[en] ANALYSIS OF THE HYGRO-THERMO-MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF PULTRUDED GLASS-FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITES / [pt] ANÁLISE DO COMPORTAMENTO HIGRO-TERMO-MECÂNICO DE MATERIAIS COMPÓSITOS PULTRUDADOS POLIMÉRICOS REFORÇADOS COM FIBRA DE VIDRO

PRISCILLA SHIMBA CARNEIRO VIEIRA 04 July 2023 (has links)
[pt] Materiais compósitos pultrudados poliméricos reforçados com fibra de vidro (PRFV) são aplicados em diversos setores da indústria por apresentarem boas resistências mecânicas, baixo peso específico e alta resistência à corrosão. A exposição a ambientes agressivos tais como imersão em água, condicionamento sob alta umidade relativa, temperatura baixa e elevada, ciclos térmicos e úmidos, bem como a combinação desses efeitos, tornou-se cada vez mais objeto de estudo para esses tipos de materiais. A compreensão dos efeitos das condições ambientais no comportamento do material é essencial para avaliar seu desempenho e, desta forma, garantir a segurança necessária ao projeto estrutural. Com o objetivo de compreender melhor a influência de diferentes condições ambientais nas propriedades do material compósito PRFV, foram estudados os efeitos da temperatura e umidade, além da ação combinada dessas duas condições, nas suas propriedades físicas, químicas, térmicas e mecânicas. Neste estudo, foram levados em conta aspectos importantes que influenciam o comportamento do material, como a resina utilizada, o grau de cura, e características químicas e físicas do material. Os ensaios experimentais foram conduzidos em quatro condições ambientais: (i) exposição a temperaturas moderadas/elevadas (70 graus C à 330 graus C), (ii) imersão em água deionizada (25 graus C, 55 graus C e 70 graus C), (iii) exposição à névoa salina em câmaras de envelhecimento higrotérmico (35 graus C, 55 graus C e 70 graus C), e (iv) exposição a ambiente externo real. Além disso, foram aplicados modelos teóricos para avaliação dos resultados. Foi observado que a temperatura, o tempo de condicionamento e a umidade são fatores preponderantes no comportamento do material. Adicionalmente, uma questão importante para o estudo de pultrudados reside na compreensão das propriedades interlaminares do material. Nesse contexto, a fratura interlaminar, associada às fissuras no plano longitudinal entre as camadas do material, é uma das principais causas de falha em compósitos pultrudados. Consequentemente, a análise da fratura em modo II, que avalia o mecanismo da propagação da fissura no plano interlaminar, vem ganhando espaço no estudo de materiais compósitos. A análise de fratura em modo II não é trivial ou normatizada para compósitos pultrudados PRFV, de forma que poucos dados e conclusões efetivas foram obtidos até o momento a esse respeito. Com o objetivo de suprir essa lacuna, realizou-se uma extensa investigação experimental, culminando na proposição de uma nova metodologia para avaliação da fratura em modo II em materiais compósitos poliméricos pultrudados reforçados com fibra de vidro (PRFV). / [en] Pultruded glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are applied in various industrial sectors due to their good mechanical strength, low specific weight, and high resistance to corrosion. Exposure to aggressive environments has become an increasingly studied topic for these materials, such as immersion in water, conditioning under high relative humidity, low and high temperatures, thermal and humid cycles, as well as the combination of these effects. Understanding the effects of environment condition on material behavior is essential to evaluate its performance and ensure the necessary safety for structural design. In order to better understand the influence of environmental conditions on the properties of GFRPs, the effects of temperature and humidity, as well as the combined action of these two effects, on their physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties were studied. Important aspects that influence the material s behavior were considered, such as the resin used, the degree of curing, and the chemical and physical characteristics of the material. Experimental tests were conducted under four environmental conditions: (i) exposure to moderate/high temperatures (70 degrees C to 330 degrees C), (ii) immersion in deionized water (25 degrees C, 55 degrees C, and 70 degrees C), (iii) exposure to salt spray in hygrothermal aging chambers (35 degrees C, 55 degrees C, and 70 degrees C), and (iv) exposure to real outdoor environment. In addition, theoretical models were applied to evaluate the results. It was observed that temperature, conditioning time, and moisture are predominant factors in material behavior. Additionally, a important issue for the study of pultruded composites lies in understanding the interlaminar properties of the material. In this context, interlaminar fracture, associated with longitudinal cracks between the layers of the material, is one of the main causes of failure in pultruded composites. Consequently, mode II fracture analysis, which evaluates the mechanism of crack propagation in the interlaminar plane, has been gaining ground in the study of composite materials. Mode II fracture analysis is not trivial or standardized for pultruded GFRP composites, so few data and effective conclusions have been obtained in this regard so far. In order to fill this gap, an extensive experimental investigation was carried out, culminating in the proposal of a new methodology for evaluating mode II fracture in pultruded GFRPs.

