In this paper, based on micromechanics, fourpoint bending numerical models with and without glass fiber of different interfacial strength have been set up to simulate the damage process of GFRP reinforced concrete beam. The results show that the higher the interfacial strength is, the higher the ultimate bearing capacity of beams, and the less the opening width and height of cracks will be reached. Furthermore, mixing of glass fibers has less influence on the damage process when the interfacial strength is weak, however, it can help to improve the ultimate bearing capacity of the beams, retard the expansion of cracks and improve the toughness when the interfacial strength is high.展开更多

The experimental result shows that the peak load, the cracking load and the stiffness before cracking increase with the interfacial strength. Furthermore, the specimen with strong interface presents high brittleness during the failure process, while both bearing capability and ductility could be found in the specimen with moderate interfacial strength.展开更多

To make such pull-out measurements, however, the length of embedded fiber must be small enough so that the fiber does not break before it is pulled freely. This is difficult to achieve by conventional methods with fibers of small diameter, such as the carbon fibers. In this paper, a fiber pull-out experiment is described. Specialized apparatus in our laboratory, as well as this technique for sample preparation are discussed in detail. The interfacial shear strength of carbon fiber/resin matrix composites is analyzed quantitatively by using the finite-element method. The SFPOT system has been proved to be an available means for the study of interfacial properties for carbon fiber/resin matrix composites.展开更多

The influence of rolling on interfacial mechanical property of this bonding plate was studied. The results show that, for steel-mushy Al-7graphite bonding plate which is made up of 1.2 mm in thickness 08AI steel plate and 2.0 mm in thickness Al-7graphite layer, there is a nonlinear relationship between interfacial shear strength of bonding plate and relative reduction of rolling. When relative reduction of rolling is smaller than 2.59%, with the increasing of relative reduction, interfacial shear strength of bonding plate increases gradually. When relative reduction of rolling is bigger than 2.59%, with the increasing of relative reduction, interfacial shear strength of bonding plate decreases continuously. When relative reduction of rolling is 2.59%, the largest interfacial shear strength 77.0 MPa can be obtained.展开更多

The surface of the steel plate was defatted, descaled, immersed (inK_2ZrF_6 flux aqueous solution) and stoved. Al-20Sn slurry was prepared using the electromagneticmechanical starring method. The interfacial mechanical property of the bonding plate was researchedto determine the relationship between the diffusion time and the interfacial shear strength. Inorder to identify the mechanism of bonding, the interfacial structure of the bonding plate wasstudied. The results show that at a prebeat temperature of the steel plate of 505 deg C and a solidfraction of Al-20Sn slurry of 35 percent, the relationship between the interfacial shear strength Sand the diffusion time t is S=28.8+4.3t-0.134t^2 +0.0011t^3. When the diffusion time is 22 s, thelargest interfacial shear strength is 70.3 MPa, and the corresponding interface is a new one whichis made up of Fe-Al compound and Fe-Al solid solution alternatively and in a right proportion. Inthis interfacial structure, the interfacial embrittlement does not happen and Fe-Al compound canplay its role in strong combination adequately.展开更多

The macrostructures, microstructures, temperature distribution, compositions distribution and the mechanical properties at the bonding interface were investigated in detail. The results show that the cladding billet with few defects could be obtained by semi-continuous casting process. At the interface, diffusion layer of about 10μm on average formed between the two alloys due to the diffusion of alloy elements in the temperature range from 596 to 632 °C. From the side of AA4045 to the side of AA3003, the Si content has a trend to decrease, while the Mn content has a trend to increase gradually. Tensile strength of the cladding billet reaches 103.7 MPa, the fractured position is located on the AA3003 side, and the shearing strength is 91.1 MPa, revealing that the two alloys were combined metallurgically by mutual diffusion of alloy elements.展开更多

Using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique, the dynamic mechanicalbehaviour of ECO-RPC was investigated under different strain rates. The results show that the staticmechanical behaviour of ECO-RPC increases with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction andcuring ages. The type of ECO-RPC with the substitution of 25% ultra-fine slag, 25% ultra-fine flyash and 10% silica fume is better than the others with compressive strength, flexural strength, andfracture energy more than 200 MPa, 60 MPa and 30 kJ/m^2, respectively. ECO-RPC has excellent strainrate stiffening effects under dynamic load. Its peak stress, peak strain and the area understrain-stress curve increase with the increase of strain rate. Its fracture pattern changes frombrittleness to toughness under high strain rates.展开更多

