The material has low porosity (9.8%) and is less absorbent (12.61%) than wood. The result of the thermal conductivity test by the hot plane method shows that this composite can contribute to the internal thermal insulation (an example of thermal conductivity is 0.32W/m.K) of floating boats. The mechanical tests of compression (young modulus is 22.86 GPa), resilience (1.238 J/Cm2) and hardness (233.04 BH30-2.5/187.5-15s) show that this composite is much harder and more absorbent than many wood and bio-composite materials used in the construction of pleasure boats. The abrasion test (0.005349) shows that this composite could well resist friction with the beach.展开更多

For this purpose, it was necessary to evaluate the stress state in each component of the bolted join. The multi-material assembly was based on the principle of double lap bolted joint. It was composed of a symmetrical balanced woven glass-epoxy composite material plate fastened to two stainless sheets using a stainless pre-stressed bolt. In order to optimize the design and the geometry of the assembly, ten configurations were proposed and studied: a classical simple bolted joint, two joints with an insert (a BigHead<sup>R</sup> insert and a stair one) embedded in the composite, two “waved” solutions, three symmetrical configurations composed of a succession of metallic and composites layers, without a sleeve, with one and with two sleeves, and two non-symmetrical constituted of metallic and composites layers associated with a stair-insert (one with a sleeve and one without). A tridimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to model each configuration mentioned above. The FE models taked into account the different materials, the effects of contact between the different sheets of the assembly and the pre-stress in the bolt. The stress state was analyzed in the composite part. The concept of stress concentration factor was used in order to evaluate the stress increase in the highly stressed regions and to compare the ten configurations studied. For this purpose, three stress concentration factors were defined: one for a monotonic loading in tension, another for a monotonic loading in compression, and the third for a tension-compression cyclic loading. The results of the FEM computations showed that the use of alternative metallic and composite layers associated with two sleeves gived low values of stress concentration factors, smaller than 1.4. In this case, there was no contact between the bolt and the composite part and the most stressed region was not the vicinity of the hole but the end of the longest layers of the metallic inserts.展开更多

文摘Continuous carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide(C/SiC)composites are often subjected to low-velocity impacts when utilized as structural materials for thermal protection.However,research on in-plane impact damage and multiple impact damage of C/SiC composites is limited.To investigate the in-plane impact damage behavior of C/SiC composites,a drop-weight impact test method was developed for strip samples,and these results were subsequently compared with those of C/SiC composite plates.Results show that the in-plane impact behavior of C/SiC strip samples is similar to that of C/SiC composite plates.Variation of the impact load with displacement is characterized by three stages:a nearly linear stage,a severe load drop stage,and a rebound stage where displacement occurs after the impact energy exceeds its peak value.Impact damage behavior under single and multiple impacts on 2D plain and 3D needled C/SiC composites was investigated at different impact energies and durations.Crack propagation in C/SiC composites was studied by computerized tomography(CT)technique.In the 2D plain C/SiC composite,load propagation between layers is hindered during impact,leading to delamination and 90°fiber brittle fracture.The crack length perpendicular to the impact direction increases with impact energy increases,resulting in more serious 0°fiber fracture and a larger area of fiber loss.In the 3D needled C/SiC composite,load propagates between the layers during impact through the connection of needled fibers.The fibers continue to provide substantial structural support,with notable instances of fiber pull-off and debonding.Consequently,the impact resistance is superior to that of 2D plain C/SiC composite.When the 3D needled C/SiC composite undergoes two successive impacts of 1.5 J,the energy absorption efficiency of the second impact is significantly lower,accompanied by a smaller impact displacement.Moreover,the total energy absorption efficiency of these two impacts of 1.5 J is lower than that of a single 3.0 J impact.
文摘The mechanical, physical and thermal characterization of a composite made from woven raffia fiber vinifiera molded in epoxy resin intended for shipbuilding shows that the density (0.5 g/cm3 with a relative error of 0.05 g/cm3) of the composite produced is lower than that of wood used in this field. The material has low porosity (9.8%) and is less absorbent (12.61%) than wood. The result of the thermal conductivity test by the hot plane method shows that this composite can contribute to the internal thermal insulation (an example of thermal conductivity is 0.32W/m.K) of floating boats. The mechanical tests of compression (young modulus is 22.86 GPa), resilience (1.238 J/Cm2) and hardness (233.04 BH30-2.5/187.5-15s) show that this composite is much harder and more absorbent than many wood and bio-composite materials used in the construction of pleasure boats. The abrasion test (0.005349) shows that this composite could well resist friction with the beach.
文摘BACKGROUND Due to saliva and salivary glands are reservoir to severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),aerosols and saliva droplets are primary sources of cross-infection and are responsible for the high human–human transmission of SARS-CoV-2.However,there is no evidence about how SARSCoV-2 interacts with oral structures,particularly resin composites.AIM To evaluate the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 proteins with monomers present in resin composites using in silico analysis.METHODS Four SARS-CoV-2 proteins[i.e.main protease,3C-like protease,papain-like protease(PLpro),and glycoprotein spike]were selected along with salivary amylase as the positive control,and their binding affinity with bisphenol-A glycol dimethacrylate,bisphenol-A ethoxylated dimethacrylate,triethylene glycol dimethacrylate,and urethane dimethacrylate was evaluated.Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock Vina and visualised in Chimera UCSF 1.14.The best ligand–protein model was identified based on the binding energy(ΔG–kcal/moL).RESULTS Values for the binding energies ranged from-3.6 kcal/moL to-7.3 kcal/moL.The 3-monomer chain had the lowest binding energy(i.e.highest affinity)to PLpro and the glycoprotein spike.Non-polymerised monomers and polymerised chains interacted with SARS-CoV-2 proteins via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.Those findings suggest an interaction between SARS-CoV-2 proteins and resin composites.CONCLUSION SARS-CoV-2 proteins show affinity to non-polymerised and polymerised resin composite chains.

