Structural Glass

The attractiveness of glass is something that occupied the world market with a unique claim. It has many applications that go beyond the provision of visual aesthetics, which includes a view of the inside and out. Due to extreme levels of clarity, structural glazing may be so transparent that it may go unnoticed by design or make a strong visual impact such as the focal point of a building. This paper focused on structural glass with various laminated/laminated conditions that were used to investigate the Dynamic Mechanical Properties. The storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G'') and damping factor (tan delta) were determined at various levels, ranging from room temperature to elevated temperatures (250 °C) to understand the behavior of glass structure with and without laminated glass over a range of temperatures. The G' & G'' were tested to understand the effect of bonding, fracture behavior between the pure glass and laminated glass to observe the response with respect to temperature. Results are found that G' and G'' improve over a range of temperatures for laminated glass with enlightening fracture behavior. Laminated glass also has a major influence on the damping factor, but it also depends on the laminated thickness and materials. Thermo-Mechanical Properties of laminated glass are more improved, without affecting the transferability of glass.

Preparation epoxy based hybrid composites were involved kaolin geopolymer filler, organo-montmorillonite at 3phr by using high speed mechanical stirrer. A mechanical behaviour of neat epoxy, epoxy/organo-montmorillonite and its hybrid composites containing 1-8phr kaolin geopolymer filler was studied upon cyclic deformation (three-point flexion mode) as the temperature is varies. The analysis was determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) at frequency of 1.0Hz. The results then expressed in storage modulus (E�), loss modulus (E�) and damping factor (tan d) as function of temperature from 40 oC to 130oC. Overall results indicated that E�, E�� and Tg increased considerably by incorporating optimum 1phr kaolin geopolymer in epoxy organo-montmorillonite hybrid composites.

Fiber plays an important role in determining the hardness, strength, and dynamic mechanical properties of composite material. In the present work, enhancement of viscoelastic behaviour of hybrid phenolic composites has been synergistically investigated. Five different phenolic composites, namely, C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5, were fabricated by varying the weight percentage of basalt and aramid fiber, namely, 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5% by compensating with barium sulphate (BaSO4) to keep the combined reinforcement concentration at 25 wt%. Hardness was measured to examine the resistance of composites to indentation. The hardness of phenolic composites increased from 72.2 to 85.2 with increase in basalt fiber loading. Composite C1 (25 wt% fiber) is 1.2 times harder than composite C5. Compression test was conducted to find out compressive strength of phenolic composites and compressive strength increased with increase in fiber content. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was carried out to assess the temperature dependence mechanical properties in terms of storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E′′), and damping factor (tan δ). The results indicate great improvement of E′ values and decrease in damping behaviour of composite upon fiber addition. Further X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis were employed to characterize the friction composites.

ABSTRACT The effect of ethylene-co-methacrylate (EMA) as polymeric chemical compatibilizer on the mechanical, dynamic mechanical, phase morphology, adhesion, and rheological properties of the blends of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)–polydimethylsiloxane rubber (PDMS) was investigated at different blend ratios. Melt blending technique was used to prepare the compatibilized blends. Enhancement of the mechanical properties and the reduction of dispersed PDMS domain size in the alloy confirmed the compatibilization effect of EMA on TPU-PDMS blends. Dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus, loss modulus, and the damping factor were evaluated to assess the compatibilization effect of EMA on TPU-PDMS blends. Creep tests revealed that compatibilization led to better dimensional stability. Compatibilized blends with finer PDMS rubber domains showed relatively less reduction in storage modulus as compared with uncompatibilized blends during stress relaxation studies. Rheological analysis suggested that the incorporation of EMA decreased the interfacial slip between the blend constituents, and this also confirmed the compatibilization effect of EMA on TPU-PDMS rubber blends as a polymeric reactive compatibilizer.

Dynamic mechanical properties of polymeric materials are of direct relevance to a range of unique polymer applications. The aim of the study is to investigate the dynamic mechanical properties of composites of short nylon 6 fiber with acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). The storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G″), and the damping factor (tan δ) have been analyzed with reference to the effects of fiber loading, curing systems, and bonding agents over a range of temperature and at varying frequencies. The storage modulus increases with increment in fiber loading, whereas loss modulus and damping factor decrease. The glass transition temperature shifts to higher temperature upon increment in fiber loading. Dicumyl peroxide (DCP)–cured composites show higher storage modulus and lower damping than the corresponding sulfur-cured one. The addition of hexa-resorcinol and phthalic anhydride as bonding agents enhances the dynamic mechanical properties of the composites. The experimental results have been evaluated by comparing with Einstein, Guth, and Nielsen models.

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), their remarkable properties make them ideal candidates to reinforce in advanced composites. In this attempt, an enhancement of mechanical properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) by adding 1 wt% of CNTs is studied using Dynamic mechanical and Thermal analyzer (DMTA). The chemically treated and functionalized CNTs were homogeneously dispersed with HDPE and the test samples were made using injection molding machine. Using DMTA, storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E″) and damping factor (tan δ) of the sample under oscillating load were studied as a function of frequency of oscillation and temperatures. The storage modulus decreases with an increase of temperature and increases by adding CNTs in the composites where the reinforcing effect of CNT is confirmed. It is concluded that the large scale polymer relaxations in the composites are effectively restrained by the presence of CNTs and thus the mechanical properties of nanocomposites increase. The transition frequency of loss modulus is observed at 1 Hz. The loss modulus decreases with an increase of temperature at below 1 Hz but opposite trend was observed at above 1 Hz. The shift factor could be predicted from Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) model which has good agreement with experimental results.

