Polymer-derived SiC-polycrystalline fibers show excellent heat-resistance up to 2000 °C, and relatively high strength. Up to now, through our research, the relationship between the strength and residual defects of the fiber, which were formed during the production processes (degradation and sintering), has been clarified. In this paper, we addressed the relationship between the production conditions and the surface smoothness of the obtained SiC-polycrystalline fiber, using three different raw fibers (Elementary ratio: Si1Al0.01C1.5O0.4~0.5) and three different types of reactors. With increase in the oxygen content in the raw fiber, the degradation during the production process easily proceeded. In this case, the degradation reactions (SiO + 2C = SiC + CO and SiO2 + 3C = SiC + 2CO) in the inside of each filament become faster, and then the CO partial pressure on the surface of each filament was considered to be increased. As a result, according to Le Chatelier’s principle, the surface degradation reaction and grain growth of formed SiC crystals would be considered to become slower. That is to say, using the raw fiber with higher oxygen content and closed system (highest CO content in the reactor), a much smoother surface of the SiC-polycrystalline fiber could be achieved. Furthermore, the similar effect obtained by simple oxidation of the SiC-polycrystalline fiber was confirmed, and the advantageous points of the aforementioned process were also considered.

Polymer-derived SiC-polycrystalline fiber (Tyranno SA) shows excellent heat-resistance up to 2000oC, and relatively high strength. Up to now, through our research, the relationship between the strength and residual defects of the fiber, which were formed during the production processes (degradation and sintering), has been clarified. In this paper, we addressed the relationship between the production condition and the surface roughness of the obtained SiC-polycrystalline fiber, using three different raw fibers (Elementary ratio: Si1Al0.01C1.5O0.4~0.5) and three different types of reactor (Open system, Partially-open system, and Closed system). With increase in the oxygen content in the raw fiber, the degradation during the production process easily proceeded. In this case, the degradation reactions (SiO+2C=SiC+CO and SiO2+3C=SiC+2CO) in the inside of each filament become faster, and then the CO partial pressure on the surface of each filament is considered to be increased. In consequence, according to Le Chatelier’s principle, the surface degradation reaction and grain growth of formed SiC crystals would be considered to become slower. That is to say, using the raw fiber with higher oxygen content and closed system (highest CO content in the reactor), much smoother surface of the SiC-polycrystalline fiber could be achieved.

This paper investigates the relationship between spalling behavior and weight loss for ultra-high-strength fiber-reinforced concrete (UFC) containing different types short fibers (jute, PP, WSPVA) in high-temperature environments at 400, 600 and 800 °C. The explosive spalling that occurred under these conditions caused severe damage to the control specimen but only slight damage to the specimen with jute fiber. It was therefore inferred that adding 0.19% by volume of natural jute fibers (length: 12 mm) to UFC is effective in the prevention of spalling-related damage.

The effect of phosphogypsum (PG) modified on mechanical properties of super sulphate cement (SSC) was systematically studied in this paper. Then attentions and researches were focused on the relationship between specific surface (SSA) and the mechanical properties of SSC containing PG modified by calcining, floating, neutralizing with alkali. Strengthening mechanisms of SSC were further investigated and analyzed by laser particle size analyzer and chemical composition analyzer at last. Results showed that the high strength SSC with the compressive strength 35MPa at 7 days, over 60MPa at 28 days, and some even more than 70MPa at 56 days, could be successfully developed. This research can provide a key reference for the utilization of PG and development of high performance eco-SSC.

This paper presents a technique of feedrate scheduling by analyzing the material removal volume when a tool moves in linear, circular, or parametric curved motions. Tool motions of different types of endmilling cutters are considered in this study. By studying the relationship between the cutter geometry and the tool motion, the material removal rates of different cutters are analyzed. The adaptive feedrate scheduling can be determined to maintain a constant cutting load. The technique developed in this research can be used for tool path generation in CAD/CAM systems for 2.5D NC machining.

Ultrafine fibers are widely employed because of their lightness, softness, and warmth retention. Although silkworm silk is one of the most applied natural silks, it is coarse and difficult to transform into ultrafine fibers. Thus, to obtain ultrafine high-performance silk fibers, we employed anti-juvenile hormones in this study to induce bimolter silkworms. We found that the bimolter cocoons were composed of densely packed thin fibers and small apertures, wherein the silk diameter was 54.9% less than that of trimolter silk. Further analysis revealed that the bimolter silk was cleaner and lighter than the control silk. In addition, it was stronger (739 MPa versus 497 MPa) and more stiffness (i.e., a higher Young’s modulus) than the trimolter silk. FTIR and X-ray diffraction results revealed that the excellent mechanical properties of bimolter silk can be attributed to the higher β-sheet content and crystallinity. Chitin staining of the anterior silk gland suggested that the lumen is narrower in bimolters, which may lead to the formation of greater numbers of β-sheet structures in the silk. Therefore, this study reveals the relationship between the structures and mechanical properties of bimolter silk and provides a valuable reference for producing high-strength and ultrafine silk fibers.