文摘In this paper,a type of reinforcing structure for composite shell with single and through hole is presented.The experimental tests for the composite shells without hole,with single hole and reinforced structure,with through hole and reinforced structure subjected to hydrostatic pressure were carried out by the designed experimental test system.The mechanical responses of the composite shells under hydrostatic pressure are obtained by the high-speed camera and strain measurement.The results show that the entire deformation process of the shell can be divided into three:uniform compression,"buckling mode formation"and buckling.The"buckling mode formation"process is captured and reported for the first time.For the composite shell with single hole,the proposed reinforcing structure has a significant reinforcement effect on the shell and the buckling capacity of the shell is not weaker than the complete composite shell.For the composite shell with through hole,sealing effect can be achieved by the proposed reinforcing structure,but the buckling capacity of the shell after reinforcement can only reach 77%of the original buckling capacity.

文摘The use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)composite in the design of lightweight protective equipment,has gained a lot of interest.However,there is an urgent need to understand the ballistic response mechanism and theoretical prediction model of performance.This paper explores the ballistic response mechanism of UHMWPE composite through experimental and simulation analyses.Then,a resistance-driven modeling method was proposed to establish a theoretical model for predicting the bulletproof performance.The ballistic response mechanism of UHMWPE composite encompassed three fundamental modes:local response,structural response,and coupled response.The occurrence ratio of these fundamental response modes during impact was dependent on the projectile velocity and laminate thickness.The bulletproof performance of laminate under different response modes was assessed based on the penetration depth of the projectile,the bulging height on the rear face of the laminate,the thickness of remaining sub-laminate,and residual velocity of the projectile.The absolute deviations of bulletproof performance indicator between theoretical value and experimental value were well within 11.13%,demonstrating that the established evaluation model possessed high degree of prediction accuracy.

文摘B2-CuZr phase reinforced amorphous alloy matrix composites has become one of the research hotspots in the field of materials science due to the“transformation-induced plasticity”phenomenon,which makes the composites show better macroscopic plastic deformability and obvious work-hardening behavior compared to the conventional amorphous alloy matrix composites reinforced with ductile phases.However,the in-situ metastable B2-CuZr phase tends to undergo eutectoid decomposition during solidification,and the volume fraction,size,and distribution of B2-CuZr phase are difficult to control,which limits the development and application of these materials.To date,much efforts have been made to solve the above problems through composition optimization,casting parameter tailoring,and post-processing technique.In this study,a review was given based on relevant studies,focusing on the predictive approach,reinforcing mechanism,and microstructure tailoring methods of B2-CuZr phase reinforced amorphous alloy matrix composites.The research focus and future prospects were also given for the future development of the present composite system.
文摘Research into converting waste into viable eco-friendly products has gained global concern.Using natural fibres and pulverized metallic waste becomes necessary to reduce noxious environmental emissions due to indiscriminately occupying the land.This study reviews the literature in the broad area of green composites in search of materials that can be used in automotive brake pads.Materials made by biocomposite,rather than fossil fuels,will be favoured.A database containing the tribo-mechanical performance of numerous potential components for the future green composite was established using the technical details of bio-polymers and natural reinforcements.The development of materials with diverse compositions and varying proportions is now conceivable,and these materials can be permanently connected in fully regulated processes.This explanation demonstrates that all of these variables affect friction coefficient,resistance to wear from friction and high temperatures,and the operating life of brake pads to varying degrees.In this study,renewable materials for the matrix and reinforcement are screened to determine which have sufficient strength,coefficient of friction,wear resistance properties,and reasonable costs,making them a feasible option for a green composite.The most significant,intriguing,and unusual materials used in manufacturing brake pads are gathered in this review,which also analyzes how they affect the tribological characteristics of the pads.