Fibre orientation structures and their effects on crack resistance of injection moulded transverse ribbed plate

Coates, Philip D., Caton-Rose, Philip D., Duckett, R.A., Hine, P.J. January 2004 (has links)
No / An extensive study of the fibre orientation structures developed in a transverse ribbed plate during injection moulding, and the use of these structures to investigate the effect of local fibre orientation state on crack initiation resistance, is reported. The fibre orientation results for the ribbed plate, measured using large area image analysis system developed at Leeds University, showed that after an initial settling down period, the central core region, where the fibres are aligned perpendicular to the flow direction, decreased in size monotonically, with an associated monotonic increase in the outer shell regions, where the fibres are aligned preferentially along the injection direction. Interestingly, the level of orientation in the two regions remained almost constant: only the proportions of the two regions were found to change with flow length. Across the plate, close to the gate, the central core region was found to have a lens-like shape, while at the other end of the plate the core was thinner and also consistent in thickness across the sample width. The transverse rib was found to cause little disturbance to the fibre orientation of the base plate. The different proportions of the shell and core regions at different locations over the ribbed plate provided an ideal case to test the proposition of Friedrich that the crack resistance of a short fibre reinforced material depends on the number of fibres that are perpendicular to the crack tip. The impact test results gathered in this way confirmed this hypothesis of Friedrich.

Estudio de compuestos de GRC y adiciones activas: Propiedades mecánicas, envejecimiento acelerado y durabilidad