The initial Ti3SiC2 particles are 11 μm in diameter on an average. The Cu plating was carried out at middle temperature （62-65℃） with the application of ultrasonic agitation. The copper deposition rate was determined by measuring the weight gain of the powder after plating. It has been found that the pretreatment of Ti3SiC2 powder is very important to obtain copper nanoparticles on the surface of Ti3SiC2 The optimum procedure before plating aimed to add activated sites and the adjustment of the traditional composition of the electroless copper plating bath could decelerate the copper deposition rate to 0.8 gm/h. X-ray diffraction （XRD） indicates that the chemical composition of the plating layer is copper. SEM images show that the surface of the Ti3SiC2 particles is successfully coated with continuous copper layer. The wetting property between the copper matrix and Ti3SiC2 can be improved so as to increase the interfacial strength.展开更多

The RVE having a 3D realistic microstructure was constructed via computational modeling technique, in which an interface phase with an average thickness of 50 nm was generated for assessing the effects of interracial properties. Modeling results showed that the RVE based FE model was more accurate than the unit cell based one. Based on the RVE, the predicted stress-strain curve and the fracture morphology agreed well with the experimental results. Furthermore, lower interface strength resulted in lower flow stress and ductile damage of interface phase, thereby leading to decreased elongation. It was revealed that the stress concentration factor of SiC was -2.0： the average stress in SiC particles reached -1200 MPa, while that of the composite reached -600 MPa.展开更多

The results show that the sequence of process parameters in order of greatest influence on interfacial tensile strength was rolling temperature, area reduction, core material diameter, forming angle and spreading angle. At the interface of the combined materials, tensile strength decreased as forming angle and spreading angle increased, whereas the tensile strength first increased and then decreased as area reduction, rolling temperature and core material diameter increased.
文摘Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)fiber is a new kind of high-performance fiber.Due to its excellent physical and chemical characteristics,it is widely used in various fields.However,the surface UHMWPE fiber is smooth and demonstrates no-polar groups.The weak interfacial adhesion between fiber and resin seri-ously restricts the applications of UHMWPE fiber.Therefore,the surface modification treatments of UHMWPE fiber are used to improve the interfacial adhesion strength.The modified method by adding nanomaterials elu-cidates the easy fabrication,advanced equipment and proper technology.Thus,the progress of UHMWPE nanocomposite fibers prepared via adding various nanofillers are reviewed.Meanwhile,the effects of other various methods on surface modification are also reviewed.This work advances the various design strategies about nano technologies on improving interfacial adhesion performance via treatment methodologies.

文摘The bonding of a steel plate to Al-20Sn slurry was conducted using thecasting rolling technique. The surface of the steel plate was defatted, descaled, immersed (inK_2ZrF_6 flux aqueous solution) and stoved. Al-20Sn slurry was prepared using the electromagneticmechanical starring method. The interfacial mechanical property of the bonding plate was researchedto determine the relationship between the diffusion time and the interfacial shear strength. Inorder to identify the mechanism of bonding, the interfacial structure of the bonding plate wasstudied. The results show that at a prebeat temperature of the steel plate of 505 deg C and a solidfraction of Al-20Sn slurry of 35 percent, the relationship between the interfacial shear strength Sand the diffusion time t is S=28.8+4.3t-0.134t^2 +0.0011t^3. When the diffusion time is 22 s, thelargest interfacial shear strength is 70.3 MPa, and the corresponding interface is a new one whichis made up of Fe-Al compound and Fe-Al solid solution alternatively and in a right proportion. Inthis interfacial structure, the interfacial embrittlement does not happen and Fe-Al compound canplay its role in strong combination adequately.
文摘Coalbeds are characterized by high organic matter content,presence of joints and smooth joint surface,which lead to weak bonding between coal and set cement and poor cementing quality of coalbeds,and consequently the economic and effective development of coalbed methane(CBM)is restricted seriously.In this paper,components,compositions and wetting characteristics of coal were analyzed in order to improve the water wettability of coal,the effects of different surfactants and their concentration and soaking time on the surface wetting angle of coal and interfacial bonding strength were tested and measured.The high-efficiency hydrophilic wettability modifier was optimized.The strengthened coalbed bonding prepad fluid system was developed and applied practically in the Qinshui Basin,Shanxi province.The results of laboratory tests and field applications show that the compact adsorption of surfactant containing ether and sulfate radical on the surface of coal can convert the surface wettability into strong hydrophilicity at the concentration of 0.3%within 30 s,thus improving significantly the interface bonding strength(up to 65.5%)between coal and set cement.The field application in CBM well cementing shows that the strengthened coalbed bonding prepad fluid can improve the cementing quality from unqualified level to high level,and play a significant role in improving CBM hole interval cementing quality.It is concluded that this technology provides an effective guarantee for coalbed cementing quality improvement and smooth implementation of stimulation measures like fracturing.

