Recycling of Glass Fiber Composites

Krishnamoorthi, Ramesh, Shinzhao, Zhang January 2012 (has links)
Composites are the materials which can be used for a wide variety of applications andproducts such as sports equipment, aerospace and marine because of light and stiffnessproperties. Composites are often made from thermoset resin with glass fibers.In this study, two ways of recycling composites were evaluated, which are microwavepyrolysed composites (MGC) and mechanical composites (GC). These glass fibers weregoing to be compounded with Polypropylene (PP) or Maleic Anhydride ModifiedPolypropylene (MAPP) and then injection moulded the sample by Micro-compounder.In order to get better adhesion to the polymer, a coating was added. The Neoxil 5682-polypropylene water emulsion was evaluated.The samples were characterized by Tensile Testing, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA),Different Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) to find aoptimum combination of recycled glass fiber reinforced polymer.Microwave pyrolysis is a new research area. The glass fiber, polymer oil and gas can beobtained by heating the composite with microwaves to in an inert atmosphere. The polymeroil can be distillated and then evaluated with GC-MS; in order to obtain the chemicalcompositions.Keywords: Composites, grinded and microwave pyrolyse composites (MGC), grindedcomposites (GC), Polypropylene (PP), Maleic Anhydride Modified Polypropylene (MAPP),Micro-compounder, Tensile Testing, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Different ScanningCalorimetry (DSC), and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Microwave pyrolysis,polymer oil, distillation, GCMS Analysis. / Program: MSc in Resource Recovery - Sustainable Engineering

Contributions à la modélisation mécanique du comportement de mèches de renforts tissés à l'aide d'un schéma éléments finis implicite / Contributions to the mechanical modelling of glass fibre tows behavior with a finite elements implicit simulation scheme

Florimond, Charlotte 29 November 2013 (has links)
La simulation du procédé de fabrication de renforts fibreux secs est un enjeu majeur pour l’étude de l’élaboration de matériaux composites, dont l’utilisation dans les industries de pointe s’intensifie rapidement. Ainsi, l’influence du métier à tisser sur la qualité des renforts est primordiale dans la caractérisation de leurs propriétés mécaniques. Une campagne d’essais expérimentaux est tout d’abord réalisée, de manière à identifier les phénomènes physiques mis en jeu. Les différents modes de déformation de la mèche sont ainsi étudiés : élongation, compaction, cisaillement et distorsion. Est étudié également le comportement en flexion et en frottement, afin de mieux appréhender l’effet du procédé de tissage sur les mèches. Deux types de lois de comportement élastiques sont envisagés : une loi hypoélastique et une loi hyperélastique. Sont développées les propriétés de chacune d’entre elles, ainsi que les grandeurs caractéristiques nécessaires à leur implémentation dans le logiciel commercial ABAQUS/Standard. Les algorithmes de deux subroutines sont présentés, correspondant à l’une ou l’autre de ces lois. Le choix est fait de modéliser le comportement mécanique de la mèche à l’aide d’une loi hyperélastique isotrope transverse de type St-Venant, par l’intermédiaire de la subroutine ABAQUS/Standard UANISOHYPER_INV. Enfin, une identification des paramètres matériau à l’aide d’une méthode inverse est proposée. Sont comparés les résultats obtenus par simulation avec les résultats expérimentaux. La loi de comportement alors déterminée permet de mettre en place des simulations de procédé de tissage. / Simulating the manufacturing process of woven preforms is a major stack for understanding the development of composite materials, used in high performance industries. The effect of the weaving loom on the preforms is very important to caracterize their mechanicals properties. Experimental tests are realised to identify the physical phenomenon. Different deformation modes are studied : elongation, compaction, shear and distortion. The bending and friction behavior are also important to understand the effect of weaving process. Two constitutive laws are considered : a hypoelastic law and a hyperelastic law. An analyse of their properties is presented, and their implementation in a commercial software, ABAQUS/Standard, is detailed. In this purpose, two subroutines can be used. The modelisation of the mechanical behavior of the tows is finally realised with a transversely isotropic hyperelastic St-Venant model, with the subroutine ABAQUS/Standard UANISOHYPER_INV. To conclude, an identification method is presented and the simulated results are compared to experimental tests. The obtained consitutive behavior is finally used to simulate the weaving process.

