Shape memory alloys are well known to be used as a ring element for connect coupling two pipes in various fields. In the case of structural and functional designs for a coupling ring of shape memory alloy, we have considered the shape memory effects in multi-axial stress and strain using volumetric strain in each element, so as to make FEM analysis more effective for optimizing the shape and the amount of pre-deformation. Using some uni-axial fundamental test results, as property parameters for FEM, the modeling method simulating the deformation behavior of a coupling ring has been eveloped in order to optimize the configuration and size of a coupling ring. The validity of this FEM modeling method was confirmed by verification experiments.

AbstractFour-dimensional (4D) printing of shape memory polymer (SMP) imparts time responsive properties to 3D structures. Here, we explore 4D printing of a SMP in the submicron length scale, extending its applications to nanophononics. We report a new SMP photoresist based on Vero Clear achieving print features at a resolution of ~300 nm half pitch using two-photon polymerization lithography (TPL). Prints consisting of grids with size-tunable multi-colours enabled the study of shape memory effects to achieve large visual shifts through nanoscale structure deformation. As the nanostructures are flattened, the colours and printed information become invisible. Remarkably, the shape memory effect recovers the original surface morphology of the nanostructures along with its structural colour within seconds of heating above its glass transition temperature. The high-resolution printing and excellent reversibility in both microtopography and optical properties promises a platform for temperature-sensitive labels, information hiding for anti-counterfeiting, and tunable photonic devices.

An analysis of the shape memory effect of a NiTi alloy by using the spark plasma sintering approach has been carried out. Spark plasma sintering of Ti50Ni50 powder (20–63 µm) at a temperature of 900 °C produced specimens showing good shape memory effects. However, the sample showed 2.5% porosity due to a load of 48 MPa. Furthermore, an apparent shape memory effect was recorded and the specimens were characterized by uniformity in chemical composition and shape memory alloys of NiTi showed significant austenite phases with a bending strain recovery of >2.5%.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of water injection into intake port on the performance of small CI engine. The ECFM-3Z model was applied for the combustion analysis model, and the amount of injected water were varied 10%, 20% and 30% of injected fuel mass. The results of this work were compared in terms of cylinder pressure, rate of heat release (ROHR), and the ISNO and soot emissions. It was found that the cylinder pressure was decreased from 1.2% to 9.2% when the amount of injected water was increased from 10% to 30%. In the results, NO emission significantly decreased from about 24% to about 85% when the amount of injected water increased due to the specific heat and latent heat of water. Considering the test results, the best conditions for the simultaneous reduction of NO and soot is the BTDC 05deg of injection timing and 30% of water injection mass. It can be expected the best IMEP and ISFC characteristics.

In this study, FE modeling method for the buckling/ultimate strength analysis of a continuous stiffened panel under combined shear and thrust is proposed. In order to validate the proposed method, shear buckling collapse tests of a stiffened panel and FEM analysis are carried out. As the result of these, it is confirmed that the buckling collapse behavior and the ultimate strength estimated by the proposed method are in good agreement with the test results.

In this work, a damping material was successfully prepared by blending acrylic rubber (ACM) and polylactide (PLA) with sulfur and soap salt as the curing agents. A phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin was used as a modifier. The effects of PF on the mechanical properties, damping properties, compatibility and shape memory properties of the blends were studied. The compatibility and damping properties were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope and microstructure analysis. The shape memory properties were examined by thermal mechanical analyser. The results revealed that the tensile strength of the blends was decreased and the toughness was increased with the increase of PF loadings. The introduction of PF improved the compatibility between PLA and ACM, which was deduced from the fact that the glass transition temperature of ACM was increased and the two loss factor peaks became closer. It was also found that the loss factor peak became higher and the effective damping temperature range became wider due to the formation of hydrogen bonding, implying that the damping properties of ACM/PLA blends were significantly improved. The ACM/PLA blends exhibited good dual-shape memory effect and its shape recovery ratio was increased by introduction of PF and raising the trigger temperature. The blends also exhibited good triple-shape memory property, which was dramatically improved by the introduction of PF. The mechanisms for the enhanced shape memory effects were then analysed.
