AbstractA simple model, based on physical microstructure, that predicts the anisotropic transport properties of cloth lay-up composites is discussed. This anisotropic material is modeled as a layer structure consisting of two, or more, isotropic components. Composite transport coefficients perpendicular and parallel to the layers are given by “series” and “parallel” combining laws involving the isotropic coefficients of these component materials and their volume fractions. These component material properties are determined using microstructural information and fundamental material properties. Model calculations are compared to experimental measurements for gas permeability.

A model-based interpretation of measured equilibrium conductivity and conductivity relaxation is developed to establish thermodynamic, transport, and kinetics parameters for multiple charged defect conducting (MCDC) ceramic materials. The present study focuses on 10% yttrium-doped barium zirconate (BZY10). In principle, using the Nernst–Einstein relationship, equilibrium conductivity measurements are sufficient to establish thermodynamic and transport properties. However, in practice it is difficult to establish unique sets of properties using equilibrium conductivity alone. Combining equilibrium and conductivity-relaxation measurements serves to significantly improve the quantitative fidelity of the derived material properties. The models are developed using a Nernst–Planck–Poisson (NPP) formulation, which enables the quantitative representation of conductivity relaxations caused by very large changes in oxygen partial pressure.

Young's modulus of heavily deformed two-phase composites shows an unusually high increase after plastic deformation. It is assumed that this is due to two reasons, i.e. texture changes and changes of the moduli of the constitutive phases on the basis of non-linear elasticity theory and internal stresses of opposite sign in the phases. Expressions of the two contributions are given on the basis of simple model assumptions. It is estimated that the changes of shape and arrangement of the phases and shape and arrangement of the crystallites in the phases are only of minor importance.

Abstract A hybrid experimental-numerical approach is proposed for accurate dimensionless characterization of rubber finite compressibility. Rubber specimens in the form of bonded rubber disks are considered as elastomeric structures with unknown material properties. These properties are calculated by matching results of FEA with experimental measurements of radial deformations of the axially-loaded disks. The approach may be used for reliable characterization of Poisson's ratio, bulk modulus, or other characteristics of interest. Implementation of the approach is considered for two representative elastomeric compounds with different levels of carbon black. Good experimental verification of the approach is shown at different levels of loading. Moreover, the same parameters of finite compressibility are independently obtained using both compressive and tensile loads. Higher compressibility is observed for a compound with larger content of carbon black as expected.
