文摘This study presents a framework involving statistical modeling and machine learning to accurately predict and optimize the mechanical and damping properties of hybrid granite-epoxy(G-E)composites reinforced with cast iron(CI)filler particles.Hybrid G-E composite with added cast iron(CI)filler particles enhances stiffness,strength,and vibration damping,offering enhanced performance for vibration-sensitive engineering applications.Unlike conventional approaches,this work simultaneously employs Artificial Neural Networks(ANN)for highaccuracy property prediction and Response Surface Methodology(RSM)for in-depth analysis of factor interactions and optimization.A total of 24 experimental test data sets of varying input factors(granite weight%,epoxy weight%,and CI filler weight%)were utilized to train and test the prediction models using an ANN approach and further analyze the interaction effects using RSM.Mechanical properties,including tensile,compressive,and flexural strength,elastic modulus,density and damping properties measured under various testing conditions,were set as output parameters for prediction.This study analyzed and optimized the performance of the ANN model using Bayesian Regularization and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithms to identify the best performing number of neurons in the hidden layer for achieving the highest prediction accuracy.The proposed ANN framework achieved an exceptional average determination coefficient(R2)exceeding 99%,with Bayesian Regularization demonstrating remarkable stability in the 22-neuron range and minimal variation across all properties.RSM and ANN form a powerful framework for predicting and optimizing hybrid G-E composite properties,enabling efficient design for vibration-critical applications with reduced experimental effort and performance optimization.

文摘Incorporating ceramic particles into metal matrices is a proven strategy for boosting mechanical properties and wear resistance.The reinforcement potential of tungsten carbide(WC)particles in 316L stainless steel is revealed,utilizing selective laser melting(SLM)to fabricate composites with 5 and 10 vol.%WC.The WC incorporation markedly alters the composite’s microstructure and mechanical attributes.Notably,5 vol.%WC-316L composite exhibits a refined submicron cellular structure,averaging 0.67μm in grain size.Elemental diffusion at WC-316L interface formed a 0.8μm gradient transition layer enriched with M_(2)C carbides(Fe,Cr,W),ensuring robust metallurgical bonding.Compared with unreinforced 316L,5%WC composite exhibits a 70%increase in tensile strength,reaching 1012.6 MPa,and a 25.3%rise in hardness,while maintaining acceptable ductility.10%WC composite achieves a 70.8%hardness enhancement,albeit with reduced elongation.Friction coefficient is reduced by up to 17.3%,and the wear mechanism shifts from adhesive to abrasive,significantly improving wear resistance.
文摘In order to adjust some properties of cement grout or concrete,some mineral admixtures are usually added in the preparation.Admixtures can reduce the cement consumption and save the cost,and also adjust the workability of the material,improve the strength and durability of the cement stone,or reduce hydration heat of the composite cement.At present,the content of fly ash or slag is generally less than 50%among the composite cementitious materials that have been studied more,but there is little research on composite cementitious materials with large mineral admixture.In this paper,XRD,SEM,and adiabatic temperature rise tests were used to discuss hydration products and mechanism of composite cement grout with 90%content of fly ash and slag.The results show that the hydration of the composite cement grout is an alkali-activated hydration reaction,and the hydration products are mainly amorphous substances such as hydrated calcium silicate or hydrated calcium aluminate gel.The hydration reaction temperature rise is much lower than that of ordinary cement grout,and the time of the temperature peak is significantly delayed.

文摘The extraordinary strength of metal/graphene composites is significantly determined by the characteristic size,distribution and morphology of graphene.However,the effect of the graphene size/distribution on the mechanical properties and related strengthening mechanisms has not been fully elucidated.Herein,under the same volume fraction and distribution conditions of graphene,molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the effect of graphene sheet size on the hardness and deformation behavior of Cu/graphene composites under complex stress field.Two models of pure single crystalline Cu and graphene fully covered Cu matrix composite were constructed for comparison.The results show that the strengthening effect changes with varying the graphene sheet size.Besides the graphene dislocation blocking effect and the load-bearing effect,the deformation mechanisms change from stacking fault tetrahedron,dislocation bypassing and dislocation cutting to dislocation nucleation in turn with decreasing the graphene sheet size.The hardness of Cu/graphene composite,with the graphene sheet not completely covering the metal matrix,can even be higher than that of the fully covered composite.The extra strengthening mechanisms of dislocation bypassing mechanism and the stacking fault tetrahedra pinning dislocation mechanism contribute to the increase in hardness.

