<b>Raman Examination for Contamination: Iron Nitrate and Propellant Evaluation</b>Harmont Louis Leo Grenier (18414405) 19 April 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Since before the Apollo era, the rocket propulsion sector has been a key player in developing standards of cleanliness and compatibility when designing, building, and operating systems with toxic propellants. The advent of hypergols and the widespread use of propellants like N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen (MON), and hydrazine have forced new standards to be developed to meet the ever-growing need for safety when working with dangerous substances. These systems have only continued to grow more complex and many propellant combinations remain toxic and corrosive to most substances as the industry seeks the optimal methods for deriving the most efficient, highest performing, and generally more capable. ASTM International and other standards organizations carry on documenting standards for cleaning and passivation to ensure safe use today to meet the needs of the ever-expanding propulsion industry.</p><p dir="ltr">This thesis aims to determine the feasibility of using Raman spectroscopy as a method of characterizing interactions between metals and propellants. First, a background of knowledge regarding the spectroscopic method, propellants, and industry practices was researched and current areas of possible application were identified. The passivation and propellant storage phases of system lifecycles were determined to be the scope and target for experimentation. A multilevel passivation study consisting of exposing three metal types to different concentrations of nitric acid for various durations was conducted to begin developing a greater understanding of the applicability of and the techniques required to make Raman spectroscopy work as a complement to the ASTM passivation verification tests. Lessons learned from this and a short-duration compatibility study with MON and similar metal samples were documented and will be used for a larger scale and longer duration compatibility study in conjunction with NASA White Sands Test Facility (WSTF). The buildup of safe and adequate facilities for such a study was undertaken, completed, and documented in this work.</p><p dir="ltr">The results of testing in this thesis suggest the promising and desirable non-destructive and minimally invasive features of Raman spectroscopy have the potential to be used extensively in the propulsion sector. Suggestions for developing key techniques and methods for this application are developed and outlined as they were learned throughout the study's conduction.</p>

STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING OF FILAMENT WOUND GLASS FIBER/EPOXY COMPOSITES WITH CARBON BLACK FILLER VIA ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHYAkshay Jacob Thomas (7026218) 02 August 2019 (has links)
<div>
<p>Fiber reinforced polymer
composites are widely used in manufacturing advanced light weight structures
for the aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors owing to their superior
stiffness and strength. With the increasing use of composites, there is an increasing
need to monitor the health of these structures during their lifetime.
Currently, health monitoring in filament wound composites is facilitated by
embedding piezoelectrics and optical fibers in the composite during the
manufacturing process. However, the incorporation of these sensing elements
introduces sites of stress concentration which could lead to progressive damage
accumulation. In addition to introducing weak spots in the structure, they also
make the manufacturing procedure difficult. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Alternatively,
nanofiller modification of the matrix imparts conductivity which can be
leveraged for real time health monitoring with fewer changes to the
manufacturing method. Well dispersed nanofillers act as an integrated sensing
network. Damage or strain severs the well-connected nanofiller network thereby
causing a local change in conductivity. The self-sensing capabilities of these
modified composites can be combined with low cost, minimally invasive imaging
modalities such as electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for damage detection.
To date, however, EIT has exclusively been used for damage detection in planar
coupons. These simple plate-like structures are not representative of
real-world complex geometries. This thesis advances the state of the art in
conductivity-based structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive
evaluation (NDE) by addressing this limitation of EIT. The current study will
look into damage detection of a non-planar multiply connected domain – a
filament-wound glass fiber/epoxy tube modified by carbon black (CB) filler. The
results show that EIT is able to detect through holes as small as 7.94 mm in a
tube with length-to-diameter ratio of 132.4 mm-to-66.2 mm (aspect ratio of
2:1). Further, the sensitivity of EIT to damage improved with decreasing tube
aspect ratio. EIT was also successful in detecting sub-surface damage induced
by low velocity impacts. These results indicate that EIT has much greater
potential for composite SHM and NDE than prevailing work limited to planar geometries
suggest.</p>
