The specific properties of material, such as resistance, the cost and the weight, become key factors in the decision making and the choice of vulgarization of material in its industrial and technological aspect. The choice of a resinous system used like stamps in the design of composites, depends on the mechanical performances and the cost of the resin. Currently the prohibitory cost of composite materials slows down the rise of their applications in certain technical fields. In this study, the physical and the mechanical characterization is presented, bearing on the resin of the type RESOW 55 E reinforced out of powders of different nature at different rate. The results of the mechanical tests carried out, show clearly, that the fracture is strongly influenced by the type and the rate of powder added in the matrix. In reinforcement, according to the results obtained with x-rays, one notes that there are no new chemical compounds formed in elaborate materials. The presence of powder does not modify the structure of polymer and that is confirmed by the x-rays analysis and spectrometric analysis. Based on experimental results, a model of Weibull strength distribution function has been established for each specimen. Finally, a confrontation of the theoretical and experimental results is carried out, based on probabilistic models.

Properties Of Composites

Producing composites from natural fibers is known to be common. These fibers benefit from their mechanical performances, low density, and their biodegradability. However, it is necessary for the fibers to form adhesion in the matrix. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a chemical process to the surface of the fibers. In this study, four different processes in conventional and ultrasonic energies were applied on luffa cylindrical fibers. At the end of the application, a composite structure was formed on the fibers that were obtained by using unsaturated polyester resin. The changes in the characteristics of the composite structure were recorded by mechanical tests, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffractometer, and their morphological characteristics by means of scanning electron microscopy. Considering all the results, formic acid and acetic acid process results were found to adequately modify the fiber surfaces.

Making adobes with the best mechanical properties for the construction of earthen housings is the overall goal of this work. Specifically, we study the influence of rice straw on the physical and mechanical properties of these adobes. The physical and mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength) of adobes (mixture of sandy clay and rice straw) have been studied with different proportions of straw in the mixture. It is a question of determining the quantity of stalks of rice straw making it possible to optimize the mechanical performances of the composite. Various compositions have been considered with mass concentrations of rice straw ranging from 0 to 40% relative to the volume of clay sand to make 4×4×16cm prismatic specimens. The results obtained during physical and mechanical tests were presented in the form of a graph. The analysis of these data shows that the optimal addition of rice straw in the clay matrix is 25% for a better compromise between the compressive and tensile strengths. The improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of adobes is related to the good adhesion between the rice straw and the clay matrix, to the high tensile strength of the rice straw and finally to a good distribution of cracks in the composites

This work presents an investigation of the mechanical properties of a composite structure manufactured from polypropylene matrix reinforced with jute waste fibres collected from textile industry with extrusion followed by injection techniques. Mechanical tests under uniaxial strain shows that this lightweight vegetal fibre significantly enhanced the mechanical performances of the whole composite with a very slight quantity of compatibilizer which positively influences the final price of the composite. The fracture surfaces showed highly tethered as well as weakly anchored fibres to the matrix. Moreover, in order to have a deep insight on that anchoring behaviour, uniaxial tensile deformation was applied under Scanning Electron Microscopy and evidenced how the fibre/matrix interface plays a high role to strengthen the whole structure. The fibre and matrix interface is not simply resumed to high or weak anchoring but there is a combination of sticking and slipping of reinforcement on the polymeric walls.

Map Resolution

X-rays are emitted from a relatively large volume in bulk samples, limiting the smallest features which are visible in X-ray maps. Beam spreading also hampers attempts to make geometric measurements of features based on their boundaries in X-ray maps. This has prompted recent interest in using low voltages, and consequently mapping L or M lines, in order to minimize the blurring of the maps.An alternative strategy draws on the extensive work in image restoration (deblurring) developed in space science and astronomy since the 1960s. A recent example is the restoration of images from the Hubble Space Telescope prior to its new optics. Extensive literature exists on the theory of image restoration. The simplest case and its correspondence with X-ray mapping parameters is shown in Figures 1 and 2.Using pixels much smaller than the X-ray volume, a small object of differing composition from the matrix generates a broad, low response. This shape corresponds to the point spread function (PSF). The observed X-ray map can be modeled as an “ideal” map, with an X-ray volume of zero, convolved with the PSF. Figure 2a shows the 1-dimensional case of a line profile across a thin layer. Figure 2b shows an idealized noise-free profile which is then convolved with the PSF to give the blurred profile of Figure 2c.