文摘To investigate the instability mechanisms of heterogeneous geological structures in goaf area roofs,three-point bending tests(TPBT)and numerical simulations are performed on composite coal-rock(CCR).Acoustic emission(AE)monitoring is employed to analyze key parameters,establishing a multiparameter quantitative system for CCR fracture processes.The impact of lithological homogeneity on fracture evolution and energy migration is examined.Results show that CCR exhibits a three-stage mechanical response:weak contact,strong contact,and post-peak stages,each with distinct crack evolution patterns.A positive correlation is found between lithological homogeneity and tensile crack proportion.No significant correlation is observed between AE average frequency(AF)and AE counts across different lithological CCR;however,peak frequency(PF)displays clear lithology-dependent characteristics.The regulatory effect of the rock homogeneity coefficient(φ)on crack deriva tion mechanisms is quantfied,yielding mathematical relationships between fracture strength(f),crack propagation path angle(β),crack fractal dimension(D),andφ.The study highlights how different fracture modes alter energy migration pathways,confirming the coupling effect of grain distribution on mechanical response and crack propagation,and the influence of parameterφon critical energy release zones.These findings offer new insights into CCR failure mechanisms for mining safety.

文摘This paper focuses on the high-temperature tensile failure mechanism of RTM(resin transfer moulding)-made symmetric and asymmetric composite T-joints.The failure modes as well as the load-displacement curves of symmetric(three specimens)and asymmetric(three specimens)composite T-joints were determined by tensile tests at room and high temperatures.Progressive damage models(PDMs)of symmetric and asymmetric composite T-joints at room and high temperatures were established based on mixed criteria,and the result predicted from the aforementioned PDMs were compared with experimental data.The predicted initial and final failure loads and failure modes are in good agreement with the experimental results.The failure mechanisms of composite T-joints at different temperatures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy.The results reveal that while the failure mode of asymmetric T-joints at high temperatures resembles that at room temperature,there is a difference in the failure modes of symmetric T-joints.The ultimate failure load of symmetric and asymmetric T-joints at elevated temperatures increases and reduces by 18.4%and 4.97%,albeit with a more discrete distri-bution.This work is expected to provide us with more knowledge about the usability of composite T-joints in elevated temperature environments.

文摘To address the issue of post-rolling warpage caused by differences in material properties during the composite rolling process of steel/aluminum thin strips,stress analysis was conducted at the entrance,middle,and exit sides of the rolling deformation zone for both steel and aluminum units.The unequal characteristics of the upper and lower contact arc lengths and the micromoment phenomenon,generated by the transfer of force between adjacent units on the aluminum side,were analyzed to explain the mechanical mechanism of warpage in the composite rolling process.A formula for calculating the contact arc length in the upper and lower rolling deformation zones was derived using the relationships among the contact arc length,rolling force,roll parameters,and strip parameters.On the basis of the deformation characteristics of steel and aluminum in the rolling deformation zone,the concepts of the inlet half-rolling zone,relative sliding zone,rolling composite zone,and outlet half-rolling zone were proposed.A quantitative model for characterizing warpage during the composite rolling of steel/aluminum composite thin strips was established.These results indicate that adjusting the diameters of the upper and lower work rolls is an effective method for controlling warpage defects and that warpage plays a dominant role in steel/aluminum thin strip composite rolling.Furthermore,finite element simulations of steel/aluminum composites rolled with different upper and lower roll diameters verified the deformation mechanism and influence of roll diameter differences on warpage defects.

