Mechanics of composite materials

A banana particulate reinforced polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composite was developed with low cost materials having an overall light-weight and good mechanical properties. The specimen composite material was produced with the banana (stem) particulate as reinforcement using compression molding. The composition with optimum mechanical property of 42 MPa was estimated to have a long term stress value of 25 MPa corresponding to 40% loss in strength over a period of 32 years. This composition has a formulation of 8%, 72% and 20% of banana stem particulates (reinforcement), PVC (matrix) and Kankara clay (filler) respectively with corresponding water absorption of 0.79%, Young’s Modulus of 1.3 GPa and a density of 1.24 g/cm 3 . Thermogravimetric analyses showed that constituents of reinforcement/filler in the composite increased the thermal stability of the composite by 38.6% over that of pure PVC. The composite has better creep stability at elevated temperatures than PVC. Long term TTS (time–temperature-superposition) performance prediction at 50 °C showed the composite satisfied WLF assumption with reduced stiffness to 0.65 GPa over an estimated period in excess of 100 years of usage indicating better long term performance than PVC pipe material – the stiffness could be much higher when used below 50 °C. Comparison with conventional piping materials showed the composite offered a price savings per meter length of 84% and 42% when compared with carbon steel and PVC material.

Results of experimental characterisation and modelling of mechanical behaviour of microcapsules for self-sensing polymer composites are presented Melamine–formaldehyde microcapsules were selected for this purpose The average diameter, size distribution, and shell thickness of microcapsules were evaluated from scanning electron microscopy images Compressive properties of the shell material were evaluated in several ways AFM measurements allowed estimating stiffness and strength of a single microcapsule In parallel, modelling of the mechanical behaviour of a single microcapsule was performed Buckling of a thin-walled spherical shell under external pressure was considered and closed-form solution in a linear statement was obtained The results of analytical calculations were compared with FEM modelling Two demonstrator thin-shells with the radius of centimetre scale, hollow and filled with water, were tested in compression between two rigid plates The results of their numerical analysis obtained by FEM models developed are in good agreement with experimental results

Experimental characterisation and modelling of mechanical behaviour of microcapsules

This paper presents the results of research related to the selection of materials for passive and active components of a three-layer piezoelectric cantilever converter. The transducer is intended for use in a low-pressure gas-phase injector executive system. To ensure the functionality of the injector, its flow characteristics and the effective range of valve opening had to be determined. Therefore, a spatial model of the complete injector was developed, and the necessary flow analyses were performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in Ansys Fluent environment. The opening and closing of the injector valve are controlled by a piezoelectric transducer. Thus, its static electromechanical characteristics were found in analytical form. On this basis, the energy demand of the converter, required to obtain the desired valve opening, was determined. Assuming a constant transducer geometry, 40 variants of material combinations were considered. In the performed analyses, it was assumed that the passive elements of the actuator are made of typical materials used in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMSs) (copper, nickel, silicon alloys and aluminum alloys). As for the active components of the converter, it was assumed that they could be made of polymeric or ceramic piezoelectric materials. On the basis of the performed tests, it was found that the energy demand is most influenced by the relative stiffness of the transducer materials (Young’s modulus ratio) and the piezoelectric constant of the active component (d31). Moreover, it was found that among the tested material combinations, the transducer made of silicon oxide and PTZ5H (soft piezoelectric ceramics) had the lowest energy consumption.

Von-Mises pressure yielding limit calculationmethod for thick wall pipe with safety factor could be usedas a design pressure calculation method and would be universalfor any wall thickness and diameter ratio pipes.The study showed us, that ASME, DNV, ISO andСНиП standards are designed for thin wall pipes and canbe over thick wall pipes Von-Mises criteria. It happensbecause in methodology for thin wall pipes is no radialstress.The purposed method can be used for thin andthick wall pipes.The safety factor for design pressure in the purposedmethod is used from appropriate standard.

Comparison of pipe internal pressure calculation methods based on design pressure and yield strength

Experimental study of deformation behaviour of sandwich structures with a honeycomb core in the cases of quasi-static loading was carried out. The object of investigation was the static bending of the sandwich composite used for safety important structures made of woven glass fibre and polyvinylester resin composite facesheets with a polypropylene hexagonal honeycomb core. The results were obtained using equations of laminate theory; modified equations of beam theory were compared to experimental ones. As the analytically obtained results were in good agreement with the experimentally obtained ones, this methodology was used for the strength analysis of the investigated structure. The influence of geometrical parameters on the static behaviour of the sandwich structure was evaluated and their dependence on strength properties of the layered structure was assessed.

Finite element simulations were performed to study the stress state of 2D and 3D microstructural models of porous soft material under tensile loading by constant strain. The differences of stresses of 2D RVEs and 3D RVE cross-section identical to 2D RVE were obtained. The results showed that the solution of 2D problem provides a clear tendency of 3D problem solution. However, the quite complete agreement of the results was not observed. If 2D model represents well the geometric properties of 3D model, the rigorous prediction of deformation behaviour of volumetric material could be done using 2D RVE. The difference between stresses of 2D and 3D RVEs did not exceed 10 % in this case. If 2D RVE roughly defines all geometric properties of 3D model, only the tendency of the stress distribution and the value could be evaluated in 2D RVE because the difference between stresses of 2D and 3D RVEs can exceed 10 %.
