Effects of shear flow on long-ranged correlations,spinodal demixing kinetics,and the location of the critical point and cloud point

A derivation of an expression for the shear rate-dependent Ornstein Zernike structure factor is discussed, together with the resulting anomalous behavior of the turbidity. The predicted scaling behavior of the turbidity, comprising the effect of both temperature and shear rate, is in good agreement with experiments on binary fluids. Then initial spinodal decomposition is discussed, and an explicit expression for the time- and shear rate-dependent effective diffusion coefficient is derived, which shows all the typical characteristics of anisotropic light scattering patterns that are observed experimentally for binary fluids. Next it is shown that the spinodal is shifted linearly with the (bare) Peclet number for not too large Peclet numbers, whereas the cloud point is singularly displaced into the unstable region due to a shear now. This is in agreement with an experiment on a two-polymer/solvent mixture and binary fluid mixtures. It is argued that light scattering is useless to determine the location of the spinodal of a sheared system.Paper presented at the Twelfth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 19–24, 1994, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.     

Viscosity of a phase-separating critical mixture

Onuki has predicted the existence of a significant enhancement of the viscosity of a liquid mixture in the course of spinodal decomposition. We discuss a method to measure this effect in a critical mixture of isobutyric acid and water in which spinodal decomposition is induced by a pressure-quench technique. In addition, by varying the static pressure in the homogeneous phase, experimental information about the dynamic critical exponent for the viscosity is obtained.Paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.     

Critical dynamics of a sheared micellar solution

We have investigated the dynamic behavior of a nonionic micellar solution of tetra-ethylene glycoln-decylether (C₁₀ E₄) in water near its critical point in the presence of shear. The non-Newtonian behavior of the viscosity can be represented by * = [ 1 +a(S₄)=]², where* is the viscosity in the absence of shear,S is the shear rate. ₄ is the lifetime of the critical Iluctuations,a is a system-dependent constant, and = 0.02 In addition, we have found that, before attaining a steady state, the sheared mixture undergoing phase separation shows significant shear-dependent rheological effects due to the presence of concentration domains.Paper presented at the Twelfth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 19–24. 1994, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.     

Viscosity and diffusivity of a binary liquid mixture of critical composition: Study of the system 2-butoxyethanol/water

Results of measurements of the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity and the mutual diffusion coefficient of a 2-butoxyethanol/water mixture of critical composition are reported. The shear viscosities are measured with a capillary viscometer, and the diffusion coefficients by dynamic light scattering. The viscosity data are used to determine the regular (background) and the singular (critical) part of the viscosity and to analyze the crossover regime.Q ₀ has a value ofQ _o = (1.54 ± 0.60) × 10⁶ cm^–1, which is small for a binary mixture of components of small molar mass. The viscosity is dominated by singular contributions in a narrow temperature range (T _c – T) 1.2 K. The singular contributions can be neglected for temperatures (T_c–T) 11 K. The function =_b expz H, given in the literature, represents the viscosity data in the temperature range 3 mK (T _c – T) 25 K using the asymptotic form of the functionH for (q _d/q _c) 0 (q _d,q _c, parameter of the theory). This limit corresponds to the case in which the background diffusion coefficient Lib can be neglected. The reduced diffusion coefficient D^* calculated from the light-scattering data as a function of the scaling variable x(=q) is represented by the approximation of the dynamic scaling function proposed in the literature.     

Experimental and theoretical studies of the elastic behavior of knitted-fabric composites

This paper presents experimental and theoretical studies of the elastic behavior of knitted-fabric composites. In the experimental studies, two types of weft-knit preforms based upon plain-stitch and rib-stitch fabrics were first fabricated and fabric composites were consolidated by using a hand lay-up process. Tensile and rail shear tests were performed, and Young's moduli along the warp and weft directions and shear modulus determined. In order to correlate the preform microstructure with composite elastic properties, geometric models for plain-stitch and rib-stitch fabric composites were developed. Modeling of the elastic behavior was conducted by using an averaging method. The predicted elastic constants are in reasonably good agreement with experimental values. Finally, the limitation and potential of knitted-fabric composites are discussed.     

Spinodal decomposition and nucleation in the presence of flow

Spinodal decomposition and nucleation of critical fluids are discussed in the presence of laminar shear and turbulence on the basis of recent experiments. In such situations we can realize stationary emulsion-like domain structures due to dynamical balance between thermodynamic instability and shear-induced deformations. In the spinodal decomposition case, unique is the strong shear regime in which the shear exceeds the average relaxation rate of the order parameter. In the nucleation case shear can enhance aggregation of droplets, thus speeding up the growth. But if the shear exceeds a relatively small critical value, even critical droplets can be broken, then leading to complete suppression of the droplet formation. We also predict a considerable increase of the effective viscosity and a large non-Newtonian effect due to domains in the course of spinodal decomposition.Invited paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.     