文摘Embedding optical fiber sensors into composite materials offers the advantage of real-time structural monitoring.However,there is an order-of-magnitude difference in diameter between optical fibers and reinforcing fibers,and the detailed mechanism of how embedded optical fibers affect the micromechanical behavior and damage failure processes within composite materials remains unclear.This paper presents a micromechanical simulation analysis of composite materials embedded with optical fibers.By constructing representative volume elements(RVEs)with randomly distributed reinforcing fibers,the optical fiber,the matrix,and the interface phase,the micromechanical behavior and damage evolution under transverse tensile and compressive loads are explored.The study finds that the presence of embedded optical fibers significantly influences the initiation and propagation of microscopic damage within the composites.Under transverse tension,the fiber-matrix interface cracks first,followed by plastic cracking in the matrix surrounding the fibers,forming micro-cracks.Eventually,these cracks connect with the debonded areas at the fiber-matrix interface to form a dominant crack that spans the entire model.Under transverse compression,plastic cracking first occurs in the resin surrounding the optical fibers,connecting with the interface debonding areas between the optical fibers and the matrix to form two parallel shear bands.Additionally,it is observed that the strength of the interface between the optical fiber and the matrix critically affects the simulation results.The simulated damage morphologies align closely with those observed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM).These findings offer theoretical insights that can inform the design and fabrication of smart composite materials with embedded optical fiber sensors for advanced structural health monitoring.

文摘The use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)composite in the design of lightweight protective equipment,has gained a lot of interest.However,there is an urgent need to understand the ballistic response mechanism and theoretical prediction model of performance.This paper explores the ballistic response mechanism of UHMWPE composite through experimental and simulation analyses.Then,a resistance-driven modeling method was proposed to establish a theoretical model for predicting the bulletproof performance.The ballistic response mechanism of UHMWPE composite encompassed three fundamental modes:local response,structural response,and coupled response.The occurrence ratio of these fundamental response modes during impact was dependent on the projectile velocity and laminate thickness.The bulletproof performance of laminate under different response modes was assessed based on the penetration depth of the projectile,the bulging height on the rear face of the laminate,the thickness of remaining sub-laminate,and residual velocity of the projectile.The absolute deviations of bulletproof performance indicator between theoretical value and experimental value were well within 11.13%,demonstrating that the established evaluation model possessed high degree of prediction accuracy.

文摘To investigate the key factors that cause ZrB_(2)/AA6111 and(ZrB_(2)+Al_(3)Zr)/AA6111 aluminum matrix composites(AMCs)made via in situ reaction to behave differently in terms of friction and wear.Room-temperature dry sliding tribological behavior of AA6111 Al alloys,ZrB_(2)/AA6111,and(ZrB_(2)+Al_(3)Zr)/AA6111 AMCs against silicon nitride(Si_(3)N_(4))counterparts were investigated.The study showed that AA6111/Al alloy had the highest wear rate and the most unstable coefficient of friction(COF),indicating the worst abrasion resistance.(ZrB_(2)+Al_(3)Zr)/AA6111 AMCs exhibit a lower wear rate and higher COF than ZrB_(2)/AA6111 AMCs.The result proved that the Al_(3)Zr particles prepared by the in-situ reaction are strongly bonded(lattice misfitδ=2.7%)to the Al matrix and are not easily stripped from the substrate.ZrB_(2)/AA6111 AMCs exhibited a lower COF attributed to the tribochemical reaction inducing the formation of more boric acid(H_(3)BO_(3))films with a graphite-like structure having a lubricating effect.

文摘To address the poor mechanical properties of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)and enhance the understanding of the reinforcement mechanisms of aerogel network structures in rubber matrices,this study reinforced PDMS using an ordered interconnected three-dimensional montmorillonite(MMT)aerogel network.The average pore diameter of the aerogels was successfully reduced from 11.53μm to 2.51μm by adjusting the ratio of poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)to MMT via directional freezing.Changes in the aerogel network were observed in field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM)images.After vacuum impregnation,the aerogel network structure of the composites was observed using FESEM.Tensile tests indicated that as the pore diameter decreased,the elongation at break of the composites first increased to a peak of329.61%before decreasing,while the tensile strength and Young's modulus continuously increased to their maximum values of 6.29 MPa and24.67 MPa,respectively.Meanwhile,FESEM images of the tensile cracks and fracture surfaces showed that with a reduction in aerogel pore diameter,the degrees of crack deflection and interfacial debonding increased,presenting a rougher fracture surface.These phenomena enable the composites to dissipate substantial energy during tension,thus effectively improving the mechanical strength of the composites.The present work elucidates the bearing of ordered three-dimensional aerogel network structures on the performance of rubber matrices and provides crucial theoretical insights and technical guidance for the creation and optimization of high-performance PDMS-based composites.