Lalinde Castrillón, Luis Felipe 21 December 2020 (has links)
[ES] En el ámbito de los materiales compuestos o composites para la construcción, el cemento reforzado con fibras de vidrio (GRC, del inglés glass fiber reinforced cement) es el más extensamente utilizado, por sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas (resistencia a flexión y tenacidad). Sin embargo, la durabilidad de estos composites se ha demostrado crítica, y es necesario proponer alternativas. Las fibras usadas, de carácter álcali-resistente (fibras AR, formadas por agrupación de filamentos), son atacadas por el medio agresivo que impone el cemento hidratado. Una alternativa interesante, desde el punto de vista tecnológico, es la incorporación de materiales cementantes suplementarios de carácter puzolánico. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la influencia de las diferentes adiciones activas en morteros de GRC, observando el comportamiento de los elementos constitutivos del material en condiciones normales de curado, y también al ser sometidos a procesos de envejecimiento controlado. Asimismo, se analiza el comportamiento de los nuevos composites sometidos a diferentes medios agresivos, evaluando la durabilidad y la mejora de los compuestos por medio de la determinación de sus propiedades mecánicas, químicas y físicas. Se han elaborado probetas de GRC a través del procedimiento de premezcla (premix) y se han determinado sus propiedades mecánicas (resistencia a flexión, tenacidad y módulo de elasticidad). Adicionalmente, se han cuantificado las ganancias de resistencia al comparar composites GRC basados en cemento Portland (especímenes control) con otros en los que se ha sustituido hasta el 60% de dicho cemento por adiciones puzolánicas. Al objeto de mejorar la reactividad de las puzolanas, en algunos casos se ha implementado un aumento de su finura a través de la molienda (cenizas volantes molidas, CVm) o de procesos de sonicación (humo de sílice sonicado, HSS). Los especímenes de GRC han sido sometidos a un proceso de envejecimiento (tratamiento en agua a 55ºC durante un período prolongado) y se ha observado un empeoramiento muy importante de la resistencia a flexión y la tenacidad de aquellos que poseen solamente cemento Pórtland como componente cementante. Los composites GRC que contienen cantidades elevadas de puzolana (60% de CVm) o mezclas de puzolanas (50%CVm / 10%HSS, 50%CVm / 10%FCC) presentan una mejora sustancial de las propiedades mecánicas con respecto a los GRC control. La mejora de estos sistemas GRC con elevados porcentajes de puzolanas reactivas se han confirmado a través de estudios físicos y físico - químicos: evaluación de densidad, absorción, estudios microscópicos (lupa y microscopía electrónica de barrido) y análisis termogravimétrico. En cuanto a la respuesta de los composites GRC frente a diferentes disoluciones agresivas, se ha demostrado el efecto beneficioso de la presencia de puzolanas. Después de la exposición de los morteros de GRC a una disolución de NH4Cl, el comportamiento mecánico de los morteros puzolánicos se mantiene por encima del mortero GRC control: esto se debe a la relación directa existente con el incremento de la densidad y la disminución de grado de absorción del composite con la sustitución puzolánica. Al evaluar las propiedades de los morteros de GRC después de su exposición a una disolución de H2SO4, se observan diferencias muy importantes en la evolución de la masa, resistencia a flexión y tenacidad: los composites control son más afectados por la acidez del medio, de modo que la pérdida de masa es muy significativa si se compara con los GRC que presentan puzolanas. La estancia en la empresa Saint Gobain Vetrotex, ha permitido confirmar una gran similitud en los resultados obtenidos mediante los procedimientos seguidos en el laboratorio de la UPV (compuestos de GRC premezclado) comparados con las prácticas desarrolladas por el laboratorio de materiales de la empresa (composites de GRC proyectado). Se han evaluado / [CAT] En l'àmbit dels materials compostos o compòsits per a la construcció, el ciment reforçat amb fibres de vidre (GRC, de l'anglès glass fiber reinforced cement) és el més extensament utilitzat, per les seves excel·lents propietats mecàniques (resistència a flexió i tenacitat). No obstant això, la durabilitat d'aquests compòsits s'ha demostrat crítica, i cal proposar alternatives. Les fibres usades, de caràcter àlcali-resistent (fibres AR, formades per agrupació de filaments), són atacades pel medi agressiu que imposa el ciment hidratat. Una alternativa interessant des del punt de vista tecnològic és la incorporació de materials cimentants suplementaris de caràcter putzolànic. L'objectiu d'aquest treball és estudiar la influència de les diferents addicions actives en morters de GRC, observant el comportament dels elements constitutius del material en condicions normals de curat, i també quan son sotmesos a processos d'envelliment controlat. Així mateix, s'analitza el comportament dels nous compòsits sotmesos a diferents mitjans agressius, avaluant la durabilitat i la millora dels compostos mitjançant la determinació de les seves propietats mecàniques, químiques i físiques. S'han elaborat provetes de GRC a través del procediment de mescla prèvia (premix) i s'ha determinat les seves propietats mecàniques (resistència a flexió, tenacitat, mòdul d'elasticitat). Addicionalment s'han quantificat els guanys de resistència al comparar compòsits GRC basats en ciment Portland (espècimens control) amb altres en què s'ha substituït fins al 60% d'aquest ciment per materials putzolànics. A l'objecte de millorar la reactivitat de les putzolanes, en alguns casos s'ha implementat un augment de la seva finor a través de la mòlta (cendres volants mòltes, CVm) o de processos de sonicació (fum de sílice sonicat, HSS). Els espècimens de GRC han estat sotmesos a un procés d'envelliment (tractament en aigua a 55ºC durant un període prolongat) i s'ha observat l'empitjorament molt significatiu de la resistència a flexió i la tenacitat d'aquells que posseeixen solament ciment Pòrtland com a component cimentant. Els compòsits GRC que contenen quantitats elevades de putzolana (60% de CVm) o mescles de putzolanes (50% CVm / 10% HSS, 50% CVm / 10% FCC) presenten una millora substancial de les propietats mecàniques respecte als GRC control. La millora d'aquests sistemes GRC amb elevats percentatges de putzolanes reactives s'han confirmat a través d'estudis físics i fisicoquímics: avaluació de densitat, absorció, estudis microscòpics (lupa i microscòpia electrònica de rastreig) i anàlisi termogravimètric. Pel que fa a la resposta dels compòsits GRC enfront de diferents dissolucions agressives, s'ha demostrat l'efecte beneficiós de la presència de putzolanes. Després de l'exposició dels morters de GRC a una dissolució de NH4Cl, el comportament mecànic dels morters putzolànics es millor que el morter GRC control: això es deu a la relació directa existent amb l'increment de la densitat i la disminució del grau d'absorció del compòsit amb la putzolana. Quan s¿ha avaluat les propietats dels morters de GRC després de la seva exposició a una dissolució H2SO4, s'observen diferències molt importants en l'evolució de la massa, resistència a flexió i tenacitat: els compòsits control són més afectats per l'acidesa del medi, de manera que la pèrdua de massa és molt significativa si es compara amb els GRC que presenten putzolanes. L'estada a l'empresa Saint Gobain Vetrotex, ha permès confirmar una gran similitud en els resultats obtinguts mitjançant els procediments seguits en el laboratori de la UPV (compostos de GRC amb premescla) comparats amb les pràctiques desenvolupades pel laboratori de materials de l'empresa (compostos de GRC projectat). S'han avaluat prototips per a la indústria de l'GRC projectat. / [EN] In the field of composite materials for construction, glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) is the most widely used, due to its excellent mechanical properties (resistance to bending and toughness). However, the durability of these composites has been demonstrated to be critical and alternatives need to be proposed. The used fibers, alkali-resistant (AR fibers, formed by grouping of filaments), are attacked by the aggressive medium imposed by the hydrated cement. An interesting alternative, from a technological point of view, is the incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials of pozzolanic behaviour. The purpose of this research is to study the influence of the different mineral additions in GRC mortars, observing the behaviour of the constituent elements of the material under normal curing conditions and controlled aging processes. Likewise, the behaviour of new composites subjected to different aggressive environments is analyzed, evaluating the durability and improvement of the compounds by determining their mechanical, chemical and physical properties. GRC specimens have been produced through the premix procedure and their mechanical properties (flexural strength, toughness, and modulus of elasticity) have been determined. Additionally, resistance gains have been quantified when comparing GRC composites based on Portland cement (control specimens) with others in which up to 60% of that cement has been replaced by pozzolanic additions. In order to improve the reactivity of pozzolans, in some cases an increase in its fineness has been implemented through grinding (ground fly ash, CVm) or sonication processes (sonicated silica fume, HSS). The GRC specimens have been subjected to an aging process (treatment in water at 55ºC for an extended period) and worsening of the flexural strength and toughness of those who only have Portland cement as cementitious component has been observed. GRC composites containing high amounts of pozzolan (60% CVm) or mixtures of pozzolans (50% CVm / 10% HSS, 50% CVm / 10% FCC) show a substantial improvement in mechanical properties compared to the control GRC. The improvement of these GRC systems with high percentages of reactive pozzolans have been confirmed through physical and physical-chemical studies: evaluation of density, absorption, microscopic studies (magnifying glass and scanning electron microscopy), and thermogravimetric analysis. Regarding the response of GRC composites against different aggressive solutions, the beneficial effect of the presence of pozzolans has been demonstrated. After the exposure of the GRC mortars to a NH4Cl solution, the mechanical behavior of pozzolanic mortars remains above that of the control GRC mortar: this is due to the direct relationship existing with the increase in density and the decrease in the absorption of the composite with the pozzolanic replacement. When evaluating the properties of GRC mortars after exposure to an H2SO4 solution, very important differences are observed in the evolution of the mass, flexural strength and toughness: the control composites are more affected by the acidity of the medium, so that the loss of mass is very significant when compared to the GRCs that present pozzolans. The stay at the Saint Gobain Vetrotex company has confirmed a great similarity to the results obtained by the procedures followed at the UPV laboratory (premixed GRC compounds) compared to the practices developed by the company's materials laboratory (composites of projected GRC). Scalable prototypes have been assessed for the projected GRC industry. / Lalinde Castrillón, LF. (2020).

