In contrast to coir, coconut timber, a hardwood that dominates the weight of the coconut tree, has not been appropriately considered for use in polymer composites. Therefore, in this article, coconut trunk particle/unsaturated polyester resin composites were experimentally investigated. As a pioneering study, a large range of NaOH concentrations from 2 wt% to 10 wt% (with an interval of 2 wt%) was utilized to treat the surface of the filler. Finally, 4 wt% alkali solution was found as the best content for surface modification based on the mechanical properties of the composite, including those determined by tensile, flexural, and impact test results.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X20935891","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44559899","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 actual bending strain data and predicted strain data as a function of different stress levels and load durations under constant environmental conditions (25 ± 2°C and 50% relative humidity) were compared. Two test groups, short-term bending tests and long-term creep-rupture bending tests, were performed according to relevant ASTM standards. Specimens were randomly assigned to three groups and loaded at 47% (132.2 kg), 51% (137.4 kg), or 55% (154.9 kg) of the mean static short-term flexural strength. Specimen creep was monitored for 10,000 h using an automated measurement system. The four-parameter BBM parameters were obtained for all specimens at 2000-h time intervals, providing five different estimates. Measured strain values were compared with strain predictions from the BBM and with the goal of evaluating length of experiment on prediction accuracy. Each stress level provided statistical differences based on the error between the actual strain and predicted strain values. Group 3 provided minimum error compared to group 1 and group 2. The 10,000 and 8000 h loading provided the most accurate predictions compared to 6000, 4000, and 2000 h of data. Overall, the longer the actual data is collected the more accurate predictions were obtained. As a result, the BBM was found useful tool for predicting the creep behavior of OSBs under different loads and load durations. It was also shown that the increased duration of practical loading minimizes the error between the prediction. Therefore, the BBM is suggested for use predicting the creep behavior of OSBs over 8000 h load durations.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X20935895","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47658211","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 metal removal process of drilling is widely used in many structural applications. This study experimentally investigates the drilling characteristics of silicon carbide (SiCp)-reinforced Al 7075 composites produced by stir casting method. Also, two different drill materials with high-speed steel (HSS) and titanium nitride (TiN)-coated HSS carry out in drilling operation. The effect of operational parameters such as cutting speed and feed rate and materials parameters such as weight fraction of reinforcement and cutting tools on the surface roughness of drilled holes were evaluated in the drilling operations. The results of the drilling test indicate that the feed rate and cutting speed have a very strong effect on the surface roughness of matrix alloy and composite materials. The surface roughness (Ra ) values increased with increasing the feed rate and decreased with increasing the cutting speed. Under 0.10 mm/rev and 20 m/min drilling conditions and using HSS drill, surface roughness values for matrix, 5% SiC-, 10% SiC-, and 15% SiC-reinforced composites, were obtained 2.57, 2.59, 2.61, and 2.64 µm, respectively; besides, using TiN-coated HSS drill, surface roughness values were obtained 1.60, 1.63, 1.64, and 1.66 µm, respectively. An increase in the weight fraction of the abrasive SiC particle resulted in a very crucial deterioration quality of the drilled hole. TiN-coated HSS drills better performance exhibits than uncoated HSS drills for all the drilling operations about surface roughness properties. Short chip formations observed both the matrix alloy and the composite materials for two different drills in the drilling operations.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X20937711","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41871373","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 the needs of seismic engineering, this article proposes a conversion formula to describe the relationship between the peak arrival time and the energy distribution characteristics in the time domain. To ensure that the variation laws of acceleration time–history curve of artificial seismic waves are more consistent with those of natural seismic waves, a normal-fitting annealing algorithm is proposed based on the normal-fitting method.

Considering the gyroscopic effect, the equations of motion are derived by adopting the Hamilton’s principle based on the Kirchhoff’s plate theory. Then, the Galerkin method and the small parameter perturbation method are utilized to obtain the free and forced vibration results for the rotating plate. A detailed parametric study is conducted to examine the effects of the GPL weight fraction, GPL distribution pattern, length-to-thickness ratio and length-to-width ratio of GPLs, and the rotating speed on free vibration characteristics of the nanocomposite plate. Attention is also given to the influences of the GPL weight fraction, thermal flow, and friction coefficient on forced vibration responses of the plate.

To improve the control accuracy of the hot-melt interface in the process of ultrasonic bonding, an online hot-melt interface monitoring method and an online ultrasonic transmission efficiency detection method are proposed in this article. With these detection methods, the real-time monitoring of the hot-melt interface can be realized on the basis of machine vision, while high-frequency dynamic force sensors can be used to detect the ultrasonic vibration transmitted from the ultrasonic horn to the anvil. Based on these methods, a functional anvil based on visual monitoring and ultrasonic detection is developed, the finite element method has been used to analyze the transmission characteristics of ultrasonic vibration, and experiments are carried out regarding online detection in the process of ultrasonic bonding.

Welding was performed under uniaxial compression using the 50 µm-thick nickel (Ni) and aluminum (Al) 2024 interlayers under 3 MPa at 950–980°C for 60 min in an argon gas atmosphere. After welding, the diffusion and intermediate zones of the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectrometry analysis. As evaluating the diffusion zone with interlayer, it was determined that different interlayers expanded due to increasing temperature of the diffusion area. Interlayers expanded more on the K-500 side and relatively less on the 304L side. On the other hand, when samples with Ni interlayers were examined, high amount of Ni contained by both base material (304L) and interlayer led to the formation of rich Ni phases in the diffusion side.

These intermetallic phases increased the hardness and significantly decreased the ductility of different material couples joined by diffusion welding. As a result, the microhardness and lap shear tests were applied to specimens to characterize the mechanical properties of the joint zones.

The composite material was made using 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% waste wood sawdust as a filler and arranged in different sequences to fabricate beams having 30–40, 20–30–40, and 10–20–30–40 hybrid sections along the length. The deflection behavior was investigated by both experiment and finite element modeling. The results showed that the 30–40 setup produced the least deflection when the 40% end of the beam was fixed, while the 10–20–30–40 setup produced the highest stiffness when fixed at the 40% section.

It consists of a magnetic grid, winding sleeve, two Hall sensors, and control circuitry. The magnetic grid comprises permanent magnets and coil windings.

An axial pressure keeps the shaft end of the magnetic grid in contact with the surface of the bone or the plate steadily during the electric handheld drilling of the bone. The pressure is an electromagnetic force generated by the interaction between the permanent magnets and the coil windings. The force should be large enough to support the weight of the magnetic grid and a low fluctuation is maintained. The larger the device, the higher the electromagnetic force will be generated. The electromagnetic force is simulated and obtained with the software of Maxwell. The factors that influence the force were the permanent magnet, and the others are the length of permanent magnet and the turns on the coil. The results of orthogonal simulation show that the primary factor is the diameter of the permanent magnet. The optimized parameters include the following: the diameter of the magnet is 7 mm, length of each permanent magnet is 5 mm, and the turns on the coil are 80.