文摘Investigating the influence of radiation on glass fibre composites is essential for their use in space and aerospace environment.Gaining insight into the damage mechanisms caused by gamma irradiation,can improve the safety and resilience of structures.This paper is aimed at investigating the failure mode and damage of gamma-irradiated repurposed pultruded glass fibre-reinforced polyester subjected to lowvelocity impact using three types of non-destructive techniques.Three sets of differently layered configurations(CRC,WCRW,W2CR2C)consisting of chopped(c),roving(r),and weaved(w)fibre-reinforced polyester are applied in this study.Drop hammer test is applied to evaluate the low-impact resistance properties of Gamma-irradiated composite at 100 kGy,500 kGy,and 1000 kGy.Preliminary flexural and hardness tests are conducted to further assess the behaviour of irradiated polymer composites.Further,the damage modes associated with the low-impact test are characterised using infrared thermography,flat panel digital radiography,and microscope observation.The results show that the composites irradiated with various doses display good impact resistance at 20 J,presenting minor damages in the form of dents on the surface.The irradiated CRC and WCRW display best impact resistance at 500 kGy,while W2CR2C at 1000 kGy.This shows that the layering sequence of reinforcement fibre can influence the impact resistance of irradiated composites.Apart from that,the application of non-destructive techniques show different damage mechanisms in the form resin cracks,yarn splitting/fracture,and matrix splitting when the composites are exposed at high and low irradiation doses.These findings offer valuable data for the defence industry,particularly in the areas of repair,maintenance,and the development of new materials.

文摘The high band gap of zinc oxide(ZnO)has significantly limited its potential application for organic contaminant removal in photocatalysis.In this study,ZnO/halloysites(HNTs)composites(ZnO/HNTs)were prepared using a high-temperature calcination method to enhance the removal of tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH).The experimental results demonstrated that the band gap of ZnO/HNTs decreased to 3.12 eV,compared to 3.21 eV for pure ZnO.The observed removal rate(k_(obs))of TCH in the ZnO/HNTs/vis system was 1.90×10^(-2) min^(-1),significantly higher than the rates in the HNTs/vis(1.25×10^(-3)min^(-1))and ZnO/vis(1.13×10^(-2) min^(-1))systems.Additionally,ZnO/HNTs exhibited strong resistance to coexisting natural organic and inorganic matter,maintaining high pollutant removal efficiency in natural water samples.The ZnO/HNTs/vis system also effectively removed other common organic pollutants,such as ciprofloxacin and methylene blue.Cycle tests indicated that the ZnO/HNTs/vis system retained 65.57%of its original efficiency,demonstrating good reusability and versatility.Scavenging and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments identified that h+was the primary species in the ZnO/HNTs/vis system,with other species playing auxiliary roles in TCH degradation.This study provides valuable insights into the design of novel ZnO-based photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants in water.

文摘This research explored the hot deformation behavior of TiBw/(TA15-Si)composite with a network structure fabricated by hot pressing sintering.Hot compression test was conducted at 1000–1020°C under strain rate of 1–0.001 s^(−1).The microstructure evolution and deformation mechanisms were revealed through parent phase reconstruction.During the deformation,Dynamic Recrystallization(DRX)was preferentially developed in TiBw rich region due to the TiBw supplying dislocation pile-up and heterogeneous nucleation sites.The main DRX mechanisms included continuous and discontinuous DRX.The microstructure in TiBw lean region was closely related to strain rates,which was deformed microstructure at high strain rates but DRXed microstructure at low strain rates.The primary mechanisms of deformation were governed by dislocation motion.Besides,in TiBw rich region,Grain Boundary Sliding(GBS)coordinated the deformation due to DRX.However,GBS was hindered again at low strain rates due to the increase of DRXed grain size,contributing to a gradual rise in flow stress.
