Technical Study

This technical study deals with the experimental evaluation of four different safety gloves, used in Pakistan for protection of hands. The samples were prepared and tested according to their standard test methods EN-388. The samples for EN388 were subjected to three physical tests; puncture resistance (N), abrasion resistance (cycles), tear-resistance (N). The results revealed that the performance levels of synthetic leather/ PVC gloves were found higher than other gloves.

To improve the comfort of agricultural workers, a T-shirt with a printed active cooling finish was evaluated to determine if it would meet the wash life durability and performance expectations of such an arduous application. Six shirts with a printed phase change material (PCM) finish and six shirts without (control) were washed 50 times to replicate a typical consumer wash life. Shirts were evaluated for absorbency, dimensional change, colorfastness, crocking, abrasion resistance, soil release, and smoothness retention according to AATCC and ASTM standard test methods. Testing was conducted before laundering and after 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 consumer laundry (CL) cycles. Absorbency and dimensional change were significantly influenced by the PCM finish. Results demonstrate the appropriateness of adopting such a finish technology for agricultural worker clothing applications.

Correlations between mechanical and geometrical parameters in aggregates can be used as quality and performance prediction tools. I evaluated the following parameter pairs: dry and wet resistance to wear (MDE & MDS), and resistance to fragmentation (LA); polishing resistance and abrasion (PSV–AAV); and flakiness and shape index (FI–SI). The data set comprises slags, sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks tested according to EN standard test methods. FI and SI are positively correlated (r = 0.83) and can be well described by the 1:1 line. Wet and dry resistance to wear are strongly correlated (r = 0.98) with MDE ≈ 2·MDS. Dry resistance to fragmentation (LA) and wet resistance to wear (MDE) are well correlated (r = 0.81), and can be described with the equation LA = 4.95×MDE 0,61 (R2 = 0.69). According to the PSV–AAV correlation, aggregates are divided into two groups with contrasting behavior. Limestones and slags (r = −0.49 to −0.69) exhibit high polishing for high abrasion resistance (high PSV–low AAV), whereas sandstones and mafic to intermediate volcanics (r = 0.44 to 0.39) exhibit high polishing for low abrasion resistance (high PSV–high AAV). Peridotites belong to either PSV–AAV group depending on the soft minerals.

Test Parameters

Two different intergranular corrosion tests were performed on EN AW-6016 sheet material, an ISO 11846:1995-based test with varying solution amounts and acid concentrations, and a standard test of an automotive company (PV1113, VW-Audi). The average intergranular corrosion depth was determined via optical microscopy. The differences in the intergranular corrosion depths were then discussed with regard to the applicability and quality of the two different test methods. The influence of varying test parameters for ISO 11846:1995 was discussed as well. The determined IGC depths were found to be strongly dependent on the testing parameters, which will therefore have a pronounced influence on the determined IGC susceptibility of a material. In general, ISO 11846:1995 tests resulted in a significantly lower corrosion speed, and the corrosive attack was found to be primarily along grain boundaries.

Abstract It is shown that the two interactive strength parameters in the Tsai-Wu tensor polynomial strength criterion for fiber composites can be derived in terms of the uniaxial or non-interacting strength parameters if the composite does not fail under practical levels of hydrostatic pressure or equal transverse compression. Thus the required number of parameters is reduced from seven to five and all five of the remaining strength terms are easily determined using standard test methods. The derived interactive parameters fall within the stability limits of the theory, yet they lead to open failure surfaces in the compressive stress quadrant. The assumptions used to derive the interactive parameters were supported by measurements for the effect of hydrostatic pressure and unequal transverse compression on the behavior of a typical carbon fiber composite.
