Effect of the cobalt ferrite and carbon fiber powder doping ratio on the electromagnetic properties of coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric

In this project, firstly, polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric was prepared by in situ polymerization using polyester–cotton fabric as the base fabric, aniline as the monomer, ammonium persulfate as the oxidizer, and camphor sulfonic acid as the dopant. Secondly, cobalt ferrite/carbon fiber powder-coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric was prepared by the textile coating process using polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric as the base fabric, PU2540-type polyurethane as the adhesive, and cobalt ferrite and carbon fiber powder as functional particles. Finally, the effect of the cobalt ferrite and carbon fiber powder doping ratio on the shielding effectiveness, reflection loss, dielectric constant real part, imaginary part, and loss angle tangent of cobalt ferrite/carbon fiber powder-coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric was studied by using the controlled variable method with emphasis on the cobalt ferrite/carbon fiber powder doping ratio. The results show that in the frequency range of 0.01–3.0 GHz, when the doping ratio of cobalt ferrite to carbon fiber powder is 0:3, the reflection loss of cobalt ferrite/carbon fiber powder-coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric reaches the minimum value at 1.49 GHz, the minimum reflection loss is –21.4 dB, and the effective absorption band is 1.25–1.94 GHz. In the test band, the shielding efficiency, reflection loss, the real part and imaginary part of the dielectric constant, and the loss angle tangent of the carbon fiber powder-coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric are larger than those of cobalt ferrite-coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric. The smaller the doping ratio of cobalt ferrite to carbon fiber powder, the larger value of the shielding efficiency, reflection loss, the real part and imaginary part of the dielectric constant, and loss angle tangent of the cobalt ferrite/carbon fiber powder-coated polyaniline-based polyester–cotton fabric.

Dielectric properties of bionano-composites modified by fish scales

The presented work presents the results of studying the temperature dependences of the dielectric constant and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of biocomposites modified with fish scales. It was found that with an increase in the volumetric content of the bio-filler, the dielectric constant of the biocomposites increases, and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle decreases. By varying the volumetric content of the bio-filler, it is possible to control the properties of biocomposites in the desired direction.

Measuring the Damping Performance of Gradient-Structured Bamboo Using the Resonance Method

Bamboo has natural damping properties, but, due to the obvious gradient differences in bamboo walls, the damping properties of different layers may vary. Using bamboo slivers as the research object, this study investigated the underlying mechanism of the effect of microstructural and chemical components on the damping properties (η, damping ratio) of bamboo using the resonance and nonresonance methods. The damping ratio decreased on L3 (inner layer), L2 (middle layer), and L1 (outer layer) due to lower microfibril angles, increased crystallinity of cellulose, and decreased hemicellulose content. All of these limited the motion of the bamboo’s molecular chains. The damping ratio successively increased in the oven-dried, air-dried, and water saturated states because water acted as a plasticizer. The damping ratio of L1, in the oven-dried state, was slightly higher than that of the air-dried state because L1 had the lowest water content. This allowed less water to escape during drying, which intensified the molecular distortion. The initial tan δ (tangent of the loss angle) decreased successively on the L3, L2, and L1 layers of the bamboo, and the tan δ of L3 was lower than that of L2 due to changes in the temperature sensitivity of hemicellulose.

Determination of Transformer Oil Quality Parameters by its Color Coordinates

The service life of transformers and, as a consequence, of the electric power systems depends largely on the chemical composition and electrical insulating properties of the oil. In this regard, much attention is paid to the control of physical and chemical indicators and operational properties of transformer oils. The aim of this work is to determine the important diagnostic parameters such as the acid number and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the transformer oil based on the measured coordinates of the color of the transformer oil. This goal is achieved by the study of the coordinates of the transformer oils chromaticity. For this purpose, a white light source is used, which is a LED with a pumping line of 450 nm and a maximum radiation in the region of 550-560 nm, with radiation in the range from 400 to 800 nm. Sensors 1, 2, 3 allow determining the chromaticity coordinates of the measured source R, G, B (red, green, blue), due to several receivers having spectral characteristics of sensitivity in the corresponding region of the visible spectrum. The most significant result of the work was the establishment of correlations between the TM chromaticity coordinatesб their acid number and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of TM. The significance of the results obtained was that the acid number and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of the transformer oil could be determined by the chromaticity coordinates, and hence, by the color of the oil.

Simulation Research on Dynamic Characteristics of Hydraulic Mount

At present, research on hydraulic mounts has mainly focused on the prediction of the dynamic stiffness and loss angle. Compared to the traditional finite element analysis method, the programming method can be used to analyze hydraulic mounts for a rapid and accurate understanding of the influence of the different mounting parameters on the dynamic stiffness and loss angle. The aims of this study were to investigate the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of a hydraulic mount, and to identify the parameters that affect the dynamic stiffness and loss angle using MATLAB software programs to obtain the influence curves of the parameters, so as to use suitable parameters as the basis for vibration analysis. A nonlinear mechanical model of a hydraulic mount was established according to the basic principles of fluid dynamics. The dynamic stiffness and loss angle of the dimensionless expression were proposed. A numerical calculation method for the dynamic performance evaluation index of the hydraulic mount was derived. A one-to-one correspondence was established between the structural parameters and peak frequency of the evaluation index. The accuracy and applicability of the mechanical model were verified by the test results. The results demonstrated the accuracy of the nonlinear mechanical model of the hydraulic mount, and the vehicle driving comfort was greatly improved by the optimization of the structural parameters.