Studies on Glass Fiber-Reinforced Composites for CAE-Driven Design of Impact Safety Countermeasures

Lakshmanan, P January 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Man-made materials such as fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) can be tailored for optimum performance in product design applications in terms of strength and weight. The current work is aimed at studying the behaviors of composite laminates based on E-glass CSM (Chopped Strand Mat) or WRM (Woven Roving Mat) plies with a polyester resin for impact protection applications. Detailed mechanical characterization of CSM and WRM laminates till failure is carried out for tensile, compressive and shear loads by varying manufacturing process, number of plies, and laminate thickness. The effect of fiber volume fraction on mechanical properties is shown. The efficacy of CSM and WRM laminates as energy- absorbing countermeasures is studied by performing quasi-static and axial impact tests on cylindrical tubes made of the stated FRCs. In addition to load-displacement and specific energy absorption attributes, failure modes are of interest in such studies. The potential of FRC laminates for protection against projectile impact is investigated by performing low velocity impact perforation tests with a falling tup fitted with an indentor, and medium to high velocity projectile impact tests in a gas gun-based device. The valuable results generated are used for the validation of nonlinear finite element-based CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) procedures including application of a multi-modal failure criterion for explicit dynamic analysis. The present study not only throws light on complex mechanical behavior of an important class of lightweight materials under static and dynamic loads, but also simulation tools for the design of impact safety countermeasures such as bullet-proof laminates and energy–absorbing components for automotive body structures.

