    Notes: The mixing required for post-mould gelatinisation of syntactic foams using starch asbinder was studied. It was found that starch particles tend to adhere to hollow microspheres duringmixing, forming agglomerates. A transition in the buoyancy of microsphere-starch phases wasfound at a particular volume fraction of starch. The transitional point was close to a volume fractionof starch at which a calculated relative density for a system consisting of multiple starch particlesper microsphere was unity. Starch-microsphere inter-distance appears to be an important parameteraffecting starch content in an agglomeration

    Notes: Various manufacturing parameters involved in the ‘buoyancy method’ were inter-related.An equation based on unit cell models for a relation between volume expansion ratio (VER) of bulkmicrospheres in aqueous starch and microsphere size was derived. A good agreement between theequation and experimental data was found. The inter-microsphere distance (MID) concept wasintroduced and it was demonstrated that the MID can be calculated numerically for microsphereswith known statistical data

    Notes: The open cell Al (or Al foam) was employed in the alloy hydride system due to the rapidheat conductivity of Al. The hydrogen storage alloy powders were packed in this storage systemmade of Al open cell, and the changes of temperature and equilibrium pressure of hydrogendesorbed were measured. By applying the open cell Al in this hydrogen storage system, the reactionsensitivity of the temperature and equilibrium pressure was far rapidly increased than that withoutthe open cell Al

    Notes: The effects of use of open cell Al foam and thermoelectric element in a hydrogen storagesystem were investigated. Extremely different heat conductivities were observed in two storagesystems with or without open cell Al foam. By applying the open cell Al in this hydrogen storagesystem, the reaction sensitivity of the temperature and equilibrium pressure was far rapidlyincreased than that without the open cell Al foam. During increasing the temperature by heatingelement, heating rate of hydride powders was very fast in the storage system including Al foam,while temperature of powders was almost not changed in system without foam. Also, in case ofusing thermoelectric element, heating and cooling rate was very sensitive in the system with Alfoam and heating-cooling cyclic behavior within the system controlled by thermoelectric element isseemed to be satisfied for some applications in industry

    Notes: Abstract A finite element model comprising a flat-ended indentor and a disc representing a colliding object and mouthguard materials, respectively, has been developed to study stress distribution and impact force in laminates. The disc consists of two layers and its top layer is in contact with the indentor. Two different combinations of layers were employed for the simulation. One had a soft layer placed on top of the rigid layer and the other was vice versa. It was found that the former had no significant difference from a monolayer in stress distribution and impact force. However, the latter was found to have a significant effect on stress distribution, and this effect could be increased by controlling ratios of modulus and volume fractions of the top and bottom layers. It was also found that the magnitude of the impact force increases with increasing effect of stress distribution, but this competition can be reduced to some degree by decreasing the volume fraction ratio of top to bottom layers.

    Notes: Two dimensional statistical characteristics of inter particle/void distance (ID) for various particle/void and dispersion types are studied in relation with toughening of plastics using computer generated three dimensional models. Particle/void size groups adopted were of log-normal distribution. Particles/voids were dispersed at uniform-random. It was found that IDs are (a) of approximately Gaussian distribution but; (b) not of Gaussian distribution for particle/void sizes ofbimodal log-normal distribution (created by mixing of two groups of articles/voids). It was also found that the degree of ID uniformity, which can be represented by the inverse of the coefficient of variation, for a single group of log-normally sized particles/voids is not sensitive to standard deviation of particle/void size.Mixing effect on ID characteristics using two groups of log-normally distributed particles/voids with similar mean particle/void diameters was simulated. It was found that, when a significant amount (36 vol %) of particles/voids of a small mean and standard deviation of ID, was mixed with a group of particles/voids of a large mean and standard deviation of ID, mean and standard deviation of ID for the mixture were not substantially lower than those of the group of particles/voids of the large mean and standard deviation of ID. It was also found that the degree of ID uniformity for the mixture of the two groups were lower than those of individual groups,indicating that the mixing has deleterious effect on toughening

    Notes: Toughening of thermosets by creation of residual compressive stresses around microspheres is studied. Expandable hollow micro-spheres containing liquefied gas were used for the creation of residual compressive stresses. Microscopic compressive residual stresses around the micro-spheres in the vicinity of the crack tip were graphically analysed and related to macroscopic mechanical behaviour for mode I fracture. It was confirmed that toughening was due to residual compressive stresses rather post-cure effect

    Notes: Abstract The effect of temperature on the fatigue crack growth in a 150 mm class 12 unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipe-grade material overa temperature range −30–60°C was studied. The Arrhenius relationship between fatigue crack growth rate, da/dN, and absolute temperature, T, was found to describe the experimental data very well independent of the applied stress intensity factor range, ΔK. In the temperature range −30–10°C the activation energy was 8.8 kJ mol−1 and between 26 and 60°C this was 30 kJ mol−1. The two activation energies were found to be associated with two distinctly different crack growth mechanisms. In the low-temperature range there was a predominant shear mechanism, but in the high-temperature range multiple crazing was the major fatigue mechanism. Finally, a “stress intensity factor”—biased Arrhenius equation for fatigue crack growth was suggested and found to predict rather accurately the data of uPVC, as well as those of other polymeric materials at different temperatures.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of processing of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipes on fatigue-crack growth in terms of mean stress, frequency and fatigue-crack initiation, as well as on creep rupture, were investigated. No significant processing effect was observed on fatigue crack growth rates and fatigue crack initiation. However, creep rupture with three-point bending tests was significantly affected by the processing level. Two orders of magnitude difference in time to failure were found between well and poorly processed pipes caused by the large difference in the stress intensity factor at fracture instability between these pipes.

    Notes: Fracture toughness of rubber modified epoxy systems was evaluated in relation to stresswhitening. The epoxy systems consisted of diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin, 4,4′ diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) as curing agent, and carboxylterminated butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN) rubber. It was found that a peak value of fracture toughness occurs at a small amount of rubber content (∼ 4 phr) and closely corresponds to that of stress-whitening size. Other properties such as flexural strength and flexural modulus were also found to display maxima at a similar amount of rubber content. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
