CO2 capture and geological sequestration is one of the most practical and efficient methods of mitigating anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Due to the uncertainties associated with CO2 injection into deep saline reservoirs, the interaction between the host rock and the injected CO2 needs to be better understood as it can lead to considerable pore-structure changes. The geochemical reactions, especially mineral dissolution, can compromise the mechanical properties of the reservoir rock, which consequently threatens the reservoir stability and integrity. Therefore, it is crucial to capture the variation of mechanical properties of the reservoir rock upon CO2 injection. In this study the variation of elastic properties (e.g. Young’s modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson’s ratio) of a brine-saturated sandstone specimen upon injecting CO2-enriched brine is investigated. The elastic properties of the specimen were initially characterized through multi-stage elastic (MSE) test before injecting the CO2-enriched brine. Then, the synthetic brine solution was enriched with CO2 and injected into the brine saturated sandstone specimen. The mechanical test results revealed that a significant mechanical weakening occurred upon injecting CO2-enriched brine into the sandstone specimen. This mechanical degradation can be attributed to the dissolution of calcite and clay minerals. The results from this study indicated that the mechanical deterioration of reservoir rock during CO2 injection should be considered through the entire CO2 sequestration process (i.e. site selection, injection operation, and post-injection monitoring).

The elastic properties of nickel beryllide have been evaluated from room temperature to 1000 °C. The room temperature modulus is measured to be 186 GPa, which is relatively low by comparison with other B2 aluminides such as NiAl and CoAl. Hardness measurements were carried out on specimens that had compositions over the range from 49 to 54 at. % Be, using both a Vickers microhardness tester and a nanoindentor. It was found that the hardness of NiBe exhibits a minimum at the equiatomic composition. This behavior is similar to that of aluminides of the same crystal structure, e.g., NiAl and CoAl. The effect of interstitial oxygen on the hardness of NiBe has also been studied and the results show that the presence of oxygen in NiBe can cause a significant increase in hardness. It is demonstrated that the hardness increase for the off-stoichiometric compositions is primarily caused by interstitial oxygen and can only be attributed partially to anti-site defects generated in off-stoichiometric compositions. Nickel beryllides appear to have some intrinsic room temperature ductility, as evidenced by the absence of cracking near hardness indentations.

Presented are the results of mechanical tensile tests of longitudinal (segmental) samples cut from the midsection of claddings spent as VVER-1000 FA during one- and six-year campaigns and subject to thermal tests in helium at 480 °С during 468 full days. An average burnup of these fuel rods achieved ~ 20 and ~ 70 (MW·day)/kg U, respectively. The tests followed the examinations for cladding mechanical properties performed using the tests results for ring samples cut from the specified fuel rods. These fuel rods were tested in the experiments to determine impact of long-term thermal tests that model dry storage conditions on mechanical properties of Zr E110 claddings. Based on mechanical tests results at room temperature and at 380 °С there was determined as follows: ultimate strength sв, yield strength s0,2 and total relative elongation d0 of claddings length-wise on the fuel rod segments at the fuel column midsection. The obtained characteristics were compared to corresponding values for initial (unirradiated) cladding tubes and mechanical test results of the ring samples in the transverse direction. Long-term thermal tests have led to partial return to initial (before operation) values sв, s0,2 and d0 of radiation-hardened claddings; this return was more prominent in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse one. A radiation hardening decrease was accompanied with an increase in total relative elongation values in both cladding directions. Anisotropy of yield strength has changed as well. These changes can be explained by partial annealing of radiation defects, which are obstacles to dislocation movements during cladding strain. The morphology of above radiation defects is different in various sliding planes in texturized grains of cladding material.

Kaolin Deposit

Various aluminosilicate material have been used as precursor for geopolymer. Geopolymer gets its strength from the polycondensation of silicate and alumina. Metakaolin, calcinated kaolin, is pozzolan with the highest alumina and silicate purity. Indonesia, especially Bangka Island, has a large amount of kaolin deposit that being sold at low price. This price could be increased ten times when being sold as metakaolin. This study aimed to compare mechanical and metallurgical properties of commercial metakaolin and Bangka kaolin which calcinated at 700°C. Both metakaolins reacted with NaOH and waterglass as the activator followed by curing at room temperature for 7, 14 and 28 days and elevated temperature of 60°C for 4, 12 and 24 hours. Mechanical properties will be examined by compressive strength and flexural strength test, while the metallurgical properties will be evaluated with SEM, and TAM. The results of the mechanical test will be used to determine which geopolymer will perform well with the microstructure and thermal activity to support the finding. These attempts will be done in order to improve the properties of Bangka metakaolin geopolymer superior to commercial metakaolin.

Purpose Recent advancements of 3D printing technology have brought forward the interest for this technique in many engineering fields. This study aims to focus on mechanical properties of the polylactic acid (PLA) feeding material under different thermal conditions for a typical fusion deposition of 3D printer system. Design/methodology/approach Specimens were tested under static loading within the range 20ºC to 60ºC considering different infill orientations. The combined effect of temperature and filament orientation is investigated in terms of constitutive material parameters and final failure mechanisms. The difference between feeding system before and post-3D printing was also assessed by mechanical test on feeding filament to verify the thermal profile during the deposition phase. Findings The results in terms of Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), strain at failure (εf) and stress at failure (σf) are presented and discussed to study the influence of process settings over the final deposited material. Fracture surfaces have been investigated using an optical microscope to link the phenomenological interpretation of the failure with the micro-mechanical behaviour. Experimental results show a strong correlation between stiffness and strength with the infill orientation and the temperature values. Moreover, a relevant effect is related to deformed geometry of the filament approaching glass transition region of the polymer according to the deposition orientation. Research limitations/implications The developed method can be applied to optimise the stiffness and strength of any 3D-printed composite according to the infill orientation. Practical implications To avoid the failure of specimens outside the gauge length, a previously proposed modification to the geometry was adopted. The geometry has a parabolic profile with a curvature of 1,000 mm tangent to the middle part of the specimen. Originality/value Several authors have reported the stiffness and strength of 3D-printed parts under static and ambient temperature for different build parameters. However, there is a lack of literature on the combination of the latter with the temperature effects on the mechanical properties which this paper covers.

Basement membranes from renal tubules, capillaries, venules, and pulmonary alveolar wall all have remarkably similar elastic properties and Young's moduli. Strength and safety margin, however, are far smaller in the alveolar wall, perhaps as a result of its complexity of design.