Pesquisa do Estado de S?o Paulo (FAPESP) / The process of assembling the reinforcement and the density of the concrete in structural pieces demand time and displacement of labor. The use of reinforcement with fibers in partial replacement of the transverse reinforcement could reduce the time of manufacture and facilitate the densification of the parts. Given this scenario, this research aimed at the study of concrete reinforced with fibers and reinforced concrete beams, in order to verify their behavior. Traces of concrete reinforced with steel fibers and traces of concrete with alkali-resistant glass fibers were made. In addition, the asphaltic milling residue was used for partial replacement of the small and large aggregate in the percentage of 15%. The material characterization was performed according to ABNT standards. Tests were performed to evaluate the Compressive Strength, Indirect Traction, Elasticity Modulus, and Tenacity through the Barcelona and ASTM C-1399 Tests. The evaluation of the mechanical behavior was performed by means of four-point bending in reinforced concrete beams, aiming to show its behavior to the applicant efforts. The results show the positive effect of the fibers for concrete with residues in their composition, mainly with respect to the steel fibers. It was verified a greater performance of the fibers as the Residual Resistance of the concrete and its Tenacity. It was also apresentated the viability of the structural application of asphalt milling residue as partial replacement of natural aggregates. / O processo de montagem da armadura e do adensamento do concreto em pe?as estruturais demandam tempo e deslocamento de m?o de obra.

Avaliação da resistência à fratura de prótese parcial fixa provisória confeccionada sobre componentes do tipo UCLA em titânio - efeito de diversos reforços / Fracture resistance evaluation of provisional fixed partial denture made on titanium ucla components several reinforcements effect

Almonte, Thania Grisel Rodriguez 31 May 2005 (has links)
As restaurações provisórias no tratamento reabilitador oral são de suma importância. Por isso é preocupante que os materiais utilizados para a execução das mesmas sejam críticos com relação à sua resistência e longevidade, principalmente, quando estas são executadas em tratamentos prolongados e/ou em espaços desdentados extensos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar em 4 grupos reforçados, compostos por 9 espécimes cada um, a resistência e o modo de fratura, de uma resina acrílica poli(metilmetacrilato) auto-polimerizável (Dencor® - Clássico®, São Paulo, SP, Brasil) utilizada para restaurações provisórias quando reforçada com fibras de vidro (Fibrante® e Interlig® - Angelus®, Londrina, PR, Brasil), fibras de aramida (Kevlar® - Du Pont®, USA) y fio ortodôntico &#x2205; 0, 7mm. E um grupo controle sem nenhum tipo de reforço, com a mesma quantidade de corpos de prova. A análise dos resultados (ANOVA, p < 0,05), para o teste de resistência, mostrou haver diferença estatística entre os grupos. O teste de Tukey encontrou que os grupos reforçados, aqueles que alcançaram maior média de resistência à fratura foram os que utilizaram a fibra de vidro trançada pré-impregnada com resina composta foto-polimerizável, Interlig® (1083 N); a fibra de vidro unidirecional préimpregnada com dimetacrilato de glicol, Fibrante® (1022 N) e a fibra de poli(aramida) unidirecional sem pré-impregnação, Kevlar® 29, aumentando em 26%, 22% e 17%, respectivamente, esta resistência em relação ao grupo controle (800 N), não havendo diferença estatística significante entre eles. O grupo reforçado com fio de aço com &#x2205; 0,7 mm (871 N) apareceu em seguida com uma resistência somente 8% maior e semelhante àquela apresentada pelo grupo controle sem reforço. A análise das fraturas concorreu com a elaboração de um novo sistema de classificação dividindo-as em quatro tipos: Ausente, Parcial, Total Não Separada e Total Separada. As fraturas dos espécimes reforçados foram consideradas mais favoráveis ocorrendo, predominantemente, os tipos Ausente e Parcial. / Provisional restorations are of ultimate importance in the oral rehabilitation treatment. Thus, clinicians have to bear in mind that materials used for their fabrication are critical due to its longevity and strength, when these are done for longterm therapy and/or large edentulous spaces. The aim of this work was to evaluate the flexural resistance and fracture mode of an auto-cure polymethylmetacrilate resin (Dencor® - Classico® , Sao Paulo, SP, Brasil) used for provisional restorations and reinforced with four materials. Samples were divided in four groups of nine each, as the following: glass fiber (Fibrante® and Interlig® Angelus®, Londrina, PR, Brasil), aramide fibers (Kevlar® Du Pont®, USA), and orthodontic wire &#x2205; 0,7mm. one group whitout reinforcement served as control. Data was submitted to statistical analysis with one-way ANOVA (p<.05) test. Results showed statistically significant difference among the groups. Tukeys test showed that glass-fiber Interlig® exhibited the greatest value of flexural strength (1083 N); followed by unidirectional glycol dimetacrylate glass-fiber Fibrante® (1022 N) and aramid fiber Kevlar® (966 N). These values represent 26%, 22% and 17% in relation to the control group (800 N), being non statistically significant difference observed among them. The group with &#x2205; 0,7mm orthodontic wire (871 N) had a resistance only 8% higher and similar of that of control group without reinforcement. Fracture analysis was conducted by the following scale: absence, partial, complete without separation, and complete with separation. Fracture modes observed on reinforced samples were considered more favorable, with types absent and partial seeing more frequently.