文摘In this study,nanoindentation techniques,macroscopic mechanical testing,and the Mori-Tanaka theoretical model are integrated to analyze the thermal‒mechanical behavior of granite systematically.The experimental results demonstrate that quartz and feldspar maintain relatively stable mechanical properties up to 600℃,whereas significant weakening at mineral interfaces occurs between 400℃ and 500℃,resulting in a greater than 50%reduction in the overall strength and Young's modulus at 600℃.A two-step homogenization approach based on the Mori‒Tanaka framework is proposed,which incorporates a three-phase composite sphere model to characterize the interfacial softening effects.This improved method enhances the prediction accuracy of high-temperature mechanical performance,achieving more than 50%improvement in alignment with experimental data.Despite some deviations above 500℃,the model provides direction for further refinement.This investigation advances the understanding of heterogeneous rock mechanical behavior in high-temperature environments and provides critical theoretical support for geothermal energy development and nuclear waste disposal applications.

文摘AA4045/AA3003 cladding billet was prepared by direct chill semi-continuous casting process. The macrostructures, microstructures, temperature distribution, compositions distribution and the mechanical properties at the bonding interface were investigated in detail. The results show that the cladding billet with few defects could be obtained by semi-continuous casting process. At the interface, diffusion layer of about 10μm on average formed between the two alloys due to the diffusion of alloy elements in the temperature range from 596 to 632 °C. From the side of AA4045 to the side of AA3003, the Si content has a trend to decrease, while the Mn content has a trend to increase gradually. Tensile strength of the cladding billet reaches 103.7 MPa, the fractured position is located on the AA3003 side, and the shearing strength is 91.1 MPa, revealing that the two alloys were combined metallurgically by mutual diffusion of alloy elements.
文摘Ecological reactive powder concrete (ECO-RPC) with small sized and differentvolume fraction steel fibers was prepared by substitution of ultra-fine industrial waste powder for50% to 60% cement by weight and replacement of ground fine quartz sand with natural fine aggregate.The effect of steel fiber volume fraction and curing ages on the static mechanical behaviour ofECO-RPC was studied. Using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique, the dynamic mechanicalbehaviour of ECO-RPC was investigated under different strain rates. The results show that the staticmechanical behaviour of ECO-RPC increases with the increase of steel fiber volume fraction andcuring ages. The type of ECO-RPC with the substitution of 25% ultra-fine slag, 25% ultra-fine flyash and 10% silica fume is better than the others with compressive strength, flexural strength, andfracture energy more than 200 MPa, 60 MPa and 30 kJ/m^2, respectively. ECO-RPC has excellent strainrate stiffening effects under dynamic load. Its peak stress, peak strain and the area understrain-stress curve increase with the increase of strain rate. Its fracture pattern changes frombrittleness to toughness under high strain rates.
文摘In this article, a new type of Cu-Ti3SiC2 composite powder prepared using the electroless plating technique was introduced. The initial Ti3SiC2 particles are 11 μm in diameter on an average. The Cu plating was carried out at middle temperature （62-65℃） with the application of ultrasonic agitation. The copper deposition rate was determined by measuring the weight gain of the powder after plating. It has been found that the pretreatment of Ti3SiC2 powder is very important to obtain copper nanoparticles on the surface of Ti3SiC2 The optimum procedure before plating aimed to add activated sites and the adjustment of the traditional composition of the electroless copper plating bath could decelerate the copper deposition rate to 0.8 gm/h. X-ray diffraction （XRD） indicates that the chemical composition of the plating layer is copper. SEM images show that the surface of the Ti3SiC2 particles is successfully coated with continuous copper layer. The wetting property between the copper matrix and Ti3SiC2 can be improved so as to increase the interfacial strength.

文摘The deformation, damage and failure behaviors of 17 vol.% SiCp/2009AI composite were studied by micro- scopic finite element （FE） models based on a representative volume element （RVE） and a unit cell. The RVE having a 3D realistic microstructure was constructed via computational modeling technique, in which an interface phase with an average thickness of 50 nm was generated for assessing the effects of interracial properties. Modeling results showed that the RVE based FE model was more accurate than the unit cell based one. Based on the RVE, the predicted stress-strain curve and the fracture morphology agreed well with the experimental results. Furthermore, lower interface strength resulted in lower flow stress and ductile damage of interface phase, thereby leading to decreased elongation. It was revealed that the stress concentration factor of SiC was -2.0： the average stress in SiC particles reached -1200 MPa, while that of the composite reached -600 MPa.

文摘In order to increase both the interfacial strength and interphase region strength between TiNi wires and shape memory epoxy,a novel interface structure including aminated CNTs was designed.The morphology shows that after electroplating and etching,continuous and homogeneous concave-convex layers form on the surface of astreated TiNi wires,meanwhile aminated CNTs were planted on the surface which could react with shape memory epoxy at the interface region.The interfacial shear strength increases first with the CNT content rising but then a dramatic drop happens,and the maximum is obtained at CNT content of 0.6 g·L^(-1),which is about twice the result of acid etching TiNi wires.
