The prepared material was characterized by various characterization techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of a fast orange red (FOR) dye under UV light resulted in 88% degradation, with a minimal decrease (87.90%) observed even after five successive runs, indicating the stability and effectiveness of the catalyst. The enhancement in degradation efficiency is attributed to the incorporation of Sm³⁺ ions into the ZnO lattice. Utilizing the optimized Sm³⁺ (5 mol%)-doped ZnO nanoparticles, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) were performed on the prepared electrode, demonstrating the excellent CV properties; this enhancement is attributed to the modification of ZnO’s redox chemistry and the alteration of charge transfer kinetics at the electrode-electrolyte interface due to the addition of Sm³⁺ into the ZnO structure. The antibacterial activity was performed against two pathogenic strains, i.e., <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Streptococcus aureus</i>. The obtained results suggest that the prepared material holds great promise for catalytic, energy storage, antibacterial, and other multifunctional applications.","PeriodicalId":7345,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139761300","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 the process of the mode I crack propagation of coal gangue concrete with different contents can be divided into three stages as follows: the elastic stage before crack initiation, extended viscoelastic stage, and extended fracture stage. The amount of coal gangue has a significant impact on the crack propagation path. The more the amount of coal gangue, the more the crack penetrates through the coal gangue coarse aggregate, the smaller the bending degree of the failure path, and the faster the crack propagation to the penetration speed. The crack initiation load, ultimate load, external force work, gravity work, and fracture energy all decrease with the increase of the coal gangue content. The data obtained by the DIC method and displacement extensometer are in good agreement, which proves that the DIC method is feasible. Based on the DIC method, before reaching the horizontal displacement on both sides of the crack tip, the horizontal displacement of the horizontal pixel is very small and there is a jump increase after the ultimate load. There are obvious inflection points on the left and right, and the horizontal displacement remains unchanged after the inflection point. After the horizontal displacement field of crack propagation reaches the limit load, there is an obvious limit; the limit gradually extends upward, and the corresponding crack tip strain field is also gradually enhanced. The more the coal gangue is added, the smaller the corresponding horizontal displacement and strain field is at the same limit load moment. The shape of the crack generation area of coal gangue concrete takes the crack tip as the axis of symmetry and is “gourd shaped.” The more the content of the crack, the larger the crack generation area.","PeriodicalId":7345,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"171 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139590419","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 incorporation of fibers with polymers can result in composites with enhanced strength and stiffness. This study aims to investigate the thermal and morphological characteristics of hybrid u-polyester composites reinforced with glass fibers and polypropylene. The fabrication of composite specimens was conducted through a straightforward cold press method. The compositions of the composites were held constant, except for the orientation of the glass fibers and polypropylene. In this study, the TG/DTG technique was used to analyze the thermal characteristics of the composites. In addition, transverse thermal conductivity was measured using the ASTM E1530 method. The test results showed that the composite reinforced with glass fibers exhibited the lowest weight loss and minimal thermal conductivity among all the samples, followed by the hybrid composite. Based on the TGA curves of the samples, the matrix experienced a weight loss of 9.7% at a temperature of 300°C, which reduced to 2.6% and 2.1% for hybrid composites and glass fiber-reinforced composites, respectively. DTG curves for composites demonstrate that the hybrid and fiber-reinforced composites degraded at rates of 0.64 mg/min and 0.36 mg/min, respectively, at 392.3°C and 395.7°C. Moreover, transverse thermal conductivity of the composite which consists of five-glass-fibered layers shows a minimal thermal conductivity of 0.05 W/m·K. The morphological properties were also investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The findings from SEM and FTIR showed that a higher proportion of glass fibers led to a more oriented composite structure, demonstrating enhanced crosslinking between fibers and polyester. Therefore, the insights of this study can be used to improve the performance of glass fibers and polypropylene hybrid-laminated composites intended for high-temperature applications.","PeriodicalId":7345,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139496659","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}

Copper is contributing to the field of automobiles and aerospace industries. The tribological properties of copper are not found to be satisfactory, which may be attributed to the support of producing copper matrix composites with extensive investigations into their properties. Coper-based hybrid composites were fabricated by reinforcing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) to enhance the wear and mechanical properties of copper composites. Three specimens were prepared by powder metallurgy process with the designations of Cu + 5wt.%TiO₂, Cu + 5wt.%TiO₂ + 2wt.% MoS₂, and Cu + 5wt.% TiO₂ + 4wt.% MoS₂. The metallurgical analysis was done on the specimens using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis which confirms the presence and distribution of Cu, TiO₂, and MoS₂ particles in the specimens. The wear rate was studied on the specimens concerning the sliding velocity, load, and MoS₂ content. The statistical analysis and Taguchi analysis highlight the influencing parameters on the wear rate of the material. Linear regression equations were developed to predict the wear rate using DoE. Through this analysis, the sliding velocity of 3 m/s, a load of 30 N, and a 4% addition of MoS₂ were identified as the optimum parameters for the minimal wear rate. The wear mechanism was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy techniques to reveal the adhesion, delamination, and oxidation.","PeriodicalId":7345,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139483661","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}

