracture along the [11 ] direction and being blunted by dislocation emission along the opposite [ 4] direction. Moreover, the simulations allow us to establish important differences with respect to the continuum-model predictions due to the shielding of the stress field at the crack-tip and to the presence of the residual stress at the interface.     

Phase behavior,morphology, and mechanical properties of polyethylene-copolymer blends

Binary blends of unbranched polyethylene (PE) and 5-10% model ethylene-butene random copolymers are used to determine the effects of composition heterogeneity on phase separation in the melt, semicrystalline morphology, plane strain fracture toughness J_C and tensile modulus and yield strength. Slowly cooled samples of melt-miscible blends are appreciably tougher (J_C = 5.2 kJ/m²) than unblended PE (J_C = 2.7 kJ/m²). A blend with the same average short chain branch concentration, but which is phase separated in the melt state, has J_C= 3.3 kJ/m²; dispersed domains of amorphous polymer have little effect on toughness. Enhanced toughness is associated with nonuniform morphology formed on slow cooling “one phase” melts composed of chains with different amounts of branching. The relative number of chemically different chains, as opposed to absolute branch concentrations, seems most important. Tensile properties are relatively unaffected by blending at these levels. Results from these model blends are used to consider the properties of compositionally heterogeneous ethylene copolymers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effective stress law for anisotropic double porous media

An effective stress law is derived analytically to describe the effect of pore (fracture pore and matrix-block pore) fluid pressure on the linearly elastic response of anisotropic saturated dual-porous rocks, which exhibit anisotropy. For general anisotropy the difference between the effective stress and the applied stress is not hydrostatic simply multiplied by Biot coefficient. The effective stress law involves four constants for transversely isotropic response;these constants can be expressed in terms of the moduli of the single porous material, double porous material and of the solid material. These expressions are simplified considerably when the anisotropy is structural rather than intrinsic, i.e. in the case of an isotropic solid material with an anisotropic pore structure. In this case the effective stress law involves grain bulk modulus, four moduli and two compliances of the porous material for transverse isotropy. The law reduces, in the case of isotropic response, to that suggested by Li Shuiquan (2001). And reduction to the single-porosity (derived analytically by Carroll (1979)) is presented to demonstrate the conceptual consistency of the proposed law.

采用金相组织观察、拉伸实验、Kahn撕裂试验、扫描电镜、透射电镜等方法研究固溶处理对7A55铝合金断裂韧性的影响。研究结果表明:固溶温度对7A55铝合金断裂韧性影响显著,7A55铝合金在450～490℃时固溶,随着温度上升,可溶性粒子减少,断裂韧性增加,到480℃时断裂韧性达到最大值;当温度超过480℃时,由于晶粒的长大,断裂韧性又开始下降;7A55铝合金有很大的淬火敏感性,当以慢速淬火时,晶界非共格析出物尺寸粗大,对断裂韧性不利。