Fracture Behaviors

In this study, effects of Nd addition on mechanical properties and fracture behaviors of as-extruded Mg-5Al-3Ca based alloy were investigated by a tensile test at elevated temperatures. For all temperatures, addition of Nd elements resulted in further increase of strength both yield and ultimate strength compared to the Mg-5Al-3Ca alloy. At 150°C, the ductility in Nd-added alloys is lower than that of no-Nd addition alloy. However, at 250°C, the ductility in Nd-added alloys is improved for no-Nd addition alloy because of fine grain and suppression of grain growth by formation of thermally stable Al2Nd intermetallic compounds.

AbstractBased on the alloying method to improve the intergranular cohesion of LI2 alloys, it was shown that the Ni3 Si alloy was ductilized by the addition of Ti element and the control of stoicliometry. Metallographic and structural observations in the alloys along Ni3Si-Ni 3 Ti section were performed on optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, TEM and ALCHEMI. It was shown that Ti element with a solubility of about 11 at.% substituted for the Si sites and the Ni3 (Si,Ti) alloys were highly ordered. The mechanical properties and fracture behavior of Ni3 (Si,Ti) polycrystals were investigated in terms of composition, the environmental effect, test temperature and the doping of B, C and Be. At ambient temperatures, higher ductility accompanied by a high portion of transgranular fractures was observed in the alloys with higher Ti and Ni contents, doped with B and C, and tested in vacuum. Hydrogen and oxygen from environment strongly affected the ductility and fracture of these alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures, respectively. The yield stress increased with increasing Ti content.

The influence of superheat treatment on the microstructure and dynamic mechanical properties of A357 alloys has been investigated. The study of microstructure was performed by the optical microscope. Dynamic mechanical properties (storage modulus, loss modulus, and damping capacity) were measured by the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Microstructure showed coarser and angular eutectic Si particles with larger α-Al dendrites in the non-superheated A357 alloy. In contrast, finer and rounded eutectic Si particles together with smaller and preferred oriented α-Al dendrites have been observed in the superheated A357 alloy. Dynamic mechanical properties showed an increasing trend of loss modulus and damping capacity meanwhile a decreasing trend of storage modulus at elevated temperatures for superheated and non-superheated A357 alloys. The high damping capacity of superheated A357 has been ascribed to the grain boundary damping at elevated temperatures.

Owing to the high cost of carbon fibres and a necessity for finding alternatives that environmentally friendly, a portion of carbon fibres was substituted by woven jute fibre, with various stacking sequences for military applications. Hot press was used to fabricate the composite and hybrid samples of jute/carbon fibres reinforced polyvinyl butyral film using as a layer. Dynamic mechanical experiments (DMA) were conducted with more focus on the stacking sequences of jute and carbon, with increasing temperature. Results showed that the carbon/jute/carbon (H1) hybrid has the highest storage modulus and loss modulus values compared with other hybrids. Significantly, placing woven jute fibre at the outer layers and carbon fibres at the inner layers provided lower dynamic mechanical properties than that of the hybrids with placing jute at the inner layers. Besides, the damping factor shifts to higher temperatures by hybridization of jute fibres compared with carbon composite. Additionally, glass transition temperature (Tg) obtained from the damping curve and loss modulus exhibits a temperature between 129 and 180℃ for all composites, in withstanding dynamic loads. The dynamic mechanical properties were observed to be decreased with increasing temperature for all laminated composites. From results, it could be deduced that it is possible to reduce amount of carbon fibres in different composites industries with woven jute, thus providing less both cost and harmful environment.

In order to determine the mechanical properties of materials suitable for use as coatings on structural or gas turbine components, it is often necessary to conduct testing on coated specimens, with the properties of the coating then to be extracted from the response. A methodology for extracting material properties from comparisons of resonant frequencies and system loss factors for coated and uncoated beams, which is applicable even when the desired properties (storage and loss modulus) have a strong dependence on the amplitude of cyclic strain, is summarized and applied to the determination of the material properties of an air plasma sprayed alumina-titania blend ceramic to which a viscoelastic material has been added by vacuum infiltration. Tests were conducted at both room and elevated temperatures. Material properties obtained from specimens with three coating thicknesses are compared and show that values obtained for the stiffness (storage modulus) decrease with increasing coating thickness, but that values obtained for the measure of dissipative capacity (loss modulus) are essentially independent of thickness. Addition of the infiltrate was found to double the storage modulus and to increase the loss modulus at room temperature by factors of up to 3, depending on the amplitude of cyclic strain. The storage modulus of this infiltrated coating appears to diminish with increasing depth into the coating, suggesting dependence on the amount of infiltrate present. The loss modulus, however, appears to be comparatively insensitive to the amount of infiltrate present. Results from a limited investigation of the influence of increased temperature on the properties of the infiltrated coating show decreases in storage modulus with temperature, and a maximum in the loss modulus at a temperature determined by the temperature dependent properties of the specific viscoelastic material used as the infiltrate.