Etude de l’effet du vieillissement thermique sur le comportement en fatigue ducomposite de poly (sulfure de phénylène) renforcé par des fibres de verre (PPS/FV) / Study of thermal aging effect on fatigue behaviors of a short glass fiber reinforced Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS/GF) composite

Zuo, Peiyuan 18 December 2018 (has links)
Dans ce travail, l’effet du vieillissement thermique sur le comportement en fatigue ducomposite de poly (sulfure de phénylène) renforcé par fibres de verre (PPS/FV) a été étudié. Ce matériau est d’abord étudié par différentes méthodes d’analyse afin de déterminer ses caractéristiques physicochimiqueset mécaniques. Ensuite, le matériau subit un vieillissement thermo-oxydatif accéléré à différentes températures comprises entre 100 °C et 200 °C. Certaines caractéristiques du matériau sont d’ailleurs suivies au cours du vieillissement. A partir des résultats obtenus, un mécanisme d’oxydation estproposé et un modèle cinétique est développé. La validité de ce modèle est vérifiée par les résultats expérimentaux, essentiellement obtenus par la spectrométrie infrarouge. L’effet du vieillissement sur lecomportement mécanique est étudié par les deux axes suivants : D’abord d’une manière indirecte en étudiant l’évolution de la morphologie de la phase cristalline au cours du temps et ensuite par la méthode directe. Dans cette méthode directe, premièrement, le comportement en fatigue et en traction-traction duPPS/FV a été étudié en faisant varier la fréquence et l’amplitude de la sollicitation. La courbe de Wöhler est tracée en fonction du nombre de cycles à la rupture. Il a été constaté que le vieillissement modifie lepositionnement et l’allure de la courbe de Wöhler. Ensuite les éprouvettes vieillies à différentes températures sont testées en fatigue (traction-traction) avec une amplitude maximale (σmax=40 MPa) et un rapport de chargement (R=0,1) afin de suivre l’influence de la dégradation thermo-oxydative au cours du vieillissement. Il a été constaté que l’oxydation a un effet néfaste sur le comportement en fatigue du PPS/FV. Ce matériau perd significativement de ses performances même au début du vieillissement etsurtout à haute température de vieillissement. La perte de la performance en fatigue du matériau s’accentue au fur et à mesure que le processus d’oxydation se poursuit. / In this work, the effect of thermal aging on the fatigue behavior of a glass fiber reinforced poly (phenylene sulfide) composite (PPS/GF) was studied. This material is first characterized by differentmethods of analysis to determine its physicochemical and mechanical characteristics. Subsequently, thematerial undergoes accelerated thermo-oxidative aging at different temperatures between 100 °C and 200 °C. Some characteristics of this material are followed during thermal aging. From the results obtained, an oxidation mechanism is proposed and a kinetic model is developed. The validity of this model is verifiedby the experimental results, essentially obtained by infrared spectrometry. The effect of thermal aging on mechanical behavior is studied in two ways: Firstly, indirect manner by studying the evolution of the morphology of the crystalline phase over time and subsequently by the direct method. In this directmethod, firstly the tension-tension fatigue behavior of PPS/GF was studied by varying the frequency and amplitude of stress. The Wöhler curve is plotted on the basis of the number of cycles at break. Thermalaging has been found to alter the position and shape of the Wöhler curve. Then the samples aged at different temperatures were tested by tension-tension fatigue with a maximum amplitude (σmax = 40 MPa)and a loading ratio (R = 0.1) to follow the influence of thermo-oxidative degradation during aging. It has been found that thermal aging has a detrimental effect on the fatigue behavior of PPS/GF. This material loses its performance significantly even at the beginning of aging, especially in high aging temperature.The loss of fatigue performance grows in the oven as the oxidation process continues.

