Hygrothermal Behaviour

Abstract External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are widely used in the northern hemisphere in retrofitted and new external walls. The outer layer of ETICS is usually a thin layer of plaster. The effects of temperature and humidity on the hygrothermal behaviour and mechanical properties of thin plasters have been quantified by conducting several experiments to determine the possibility of crack formation. Combinations of plasters using four types of binders are tested: mineral, polymer, silicate and silicone. Plasters are tested as four systems consisting of a base coat, a glass-fibre reinforcement mesh and a finishing coat. Sorption curves of the plaster systems are determined to gather data for numerical simulations. The coefficients of thermal and hygroscopic expansion are determined. The modulus of elasticity and tensile strength of four different plasters are measured to allow the calculation of crack formation in ETICS and suggest the distances between the deformation joints. The method demonstrated in this paper makes it possible to calculate the crack formation caused by the temperature and moisture shrinkage in the thin exterior plaster of ETICS.

AbstractThis investigation is carried out to understand the effects of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hybrid phenol formaldehyde (PF) composite fabricated with Areca Fine Fibres (AFFs) and Calotropis Gigantea Fibre (CGF). Hybrid CGF/AFF/PF composites were manufactured using the hand layup technique at varying weight percentages of fibre reinforcement (25, 35 and 45%). Hybrid composite having 35 wt.% showed better mechanical properties (tensile strength ca. 59 MPa, flexural strength ca. 73 MPa and impact strength 1.43 kJ/m2) under wet and dry conditions as compared to the other hybrid composites. In general, the inclusion of the fibres enhanced the mechanical properties of neat PF. Increase in the fibre content increased the water absorption, however, after 120 h of immersion, all the composites attained an equilibrium state.

Fibre Reinforced Polymer

Polymer composites have outstanding qualities such as high strength, flexibility, stiffness, and lightweight. Currently, research is being performed to develop innovative polymer composites that may be used in many operational situations and contain a variety of fibre and filler combinations. Banana fibre has low density compared to glass fibre and it is a lingo-cellulosic fibre having relatively good mechanical properties compared to glass fibre. Because of their outstanding qualities, banana fibre reinforced polymer composites are now widely used in various industries. The primary goal of this study is to determine the effect of the wt.% of banana fibre, the wt.% of SiC, and the wt.% of Al2O3 in banana fibre reinforcement composites on the mechanical and physical properties of banana fibre reinforcement composites. Tensile strength and flexural strength of unfilled banana fibre epoxy composite increased with the increase in wt. of banana fibre from 0 wt.% to 12 wt.%. Further, an increase in wt.% banana fibre drop in mechanical property was observed. It has been concluded from the study that the variation in percentage weight of filler material with fixed amount (12 wt.%) of banana fibre affects the mechanical properties of filled banana reinforcement composites. Optimum mechanical properties were obtained for BHEC5 (72 wt.% Epoxy + Hardener, 12 wt.% banana fibre and 16 wt.% Al2O3).

In order to study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of H90 copper strip material, the H90 copper strip test pieces were heated to different temperatures (20~600 °C) for tensile test; the yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus and elongation of H90 copper strip at different temperatures were obtained. Based on the test results, the empirical models of yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus of H90 copper strip at high temperature were established; the test showed that, with the increase of temperature, the yield strength, tensile strength and elastic modulus of H90 copper strip decreased greatly, and the elongation after fracture first increased-decreased-increased at 20~600 °C. The study results in this paper provide basic material data for analyzing the effect of temperature on the continuous firing of firearms and other weapons.

As composite, the mechanical properties of coated fabrics are sensitive to environment. This paper presented mechanical properties under different environments. A list of uniaxial tests are carried out under different temperatures including -20°C, 0°C, 23°C, 50°C, and 70°C. First, the tensile behaviors at room temperature and the failure behaviors are studied. Then, the effects of temperature on mechanical properties are determined. Finally, the effects of water immersion on mechanical properties are discussed. Results show PTFE coated fabrics remained unchanged in varying temperature and humidity. The temperature has effects on the mechanical properties of PVC coated fabrics. With increasing temperature, the strength decrease and the strain at break increase. The temperature induction factors are proposed for the design and analysis. The water immersion has little effect on the mechanical properties because of the impervious coating.

Fibre Orientation Distribution

The fibre orientation and distribution in short glass fibre (SGF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were measured and an orientation function ( f) was introduced to describe the fibre orientation distribution. The fibre orientation distribution in the same level plane depended on the fibre position in an injection-moulded plate. The fibres close to the boundary wall of the injection cavity were parallel to the injection direction and those close to the back wall were perpendicular to the injection direction. A commercial maleic anhydride grafted PP (MAPP) was used as a compatibilizer. With the addition of MAPP, the fibre orientation distribution in PP/SGF/MAPP composites was slightly different from that of PP/SGF, but MAPP improved the interfacial adhesion between SGF and PP and consequently the mechanical properties. The use of SGF increased the tensile strength of the PP composites from 26.5 to 45.9 MPa (73% improvement), and for the PP/MAPP/SGF composite the tensile strength increased further to 55.4 MPa. The effect of SGF on the tensile strength can be expressed by a fibre efficiency factor (λσ). The SGF efficiency factor of PP/MAPP/SGF (0.198) was 45% higher than that of PP/SGF (0.137). The impact strength of PP/MAPP/SGF (64.7 MPa) was not only higher than that of PP/SGF (40.8 MPa) by 59% but also higher than that of PP (48.3 MPa) by 34%.

In this study different materials made out of cut-off as well as reclained carbon fibres (rCF) are described and compared. For this benchmark nonwovens, compounds, SMC, BMC, as well as standard lightweight materials like high alloy steels, aluminium and magnesium are taken into account. Specific mechanical properties like modulus and tensile strength are used to show the lightweight potential of recycled carbon fibre materials in ashby charts. It is shown that rCF products can substitute glass fibre applications and are also comparable to metals and alloys.

Salt Mining

Abstract Underground salt mining accounts for about 16 percent of the total salt production worldwide. When excavating salt rock, the cutters of the road header come into contact with the rock. This produces friction and, consequently, a rise in temperature. Generally, as temperature increases, salt gradually loses its plasticity. The extent of these alterations depends on the presence of other minerals in the rock. This paper presents the results of laboratory tests on regularly shaped samples of salt. An analysis was performed of the results of compressive, tensile and induced-shear strength, and of Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, cuttability index and side chipping angle. The testing was conducted on samples with a temperature of about 20°C and samples heated to 50°C and 80°C. The tests showed that as temperature increased, so did compressive and tensile strength, and longitudinal and transverse strain of salt. The temperature increase caused, however, a decrease in shear strength. The cuttability index and the side chipping angle also decreased when the heated samples were being cut. The percentage changes in the parameters within the 60-degree temperature range were as high as several dozen percent.
