Ni/PU杂化泡沫中尺寸效应的研究与建模——一种预测泡沫尺寸效应的新模型
For the design and development of new products, the properties of new, multifunctional materials are an important instance for engineers. Therefore, for material testing and simulations a representative volume element (RVE) needs to be found to gain the bulk properties. In the present work, Ni/PU hybrid foams with pore sizes from 10 to 30 ppi (pores per inch) are investigated under quasi static compression in order to determine the RVE for the main characteristics stiffness, plastic collapse stress and plateau stress. In addition a new model to calculate the bulk properties as function of pore geometry including anisotropy is developed and validated against the experimental investigation. It could also be shown, that RVE size is dependant on the investigated mechanical property as well as pore size. Also the mass increase for the coating process is non-linear and mass normalization of all investigated characteristics is indispensable. The model is validated on 20 ppi open cell aluminium foams, where the importance of mass normalization also becomes apparent again. Thus, the model is capable of capturing the behaviour of mechanical characteristics for foam materials in general.
对于新产品的设计和开发,新型多功能材料的性能是工程师的一个重要实例。因此,对于材料测试和模拟,需要找到一个具有代表性的体积元(RVE)来获得体积特性。在本工作中,研究了孔径为10 ~ 30 ppi(孔/英寸)的Ni/PU杂化泡沫在准静态压缩下的RVE,以确定其主要特征刚度、塑性崩溃应力和平台应力。此外,还建立了一个计算孔隙体积特性随孔隙几何形状(包括各向异性)变化的新模型,并通过实验验证了该模型的有效性。还可以表明,RVE的大小取决于所研究的力学性能和孔径。此外,涂层过程的质量增加是非线性的,对所研究的所有特性进行质量归一化是必不可少的。该模型在20 ppi开孔泡沫铝上进行了验证,其中质量归一化的重要性再次变得明显。因此,该模型能够捕获一般泡沫材料的机械特性行为。

单向热塑复合材料熔体中各向异性抗剪切性能的扭转流变学临界评价
This study critically evaluates oscillatory and transient torsion bar techniques for characterizing the in-plane shear resistance of unidirectional thermoplastic composites in melt. Small-strain oscillatory torsion tests, analyzed using a linear viscoelastic model, showed good agreement with the initial slope of the torque-rotation curve obtained from transient torsion tests. However, the limited strain range restricts the model’s applicability to small deformations. Deformation measurements on specimens subjected to larger strains by means of the transient torsion tests revealed anisotropic and inhomogeneous behavior, with significant through-thickness shear rather than the intended in-plane shear. This observed anisotropy contradicts the transverse isotropy assumption originally used in modeling. To address this, a nonlinear anisotropic viscoelastic model was proposed, offering improved accuracy. Despite this enhancement, the inability to precisely control or monitor the desired deformations during testing raises concerns about the reliability of the transient torsion rheometry method.
本研究批判性地评估了振荡和瞬态扭转杆技术,以表征单向热塑性复合材料在熔体中的面内剪切阻力。采用线性粘弹性模型对小应变振荡扭转试验进行分析,结果与瞬态扭转试验得到的扭矩-旋转曲线初始斜率吻合较好。然而,有限的应变范围限制了模型对小变形的适用性。通过瞬态扭转试验对大应变下试样的变形测量显示出各向异性和非均匀性,具有显著的贯穿厚度剪切而不是预期的面内剪切。这种观察到的各向异性与最初在建模中使用的横向各向同性假设相矛盾。为了解决这个问题,提出了一种非线性各向异性粘弹性模型,提高了精度。尽管有这种改进,但在测试过程中无法精确控制或监测所需的变形,这引起了人们对瞬态扭转流变法可靠性的担忧。