Experimental investigation of the dynamic behavior of frozen clay from the Beiluhe subgrade along the QTR

The dynamic behavior of frozen clay obtained from the Beiluhe permafrost subgrade along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (QTR) was investigated through cryo-dynamic triaxial experiments. The effects of several key factors, including temperature, moisture content, frequency and confining pressure on the dynamic behavior, were analyzed. It was found that a hyperbolic model could describe the dynamic behavior of the frozen clay well. The maximum dynamic shear modulus of the frozen soil decreases as the temperature rises and as the confining pressure decreases; the reference shear strain magnitude decreases as the temperature and confining pressure increase and as the moisture content decreases; the maximum damping ratio increases as the temperature, frequency and confining pressure increase and as the moisture content decreases. There exists a critical moisture content (around 18%) that maximizes the dynamic shear modulus; at the critical frequency (about 6 Hz), the dynamic shear modulus is at its maximum, and the reference shear strain magnitude and the damping ratio attenuation exponent are at their respective minima. Moreover, functions were proposed to quantitatively describe the relationship between frozen clay dynamic parameters and various influencing factors.     

Rheological behavior of a bismaleimide resin system for RTM process

The curing properties and rheological behavior of a bismaleimide resin system were studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis and viscometer measurements, respectively. A dual-Arrhenius viscosity model and an engineering viscosity model were established to predict the resin rheological behavior of this resin system. The two viscosity models were compared. The results show that the two models are both suitable for predicting the viscosity in the mold filling stage of resin transfer molding (RTM). However, the engineering model provides a more accurate prediction of the viscosity near the gel point. The effectiveness of the engineering viscosity model is verified both in isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. The limitation of the engineering model is that it cannot be used to predict the viscosity after cross-linking of the curing system. The engineering viscosity models can be used to predict the processing windows of different processing parameters of the RTM process, which is critical for the simulation and the optimization of composite manufacturing processes.

Experimental and numerical study of the impact behavior of SMC plates

Steel components absorb impact energy by plastic deformation whilst composite materials absorbing it by damage mechanisms such as fiber debonding, fiber fracture, and matrix cracking. Therefore, in order to properly substitute metal components with composite ones in industrial applications, the impact property of composite materials must be well known. In this study, the impact behavior of sheet molding compounds (SMC), which is widely used in automobile industry due to its relatively low cost and high productivity, was examined both experimentally and numerically. In order to investigate the impact behavior of SMC, an experimental study was carried out by setting up a drop weight impact test system. Using this system, the dissipated impact energies of SMC flat plates were measured to investigate the influence of the mass and shape of impactor, initial velocity, and specimen thickness on the impact behavior.

For numerical predictions, a modified damage model for SMC was developed and adopted in the user defined material subroutine of the commercial simulation program LS-DYNA3D. For the sake of improving efficiency of impact simulations, the SMC material property was determined in consideration of the local differences of the fiber volume fractions. The dissipated impact energies under various conditions and the reliability of the developed impact simulation process were examined through comparisons of the predicted data with the experimental results.

From this comparison, it was found that, in the scope of current study, the specimen thickness is the most important parameter that should be considered in the design of SMC components for the aspect of impact behavior.

Influence of hydrostatic pressure on the mechanical behavior and properties of unidirectional, laminated, graphite-fiber/epoxy-matrix thick composites

This paper reviews and gives new insight into earlier work by the author and his co-workers on the experimental investigation of the influence of superimposed hydrostatic pressure on the mechanical behavior and properties of the epoxy used for the matrix and unidirectionally laminated, graphite-fiber/ epoxy-matrix thick composites. The direction of the fibers was, respectively, 0°, 45° and 90° for the compressive test samples and 0°, 45° -45° and 90° for the shear samples.

