A range of 3M™ VHB™ acrylic foam tapes and high performance adhesive transfer tapes were used to bond 1” × 1/8″ (25.4 mm × 3.175 mm) aluminum 2024 T-4 adherends in single-lap joint (SLJ) and three-point end-notched flexure (ENF) configurations. Three types of 0.045” thick double-coated acrylic foam tapes: Foam 41, 50 and 52 (firm, soft and softer), and three types of adhesive transfer tapes: Adhesives 69, 73 and 85 (0.005”, 0.01” and 0.005” thick, respectively) were used for this study. The samples were subjected to two types of aggressive environments simulating extreme service conditions: freeze-thaw cycling from 10°F to 50°F at 6 cycles per day (ASTM C666 Procedure A) for 21 days with samples immersed in water; heat-cool cycling (with 90% of maximum recommended temperature by the manufacturer of both acrylic foam and adhesive transfer tapes attained at 70% relative humidity) and 3 cycles per day for 21 days. Initially the impulse-frequency response vibration and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used for monitoring bond quality nondestructively and selecting the best out of 250 fabricated samples. After obtaining baseline data, the specimens were subjected to quasi-static lap-shear and dynamic impact loading to compare their lap-shear failure loads and shear energy along with the impact load and energy absorbed.

Abstract Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) have gained an increasing interest as electrochemical energy converters due to their high efficiency, fuel flexibility and ability of reversible fuel cell/electrolysis operation. During the development process as well as in quality assurance tests, the performance of single cells and cell stacks is commonly evaluated by means of current/voltage- (CV-) characteristics. Despite of the fact that the measurement of a CV-characteristic seems to be simple compared to more complex, dynamic methods as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy or current interrupt techniques, the resulting performance strongly depends on the test setup and the chosen operating conditions. In this paper, the impact of different single cell testing environments and operating conditions on the CV-characteristic of high performance cells is discussed. The influence of cell size, contacting and current collection, contact pressure, fuel flow rate and composition on the achievable cell performance is presented and limitations arising from the test bed and testing conditions will be pointed out. As today’s high performance cells are capable of delivering current densities of several ampere per cm2 a special emphasis will be laid on single cell testing in this current range.

Roof Support

The main purpose of the powered roof support is to protect headings from the impact of the rock mass. The result of such impact is static and dynamic load impacting the support section, which is carried by its construction. The basic elements of the construction of the support are hydraulic legs, whose task is to ensure adequate strength of its setting. Particularly in the case of dynamic impact of the rock mass, these legs are exposed to a very unfavourable load condition. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct tests to determine the parameters of operation for this type of loads. The paper presents the results of tests on the hydraulic leg subjected to impact load with free falling impact mass. The purpose of the research was to determine the parameters of the leg's operation, i.e. the time periods of pressure in the space under the piston and other elements of the hydraulic system. The tests were conducted in compliance with designed methodology and included innovative registration system. The obtained results clearly indicate the correctness of the adopted assumptions. According to the authors, the results should be applied during selection and operation of a powered roof support.

Dynamic Impact Loading

The dynamic hazards in the open face area caused by the impact load of the massive strong roof become increasingly severe with the increase in the cutting height of the longwall face and its depth of cover. Understanding the strata-shield interaction under the dynamic impact loading condition may relieve the dynamic hazards. In this paper, a 3D physical modelling platform is developed to study the interaction between the roof strata and the longwall shield under the dynamic impact load conditions. A steel plate is dropped to the coal face wall at a certain height above the immediate roof to simulate the free fall of the main roof and the dynamic impact loading environment. The occurrence of major roof falls is modelled at different height above the model and at different positions relative to the longwall faceline. The large-cutting-height and top-coal-caving mining methods are modelled in the study to include the nature of the immediate roof. The results show that the level of face and roof failures depends on the magnitude of the dynamic impact load. The position and height of the roof fall have an important influence to the stability of the roof and face. The pressures on the shield and the solid coal face are relieved for the top-coal-caving face as compared to the large-cutting-height face.

The Impact

The widespread faults that occur in railway wheels and can cause a massive dynamic impact are the wheel tread flat. The current work considered changes in vehicle speed or wheel radius deviation and studied the dynamic impact load. The modal technique for the impact evaluation induced by the wheel flat was proposed via the finite element analysis (FEA) software package ANSYS, integrated into a multibody dynamics model of the high-speed train CRH2A (EMU) through SIMPACK. The irregularity track line has developed and depends on the selected simulation data points. Additionally, a statistical approach is designed to analyze the dynamic impact load response and effect and consider different wheel flat lengths and vehicle speeds. The train speed influence on the flat size of the vertical wheel-rail impact response and the statistical approach are discussed based on flexible, rigid wheelsets. The results show that the rigid wheel flat has the highest vertical wheel impact load and is more significant than the flexible wheel flat force. The consequences suggest that the wheelset flexibility can significantly improve vertical acceleration comparably to the rigid wheel flats. In addition, the rendering of the statistical approach shows that the hazard rate, PDF, and CDF influence increase when the flat wheel length increases.

