Traffic and environmental conditions are key parameters in road applications. Empirical studies and numerical analyses, which are widely adopted in material design studies, are used for analysing superstructures of the roads, and developmental approaches are improved for future designs as well. In flexible pavements, polymer and fibre-reinforced additives are frequently used to make them durable against deteriorations and to extend their service life. One of the additives that is mostly preferred is the Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) material thanks to a variety of their physical and chemical properties. Physical and mechanical properties of the natural ground layer and its interactions with the superstructure are crucial parameters in terms of performance under various environmental and traffic conditions. In this study, the use of SBS-modified Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) was examined as a flexible superstructure, and the mechanical properties of the granular base and the natural ground layer were tested. The stress and deformation occurring within layers in various periods were also considered. The presented study is a suitable tool for the use of additives that significantly contribute to the mechanical properties and service life of the roads. In this study, it is concluded that the use of additives significantly improves the mechanical response and service life of the roads.

Over the years, plastic water bottle manufacturing, especially PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) bottle has been steadily increasing due to its toughness, transparency, and chemical properties. However, most manufacturers have to spare time, and cost, verifying their prototypes in accordance to the Thai Industrial Standard (TIS) before any mass production can start. This paper aims to overcome some of these problems by using Finite Element Method (FEM) to study bottle mechanical properties, particularly maximum stress and deformation that can be employed to evaluate performance and optimal thickness. From simulation results the optimal thickness of a 6-liter bottle, that its maximum stress can still be kept under critical value, is 0.45 mm. The thinner and lighter bottle reduces the amount of material usage. The FEM simulation also speeds up and alleviates some necessary testing procedures in a prototype designing process.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used to prepare epoxidised natural rubber (ENR) nanocomposites. Our attempt to achieve nanostructures in MWNTs/ENR nanocomposites were formed by incorporating carbon nanotubes in a polymeric solution. Using this technique, nanotubes can be dispersed homogeneously in the ENR matrix with an attempt to increase the mechanical properties of these nanocomposites. The properties of the nanocomposites such as volume resistivity, tensile strength and tensile modulus were studied. Mechanical test results show an increase in the initial modulus for up to 14 times in relation to pure ENR. In addition to mechanical testing, the dispersion state of the MWNTs into ENR was studied by field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) in order to understand the morphology of the resulting system. According to the present study, application of the physical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes to ENR can result in rubber products which have improved mechanical, physical and chemical properties.

The purpose of this study was to assess the physical and mechanical properties of pavement concrete for rural roads of South Korea made with air-cooled slag aggregate, which is an industrial byproduct. This study assessed the physical and chemical properties according to the following performance requirements based on the design criteria of the Korea Ministry of Agriculture’s Agricultural Production Infrastructure Maintenance Business Plan and the Korea Expressway Corporation’s Highway Construction Specialized Specifications: slump of 80 mm or greater, air content of 4.5 ± 1.5%, compressive strength of at least 21 MPa, splitting tensile strength of at least 4.2 MPa, and a chloride penetration resistance of less than 4000 C. The slump, air content, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and chloride ion permeability of the aggregate-containing concretes were measured. The air-cooled slag aggregates provided the necessary physical and chemical properties and presented no environmental issues. Furthermore, the slump and air content of concrete made with the aggregates met the target values. The slump decreased and the air content increased with increasing amounts of air-cooled slag aggregate. Mechanical testing of the concretes containing air-cooled slag aggregate established that they met the performance requirements for rural road pavement.

The current study aimed to assess the Carbonate rocks as dimension stones for building. Carbonate rocks collected from the Mauddud Formation (Albian- Cenomanian), within the Western Desert of Iraq are studied petrographically, mineralogically and geochemically. Physical and mechanical properties of selected samples are found to assess their suitability as building stones. Field work is carried out and evaluated sampling of three sites of carbonate rocks. Petrography and mineralogy of these rocks are studied using polarized microscope and XRD technique.Three microfacies (peloidal wackstone-packstone, peloidal packstone and crystalline carbonate) are distinguished. Dolomitization, cementation and recrystallization are themain diagenetic processaffecting the physical and chemical properties of them. Dolomite is the predominant mineral in the 1M and 2M sites, whereas calcite is the most predominant mineral in the 3M site, so it is classified as limestone. Chemically samples are analyzedfor SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, Fe2O3, Na2O, K2O, TiO2, MnO and LOI. CaO and MgO are the most predominant oxides confirming the abundance of calcite and dolomiteso it is classified as a calcitic dolomite for 1M and 2M sites while classified as limestone for 3M site. The results of analysis physical and mechanical properties (bulk density, water absorption, compressive strength, modulus of rupture and abrasion resistance) are indicate that selected rocks are suitable as dimension stones for building according to American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM) specification.

Abstract The problem of obtaining predicted physical and mechanical properties and a given service life of multifunctional composite protective coatings in the form of barrier layers that increase the service life of mechanical engineering products and formative tools are inherently interconnected. Among all the variety of innovative highly efficient technological processes, a special place should be given to the method of electro-acoustic spraying (ELAN). This method is innovative in the field of synthesis of multifunctional composite coatings, which allows the formation of protective films of an amorphous material on any conductive substrates [1]. This technology is based on the use of the complex energy of an electric spark and a complex ultrasonic field. The aim of this work is to optimize the process of obtaining multifunctional composite protective coatings based on the complex mass transfer of the electrode material and the subsequent formation of amorphous structures with predictable physical and mechanical properties by the method of electro-acoustic spraying based on the effect of electro-plasticity during deformation and pulsed action of a high-energy electromagnetic field.