Due to their high mechanical strength and high thermal stability, these biodegradable low-value agrosolid wastes have the potential to successfully replace synthetic fibers and fillers in polymer matrices in the form of reinforcements. This work deals with the addition of low-cost and renewable hybrid natural fillers, tamarind seed filler (TMS), and peanut shell powder (PNS) as particulate reinforcements to the vinyl ester (VE) resin. Traditional compression molding creates TMS/PNS-VE hybrid composites with filler loadings ranging from 5% to 30%. After the composites were fabricated, they were tested for strength properties and heat deflection temperature. A detailed experimental analysis of the mechanical properties was conducted. According to the findings, 20 wt.% hybrid filler loading to the vinyl ester polymer exhibited peak tensile, flexural, and impact strengths of 40.3 MPa, 142 MPa, and 16 kJ/m², respectively, which is 1.52, 1.69, and 1.29 times the properties of the virgin polymer. However, the peak elongation at break 3.9% was obtained at 30 wt.%. Similarly, the heat deflection temperature (HDT) test of TMS/PNS-VE composites showed a maximum rise of 50.91% at 25 wt.% of filler loading. This is 1.51 times greater than the heat deflection temperature of the pure vinyl ester resin. The findings made it quite clear that adding 20 wt.% biosolid waste hybrid particulate fillers made out of tamarind seed and peanut shell to vinyl ester is the optimum weight, which improves the mechanical and thermal properties of the TMS/PNS-VE composite, making it suitable for making cost-effective materials for lightweight applications. This study also utilizes scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the microstructural characteristics of the composites, correlating these features with their mechanical performance.","PeriodicalId":7345,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139458862","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 delves into the potential of composite materials, particularly carbon/epoxy and carbon/carbon nanotube/epoxy, as replacements for conventional steel coil springs in light vehicles. Through a comprehensive analysis of mechanical properties under static and dynamic loading conditions, the study demonstrates the superior performance of composite springs compared to their steel counterparts. After optimization, the deflection of the carbon/carbon nanotube/epoxy and carbon/epoxy springs decreased to 15.003 mm and 18.703 mm, respectively, and the maximum shear stress decreased by 64.63% and 62.2%, respectively. Likewise, strain energies increased to 2.3644 and 3.5616, respectively. The springs were also studied under dynamic conditions, and the result showed these springs have the ability to perform in dynamic conditions. The carbon/carbon nanotube/epoxy composite emerged as the frontrunner, exhibiting remarkable improvements in shear stress, fatigue life, strain energy, and deformation properties.

At the same time, in machining, tremendous efforts are taken to keep friction and chatter to a minimum and to attain better quality and perfect output, and also more attention is required while selecting the machining process parameters. Spindle speed, rate of feed, radial and axial depth of cut, and radial rake angle of the tool are the parameters utilized to machine aluminium 6063 using the HSS tool on CNC milling to estimate spindle and worktable vibration using a prediction model. In this study, the design of the experiment of the response surface methodology approach is used to create a second-order statistical equation for experimentation with the Design-Expert v12 software. The performance characteristics are analyzed using the ANOVA method. The spindle speed achieved the lowest vibration between 2000 and 3000 rpm. Next, axial and radial depths were the most vibration-affecting parameter compared to the rate of feed and radial rake angle of the tool. To find the best feasible response, the nondominant sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II) approach was trained and tested using MATLAB software. Using a Pareto-optimal technique, the optimum worktable vibration ranged from 0.00284 to 0.00165 mm/s², whereas the spindle vibration ranged from 0.02404 to 0.01336 mm/s².

Grinding, which requires a lot of power and is expensive, is typically used to harden machining. In recent times, hard machining has emerged as a viable alternative to grind in select applications. In this investigation, turning operations with a carbide insert (CNMA 120408-KR3215) were carried out on SKD 11 (53 HRC) hardened steel. A total of nine machining tests were completed using the <i>L</i>₉ orthogonal array. The response variables considered in this study were surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR). The analysis of the signal to noise ratio reveals that the optimal combination of cutting process parameters for achieving a desired surface roughness consists of a cutting speed of 119 m/min, a feed rate of 0.11 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.2 mm. The contribution of each process parameter to the machining performance of the carbide tool-work piece combination is determined through the use of ANOVA. Depth of cut has the greatest impact (57.33%) to MRR, while feed rate has the highest contribution (82.15%) to Ra. Moreover, desirability function analysis (DFA) was conducted to optimize the multiple responses. DFA suggested that, to attain a satisfactory response to the output parameters, higher range of cutting speed, depth of cut, and lower range of feed rate are appreciable; therefore, the analytical findings suggest that a cutting speed of 189 m/min, feed rate of 0.11 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.5 mm can induce a favorable Ra of 0.971 <i>μ</i>m and MRR of 10.248 cm³/min.

According to the principle of AE numerical simulation, the roadway model is established by FLAC3D software, and the supporting structure of the bolt cable is established by editing the Fish function. According to the model dynamic load application criterion, the relationship between the peak velocity of the particle, the distance from the source center to the dynamic impact damage point, and the dynamic load intensity is introduced. The velocity-distance-energy relationship is deduced from the relationship to determine the magnitude of the dynamic load energy. The simulation results show that the intensity of the dynamic load source and the distance of the dynamic load source directly impact the AE events. The larger the dynamic load intensity and the closer to the dynamic load source, the more concentrated the AE events. The roadway has a blocking effect on the transmission of the dynamic load stress waves. According to this characteristic, the roadway can be protected by a high-pressure relief roadway. Rock lithology greatly influences the transmission of dynamic load stress waves and the number of AE events. When the dynamic load stress wave passes through the rock strata of different lithologies, the attenuation of the dynamic load energy and the number of AE events are large. However, when the dynamic load stress wave passes through the rock strata of the same lithology, the attenuation of the dynamic load energy and AE events is small. The surrounding rock structure in the bottom corner area of the roadway is susceptible to disturbance from dynamic load sources above the roadway. The results are greatly significant for studying the AE characteristics of support roadways with disturbance-typeimpact failure.","PeriodicalId":7345,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138716728","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}
