In order to reduce the transmission of noise, perforated panels are frequently used as a barrier. The present study aims to conduct a numerical analysis of plastic perforated panels for acoustic protection. The study employed a finite element method (FEM) approach and focused on the propagation of acoustic waves through perforations of varying diameters (30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm and 90 mm) and at different frequencies (250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 1500 Hz). The numerical analysis was conducted using the finite element software ANSYS. This work offers numerical analysis models of acoustic wave propagation, which can be used by those interested in similar problems, for different environments, in closed or open spaces. The results showed that the perforation diameter and frequency play a crucial role in the performance of the plastic perforated panels as an acoustic barrier. The results of the author�s research pointed out that the plastic materials can be used successfully in the construction of acoustic barriers.

At -40oC ~40oC, the stress-strain curves of polyurethane cement with different proportions were roughly similar. When the temperature was higher than 40oC, with the rise of temperature, the ultimate tensile strength of polyurethane cement specimens would decrease but the ultimate strain would increase. When the temperature was lower than -40oC, with the decline of temperature, the ultimate strain and tensile strength of polyurethane cement specimens would decrease. The ultimate stress of polyurethane cement with different ratios was different. With the rise of the proportion of polyurethane components, the ultimate stress would increase but the elastic modulus would decrease. Macroscopically, the failure modes of polyurethane specimens were different with the change of temperature. Brittle fracture occurred at low temperatures. At high temperatures, the specimen did not fracture, but a large number of �V�shaped cracks appeared at the edge. The higher the temperature, the more obvious this phenomenon was.

It is proved that NCAPH as an organic crystallization nucleating agent could provide large number of crystallization nucleation sites to improve PLLA�s crystallization, as observed from DSC and POM measurements. The result from melt-crystallization processes further showed that the final melting temperature and cooling rate were two important factors for affecting PLLA�s melt-crystallization behaviors in cooling, and the theoretical calculation result of frontier orbital energy indicated there existed probable intermolecular interaction between N-H of NCAPH and C=O of PLLA, which was proposed as nucleation mechanism of NCAPH for promoting PLLA�s crystallization. The melting behaviors of PLLA/NCAPH after non-isothermal crystallization or isothermal crystallization further confirmed the positive effects of NCAPH and NCAPH�s loading for the crystallization of PLLA, meantime, the melting behaviors depended on the heating rate, crystallization temperature, crystallization time, etc.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45797454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three kinds of recycled crushing materials with different particle sizes below 4mm, 4mm to 9mm, and 9mm were used to prepare 10 groups of concrete samples with different proportions by replacing sand with 5, 10, and 15% volumes, respectively. The results showed that the density of the recycled plastic concrete was reduced and the slump of the concrete was increased, with the increase of the recycled crushing materials, and the mechanical properties of concrete were improved within the 5%-10% admixture, and the best results of comprehensive mechanical properties were achieved when the admixture was 10% and the particle size was 4-9mm.
