An optimum model for the compositional design of advanced ceramic composites is built based on the impact resistance. The relative impact modulus IM0 is defined as an index for the characterization of impact resistance of brittle ceramics. Computer aided optimum technique is used to get the optimum compositions of the material. Results show that the material can be expected to have the highest impact resistance which is nearly 86% higher than that of the pure alumina when the volume fraction of Al2O3, SiC and Ti(C,N) is 72.3%, 14.8% and 12.9%, respectively. An advanced SiC/Ti(C,N)/Al2O3 ceramic composite is then fabricated according to the optimum results. When used as cutting tools, its impact fracture resistance is approximately 71%-76% higher than that of the pure alumina ceramic in the machining of hardened carbon steel. The increment coincides well with that predicted directly from the optimum model. It suggests that the method is feasible in the design and fabrication of ceramic composites especially for machining application.

Zirconium dioxide (zirconia) ceramics are known by its high strength and toughness and titanium dioxide (titania) ceramics has outstanding surface properties. The ceramic composite formed between the two oxides are expected to have advantages of both ceramics, especially when its surface area is increased by pores. In this work, ceramic composites of ZrO2-Y2O3-TiO2were synthesized by coprecipitation and rice starch was added as pore former in 10, 20 and 30 wt%. Powders were cold pressed as cylindrical pellets and sintered at 1500 °C for 01 hour and ceramics were characterized by techniques as Archimedes method for density measurements, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that pores are inhomogeneously distributed through ceramic bodies.

Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramics with Ce-TZP (tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline doped with ceria) volume fraction on 33% were prepared with the addition.. The influence of glass infiltrated method was investigated. Coprecipitated Zr and Ce hydroxide mixture was obtained from ZrOCl2.8H2O and CeCl3. 7H2O aqueous solution. CeO2-ZrO2 calcinated powder was compacted and the compacted samples were sintered at 1180°C. Powder samples were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), The volume fraction of each phase, the grains size and shapes, and the porosity were investigated with SEM. The relative density and shrinkage was investigate too. The results showed that the crystalline matrix was composed by SiO2 -B2O3-La2O3-Al2O3-Ce-TZP and revealed the important role played the glassy phase in the densification of this ceramic composite.

The buriti (Muritia flexuosa) fiber are among the lignocellulosic fibers with apotential to be used as reinforcement of polymer composites. In recent years, the buriti fiber has been characterized for its properties as an engineering natural material. The toughness of buriti composites remains to be a evaluated. Therefore, the present work evaluated the toughness of epoxy composites reinforced with different amounts of buriti fibers by means of Charpy impact tests. It was found a significant increase in the impact resistance with the volume fraction of buriti fibers. Fracture observations by scanning electron microscopy revealed the mechanism responsible for this toughness behavior.

Copper slag (CS) is produced during the smelting process to separate copper from copper ore. The object of the experimental research is to find the optimum percentage of CS and PPF volume fraction when CS replaces fine aggregate, and PPF volume fraction when subjected to impact loading. Copper slag was incorporated as 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% with PPF of 0.2–0.8% with 0.2% increment. The number of blows on failure of the specimen increases as the fibre volume increases. In addition, the energy absorption of composite concrete is higher than that of ordinary concrete. Concrete with up to 40% CS and 0.6% PPF volume shows a 111.72% increase in the number of blows for failure as compared to the control specimen. The impact resistance at failure was predicted by regression analysis, and very high regression coefficients of 0.93, 0.98 and 0.98 were obtained respectively at 7-, 14- and 28-days curing. In addition to regression analysis, a two-parameter Weibull distribution analysis was used to obtain reliable data on the number of blows at first cracking and eventual failure. The energy absorption at 28-day curing period is 1485.81 Nm which is 284% higher than the control mix. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that adding CS up to 60% densifies the microstructure due to its pozzolanic activity, while polypropylene fibre acts as a micro reinforcement, increasing the number of blows.

An optimum model for the composition design of the advanced ceramic material is built based on the wear resistance with the combination of both theoretical and experimental methods, with KIC 3/4×H1/2 working as the coefficient of wear resistance when the abrasive wear dominates. Results show that the tested SiC/(W,Ti)C/Al2O3 ceramic material can be expected to achieve the highest wear resistance when the volume fraction of SiC and (W,Ti)C is about 15% and 17%, respectively. The optimum composite is then fabricated with the hot pressing technique. Its wear resistance is approximately 43% higher than that of the pure alumina ceramic when used as the tool material in the machining of the hardened tool steel. The increment of the wear resistance of the developed ceramic material coincides well with that predicted from the optimum model. It proves that the method proposed in the present study is feasible for the ceramic materials mainly with wear mechanisms of abrasive wear.

