{"title":"Tribological Behavior of Cast Aluminum Matrix Composites After Multiple Remelting","authors":"Evgeny Prusov, Artemiy Aborkin, Vladislav Deev, Dmitriy Bokaryov, Dmitriy Babin","doi":"10.61552/jme.2023.03.006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61552/jme.2023.03.006","url":null,"abstract":"One of the limiting factors for expanding the applications of aluminum alloy castings in many high-tech industries is the insufficient level of tribological properties, especially under conditions of dry and abrasive wear. Reinforcing of aluminum alloys with hard ceramic particles, i.e., transition to aluminum matrix composites, allows significantly increasing their resistance against dry sliding friction, scuffing, and seizure in wide temperature and force intervals of operation. Among the numerous problems related to the industrial implementation of cast aluminum matrix composites, the problem of their recycling takes the important place. This work is aimed at establishing the influence of metallurgical processes during remelting on the change in tribological properties of cast Al-Si-B4C aluminum matrix composites. For this purpose, tribological tests in conditions of dry friction according to the ball-on-disc scheme were used. Reinforcing of an AlSi12 matrix alloy with B4C particles leads to a decrease in the composite friction coefficient and the mass wear in the as-cast state in comparison with an unreinforced matrix alloy. During remelting, the tribological properties of the aluminum matrix composites do not deteriorate. Repeated remelting leads to the improvement in particle distribution uniformity, formation of the Al3BC phase at the matrix/particle interfaces, fragmentation of reinforcing B4C particles due to cyclic thermal loads as well as an increase in the porosity fraction. The changes in the structural-phase composition during remelting have a direct influence on the level of tribological properties. Typical effects associated with dry friction, such as plastic deformation of the matrix material and the formation of areas of adhesion-cohesive fracture, indicative of scuffing, were revealed by SEM analysis of the wear tracks of an unreinforced matrix alloy. For the composite material, these effects manifested to a much lesser extent. A qualitatively similar sliding wear behavior was observed for all composite samples, regardless of the remelting iteration. The study suggests that the formation of a transitional tribolayer may occur during dry sliding friction of aluminum matrix composites, which can reduce the friction coefficient.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136094809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To fully understand the biomechanics of the affected spine, it is crucial to consider the biomechanical alterations caused by degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD). Therefore this study is aimed at the development of a discrete element model of the mechanical behavior of the L4-L5 spinal motion segment, which covers all the degeneration grades from healthy IVD to its severe degeneration, and numerical study of the influence of the IVD degeneration on stress state and biomechanics of the spine. To analyze the effects of IVD degeneration on spine biomechanics we simulated physiological loading conditions using compressive forces. The results of modeling showed that at the initial stages of degenerative changes, an increase in the amplitude and area of maximum compressive stresses in the disc is observed. At the late stages of disc degradation, a decrease in the value of intradiscal pressure and a shift in the maximum compressive stresses in the dorsal direction are observed. Such an influence of the degradation of the geometric and mechanical parameters of the tissues of the disc leads to the effect of bulging, which in turn will lead to the formation of an intervertebral hernia.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136094953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, rotor defect diagnostics have become more important. This study looks at the effects of various input parameters, such as shaft operating speed, crack depths, and l/d ratio (ratio of the distance of crack from one end to the diameter of the shaft). A steel shaft with a disc positioned in the center and supported by two bearings was utilized to investigate the vibration characteristics of a shaft. An artificial fracture was introduced in order to notice the rotor's vibration characteristics when a defect is present. On a rotor with a diameter of 25mm, the signature knowledge was first obtained with fracture depths ranging from 1mm to 3mm. The amplitude and frequency of vibration in the rotor bearing system were used to analyse the results of the three input parameters. FFT analyzer was used to measure the amplitude and frequency (Fast Fourier remodel analyzer). The signals are processed using a high-speed fast Fourier remodel analyzer. To evaluate important input parameters affecting system vibrations, Taguchi and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) methods were applied. The ANOVA was distributed with a 95% confidence level. The technique parameters with a p-value of less than 0.05 were mentioned as being critical to the response. Taguchi Analysis was used to determine the effect of the input parameters on the amplitude and frequency of vibration in the axial and vertical directions.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136093899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to verify the service characteristics of jute fiber, one of the representatives of natural fibers, in complex environments, jute fiber reinforced composite laminates were prepared using Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI) process, and the moisture absorption properties of the laminates were investigated and the influence law and mechanism of four temperatures and two fiber plies on the water absorption and diffusion properties of the laminates were analyzed. The results show that: the moisture absorption process of the laminate conforms to Fick’s second law, but the applicability of Fick’s second law decreases as the temperature increases; the moisture absorption rate of the laminate increases exponentially as the temperature increases, but the saturation rate decreases, and the corrosion rate of the laminate increases; the increase in the number of plies of the laminate affects the increase in the time to reach the saturation rate of the laminate, and the diffusion coefficient increases; the service performance of 6-layer laminate is better in the same hygrothermal environment.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72682674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the cross-sea bridge, the dynamic effect of foundation scour on the bridge structure is more significant, thus affecting the safety of the structure. In this paper, the maximum possible local scouring depth of the foundation is first calculated to make the simulated foundation scouring condition conform. to the actual project. Then, the m-method is adopted to calculate the stiffness value of the foundation soil spring and establish an elastic restraint model that reflects the restraint of the foundation soil on the bridge foundation, thus setting up the finite element model of the bridge with regard to the foundation scouring. On this basis, taking Qiongzhou Strait cross-sea highway and railway dual-purpose cable-stayed bridge as an example, the effect of foundation scour on the dynamic effect of cross-sea cable-stayed bridges under the action of wind and waves is analyzed, and the influence law of the local scour depth of the foundation on the dynamic effect of the structure is determined. The maximum scour depth of 12m is considered to increase the displacement of the top of the tower by 14. 65%, mainly because the foundation scours reduces the restraint effect of the foundation soil on the bridge foundation, resulting in the reduction of the lateral bearing capacity of the bridge foundation. Therefore, for the cross-sea cable-stayed bridge without foundation soil treatment, the detection and monitoring of foundation scour should be strengthened or the preventive maintenance and reinforcement treatment of foundation soil should be done in advance to ensure the safe operation of the bridge structure.","PeriodicalId":42984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures","volume":"461 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82984991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
