Porosity of recycled concrete with substitution of recycled concrete aggregate: An experimental study

In this paper, we present the experimental analysis of samples of recycled concrete (RC) with replacement of natural aggregate (NA) by recycled aggregate originating from concrete (RCA). The results of the tests of mechanical properties of RC were used for comparison with tests of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), in which the distribution of the theoretical pore radius, critical pore ratio, the surface area of the concrete, threshold ratio and average pore radius were studied at ages of 7, 28 and 90 days. The results showed some variation in the properties of the RC with respect to ordinary concrete. Porosity increases considerably when NA is replaced by RCA. Additionally, a reduction in the mechanical properties of the RC is seen compared with ordinary concrete when porosity increases.     

The effect of temperature on the dynamic characteristics of heat-resistant thermoplastic composites

Two thermoplastic and two thermosetting fibrereinforced plastic composites were subjected to dynamic tests over a wide range of temperature, covering both cryogenic and hot environments. The thermal behaviour of each composite, as indicated by its dynamic mechanical properties, was assessed individually, and was compared collectively with that of the other composites.     

The variability and interdependence of spider drag line tensile properties

There is considerable interest in producing fibres that mimic the impressive tensile properties of spider drag line silk. It must, however, be recognised that these properties have been assessed largely on the basis of their average values; there can be significant variability about these averages. The natural variability can also serve as a useful indicator of the range of values over which particular properties of biomimetic silk may be tailored. Here we quantify several tensile properties of drag line from Argiope trifasciata spiders. We distinguish between two groups of properties on the basis of their statistical coefficient of variation. There is significantly greater scope for tailoring the viscoplastic hardening aspects of drag line, compared to the variability of the initial elastic response or the yield strength. We also consider whether elastic modulus, yield strength and viscoplastic hardening can be controlled independently of one another.

Creep of aromatic polyamide fibres

Creep of Kevlar 29, Kevlar 49 and PRD 49-III fibres was investigated. The fibres exhibited transient creep and the strain-time relationship was represented by a logarithmic time law. The creep strain recovered with time when the load was removed. Upon reloading to the same creep stress the strain-time relationship was again logarithmic but the creep rate was reduced. Modulus measurements were made during the creep test and these showed that the modulus increased with time. This result indicated a crystallite rotation mechanism which could account for the experimentally observed creep strain. Creep in PRD 49-III fibres exhibited a small temperature dependence over the temperature range 20°C to 150°C. The apparent creep activation energy was consistent with the range of values reported for hydrogen bonding. This suggests one possible creep mechanism in which the combined action of stress and thermal activation causes rearrangement of intercrystalline bonds in the crystallite boundaries resulting in boundary creep. Boundary creep allows crystallite rotation which produces the macroscopic creep strain. Boundary creep is discussed in terms of the fibre morphology and a model of delayed elasticity.

圩区排涝模数计算方法研究

合理确定圩区排涝模数对于降低涝灾损失有重要意义。圩区内土地利用性质的不同,会导致产汇流机制和排涝标准的不同,但排涝模数的计算方法基本一致。本文根据圩区下垫面条件进行产汇流计算,入河流量扣除滞蓄量得到排涝模数,充分考虑到圩内河道的调蓄作用。以常熟市为例,对城镇圩区、农业圩区排涝模数进行计算,并分析了两种圩区不同的排涝要求对排涝模数计算方法的影响。     

分子模拟技术对润滑脂滴点的初步预测

制备了不同类型的单皂和复皂润滑脂，测定了其理化性能。采用分子模拟技术对润滑脂滴点进行了初步预测，并计算了润滑脂中各种金属皂分子间氢键键长和分子体积模量。结果表明，复合钙皂和复合锂皂的分子体积模量分别大于钙皂和锂皂的分子体积模量。金属皂分子体积模量与其所形成的润滑脂的滴点呈对应关系，即分子体积模量大的，其形成的润滑脂滴点也高，反之则反。采用分子模拟技术可以从分子的层次指导润滑脂的研究。     

Application of the dynamical flexural resonance technique to industrial materials characterisation

The determination of the Young’s modulus and damping coefficient Q⁻¹ by means of non-destructive vibrating techniques has been applied to bulk and coated industrial materials. Extensions of a previous analytic model of composite beam allow to determine accurately the macroscopic modulus of each component of multilayered structural materials as coated superalloys or nitride-hardened steels. Furthermore, the study of glasses and polymers has been investigated. An attempt of normalisation of the modulus versus temperature curves allows to establish master curves depending on the specific structure, from metallic glasses to polymeric glasses. Finally a comparison of dynamical modulus and Q⁻¹ values measured between resonant (>1 kHz) and subresonant techniques (10⁻³ to 10 Hz) in relation to the loading frequencies applied in real conditions has been under folder. For metallic materials such as forged or rolled titanium alloys, the brittle-to-fragile transition occurs abruptly or smoothly with a shift of 300 K following the range of excitation frequencies.