纤维表面状态对原位聚合聚酰胺6/玄武岩纤维复合材料热力学和界面性能的影响
This study investigates the thermomechanical properties and interfacial adhesion of novel in-situ polymerized anionic polyamide 6 (aPA6) composites reinforced with basalt fibers (BF). The impact of different BF surface states− as-received (BFa), ethanol-washed (BFw), and thermally desized (BFu) − on composite performance is examined through a comprehensive approach. For the first time, anionic PA6/BF composites with very low residual monomer content were successfully produced via thermoplastic resin transfer molding (tRTM). The PA6/BFw composites exhibited the highest interlaminar/interfacial shear strength in short beam shear test (52 ± 8 MPa) and fiber push out test (34 ± 11 MPa) tests. Fiber microdebonding test, performed only on PA6/BFw, yielded a low interfacial shear strength (12 ± 4 MPa), which was attributed to droplet porosity resulting from concurrent polymerization and crystallization. Thermal desizing significantly deteriorated interfacial strength (19.6 ± 1.2 MPa in SBS). This multi-technique characterization provides insights into optimizing the fiber–matrix adhesion in these advanced thermoplastic composites.
研究了玄武岩纤维(BF)增强的新型原位聚合阴离子聚酰胺6 (ap6)复合材料的热力学性能和界面附着力。通过全面的方法研究了不同的BF表面状态-接收状态(BFa),乙醇洗涤状态(BFw)和热脱浆状态(BFu) -对复合材料性能的影响。通过热塑性树脂传递模塑(tRTM)技术,首次成功制备了单体残留含量极低的阴离子型PA6/BF复合材料。PA6/BFw复合材料在短梁剪切试验(52 ± 8 MPa)和纤维推出试验(34 ± 11 MPa)中表现出最高的层间/界面剪切强度。仅在PA6/BFw上进行的纤维微剥离测试显示,界面剪切强度较低(12 ± 4 MPa),这是由于同时聚合和结晶造成的液滴孔隙。热退浆显著降低了SBS的界面强度(19.6 ± 1.2 MPa)。这种多技术表征为优化这些高级热塑性复合材料的纤维-基质粘附性提供了见解。

碳纳米管在胶结元结构中的多重应用激发了宽带近完美微波吸收的协同谐振介电效应
Metallic and dielectric metamaterials (MMs)/ metastructures possess exceptional advantages in enhancing electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption, yet they present inherent limitations, and obtaining highly efficient absorbers with a lower filling ratio and larger absorption bandwidth poses a challenge. In this study, by multi utilizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in MMs to excite the synergistic resonator-dielectric effect, an averaged 99 % absorption in 2–18 GHz is achieved. Using a layered cementitious metastructure as a case study, CNT paste is coated to the metastructure as a resonator, and CNTs are dispersed in cementitious dielectric as an absorbing agent. A model is proposed to reveal how the multi-function of CNTs manifest in the absorption performance, and the synergistic resonator-dielectric effects are thoroughly analyzed. Experimental results show that broadband near-perfect absorption can be achieved with only 0.95 wt% CNT content: the metastructure exhibits −21.3 dB average reflectivity (>99 % absorption), 9.6 GHz bandwidth for −20 dB (99 % absorption) and 2.5 GHz bandwidth for −30 dB (99.9 % absorption) in 2–18 GHz. This investigation reveals new synergistic mechanisms between the resonator and the dielectric, advancing the fundamental understanding of MMs, offering potential applications in various fields including communication systems, stealth technology and energy harvesting.

环氧/二氧化硅纳米复合材料裂纹止裂机制的定量评价
The toughening mechanisms of epoxy polymers modified with silica nanoparticles have been understood to be dominated by nanoparticle debonding and subsequent plastic void growth. In this study, to elucidate the scenario through which these toughening factors are achieved, the crack propagation process was investigated using both experimental and analytical approaches. In situ transmission electron microscopy observations, molecular dynamics simulations to estimate fracture criteria, and finite element analyses based on fracture mechanics were performed on silica nanoparticle-modified epoxy thin films. The results revealed that crack propagation involves elementary processes, including crack arrest by nanoparticles, matrix plastic deformation in the vicinity of nanoparticles, and debonding at the particle/matrix interface. It was demonstrated that a seamless finite element analysis representing these elementary processes can quantitatively clarify the toughening mechanisms leading to the final failure. The fracture energy due to the crack arrest by a single nanoparticle was found to be several times higher than that for unmodified epoxy, which delays crack propagation rate and promotes large-scale plastic deformation of the surrounding area at a rate faster than the crack propagation. The toughening mechanisms in epoxy/silica nanocomposites is underpinned by the persistent occurrence of crack arrest behavior by individual nanoparticles.
二氧化硅纳米颗粒改性环氧聚合物的增韧机制主要是纳米颗粒的脱粘和随后的塑性空洞生长。在本研究中,为了阐明这些增韧因素实现的场景,采用实验和分析方法研究了裂纹扩展过程。对纳米二氧化硅改性环氧薄膜进行了原位透射电镜观察、分子动力学模拟以估计断裂准则,以及基于断裂力学的有限元分析。结果表明,裂纹扩展包括纳米颗粒的裂纹止裂、纳米颗粒附近的基体塑性变形以及颗粒/基体界面的脱粘等基本过程。结果表明,代表这些基本过程的无缝有限元分析可以定量地阐明导致最终失效的增韧机制。单个纳米颗粒的止裂能比未改性环氧树脂的断裂能高几倍,从而延缓了裂纹扩展速度,并以比裂纹扩展更快的速度促进了周围区域的大规模塑性变形。环氧/二氧化硅纳米复合材料的增韧机制是由单个纳米颗粒持续出现的裂纹止裂行为所支撑的。
