基于注意力机制的时空深度学习方法,用于对 CFRP 材料中几乎不可见的撞击损伤进行分类
Most existing machine learning approaches for analysing thermograms mainly focus on either thermal images or pixel-wise temporal profiles of specimens. To fully leverage useful information in thermograms, this article presents a novel spatiotemporal-based deep learning model incorporating an attention mechanism. Using captured thermal image sequences, the model aims to better characterise barely visible impact damages (BVID) in composite materials caused by different impact energy levels. This model establishes the relationship between patterns of BVID in thermography and their corresponding impact energy levels by learning from spatial and temporal information simultaneously. Validation of the model using 100 composite specimens subjected to five different low-velocity impact forces demonstrates its superior performance with a classification accuracy of over 95%. The proposed approach can contribute to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) community by enabling cause analysis of impact incidents based on predicting the potential impact energy levels. This enables more targeted predictive maintenance, which is especially significant in the aviation industry, where any impact incidents can have catastrophic consequences.

PVA 纤维和多壁碳纳米管加固对工程土工聚合物复合材料单轴压缩疲劳性能的影响
As a new type of green and environmentally friendly cementing material, engineered geopolymer composites (EGC) have broad application prospects. In this study, uniaxial compression fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the fatigue properties of geopolymer material. A total of 137 samples were tested to investigate the effects of carbon nanotubes content, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers volume content, and maximum stress level on the fatigue life and deformation of geopolymers. The results showed that the fatigue life of geopolymers obeys Weibull distribution, and PVA fibers and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) achieved multiscale enhancement of the fatigue life by up to 16.34 times. The total strain accumulation, residual strain, and fatigue stiffness of the geopolymers under fatigue loading exhibited a three-stage evolution rule, with stability within the secondary creep branch. In the process of EGC production, the innovative adoption of optimized MWCNTs surface modification and dispersion strategies improved the uniformity of MWCNTs distribution in the matrix. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the hybridization of MWCNTs and PVA fibers at the microscopic level, which can achieve multi-scale enhancement of geopolymers. This study successfully optimized the content of MWCNTs and PVA fibers, further expanding the application range of composite materials.

切割碳纤维增强树脂/陶瓷基复合材料时的刀具磨损:综述
Carbon fiber reinforced resin/ceramic matrix composites are multiphase materials composed of fiber, interface and matrix. They are increasingly in demand for applications in aerospace, energy, sports, transportation and other fields because of their excellent mechanical properties. However, their non-homogeneous and anisotropic properties cause rapid tool wear during machining, which reduces machining efficiency and aggravates machining damage such as delamination and burr. It seriously restricts the further application of composite materials. A comprehensive understanding of wear mechanism is required to control the tool wear rate in composite machining. However, there is a lack of review of tool wear behavior in composite machining. The present work is focused on the research advances in tool wear issues when machining carbon fiber reinforced resin/ceramic matrix composites. The wear mechanism of carbide, coating and polycrystalline diamond tools under different machining conditions is expounded. Methods for characterizing tool wear are compared. The effect of tool wear on machining quality is summarized. Finally, the development trends and future research content of the tool wear problem are discussed.

具有独特 "流苏-束带 "形态的超增韧三元共混物的机理和性能
Polyamide 6 (PA6) has been widely used in field of automotive, electrical-electronics. However, its intrinsic brittleness and sensitivity to notches necessitates improvements for more desirable overall performance. The super-toughened PA6/maleic anhydride modified styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene copolymer (mSEBS)/PTFE ternary blends (PA6/mSEBS/PTFE) were designed and carefully investigated. Surprisingly, it is found that the PA6 ternary blends display much better elongation at break by 180 %, which is 6 times higher than normal PA6/mSEBS binary blend. The maximum notched Izod and Charpy impact strength for PA6/mSEBS20/PTFE ternary blend were 98 kJ/m2 and 104 kJ/m2, respectively, while only 35 kJ/m2 for PA6/mSEBS20 binary blends. It is found in mechanism investigation that a novel “tassel-bundle” (TB) network morphology is observed, different from the conventional sea-island morphology observed in PA6/mSEBS binary blends. The forming mechanism of novel “tassel-bundle” structure, and the influence of PTFE on morphology formation and mechanical properties of (PA6/mSEBS/PTFE ternary blends will be investigated respectively
Comparison between microstructural analysis of GFRP and CFRP rebars using micro computed tomography (μCT), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and acoustic emission (AE) techniques
Maha Ghaib, Mohammadhadi Shateri, Douglas Thomson, Dagmar Svecova
The internal micro-structure of glass and carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars subjected to tensile loading was investigated using micro computed tomography (μCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Three dimensional (3D) and two dimensional (2D) reconstructed μCT images were used to study and quantify the void volume and its distribution along with FRP rebar samples after being subjected to tensile loads. The void volume was observed to increase in all samples as the tensile load on the samples was increased. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring during the tensile loading was also employed to establish a correlation between the AE parameters and damage evolution in the FRP samples. Cumulative energy of AE signal in frequency domain was used to monitor the progression of the internal damage in the FRP reinforcing rebars. A high correlation was observed between the void volume measured by μCT and SEM and the cumulative energy of the AE signal.