Coated components used in industry are often exposed to repetitive dynamic impact load. The dynamic impact test is a suitable method for the study of thin protective coatings under such conditions. Aim of this paper is to describe the method of dynamic impact testing and the novel concepts of evaluation of the impact test results, such as the impact resistance and the impact deformation rate. All of the presented results were obtained by testing two W-B-C coatings with different C/W ratio. Different impact test results are discussed with respect to the coatings microstructure, the chemical and phase composition, and the mechanical properties. It is shown that coating adhesion to the HSS substrate played a crucial role in the coatings’ impact lifetime.

As the unsprung components of vehicle, lightweight wheel plays a significance role for handling stability and riding comfort. Besides, the energy saving effect of lightweight design for wheel is 1.2 to 1.3 times as much as that of components without rotating. Therefore, the lightweight design of wheel is an inevitable development tendency in future. For the wheel composed by long-fiber reinforced composites through injection process, the difference of fiber distribution and orientation at various positions leads to anisotropy on the macro performance. This paper explores a new type of high-performance thermoplastic composites (LGFTs) material reinforced by long glass fiber for lightweight wheel design. The dynamic impact simulations on the LGFT wheel with isotropic properties and anisotropic properties are conducted according to the ISO procedure, using the software Moldflow, Digimat, and Abaqus. The comparison of the simulation results demonstrates that the anisotropic properties of material have a significant effect on the impact characteristics of the wheel. The research in this paper is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the impact simulation on LGFT wheel, and also provides foundation for further lightweight design of the wheel.

This study is intended to investigate failure mechanism of plain concrete and reinforced concrete slabs subjected to a medium-velocity impact by conducting impact tests. In a series of tests, a steel projectile with a mass of 8.3kg collided a concrete slab with a thickness of 18cm. In order to examine impact response of the concrete specimen, impact load and reaction force were measured. Test results revealed that the impact velocity corresponding to the scabbing limit was about 40m/s and the failure mode of the concrete specimen subjected to the medium-velocity was similar to the punching shear failure.

A low-velocity impact characterisation of a sustainable sandwich panel based on upcycled bottle caps as circular honeycomb is conducted. The recycled core aims to develop an alternative route of reusing waste bottle caps disposed in landfills. Ecological alternatives to skin (recycled PET foil) and adhesive (bio-polyurethane) are also compared with classic components (aluminium skin and epoxy polymer). A low-cost reinforcement (cement particles) is also proposed to enhance the mechanical strength of the panel. The samples are tested at several levels of impact energy, according to the type of skin, to observe their effect on mechanical behaviour. Metal skins achieve higher impact loads and energy absorption compared to PET foil. The bio-adhesive leads to a similar or enhanced maximum impact load and energy absorption compared to the epoxy adhesive. Specific properties highlight the promising performance of the bio-based adhesive with aluminium skins, reaching increments of up to 378%. The cement increases the maximum load and reduces the duration of the impact event, leading to lower energy absorption. The unreinforced epoxy polymer shows a visible adhesive peeling off from aluminium skin, while particle inclusions lead to reduced overall delamination. Biopolymer exhibits marginal adhesive debonding and stable deformation, revealing a progressive failure. In general, PET samples show core shear failure due to rupture of the skin. Crack propagation in PET samples made with biopolymer adhesive is reduced at lower energy levels. The results evidence the promising application of bottle caps in a more sustainable honeycomb core to build eco-friendly structures.

Carbon Nanocomposite

The impact of heat treatment temperature on the electrochemical performance of Fe3O4-activated carbon nanocomposite electrodes was investigated using constant current charge-discharge and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). An improved capacitive behaviour was observed due to the effect of enhanced ionic and electronic conductivities of the 4 wt% Fe3O4/AC by thermally heating at 200 °C for 6 hours. It was found that the internal resistance of 4 wt% Fe3O4/AC composite electrode calcined at 200 °C for 6 hours is the smallest (2.97 Ω) in comparison to those untreated (4.36 Ω) composite electrodes. The ion mobility inside the porous composite electrodes is favourable at 200 °C, accompanying with the enhanced electronic conductivity of oxide electrode as a result of improved crystallinity. The EIS results and analysis not only have significant impact on the fundamental understanding of the temperature-dependent structural and electrochemical properties of electrode but also provide the insights on the diffusion mechanism of the nanocomposite in neutral Na2SO3electrolyte.