Μη καταστροφικός έλεγχος για τη μελέτη της συσσώρευσης βλάβης σε σύνθετα υλικά ενισχυμένα με ίνες γυαλιού, με και χωρίς την παρουσία νανοσωληνίσκων άνθρακα

Σωτηριάδης, Γεώργιος 22 December 2009 (has links)
Τα σύνθετα υλικά οργανικής μήτρας ενισχυμένα με ίνες γυαλιού είναι μια κατηγορία υλικών που έχει υψηλό τεχνολογικό ενδιαφέρον τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες με πληθώρα εφαρμογών στην αεροπορική και διαστημική βιομηχανία, στην αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία, στη formula 1, στα σπορ και γενικότερα όπου οι απαιτήσεις για υψηλή επίδοση των υλικών συνδυάζονται με την απαίτηση για χαμηλό βάρος. Στην κατεύθυνση αυτή έχει συντελέσει και το διαρκώς μειούμενο κόστος παραγωγής των υλικών αυτών μέσω της χρήσης καινοτόμων τεχνικών. Η συνεχής εξέλιξη των υλικών αυτών οδηγεί σε βελτιωμένα υλικά ενισχυτικής και μητρικής φάσης αλλά και εντελώς καινούρια υλικά και προσεγγίσεις όπως είναι ενισχυτικές φάσεις στη νανοκλίμακα (nanofibers, nanotubes). Η εισαγωγή τέτοιων υλικών στη μήτρα συνθέτων υλικών αλλάζει τις μηχανικές και φυσικές τους ιδιότητες με τρόπο πολλές φορές ολοκληρωτικό. Είναι προφανές ότι η τεκμηριωμένη γνώση και ανάπτυξη μεθόδων μη καταστροφικού ελέγχου της δομικής ακεραιότητας αλλά και η γνώση της μηχανικής συμπεριφοράς μέσω της διαδικασίας εξέλιξης της βλάβης σε μια κατηγορία υλικών με τόσο σημαντικές εφαρμογές είναι ζητούμενο από την ερευνητική κοινότητα παγκοσμίως. Προς αυτήν την κατεύθυνση είναι και η συμβολή της παρούσας διατριβής. Μη καταστροφικές μέθοδοι και δοκιμές εφαρμόζονται εδώ και πολλά χρόνια σε σύνθετα υλικά οργανικής μήτρας με επιτυχία παρά την εγγενή ανομοιογένεια και ανισοτροπία που παρουσιάζουν. Ωστόσο πάντα παραμένει ισχυρή η ζήτηση για μεθόδους που θα βοηθήσουν προς την κατεύθυνση της αύξησης της αξιόπιστης χρήσης των υλικών αυτών μέσω της διαρκούς αποτίμησης και γνώσης της φέρουσας ικανότητάς τους. Η συσσώρευση της βλάβης σε σύνθετα υλικά οργανικής μήτρας που υπόκεινται σε μηχανική φόρτιση είναι ένα ζήτημα που έχει διερευνηθεί εκτενώς μέχρι σήμερα. Ωστόσο, η εισαγωγή ενίσχυσης (carbon nanotubes, CNT) στη μήτρα αλλάζει τους μηχανισμούς δημιουργίας και εξέλιξής της. Επίσης προστίθεται η δυνατότητα της μέτρησης μιας ιδιότητας που εμφανίζεται ως αποτέλεσμα της εισαγωγής αυτής και η οποία είναι η ηλεκτρική αγωγιμότητα. Ο βασικός λοιπόν σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής είναι η μελέτη της χρήσης μη καταστροφικών ελέγχων κατά τη διάρκεια μηχανικών δοκιμών συσσώρευσης βλάβης στα υλικά αυτά, καθώς επίσης και η εισαγωγή της μέτρησης της ηλεκτρικής αντίστασης τους ως ικανής μεθόδου παρακολούθησης και ποσοτικοποίησης της βλάβης αυτής. Η διερεύνηση της επιβελτίωσης των μηχανικών ιδιοτήτων λόγω της εισαγωγής των CNT στα υλικά αυτά μέσω της σύγκρισης με τις ιδιότητες που έχουν χωρίς την προσθήκη αυτή. Αναλυτικότερα οι στόχοι που επιδιώξαμε να πετύχουμε στα πλαίσια της διατριβής είναι οι ακόλουθοι: • Μελέτη της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας στα συγκεκριμένα θέματα. • Εκτέλεση ειδικά επιλεγμένων μηχανικών δοκιμών σε σύνθετα υλικά Glass/vinylester και Glass/vinylester με CNT (κυκλικά πειράματα φόρτισης – αποφόρτισης – επαναφόρτισης). • Χρήση εξελιγμένων μη καταστροφικών μεθόδων όπως η χρήση δεδομένων ταχύτητας διάδοσης υπερηχητικών ελαστικών κυμάτων (UT) και η ακουστική εκπομπή (AE) για την παρακολούθηση της βλάβης κατά τη διάρκεια των μηχανικών δοκιμών. • Διερεύνηση καταγραφών ηλεκτρικής αντίστασης ως δείκτη βλάβης του υλικού. • Δοκιμές θραυστομηχανικής συμπεριφοράς για την εκτίμηση της βελτίωσης των επιδόσεων του υλικού παρουσία των CNT. / Multi wall carbon nanotubes were used as an additive in the matrix of glass / vinylester composites, in order to improve their damage tolerance and provide a means for their damage assessment at any stage of their loading history. The improvement of the damage tolerance is expected to stem from the incorporation of an additional interfacial area that activates energy dissipation mechanisms such as interfacial sliding, fibre pull out and bridging as well as crack bifurcation and arrest; all these mechanisms are active at the nanoscale. The life monitoring is performed via the electrical resistance changes in the conductive carbon nanotube network within the composite matrix; this network follows any deformation of the composite providing real time strain monitoring and, at the same time, pinpoints all loci of failure through the local breach of the conductive path that lead to a monotonic increase in the overall resistance. The experimental findings verify both the increased damage tolerance of the doped composites and the reliable damage assessment of the composite at all stages of its loading history. Other Non - Destructive Techniques were utilized in order to detect and quantify the accumulating damage. Inverse scattering theory and phase velocity data were used in order to determine the elastic constants of the stifness matrix of the anisotropic material. Fracture toughness and fatigue life behaviour were investigated for both the material systems.

