One possible example is the combination of locally high-temperature resistance in the metal component with superior weight-related mechanical properties due to the CFRT component. This approach requires a reliable and durable joining technology, which considers the material-specific properties and allows to exploit the full potential of CFRT/metal hybrid parts. A promising approach in the field of CFRT/metal joining is the use of metallic pins, which can be embedded in the locally heated CFRT component to create a form-fitting joint. In the current state of the art, primarily single-pins are investigated and characterized: especially the distinct fiber orientation in the direct pin pressing process is only described for single-pin joints. Behind this background, the present study aims at creating an understanding of the fiber orientation mechanism for multi-pin arrays. Therefore, in the scope of this study, unidirectional reinforced glass fiber/polypropylene samples are joined via direct pin pressing and infrared heating with different 1D and 2D multi-pins arrays with different pin-diameters, spacing and pin distributions. The resulting joint morphology is consequently analyzed using micro-computer-tomography. Based on the performed investigations, a model for the fiber displacement mechanism is proposed, and the first recommendations for the design of fiber-friendly multi-pin joints with unidirectional reinforcements are given. It showed that especially pin-spacing in fiber orientation in dependency of the pin diameter is critical for a fully reconsolidated joint quality, and it is suggested that a pin-offset in the fiber direction is beneficial for a fiber-friendly joining process.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42318845","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}

In this work, the Bismaleimide (BMI) matrix composites were employed to study the damage mechanism under transverse loading through quasi-static indentation, where optical microscopy, ultrasonic C-scan, and scanning electron microscope were subjected to examine the damaged regions. The results show that cracks first take place in a resin-rich interlaminar region before the loading reached to a threshold value. Then, the cracks would develop into intralaminar cracks in the fiber bundle region consisting of the shear and bending cracks. Subsequently, the cracks randomly extend to adjacent plies and result in delamination. Finally, the back surface of composites presents a remarkable ply splitting and fiber breakage under increasing loading. Furthermore, conical-shaped indentation patterns in cross-sectional and the undamaged zone under the indenter suggest the BMI matrix composites possess potential applications in engineering materials with a superior stress-releasing structure.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42096257","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}

To comprehensively analyze the influence of water vapor factors on the response of pavement structure, this article first tests the water vapor diffusion coefficient of asphalt pavement materials at different temperatures establishes the water vapor concentration field model of the pavement structure, and analyzes the actual water vapor distribution of the pavement structure; then, the relationship between viscoelastic parameters of the mixture and water vapor concentration is established. Based on this, the finite element model of the pavement structure considering the water vapor factor is established, and the influence of the water vapor factor on the pavement structure response and fatigue life is quantified. It is found that water vapor has an important influence on the mechanical response. On the hottest days in summer, the attenuation of surface modulus caused by water vapor has the greatest impact on the upper layer of the pavement structure. Under the influence of water vapor, the position just below the wheel of the upper layer at the bottom of the horizontal tension strain increases by 108.26%, and the horizontal tension strain of the other layers increases by about 5%, increasing the risk of upper layer cracking. At the same time, water vapor reduces the stress that can be borne by the surface layer, while the rest of the stress is borne by the base. Compared with the fatigue life calculation method in the specification, the actual non-uniform water vapor concentration field reduces the fatigue life of the surface layer by 12.246%. This shows that the current structural calculation does not consider the water vapor factor, which makes the pavement structure more dangerous, and the influence of the water vapor factor should be fully considered.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42261589","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}

To improve the development results of M reservoir in Karamay Oil field, two reservoir cores were selected to carry out velocity sensitivity experiments. The permeability of No. 1 core decreases obviously when the flow rate is greater than 0.04 mL/min. Therefore, it can be considered that the injection rate of velocity sensitivity is between 0.04 and 0.06 mL/min, and the displacement rate should be less than 0.04 mL/min in the core displacement experiment. When the flow rate is greater than 0.5 mL/min, the permeability of No. 2 core decreases significantly. This is mainly due to the high permeability and critical velocity of No. 2 core. The study can provide a basis for the selection of displacement velocity in core displacement experiments, and also provide a reference for the determination of reasonable injection-production velocity in actual production.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48426427","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}

Methodology About 132 restorations were performed using monoshade universal composites (Omnichroma, OMNI; Essentia Universal; EU; Charisma Diamond One, CDO), and one simplyshade composite (NeoSpectra-ST, NEO) as control. A transparent silicone mold was used to provide standardized restorations on prefabricated class I cavities of acrylic dentures in B1, A2, and C4 shades. The assessment of color adjustment was performed immediately after, at 24 h, and at 2 weeks, through the cross-polarized dental photographs. The quantitative assessments were performed using a software (Digital Color Meter, Macintosh AC). The collected L*, a*, and b* coordinates from the restorations and the adjacent denture surfaces were used to provide Δ E 00 ⁎ text{Δ}{E}_{00}^{ast } values. Shapiro–Wilk, three-way Anova and Tukey HSD Test were used for the statistical analyses (p < 0.05). Results Among all composites and shades, the Δ E 00 ⁎ text{Δ}{E}_{00}^{ast } values were significantly the highest (1.27 ± 0.49a) for the immediately after assessments compared to the assessments at 1 day (1.01 ± 0.41b) and 2 weeks (0.97 ± 0.4c)(p < 0.05). At 24 h and 2 weeks of evaluations, the Δ E 00 ⁎ text{Δ}{E}_{00}^{ast } values for the control (0.42 ± 0.16H) were significantly the lowest (p < 0.05). Only the control presented imperceptible color changes for all the cavity shades (PT ≤ 0.8). After 2 weeks, EU (1.06 ± 0.32F) and OMNI (1.12 ± 0.18EF) presented significantly lower Δ E 00 ⁎ text{Δ}{E}_{00}^{ast } values compared to the CDO (1.29 ± 0.2CD) (p < 0.05). Restorations in lighter cavities presented significantly lower Δ E 00 ⁎ text{Δ}{E}_{00}^{ast } values. Conclusion Monoshade universal composites presented acceptable but perceptible color adjustment potentials in class I cavities without the shade selection procedure. Simplyshade composites following the shade selection might still be the best options regarding the level of color adjustment. Monoshade universal composites might provide better color adjustments in cavities with lighter shades.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41420965","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}

Based on these models of the semi-periodic boundaries, the effect of fiber characteristics (e.g., the fiber content V f, fiber aspect ratio ε, fiber length l sf, and fiber style) on both the spatial distribution and orientation degree of fibrous particles is studied before and after the fibers are aligned by the magnetic force. The results revealed that (1) both the effective number N A and orientation degree ξ of fibrous particles at a cross-section of the container can be greatly increased when the electromagnetic field is applied and (2) the wall effect of rigid boundaries shows an adverse impact on the amelioration of N A and ξ, and the range size of the affected region is essentially equal to the effective length of fibrous particles of different shapes (e.g., l sf + D sf) for spherocylindrical particles and l sf for cylindrical and linear particles).","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49316345","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}

However, an AS of traditional structure is difficult to satisfy such new demand since it is designed with only 10 mm maximum deformation under high internal pressure and strong impact. For this reason, an integrated structure of filament winding reinforced bellows is proposed to ensure the structural strength at the connection of AS bellows and flanges under strong impact and high internal pressure. On this basis, a parameterized design of integrated bellows strength is explored, and we analyzed how the strength of the bellows was affected by the parameters of geometrical structure, material features, and filament winding.