Modélisation numérique du procédé de tissage des renforts fibreux pour matériaux composites / Numerical modelling of the weaving process for textile composite

Vilfayeau, Jérôme 13 March 2014 (has links)
L'industrie aéronautique doit faire face aux nouvelles exigences environnementales, tout particulièrement concernant la réduction de la consommation des énergies fossiles. L'utilisation de matériaux composites plus léger permet de répondre en partie à cette attente. Pour limiter les coûts lors de la fabrication et du développement des composites à renforts tissés 3D, il est nécessaire d'utiliser des outils de simulation performants. En particulier, les outils existants, qui discrétisent à une échelle mésoscopique l'architecture des tissus 3D, ne tiennent pas compte de l'influence du procédé de fabrication sur la constitution de la structure textile. Si des outils numériques dédiés à la modélisation du procédé de tressage et de tricotage sont disponibles, il n'en est rien concernant le tissage. Cette étude avait donc pour but de s'intéresser plus particulièrement à la simulation du prodécé de tissage pour pouvoir obtenir une structure de tissu sèche déformée numériquement. La production de différentes architectures de tissu en verre E dans notre laboratoire nous a permis d'observer les différents éléments en contact avec le fil ou le tissu sur la machine à tisser, par le biais de l'utilisation d'une caméra rapide par exemple. Le développement d'un modèle numérique par éléments finis reproduisant le procédé de tissage a été réalisé. Une loi de comportement isotrope transverse fut utilisée pour modéliser les fils de verre. Des premières simulations numériques encourageantes pour la fabrication d'un tissu d'armure toile et d'un tissu d'armure croisé 2-2 sont présentées et comparées avec les tissus réels produits correspondants. / The aeronautical industry faces new challenges regarding the reduction of fossil fuel consumption. One way to address this issue is to use lighter composite materials. The ability to predict the geometry and the mechanical properties of the unit cell is necessary in order to develop 3D reinforcements in composite materials for these aeronautical applications. There is a difficulty to get realistic geometries for these unit cells due to the complexity of their architecture. Currently, existing tools which model 3D fabrics at a meso scale don't take into account manufacturing process influence on the shape modification of the textile structure. There is already some numerical tools that can model the braiding or knitting process, but none have been developed for weaving so far. Consequently, this study deals with the numerical simulation of the weaving process to obtain a deformed dry fabric structure. During the weaving process of E-glass fabrics, achieved in our laboratory, it has been observed that large deformations led to the modification of transverse section of meshes, or local density changes, that can modify the fabrics mechanical resistance. For this reason, a numerical tool of the weaving process, based on finite element modelling, has been developped to predict these major deformations and their influences on the final textile structure. The correlation between numerical results and fabrics produced with glass fibres has been achieved for plain weave and 2-2 twill.

Širjovová, Veronika January 2019 (has links)
Diploma thesis deals with glass fiber surface modification using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in order to prepare functional interface that enhances the properties of polymer composites. The effect of deposition conditions on shear strength was observed with respect to the chemical composition of the deposited film. Thin films were deposited on planar substrates and fibers using monomer tetravinylsilane in a mixture with oxygen at selected power of plasma discharge. Chemical composition of prepared material was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy. Planar substrate film adhesion was measured using the scratch test. The composite sample was prepared by embedding the surface modified fibers in unsaturated polyester resin, followed by the curing process. The cured composite sample underwent the short beam shear test.

Facelift EDU / Facelift PDU

Růžičková, Tereza January 2020 (has links)
The theme of the diploma thesis is the solution of the pre-plant zone of the Dukovany nuclear power station. Creating a vision of how this space could develop further in the next 50 years and how it could work in a transitional phase during the construction of a new nuclear power plant unit. The subject of the thesis is the elaboration of an architectural study, which is based on an urban study. Urban study was processed within the framework of the pre-diploma thesis and solved mainly the overall problems of this area, the new transport connection, and the functional division of the whole area. The area was divided into three functional units, namely the transport zone, the administrative zone and the sports and education zone. At present, there are a lot of small structurally and functionally unsuitable buildings in this area. The diploma thesis deals with the design of new buildings with a clear functional use in the administrative zone, in the area in front of the main gatehouse. A new representative square was created, and three buildings are designed around it. The dominant feature of the whole area was a high-rise office building near the gatehouse. In front of the office building, towards the main road, the service building I was designed, which contains business and healthcare services. On the other side of the square was located the service building II, where there are technical services, such as workshops, warehouses and metrology. The last building solved within the diploma thesis is the building of sports and locker rooms of suppliers, which is designed behind the square near the greenery. New building copies mass of the only preserved building in this area, namely the building of the information centre. The designed building has a fitness centre and locker rooms of external workers of the power plant.