AbstractSolid–liquid composites (SLCs) with novel thermal/electronic/mechanical properties imparted by programmable and functional liquid inclusions have attracted considerable research interest in recent years, and are widely used in smart electronics and soft robotics. The feasible application of SLCs requires that they exhibit excellent static physical properties as well as dynamic impact resistance to satisfy complex service conditions, such as drops and impacts. This paper examined the impact resistance of SLCs fabricated by using microfluidic 3D printing. The results of dynamic split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests showed that the performance of the fabricated SLCs improved in terms of energy dissipation and impact resistance compared with pristine materials. In case of dynamic impact in the strain rates ranging from 100 to $$400\,\hbox {s}^{-1}$$ 400 s - 1 , the SLC specimen deformed without fracture, and its energy dissipation was dominated by the viscosity of the liquid inclusions. For dynamic impact in the strain rates ranging from 500 to $$800\,\hbox {s}^{-1}$$ 800 s - 1 , the SLC specimen fractured and its energy dissipation was determined by the volume fraction of the liquid inclusions. Thus, the energy dissipation of the SLCs could be tuned by regulating the viscosity and volume fraction of the liquid inclusions to satisfy the requirements of protection against different strain rates. Furthermore, the process of fracture of the SLCs under the dynamic SHPB tests was recorded and analyzed by using a high-speed camera. The results showed that distributed liquid inclusions changed the paths of crack propagation to enhance energy dissipation in the SLCs. This study experimentally verified the enhancement in the energy dissipation of SLCs, and provided design strategies for developing multifunctional SLCs with high impact resistance.

The incorporation of a small amount of steel fibers or fine polypropylene fibers in concrete can increase its impact resistance. But steel fiber has the problems of corrosion, high cost and high mess. The effect of fine polypropylene fibers in inhibiting the impact crack is not effective. The research was taken to measure the properties of fresh concrete mixture of Synthetic Macro-fiber reinforced concrete. And investigated the influence of fiber length and volume fraction on the impact resistance of Synthetic Macro-fiber reinforced concrete. The results showed that these fibers could obviously improve the impact resistance of concrete. There was a best Synthetic Macro-fiber volume fraction. The length of the Synthetic Macro-fiber had a certain influence on the impact resistance of concrete.

Polymer syrup of polymethyl methacrylate and polystyrene reinforced with 2% non settling nanoalumina particles was prepared by dual initiating system containing benzoylperoxide (BPO), azobisisobutyro nitrile (AIBN) and dimethylaniline (DMA). Nanoalumina particles were prepared using autoignition of aluminum nitrate and urea. Nanoalumina particles show the tendency of agglomeration in the polymer matrix because of the presence of hydroxyl groups on its surface. To get better dispersion in polymer matrix, the alumina surface was treated with methacrylol isocyanate, synthesized by the reaction of methacrylol chloride and sodium azide in the presence of dry benzene at 0 °C. The polymer syrup prepared this way was applied between two PMMA sheets of 10 cms × 10 cms × 2 mm dimensions each and the composite thus prepared was tested with Bullet Firing Machine as well as Vertical Drop Weight Impact Testing Machine. The impact strength measurements of two plates composite using both these procedures showed that the impact resistance was found to double in case of nanoalumina. The composite of ten layers and of eleven layers was further tested by 0.32 IOF revolver and Sub Machine Gun Carbine 9 mm 1A1 respectively from 10 m distance which produced an ordinary indent with no penetration.

A fluorine resin/aluminum infrared coating was prepared with aluminum using black paste as filler and fluorine resin as binder. The effect of the black paste content on the performance of gloss, color difference, infrared emissivity, hardness, adhesion, impact resistance, roughness, optical testing, and corrosion resistance of the fluorine resin/aluminum infrared coating were examined. When the content of black paste was increased from 1.0% to 9.0%, the gloss of the coating surface decreased; the ΔE* value of the coating decreased; the infrared emissivity of the coating surface increased gradually; the hardness of the coating was 6H; the adhesion grade of the coating was 0; the infrared absorption peak increased gradually. When the content of black paste was 0%–3.0%, the impact resistance was more than 50 kg∙cm, and the impact resistance was higher. When the content of black paste was 0%–5.0%, the surface roughness of the coating was relatively low. When the content of black paste was 1.0%, the corrosion resistance of the coating was the best. The results showed that when the content of black paste was 1.0%, the performance of the whole fluorine resin coating was the best. Through the preparation and characterization of fluorine resin infrared low-emissivity coatings, the possibility of applying fluorine resin to infrared low-emissivity anticorrosive coatings was discussed, which laid a foundation for the subsequent engineering application of coatings.