Efeito do tipo de cimento de fixação e configurações de retentores intra-radiculares na adesão à dentina radicular em diferentes profundidades

Pereira, Janaina Carla 21 August 2007 (has links)
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / This study evaluated the effect of different types of luting cement and post configuration on the bonding to intra-radicular dentin in different depths. One hundred and twenty roots received endodontic treatment and were post space preparation for fixation of glass fiber post in the configurations: serrated/parallel Reforpost X-Ray (S); and smooth/conical Exato Cônico (L). The posts were fixed with cements: RelyX ARC (ARC), RelyX Luting 2 (LU), RelyX Unicem (UN), Maxicem (MAX) and Cement-Post (CP). The roots were sectioned transversally, getting two disks of 1mm of thickness for third of the root portion: cervical (C), medium (M) and apical (A), and submitted to the micropush-out test with speed of 0.5mm/min. The bond strength values (MPa) were submitted to the analysis of variance in scheme of subdivided parcel and Tukey test (p0.05). There was significant difference among the cements types (p<0.0001), among the localizations (p<0.0001) and the interaction cement x localization was significant (p<0.0001). The post configuration did not influence the bond strength values. The cements LU and UN presented the highest values of bonding in all extension of root dentin. The cements ARC and CP presented similar bonding values in cervical third, however, the bond strength decreased in the crown-apex direction for the ARC. The cement MAX presented the lowest values of bonding. / Este estudo avaliou o efeito do tipo de cimento de fixação e da configuração de retentores intra-radiculares na adesão à dentina intra-radicular em diferentes profundidades. Cento e vinte raízes receberam tratamento endodôntico e foram aliviadas para fixação de retentores intra-radiculares de fibra de vidro nas configurações: serrilhado/paralelo Reforpost X-Ray (S); e liso/cônico Exato Cônico (L). Os pinos foram fixados com cimentos: RelyX ARC (ARC), RelyX Luting 2 (LU), RelyX Unicem (UN), Maxicem (MAX) e Cement-Post (CP). As raízes foram seccionadas transversalmente, obtendo-se 2 discos de 1mm de espessura por terço da porção radicular aliviada: cervical (C), médio (M) e apical (A), e submetidos ao teste de micropush-out com velocidade de 0,5mm/min. Os valores de resistência adesiva (MPa) foram submetidos à análise de variância em esquema de parcela subdividida e teste de Tukey (p<0,05). Houve diferença significativa entre os tipos de cimentos (p<0,0001), entre as localizações (p<0,0001) e a interação cimento x localização foi significativa (p<0,0001). A configuração do pino não influenciou nos valores de resistência adesiva. Os cimentos LU e UN apresentaram os maiores valores de adesão em toda extensão da dentina radicular. Os cimentos ARC e CP apresentaram valores de adesão no terço cervical semelhantes, contudo, a resistência adesiva decresceu no sentido coroa-ápice para o ARC. O cimento MAX apresentou os menores valores de adesão. / Mestre em Odontologia