Hydrostatic pressure induces very significant, often dramatic changes in the compressive and shear stress/ strain behavior of composites, and consequently in the elastic, yielding, deformation and fracture properties. The range of pressures covered for the compressive experiments was 1 bar to 4 kbar, and for the shear tests 1 bar to 6 kbar. The shear modulus (G) of the epoxy increased bilinearly with pressure, with the break, or the discontinuity point, occurring at 2 kbar. The compressive elastic modulus (E) and the shear modulus (G) of the composites increase in the same manner as for the epoxy. The break, which is located at 2 kbar, represents a pressure at which physical changes in the molecular motion of the matrix epoxy occur. That is, segmental motion of molecules between the cross-links is frozen in by 2 kbar pressure. This pressure is known as the secondary glass transition pressure of the epoxy at room temperature. Alternatively, the sub-zero secondary glass transition temperature of the epoxy is shifted to ambient temperature by 2 kbar pressure. The increase in the moduli may also be given a mechanical interpretation. The elastic or shear modulus of an isotropic, elastic material due to small compressive or shear deformations, respectively, superimposed on a finite volume deformation, which is caused by hydrostatic pressure, increases with pressure. Such an increase in E or G has been predicted using finite deformation theory of elasticity.

The normally brittle epoxy develops yielding when the superimposed hydrostatic pressure exceeds 2 kbar. The shear yield stress (1% off-set) of the epoxy increases linearly with pressure above 2 kbar. This kind of yielding behavior can be predicted by a pressure-dependent yield criterion. The compressive yield strength of the 45° and 90° composites increases bilinearly with pressure, and the shear yield strength of the 0°, 45° and 90° composites also increases bilinearly with pressure. This bilinear behavior is also due to the secondary glass transition pressure of the matrix epoxy, being located at 2 kbar. The fracture strength of the composites also increases with pressure linearly and the greatest increase occurs in the 45° composite in compression and in the −45° composite in shear. The fracture modes of the composites undergo changes with increasing hydrostatic pressure. For instance, the 0° composite undergoes a brittle-ductile transition under shear stress, while no such transition appears to set in under compressive stress. The fracture mode of the 45° composite changes from matrix failure at lower pressures to fiber failure at high pressures under shear stress.     

Experimental and modeling studies on mixing behavior of binary mixtures in a spout-fluid bed

Experimental and modeling studies have been performed to determine mixing characteristics of binary mixtures in a spout-fluid bed. Spherical glass beads of diameters (3.075, 1.7, 1.2, and 0.75?mm) and air as fluidizing medium have been used in the study. Effect of various system parameters, namely, initial static bed height, gas velocity, diameter ratio, mixture composition, and sampling time on mixing of binary particles has been experimentally investigated. A dimensionless correlation has been developed for mixing index. Mixing behavior has been modeled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Training of ANN was performed using the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) backpropagation algorithm to predict the mixing index. The predictions of the ANN were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results and predictions from developed correlations.

Effect of a high-density current pulse on the relaxation of shear stresses

The procedure and several results of experimental studies on the high-density current pulse-induced relaxation of shear stresses are presented. A significant nonthermal current effect on shear strain kinetics has been established. The strain rate of the metal in shear under the action of a current pulse is shown to be determined by the viscosity factor, like under high-rate inelastic deformation.

Experimental study and correlation of the viscosity of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)-water mixtures

The kinematic viscosity of pure 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, water, and their mixtures was measured with Ubbelohde capillary viscometers at ambient pressure. The study covers the full range of compositions in the liquid region between the bubble and the freezing line. The viscosity was found to vary by a factor of 280 from 0.30 to 87.2 cSt. It exhibits a pronounced maximum at high H₂O mole fractions and a flat minimum at high TFE concentrations. The temperature dependence of viscosity was correlated individually for each composition and three mixing rules were tested which are widely used for alcohol-water mixtures. The data were represented best with Dizechi's equation.Paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.Formerly National Bureau of Standards     

Optimizing the design and impact behavior of a polymeric enclosure

This paper focuses on the application of finite element analysis to design an electronic enclosure with improved impact resistance properties. With the growing push towards miniaturization there is a constant decrease in the wall thickness of the enclosure applications. This necessitates use of ribs to enhance the impact resistance. This study aims at investigating optimal design of ribs for improving impact resistance. The ‘DSGZ’ phenomenological constitutive model, which uniformly describes the entire range of stress–strain constitutive relationship of polymers under any monotonic loading mode is used to predict the plastic failure energies. Several simulation runs were performed based on the design parameters using a 2³ factorial design of experiments. The results from these simulations were used to analyze and study the various design parameters and its influence on the impact energy. It was found that when designing enclosures with ribs with an objective to maximize the impact failure energy, stress should be laid on optimizing the ratio of wall thickness to rib height within permissible limits while center-to-center spacing between the ribs and rib thickness do not have a significant effect.
