In this study, a composite modified asphalt was developed using pyrolytic carbon black (PCB) and chicken feather fiber (CFF). Box–Behnken design of response surface methodology was employed to optimize the preparation parameters, and the optimal parameters were determined to be a PCB dosage of 15% (weight ratio), a CFF dosage of 0.3% (weight ratio), and a chicken feather (CF) shear time of 8.2 min. A Dynamic Shear Rheometer (MCR302) was used to analyze the high-temperature rheological properties of the modified asphalt samples, and the results showed that the addition of PCB and CFF enhanced the high temperature performance and anti-aging performance of the asphalt. The rheological properties at high temperature increased progressively with the increase in CFF dosage. The Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) test was conducted to evaluate the low-temperature rheological property of PCB/CFF composite modified asphalt, which was observed to decrease with the increase in CFF dosage. The microscopic properties and the chemical group of 15% PCB + 0.3% CFF with 8.2 min CF shear time composite modified asphalt (0.3%PC-MA) were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer and Fluorescence Microscopy, and the results indicated that PCB and CFF were physically blended with asphalt without undergoing a chemical reaction, and they were well compatible with and evenly distributed in asphalt.

The traditional SP simulation model falls short as it only takes into account one or a few shots, proving insufficient for accurately simulating the entire impact process involving hundreds of shots. In this study, a random multiple shots simulation modeling methodology with hundreds of random shots is proposed to simulate the impact process of SP. In order to reduce the simulation error, the random function Rand of MATLAB is used to generate the shot distributions many times, and the shot distribution closest to the average number is selected and the three-dimension parametric explicit dynamics numerical simulation model is built using ABAQUS software. Orthogonal experiments are carried out to investigate the influences of shot diameter, incident impact velocity, and angle on the residual stress distribution, roughness, and specimen deformation. Results showed that the average relative errors of maximum residual compressive stress, roughness, and deformation of specimen between simulation model and experimental value are 30.99, 16.14, and 16.73%, respectively.

To reveal the aging mechanism of styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer (SBS)/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compound-modified asphalt, the micro mechanism in the aging process was studied by combining molecular dynamics (MD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). First, MD was used to establish the micro models of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt at different aging stages (non-aging, short-term aging, and long-term aging) and to verify its rationality. Second, the micro characteristics of the SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt micro model, such as solubility parameters, diffusion coefficient, interface interaction energy, and radial distribution function, were analyzed by calculation. Finally, the FTIR results proved the rationality of the simulation and explained the aging mechanism of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt. The results show that the cohesiveness density and solubility parameters of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt increase, the diffusion coefficient decreases, and the molecular interface stability increases during the aging process. And, the carbonyl index, sulfoxide index, and aromatic ring index increased in different degrees after aging. The study explains the aging mechanism of SBS/SBR compound-modified asphalt from the perspective of modifier molecules and provides a theoretical basis for the research of asphalt anti-aging.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136078758","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}

Four short shear walls composed of cold-formed steel and high-strength concrete, namely, one specimen without diagonal bracing, one with angle-steel bracing, and two with lattice bracing, were designed for testing their low cyclic loading. The cracking load, ultimate displacement, maximum horizontal bearing capacity, failure process, hysteretic curve, and skeleton curve of the four specimens were obtained during the test. The results showed that the use of cold-formed steel-concealed bracing in the high-strength concrete short shear wall can effectively change the failure mode of the wall into bending shear failure with good ductility. An analysis of the energy dissipation of the four specimens revealed that the energy dissipation capacity and ductility of high-strength concrete short shear wall with cold-formed steel concealed bracing were improved, indicating that the use of cold-formed steel concealed bracing greatly improved the total energy dissipation capacity of high-strength concrete short shear wall. The calculated shear bearing capacity in the diagonal section of the wall with concealed bracing was compared with the measured one.

By constructing a time prediction model for the carbonation depth of recycled concrete, the time when the complete carbonation zone reaches the depth of the steel bar inside the concrete can be determined, and then the carbonation life of the building can be determined. However, the current carbonation model for recycled aggregates (RAs) has theoretical and practical limitations. The existing semi-empirical model has not quantitatively considered the influence of particle sizes of RAs on the carbonation depth, but only qualitatively analyzed the effect of particle size on the carbonation depth. In practical applications, the existing models usually only determine the structural life under one-dimensional carbonation conditions in laboratory conditions, ignoring the fact that two-dimensional carbonation mainly occurs in actual engineering. In order to overcome these limitations, a semi-empirical model for predicting the carbonation depth of recycled concrete is proposed for life prediction of structural carbonation. Based on the replacement rate of RAs, external environmental influences, and the stress state of components, the particle size of RAs is considered in the carbonation depth prediction model, and model parameters are fitted by performing carbonation experiments on specimens with different mix ratios. The model is then validated by applying a large amount of existing experimental data to the fitted model, and the results show that the model has good applicability for the constructed components. Furthermore, the model is used to predict the carbonation life of the main components in actual engineering and considers two-dimensional carbonation. It was found that when the replacement rate of RAs was 40%, the predicted life of the main components after carbonation in actual engineering was close to the design life.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135799562","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 study investigates the influence of incorporating the rare earth element Nd on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al–Zn–Mg–Cu–Zr alloys. The microstructural evolution during casting, homogenization, hot deformation, and heat treatment processes is characterized using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The composition of the rare earth phase is determined through transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, first-principles calculations are employed to determine the formation enthalpy, cohesive energy, shear modulus, bulk modulus, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio of bulk Al8Cu4Nd. The effect of Nd addition on the mechanical properties of the alloy is investigated through hardness and tensile testing. The results indicate that the addition of Nd significantly refines the grain and dendrite sizes of the alloy and effectively suppresses recrystallization behavior during hot extrusion and solution treatment. TEM observations reveal the presence of micrometer-sized blocky Al8Cu4Nd phases and nanometer-sized Al3Nd phases. The Al3Nd phases are located near dislocations, hindering dislocation movement and thus enhancing the alloy’s mechanical properties. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the bulk Al8Cu4Nd phase exhibits superior structural stability, deformation resistance, and brittle characteristics, which negatively impact the ductility of the alloy. The alloy with Nd addition can maintain a high hardness value for an extended period at high temperature, and the tensile strength of the alloy with 0.26 wt% Nd addition reaches 396.2 MPa at 120°C. These results indicate that the rare earth element Nd can improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of the alloy.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72661938","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}
