A numerical investigation on the geometry dependence of the crack growth resistance in CT specimens

The influence of the specimen thickness B and the ligament length b on the J _R -curves is numerically investigated for CT specimens. The thickness effect is taken into account with 2-D analyses by dividing a plain sided specimen into a plane stress part and a plane strain part. The fracture process is controlled by experimentally determined critical values of the crack tip opening displacement for crack growth initiation (CTOD_i) and the crack tip opening angle for stable crack growth (CTOA_C). It is shown that for the global behaviour of a plain sided specimen, the B/b ratio is essential. The difference between the geometry dependence of the initiation value of the J-integral and the geometry dependence of the slope of the J _R -curves is also shown.     

Three-node, 40 Gbit/s OTDM network experiment using electro-opticswitches

The authors demonstrate, for the first time, a three node optically time division multiplexed network with a maximum capacity of 40 Gbit/s. Electro-optical switches were used for both `drop and insert' and demultiplexing, and electronic clock recovery provided synchronisation throughout the network

Study on polymerization of acrylonitrile with methylacrylate and itaconic acid in mixed solvent

Isothermal crystallization kinetics were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) doped with amorphous carbon or crystalline graphite particles. Both types of carbon forms have been found to affect the crystallization behavior of PPS to different extents. The crystalline graphite particles have a more pronounced effect on the overall rate as well as mechanisms of PPS crystallization than do the amorphous carbon particles. Relative contributions and competition from crystallizations of two different crystals in the later-stage crystallization of PPS have been found to cause the phenomenon of deviation from linearity in the Avrami plots. A sequential crystallization model has been shown to describe well the crystallization behavior of the PPS doped with the particles. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In situ study of the mechanical properties of airborne haze particles

Particulate pollution has raised serious concerns regarding its potential impacts on human health in developing countries. However, much less attention has been paid to the threat of haze particles to machinery and industry. By employing a state-of-the-art in situ scanning electron microscope compression testing technique, we demonstrate that iron-rich and fly ash haze particles, which account for nearly 70% of the total micron-sized spherical haze particles, are strong enough to generate abrasive damage to most engineering alloys, and therefore can generate significant scratch damage to moving contacting surfaces in high precision machineries. Our finding calls for preventive measures to protect against haze related threat.