文摘Bark extracts are sustainable sources of biopolymers and hold great promise for replacing fossil fuel-based polymers,for example,in wood-based composites.In addition to primary and secondary metabolites,tree bark also contains suberin,which plays a major role in protecting the tree from environmental conditions.Suberin is a natural aliphatic-aromatic cross-linked polyester present in the cell walls of both normal and damaged external tissues,the main component of which are long-chain aliphatic acids.Its main role as a plant ingredient is to protect against microbiological factors and water loss.One of the most important suberin monomers are suberin fatty acids,known for their hydrophobic and barrier properties.Therefore,due to the diverse chemical composition of suberin,it is an attractive alternative to hydrocarbon-based materials.Although its potential is recognized,it is not widely used in biocomposites technology,including wood-based composites and the polymer industry.The article will discuss the current knowledge about the potential of suberin and its components in biocomposites technology,which will include surface finishes,composite adhesives and polymer blends.

文摘A new,innovative vibration cast-rolling technology of “electromagnetic stirring+dendrite breaking+asynchronous rolling” was proposed with the adoption of sinusoidal vibration of crystallization roller to prepare Ti/Al laminated composites,and the effect of sinusoidal vibration of crystallization roller on composite microstructure was investigated in detail.The results show that the metallurgical bonding of titanium and aluminum is realized by mesh interweaving and mosaic meshing,instead of transition bonding by forming metal compound layer.The meshing depth between titanium and aluminum layers (6.6μm) of cast-rolling materials with strong vibration of crystallization roller (amplitude 0.87 mm,vibration frequency 25 Hz) is doubled compared with that of traditional cast-rolling materials (3.1μm),and the composite interfacial strength(27.0 N/mm) is twice as high as that of traditional cast-rolling materials (14.9 N/mm).This is because with the action of high-speed superposition of strong tension along the rolling direction,strong pressure along the width direction and rolling force,the composite linearity evolves from "straight line" with traditional casting-rolling to "curved line",and the depth and number of cracks in the interface increases greatly compared with those with traditional cast-rolling,which leads to the deep expansion of the meshing area between interfacial layers and promotes the stable enhancement of composite quality.

文摘Variable-diameter deployable carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP)composites possess deformation and load-bearing functions and are composed of stiff-flexible coupled preforms and matrix.The stiff-flexible coupled preform,serving as the reinforcing structure,directly determines the deployable properties,and its forming technology is currently a research challenge.This paper designs a braiding and needle-punching(BNP)composite preform forming technology suitable for stiff-flexible coupled preforms.Before forming,the preform is partitioned into flexible and rigid zones,with braiding and needle-punching performed layer by layer in the respective zones.A retractable rotating device is developed to form the stiff-flexible coupled preform,achieving a diameter variation rate of up to 26.6%for the BNP preform.A structural parameter model is also established to describe the geometric parameter changes in the deformation and load-bearing areas of the preform during deployment as a function of the braiding angle.Based on experiments,this paper explains the performance changes of BNP composites concerning the structural parameters of the preform.Experimental analysis shows that as the braiding angle increases,the tensile performance of BNP composites significantly decreases,with the change rate of tensile strength first decreasing and then increasing.Additionally,when the braiding angle is less than 21.89°,the impact toughness of BNP composites remains within the range of 83.66±2 kJ/m^(2).However,when the braiding angle exceeds 21.89°,the impact toughness of BNP composites gradually decreases with increasing braiding angle.Furthermore,a hybrid agent model based on Latin hypercube sampling and error back-propagation neural network is developed to predict the tensile and impact properties of BNP composites with different structural parameters,with maximum test relative errors of 1.89%for tensile strength and 2.37%for impact toughness.
文摘The aim of this study was to optimize the geometry and the design of metallic/composite single bolted joints subjected to tension-compression loading. For this purpose, it was necessary to evaluate the stress state in each component of the bolted join. The multi-material assembly was based on the principle of double lap bolted joint. It was composed of a symmetrical balanced woven glass-epoxy composite material plate fastened to two stainless sheets using a stainless pre-stressed bolt. In order to optimize the design and the geometry of the assembly, ten configurations were proposed and studied: a classical simple bolted joint, two joints with an insert (a BigHead<sup>R</sup> insert and a stair one) embedded in the composite, two “waved” solutions, three symmetrical configurations composed of a succession of metallic and composites layers, without a sleeve, with one and with two sleeves, and two non-symmetrical constituted of metallic and composites layers associated with a stair-insert (one with a sleeve and one without). A tridimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to model each configuration mentioned above. The FE models taked into account the different materials, the effects of contact between the different sheets of the assembly and the pre-stress in the bolt. The stress state was analyzed in the composite part. The concept of stress concentration factor was used in order to evaluate the stress increase in the highly stressed regions and to compare the ten configurations studied. For this purpose, three stress concentration factors were defined: one for a monotonic loading in tension, another for a monotonic loading in compression, and the third for a tension-compression cyclic loading. The results of the FEM computations showed that the use of alternative metallic and composite layers associated with two sleeves gived low values of stress concentration factors, smaller than 1.4. In this case, there was no contact between the bolt and the composite part and the most stressed region was not the vicinity of the hole but the end of the longest layers of the metallic inserts.
