Parametric study of surfactant effect on mechanical and dissolution properties of detergent tablets

The aim of this study is to investigate the functional characteristics (mechanical strength and disintegration time) of effervescent detergent tablets containing chlorine provider in the presence of surfactant. A preliminary study high-lighted that the presence of 2% of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was not favorable to the tablet mechanical properties, inducing a lower “bonding ability,” whereas the disintegration time increased, compared with the reference tablets without surfactant. The linear relationship between the disintegration time and the end-dissolution time led us to consider just the disintegration time to express the behavior of the tablets in water. A parametric study has been completed to assess the influence of the mixing method, the nature, the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, the granulometry, and the concentration of the surfactant on the tablet properties. In all cases, surfactant presented adverse effects on the mechanical properties and had a retarding effect on disintegration time, but neither solubility, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, interfacial properties, nor ionic character could be clearly involved to explain surfactant contribution. Furthermore, tablet dissolution could not be correlated to surfactant available surface, as evidenced by granulometry comparison on one side and concentration impact on the other side (a similar effect was observed from 1 to 15%). On the contrary, mechanical properties were damaged as much as the area developed by surfactant particles increased. On the basis of this work, it has been concluded that SDS interacts with the other compounds of the formula by creating weak interparticle bonds and limiting water uptake responsible for disintegration.     

Acoustic emission monitoring and numerical modeling of FRP delamination in RC beams with non-rectangular cross-section

A case study concerning both numerical modeling and in-situ monitoring of a retrofitted RC beam with non-rectangular cross-section is presented. Before retrofitting, non-destructive techniques, such as pull-out and impact tests, were used to estimate the mechanical parameters of concrete. At the same time, a long-term monitoring with the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique was carried out in order to investigate on creep effects and microcracking phenomena. Then, after a complete removal of the overload and retrofitting with FRP sheets, an in-situ loading test was performed. At that stage, the AE technique was again profitably used for the analysis of the cracking progression leading to FRP debonding. A numerical model of the structure is then proposed in the framework of the FE discretization with mechanical parameters estimated according to an inverse analysis on the monitored mechanical behavior of the structure before retrofitting. According to this model it is shown that, when the flexural inertia of the retrofitted beam is considerably higher than that of the unrepaired beam, snap-back instabilities can take place. Finally, considering the self-similarity between the acoustic emission phenomenon and seismicity, an analogy between the snap-back instability of the FRP delamination and that occurring during fault growth is proposed.

Résumé Une étude de cas au sujet de modeler numérique et de surveiller in-situ d’un faisceau monté en rattrapage de RC avec la section transversale non-rectangulaire est présentée. Avant l’adaptation d’un faisceau, des techniques non destructives, telles que des essais à dégagement et à choc, ont été employées pour estimer les paramètres mécaniques du béton. En même temps, une surveillance à long terme avec la technique d’émission acoustique (AE) a été effectuée afin d’étudier sur des effets de fluage et des phénomènes de microfissuration. Puis, après un déplacement complet de la surcharge et l’adaptation ultérieure avec des feuilles de FRP, un essai in-situ de chargement a été réalisé. á cette étape, la technique d’AE a été encore profitablement employée pour l’analyse de la progression de fissures menant au décollement du FRP. On propose alors un modèle numérique de la structure dans le cadre de la discrétisation FE avec des paramètres mécaniques estimés selon une analyse inverse sur le comportement mécanique surveillé de la structure avant l’adaptation ultérieure. Selon ce modèle, on le démontre que, quand l’inertie flexural␣du faisceau monté en rattrapage est considérablement plus haute que cela de la structure non réparé, les instabilités de snap-back peuvent avoir lieu. En conclusion, vu l’auto similarité entre le phénomène d’émission et la séismicité acoustiques, on propose une analogie entre l’instabilité de snap-back du décollement de FRP et cela qui se produit pendant la croissance de défaut.

     

Influence of Precipitates Size and Distribution on Room Temperature Mechanical Properties and Accelerated Creep of X20CrMoV121

The effect of microstructure on creep resistance of the low carbon chromium steel X20CrMoV121 after 100‐hours of static‐load test at a temperature of 580 °C and constant stress of 170 MPa was investigated. The specimens for the experiments were extracted from steam pipes of a steam power plant and heat treated. The effect of isothermal annealing on the microstructure and hardness as well as the kinetics of the precipitation of the carbide particles were determined.

Reduction Annealing for Cast Iron Powder and Its Effect on Sintered Antifriction Material Properties

The effect of reduction annealing for powder obtained from cast iron shavings on powder specimen properties is studied. An approximate mechanism is suggested for the oxidation-reduction process during annealing of cast iron powder. An increase in annealing temperature leads to an increase in carbon gasification rate and change in absolute powder weight. Prior reduction annealing for cast iron powder improves its compactability, and increases the mechanical properties of sintered material. The best mechanical properties were obtained for specimen made from cast iron powder reduced at 1000°C. Alloying an iron-cast iron charge with 3 mass% of nickel-chromium alloy leads to a marked improvement in the mechanical properties of a sintered composite.     

Experimental study of the slug/churn flow transition in a single Taylor bubble

A study is presented of the hydrodynamic behaviour of very long gas slugs, rising co-currently with water along a 20 mm i.d. vertical tube. Visual observation (supported by pictures from video and still cameras) and the signals from a set of three fast response differential pressure transducers, were used to elucidate the flow behaviour of individual slugs of argon, with densities in the range 6.6-21.5 kg/m³ (corresponding to operating pressures in the range 0.4-1.3 MPa), as they rose in water that moved up the tube, with constant average velocity in the range 0.17-1.4 m/s. For the lower gas densities and liquid velocities the slugs were stable, but for the higher liquid velocities and/or gas densities, the slugs would become unstable, as a result of flooding in the wetted wall flow around them. The video sequences show clearly that, at the higher pressures, liquid from the film was dragged up by the gas, while the still pictures document the corresponding transition to churn flow in the lower regions of the rising slugs.     

A genetically informed study of the processes underlying the association between parental marital instability and offspring adjustment.

Parental divorce is associated with problematic offspring adjustment, but the relation may be due to shared genetic or environmental factors. One way to test for these confounds is to study offspring of twins discordant for divorce. The current analyses used this design to separate the mechanisms responsible for the association between parental divorce, experienced either before or after the age of 16, and offspring well-being. The results were consistent with a causal role of divorce in earlier initiation of sexual intercourse and emotional difficulties, in addition to a greater probability of educational problems, depressed mood, and suicidal ideation. In contrast, the increased risk for cohabitation and earlier initiation of drug use was explained by selection factors, including genetic confounds.