The main objective of this paper is to prove a theorem according to which a method of successive elimination of unknowns in the solution of systems of linear equations in the semi-rings with iteration gives the really smallest solution of the system. The proof is based on the graph interpretation of the system and establishes a relationship between the method of sequential elimination of unknowns and the method for calculating a cost matrix of a labeled oriented graph using the method of sequential calculation of cost matrices following the paths of increasing ranks. Along with that, and in terms of preparing for the proof of the main theorem, we consider the following important properties of the closed semi-rings and semi-rings with iteration.We prove the properties of an infinite sum (a supremum of the sequence in natural ordering of an idempotent semi-ring). In particular, the proof of the continuity of the addition operation is much simpler than in the known issues, which is the basis for the well-known algorithm for solving a linear equation in a semi-ring with iteration.Next, we prove a theorem on the closeness of semi-rings with iteration with respect to solutions of the systems of linear equations. We also give a detailed proof of the theorem of the cost matrix of an oriented graph labeled above a semi-ring as an iteration of the matrix of arc labels.The concept of an automaton over a semi-ring is introduced, which, unlike the usual labeled oriented graph, has a distinguished "final" vertex with a zero out-degree.All of the foregoing provides a basis for the proof of the main theorem, in which the concept of an automaton over a semi-ring plays the main role.The article's results are scientifically and methodologically valuable. The proposed proof of the main theorem allows us to relate two alternative methods for calculating the cost matrix of a labeled oriented graph, and the proposed proofs of already known statements can be useful in presenting the elements of the theory of semi-rings that plays an important role in mathematical studies of students majoring in software technologies and theoretical computer science.

K shell X-rays of barium and thallium following internal conversion decay in Cs137 and Hg203, respectively, were detected using a Si(Li) X-ray detector coupled to PC-based 8k multichannel analyser employing the method suggested earlier by our group. The K shell X-ray intensity ratios and vacancy transfer probabilities for thallium and barium were calculated. The obtained results are compared with theoretical, semiempirical, and others’ experimental results obtained via photoionization as well as decay processes. The effects of beta decay and internal conversion on X-ray emission probabilities are discussed.

AbstractThe paper describes a different condition of pouring temperature by sand and permanent mould to produce A356-6 wt% TiB2 metal matrix composites by in-situ method salt metal reaction route. The observation of SEM micrographs shows particle distribution of the TiB2 and it appears in hexagonal shape in Al matrix. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of those TiB2 particulates and the results showed TiB2 particles are homogeneously dispersed throughout the matrix metal. Subsequent structure-property evaluation studies indicated sub-micron size reinforcement of in-situ formed TiB2 particles with improved physical and mechanical properties as compared to sand and permanent mould of Al-TiB2 composites. From, the permanent mould Al-TiB2 composite has an advantage of increase the properties over sand mould Al-TiB2 composite.

We investigate isovector pygmy dipole resonance (IVPDR) for the case of neutron-rich nuclei 68 Ni , 130 Sn and 134 Sn using effective nucleon–nucleon Skyrme interaction. We use the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) theory and employ the (quasiparticle) random phase approximation (Q)RPA. We calculate and compare the PDR strength in the PDR energy region for the case of density dependent central and full interaction modes for RPA and QRPA calculations. We observe that the results for the pygmy dipole resonance for neutron-rich soft nuclei 68 Ni that we consider are in reasonable agreement with their experimental results in both interactions and calculations. We also study the PDR for highly neutron-rich heavy nuclei, such as 130 Sn and 134 Sn . We see that only the QRPA calculation with full interaction is in good agreement with the experimental results for these nuclei and with a recent study in the literature. We find that the PDR strength distribution sensitively depends on the chosen interaction modes, especially for the neutron-rich heavy nuclei 134 Sn .

The Cost

Powerful pulse installations are usually used to produce large yields of X-ray radiation. With an increase of the stored energy up to 100 MJ, the costof a single experiment on these installations becomes comparable to the cost of a shot with explosive magnetic generators (EMG), according to expert estimates. The physical scheme of a device with a changeable mass liner forlarge soft X-ray (in the range of 0.3 to 0.5 keV) yields eneration is investigated. The scheme investigated is substantially free from difficulties connected with high precision liners and fast switches for current pulse sharpening.

The Relationship

The equation ε eff ∝ (ϕc - ϕ)-s which shows the relationship between effective dielectric constant (εeff) and the filler concentration (φ), is widely used to determine the percolation behavior and obtain parameters, such as percolation threshold φc and the power constant s in conductor–dielectric composites (CDCs). Six different systems of CDCs were used to check the expression by fitting experimental results. It is found that the equation can fit the experimental results at any frequency. However, it is found that the fitting constants do not reflect the real percolation behavior of the composites. It is found that the dielectric constant is strongly dependent on the frequency, which is mainly due to the fact that the frequency dependence of the dielectric constant for the composites close to φc is almost independent of the matrix.