Creating material properties for thermoset injection molding simulation process

Tran, Ngoc Tu 17 March 2020 (has links)
Um den Spritzgießprozess zu simulieren, sind korrekte Materialdaten nötig. Diese Daten umfassen Viskositätsmodelle, Wärmekapazitätskoeffizienten, Wärmeleitfähigkeitskoeffizienten, PVT-Modelle und bei reaktiven Materialien Härtungsmodelle. Bei der Spritzgießsimulation von Thermoplasten sind die Materialdaten in der Regel in den Simulationstools verfügbar. Der Anwender kann problemlos Thermoplastmaterialdaten auswählen, die bereits in die Materialdatenbank der Simulationswerkzeuge eingebettet waren, um die gesamten Phasen des Thermoplastspritzgießprozesses zu simulieren. Bei der Duroplastspritzgießsimulation sind nur begrenzt Materialdaten vorhanden und selten aus der Datenbank der Simulationswerkzeuge verfügbar, da sie nicht nur bei der Messung rheologischer und thermischer Eigenschaften, sondern auch bei der Modellierung rheologischer und kinetischer mathematischer Modelle kompliziert sind. Daher ist es notwendig, eigene Materialdaten zu generieren. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, bedarf es einer umfangreichen Wissensbasis bei der Messung von Materialeigenschaften sowie der Erstellung eines Optimierungsalgorithmus´. Um den Prozess des duroplastischen Spritzgießens exakt zu simulieren, bedarf es zudem fundierter Kenntnisse über die Formfüllungseigenschaften dieser Materialien. Die Untersuchung des Fließverhaltens von duroplastischen Spritzgießmassen im Inneren der Kavität ist jedoch nicht ausreichend beschrieben. Bisher gab es noch keine veröffentlichten Hinweise, die zeigen, wie man aus experimentellen Messdaten (thermische und rheologische Daten) für den reaktiven Spritzgießsimulationsprozess komplette Materialdaten für Duroplaste erzeugen kann. Diese Probleme führen zu einer Abhängigkeit der Anwender von der Materialdatenbank der Simulationssoftware, was zu einer Einschränkung der Anwendung der Computersimulation in der duroplastischen Spritzgießsimulation und dem Vergleich zwischen experimentellen und Simulationsergebnissen führt. Darüber hinaus stellt sich die Frage, ob es beim Füllen der Kavität ein Wandgleiten zwischen Duroplastschmelze und Wandoberfläche gibt oder nicht. Aus diesem Grund wird die Wirkung des Wandgleitens auf die Kavitätenoberfläche bei der Simulation des duroplastischen Spritzgießens immer noch vernachlässigt. Die vorliegende Arbeit konzentriert sich auf drei wichtige wissenschaftliche Ziele. Das erste ist die Innovation eines neuen technischen Verfahrens zur physikalischen Erklärung des Formfüllverhaltens von duroplastischen Spritzgießmassen. Das zweite Hauptziel ist die Entwicklung einer numerischen Methode zur Erstellung eines duroplastischen Materialdatenblattes zur Simulation der Formfüllung von duroplastischen Spritzgießmassen. Schließlich wird die Erstellung von Simulationswerkzeugen auf der Grundlage der physikalischen Gegebenheiten und des erzeugten Materialdatenblattes durchgeführt. / To simulate the injection molding process, it is necessary to set material data. The material data for an injection molding process must include a viscosity model and its fitted coefficients, heat capacity coefficients, thermal conductivity coefficients, a PVT model and its coefficients, a curing model and its coefficients (only for reactive injection molding). With thermoplastics injection molding simulation, the material data is generally available from simulation tools. Users could easily choose thermoplastics material data that was already embedded in the material data bank of simulation tools to simulate the entire phases of thermoplastics injection molding process. However, with thermosets injection molding simulation, the material data is found in limited sources and seldom available from data bank of simulation tools because of complication not only in rheological and thermal properties measurement but also in modeling rheological and cure kinetics mathematical models. Therefore, with thermoset injection molding compounds that its material data bank has not been found in data bank of simulation tools, before setting material data, it is necessary to create its own material data that simulation packages do not supply a tool. Therefore, to solve this problem, it requires an extensive knowledge base in measurements of material properties as well as optimization algorithm. In addition, to simulate exactly the thermosets injection molding compound process, it requires a profound knowledge in the mold filling characteristics of thermoset injection molding compounds. However, investigation of flow behavior of thermosets injection molding compounds inside the mold has not been adequately described. Up to now, there has not been any article that shows a complete way to create thermoset material data from measured experimental data (thermal data and rheological data) for the reactive injection molding simulation process. These problems are leading to the users ‘dependency on the material data bank of simulation tools, leading to restriction in application of computer simulation in the thermoset injection molding simulation and comparison between experimental and simulation results. Furthermore, there is still a big question related to whether there is or no slip phenomenon between thermosets melt and the wall surface during filling the cavity, for which has not yet been found an exact answer. Because of this the effect of wall slip on the cavity surface is still ignored during thermoset injection molding simulation process. This thesis focused on three key scientific goals. The first one is innovation of a new technical method to explain the mold filling behavior of thermoset injection molding compounds physically. The second key goal is developing numerical method to create thermoset material data sheet for simulation of mold filling characterizations of thermoset injection molding compounds. Finally, creating a simulation tool base on the physical technique and generated material data sheet.

