Push Out

In this study, a fiber push-out device based on a piezoelectric actuator was designed, analyzed and tested, and its experimental environment was designed. The piezoelectric actuator includes a flexible beam. By using response surface analysis (RSM), taking the large displacement as the objective function and on the premise of meeting the strength requirements, the structural parameters of the flexible beam were analyzed. In the process of fiber push-out, the interfacial shear stress was estimated by establishing the system integrating the fiber-matrix-composite three-phase model and the piezoelectric actuator model using the analytic method, and the theoretical analysis results of the fiber interface mechanical properties were given. A prototype of the system was made, and the performance tests of the piezoelectric actuator and the fiber push-out device were carried out. The test results showed that the designed piezoelectric actuator can achieve a stepping resolution of 6.67 μm and a maximum displacement of about 100 μm at the input voltage of 150 V, which is consistent with the design results. The extrusion test of a single fiber was carried out using a piezoelectric actuator. The mechanical properties of the interfacial layer during the push-out process were measured and the interfacial shear strength was calculated, which is consistent with the theoretical analysis results. Finally, based on the mechanical properties obtained from the test, the loading failure process of the fiber was simulated by finite element analysis, which well explained the failure process of the fiber, thus verifying the feasibility of the designed fiber push-out device.

Zirconium oxide doped with scandium oxide is one of the most promising materials for electrolytes of solid oxide fuel cells because of its high ionic conductivity. In this study, temperature dependence of mechanical property, especially strength, of 9 mol% scandia doped zirconia polycrystalline samples with 0 to 30 wt% of alumina additions was examined at temperatures from 293 to 1273 K. Ionic conductivity was also measured by AC impedance analysis. From both mechanical and electrical standpoints, the experimental results were discussed in terms of alumina addition.

Recently, the piezoelectric based sensor coupled with electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique is gaining attention on monitoring the mechanical properties changes in cementitious materials. However, the EMI signals obtained from the sensing system are not only influenced by the development of inherent mechanical properties in the host structure but also affected by the variation of temperature. When implementing a piezoelectric based sensor, both the ambient temperature change and the heat release from newly casted concrete would influence the sensing accuracy. In order to eliminate the biases from temperature effect, the mechanisms of EMI technique for strength sensing were investigated. The experiment work was separated in two parts. The piezoelectric sensors were first used to monitor the strength gaining of the newly casted cementitious samples curing under constant temperature. A strength estimation system was developed based on the experiment results. Later, the temperature variation was induced to affect the sensing performance. A temperature compensation technique was proposed to eliminate the temperature effect. It has concluded that the proposed compensation method can improve the strength sensing accuracy. The new understanding should help to promote the practical applicable EMI sensing technique.

An electromechanical impedance (EMI) analysis of a piezoelectric smart beam with a crack is implemented in this paper. Spectral element method (SEM) is used to analyze the EMI response of the piezoelectric smart beam. In this analysis, the spectral element stiffness matrices of different beam segments are derived in this paper. The crack is simulated using spring models, and the EMI signatures of piezoelectric smart beam with and without crack are calculated using SEM, respectively. From the analysis results, it is found that the peak position and amplitude of the EMI signatures have significant changes with the change in crack depth, especially in higher frequency ranges. Different vibration modes of the piezoelectric smart beam are analyzed, and the effect of thickness of the adhesive layer on the admittance is also researched. An experimental study is also implemented to verify the validity of the analysis results using SEM.

Alpha Beta

The mechanical properties of three titanium alloys (Ti-7Mo-3Al, Ti-7Mo- 3Cu and Ti-7Mo-3Ta) were evaluated as function of: 1) Solutionizing in the beta field and aging, 2) Thermal Mechanical Processing in the beta field and aging, 3) Solutionizing in the alpha + beta field and aging. The samples were isothermally aged in the temperature range 300° to 700*C for 4 to 24 hours, followed by a water quench. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray method were used to identify the phase formed. All three alloys solutionized at 1050°C (beta field) transformed to martensitic alpha (alpha prime) upon being water quenched. Despite this heavily strained alpha prime, which is characterized by microtwins the tensile strength of the as-quenched alloys is relatively low and the elongation is as high as 30%.

For fuel savings as well as energy and resource requirement, high strength low alloy steels (HSLA) are of particular interest to automobile industry because of the potential weight reduction which can be achieved by using thinner section of these steels to carry the same load and thus to improve the fuel mileage. Dual phase treatment has been utilized to obtain superior strength and ductility combinations compared to the HSLA of identical composition. Recently, cooling rate following heat treatment was found to be important to the tensile properties of the dual phase steels. In this paper, we report the results of the investigation of cooling rate on the microstructures and mechanical properties of several vanadium HSLA steels.The steels with composition (in weight percent) listed below were supplied by China Steel Corporation: 1. low V steel (0.11C, 0.65Si, 1.63Mn, 0.015P, 0.008S, 0.084Aℓ, 0.004V), 2. 0.059V steel (0.13C, 0.62S1, 1.59Mn, 0.012P, 0.008S, 0.065Aℓ, 0.059V), 3. 0.10V steel (0.11C, 0.58Si, 1.58Mn, 0.017P, 0.008S, 0.068Aℓ, 0.10V).

Refractory Ceramics

Grain boundaries have long held a special significance to ceramicists. In part, this has been because it has been impossible until now to actually observe the boundaries themselves. Just as important, however, is the fact that the grain boundaries and their environs have a determing influence on both the mechanisms by which powder compaction occurs during fabrication, and on the overall mechanical properties of the material. One area where the grain boundary plays a particularly important role is in the high temperature strength of hot-pressed ceramics. This is a subject of current interest as extensive efforts are being made to develop ceramics, such as silicon nitride alloys, for high temperature structural applications. In this presentation we describe how the techniques of lattice fringe imaging have made it possible to study the grain boundaries in a number of refractory ceramics, and illustrate some of the findings.

Better Than

The aromatic polyamides form a class of fibers having mechanical properties which are much better than those of aliphatic polyamides. Currently, the accepted morphology of these fibers as proposed by M.G. Dobb, et al. is a radial arrangement of pleated sheets, with the plane of the pleats parallel to the axis of the fiber. We have recently obtained evidence which supports a different morphology of this type of fiber, using ultramicrotomy and ion-thinning techniques to prepare specimens for transmission and scanning electron microscopy.
