The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of the span length-to-specimen thickness ratio on the flexural properties of the selected CL. The laminate specimens were tested in the three-point flexure configuration for span length-to-specimen thickness ratios of 16, 20, 32, 40 and 60. The investigations were carried out to identify on-axis and 45° off-axis flexural responses of the CL. For this reason, two types of rectangular flat specimens were prepared, differing in reinforcement orientation relative to the support span. Using the special code, the lay-up of the specimens was designated as [(0/90)F]8 and [±45 F]8, respectively. It was found that the flexural modulus and flexural strength of the specimens depend on the span length-to-specimen thickness ratio. Despite testing the same CL, the response of the specimens to the change in the span length is different. In addition, it was concluded that the span length also has a significant influence on the final failure of the laminate specimens.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"322 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46710203","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 article, the acoustic mismatch model and the effective medium approach are applied to predict the influence of different interfacial coatings on the interfacial thermal conductance (ITC) and the TC of graphite flakes/Al composites, respectively. With the increase in the thickness of interfacial coatings, the ITC and the TC of graphite flakes/Al composites decrease. For the composites with Ni, Cr/Cr7C3/Cr3C2, Si/SiC, Ti/TiC, WC, and Mo/Mo2C coatings, the ITC is sensitive to coating thickness. In order to obtain ideal TC of graphite flakes/Al composites, the thickness of the coatings should be controlled below 1 μm. It is reasonable that the TC of the graphite flakes/Al composites increases as the volume fraction of graphite flakes increases. The TC of the graphite flakes/Al composites increases with the ITC and changes slowly when the ITC increases to a certain extent. Si/SiC and WC coatings are proposed to be the most promising candidates to improve the thermal performance of graphite flakes/Al composites.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"500 - 507"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45197550","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}

The results show that under the different gradient parameters, the displacement varies harmonically with time, and with the increase of gradient parameters, the fluctuation period of displacement with time increases continuously, and the displacement peak also gradually increases. The displacement along the thickness direction also shows the harmonic form.

The traditional foam preparation device has the disadvantages of high-pressure loss, poor foaming effect, and foam uniformity. To overcome the above shortcomings, the annular air supply vertical foam preparation device was proposed in the article. The foaming cylinder of the device adopts a vertical design to avoid the influence of uneven distribution of foam caused by gravity; the spiral nozzle is used to evenly spray the foaming liquid on the foaming mesh to increase the contact area between foam and airflow. The stainless steel wire mesh and cotton wire mesh are adopted to improve the reliability and durability of concave foaming mesh. The performance of the new device was obtained by the self-built experimental system. Finally, the field test shows that the conditions of the heading face could fully meet the requirements of the device for pressure water and compressed air, and the produced pressure microfoam can effectively control dust.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"1 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43316568","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}

This stands tall than the ordinary and conventional type of constructions. Columns as a structural element play a vital role in structural frame. This research comments on the behavior of composite columns. The main objective of this study is to analyze the behavior of steel-encased concrete composite columns as experimentally under axial compression and the mode of failure under ultimate failure and yield point. The steel-concrete composite system combines the formability and rigidity of reinforced concrete with the ductility and strength of structural steel to meet the demand for earthquake-resistant constructions. Three specimens were chosen for this study: one was a composite column, the other two were ordinary RC columns and structural steel columns. The raw materials' natural properties are assessed. As a result, material testing for cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate was completed, as well as a concrete mix design. A comparative analysis of the local and post-local buckling behavior of different composite sections has been studied and the column sections have been designed according to Eurocode 4 (ENV 1994) to determine the plastic resistance of the section. These three specimens underwent compression test and the results are tabulated and compared. The corrosion resistance and fireproof nature (resistance to fire at higher temperatures) that are transmitted into the member are related to the steel being encased within the concrete. These are the two major drawbacks of any steel construction combined with an earthquake-resistant structure. Rather than a traditional steel construction, earthquake structures benefit from this type of load handling capabilities. The portion can be used before it completely collapses if proper design factors are taken into account.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"176 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41645906","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}