Interfacial adhesion in continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites : from micro-scale to macro-scale / Etude multi-échelle de matériaux composites à matrice acrylique

Beguinel, Johanna 10 June 2016 (has links)
L’intérêt croissant de l’industrie pour les matériaux composites thermoplastiques est motivé par leurs propriétés de thermoformabilité, de recyclabilité ainsi que leurs capacités de cadences de production élevées. Le développement de matériaux pré-imprégnés thermoplastiques, apparus dès les années 1980, s’est imposé comme un moyen efficace de contourner les fortes viscosités des polymères utilisés en réduisant la distance d’écoulement des polymères à l’état « fondu ». Cette étude s’est plus particulièrement intéressée au développement de composites à base de tissus de verre et de carbone pré-imprégnés par un latex acrylique, le TPREG I. En outre, les propriétés mécaniques élevées des matrices acryliques, alliées à un coût relativement faible, en font un matériau intéressant, de nature à permettre un saut technologique dans la conception et la fabrication de composites structuraux à matrice organique. Notre étude s’est concentrée sur la mesure de l’adhésion à l’interface fibre/matrice acrylique car cette région est au cœur du transfert de charge de la matrice vers les fibres et conditionne donc les propriétés mécaniques du composite. Nous avons choisi d’évaluer l’adhésion interfaciale en combinant des analyses de mouilllage avec des tests mécaniques aux échelles microscopique et macroscopique. Le test micromécanique de la microgoutte permet de mettre en évidence le rôle central de l’ensimage des fibres sur la contrainte de cisaillement interfaciale. L’adhésion thermodynamique, déterminé par des mesures d’énergie de surface, est en accord avec la contrainte de cisaillement et souligne l’influence de la polarité de l’ensimage. A l’échelle macroscopique, les essais de traction hors-axe sur composites unidirectionnels permettant de solliciter l’interface en cisaillement quasi-plan ont mis en exergue une corrélation entre les échelles micro et macro. L’étude a également permis de dégager une forte augmentation de l’adhésion grâce à une modification de la matrice acrylique, ainsi qu’une dégradation des propriétés interfaciales à l’échelle micro par vieillissement hydrolytique. Cette étude constitue une première base de données concernant les propriétés interfaciales de composites thermoplastiques acryliques et démontre l’importance d’une étude multi-échelles dans la conception de nouveaux composites. / The present study was initiated by the development of a new processing route, i.e. latex-dip impregnation, for thermoplastic (TP) acrylic semi-finished materials. The composites resulting from thermocompression of TPREG I plies were studied by focusing of interfacial adhesion. Indeed the fiber/matrix interface governs the stress transfer from matrix to fibers. Thus, a multi-scale analysis of acrylic matrix/fiber interfaces was conducted by considering microcomposites, as models for fiber-based composites, and unidirectional (UD)macro-composites. The study displayed various types of sized glass and carbon fibers. On one hand, the correlation between thermodynamic adhesion and practical adhesion, resulting from micromechanical testing, is discussed by highlighting the role of the physico-chemistry of the created interphase. Wetting and thermodynamical adhesion are driven by the polarity of the film former of the sizing. On the other hand, in-plane shear modulus values from off-axis tensile test results on UD composites are consistent with the quantitative analyses of the interfacial shear strength obtained from microcomposites. More specifically, both tests have enabled a differentiation of interface properties based on the fiber sizing nature for glass and carbon fiber-reinforced (micro-)composites. The study of overall mechanical and interface properties of glass and carbon fiber/acrylic composites revealed the need for tailoring interfacial adhesion. Modifications of the matrix led to successful increases of interfacial adhesion in glass fiber/acrylic composites. An additional hygrothermal ageing study evidenced a significant loss of interfacial shear strength at micro-scale which was not observed for UD composites. The results of this study are a first step towards a database of relevant interface properties of structural TP composites. Finally, the analyses of interfaces/phases at different scales demonstrate the importance of a multi-scale approach to tailor the final properties of composite parts.
