Light composite elliptic springs for vehicle suspension

For composites to compete in vehicle suspension applications, it is essential to control their failure by utilising their strength in principal direction instead of shear. This can be achieved efficiently by employing a new configuration instead of existing one. This study marries between an elliptical configuration and the woven roving composites.

In this paper, the influence of ellipticity ratio on performance of woven roving wrapped composite elliptical springs has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. A series of experiments was conducted for composite elliptical springs with ellipticity ratios (a/b) ranging from one to two. Typical failure histories of their failure mechanism are presented and discussed. In general, this study demonstrated that composites elliptical spring can be used for light and heavy trucks and meet the requirements, together with substantial weight saving. The results showed that the ellipticity ratio significantly influenced the spring rate and failure loads. Composite elliptic spring with ellipticity ratios of a/b 2.0 displayed the highest spring rate.     

Cooling rate effects on the microstructure and phase formation in Zr51Cu20.7Ni12Al16.3 bulk metallic glass

A detailed transmission electron microscope (TEM) study has been conducted to investigate the microstructures of the Zr₅₁Cu_20.7Ni₁₂Al_16.3 metallic glass formed at different cooling rates. It has been found that the most competitive crystalline phase to the amorphous structure is an oxygen-stabilized FCC NiZr₂-type phase, which in turn acts as the leading phase to trigger the formation of other crystalline phases in the slow-cooled alloy.     

Numerical evaluation of the effects of friction and geometric nonlinearities on the energy release rate in three- and four-point bend end-notched flexure tests

Nonlinear finite element analyses are used to examine the effects of friction and geometric nonlinearities on the energy release rate in three- and four-point bend end-notched flexure tests. Energy release rates are first determined by a recently developed direct energy balance approach. It is shown that the finite diameter loading rollers that are typically used in practical test set-ups cause both tests to be inherently nonlinear. The effect of these nonlinearities on the energy release rate is shown to be larger in the four point than the three point test and to increase with increasing roller diameter, increasing coefficient of friction along the crack plane, and decreasing supporting span length. For the four point test, the effect of these nonlinearities is also shown to increase with increasing ratio of inner to outer span length. Next, energy release rates at the onset of crack advance are determined by a simulated compliance calibration technique. This “perceived toughness” is compared with predictions of the “true toughness” given by the direct energy balance approach at the same load. It is shown that perceived toughnesses from this simulated compliance calibration procedure are larger than previously reported results that were obtained in a similar fashion using linear theory. In addition, the perceived toughness is shown to strongly depend upon the range used for fitting the load versus deflection data to obtain compliance. These findings are used to make some general recommendations regarding use of the two test methods and their associated data reduction techniques.     

High temperature piezoelectric materials: Defect chemistry and electro-mechanical properties

Langasite (La₃Ga₅SiO₁₄, LGS) and gallium orthophosphate (GaPO₄) resonators exhibit piezoelectrically exited bulk acoustic waves at temperatures of up to at least 1400^∘C and 900^∘C, respectively. Their mass sensitivity at elevated temperatures has been found to be about as high as that of quartz at room temperature. Within its operation temperature range, GaPO₄ shows significantly lower losses than LGS. Factors restricting application relevant properties of LGS at elevated temperatures, such as the mass resolution, include excessive viscous damping. Therefore, the effective viscosity is determined as a function of the temperature by fitting the calculated complex impedance to the experimental data in the vicinity of the resonance frequency. The viscosity shows an Arrhenius-like behavior if a temperature independent contribution is subtracted. The activation energies of the viscosity for LGS and GaPO₄ correspond to those of the bulk electrical conductivity for each material. Viscosity and conductivity are obviously correlated. Therefore, it is highly likely that the predominant conductivity mechanism also controls the mechanical damping. First attempts to minimize the viscosity of LGS by doping are undertaken. Very light doping does, however, not change the conductivity and viscosity of LGS. Higher doping levels have to be applied and tested. Based on the electromechanical properties given for undoped LGS, the applicability of this material as resonant gas sensor at 600^∘C is demonstrated.     

Preparation of SnO2 whiskers via the decomposition of tin oxalate

A new method for preparing SnO₂ whiskers by the decomposition of SnC₂O₄ is suggested. A Whisker-like morphology of a SnC₂O₄ precipitate was attained via the gradual addition of an oxalic acid solution to a hot SnCl₂ aqueous solution (T > 50^∘C). In comparison, when the solution temperature was either lower than 50^∘C or when ethanol was used as the solvent, the SnC₂O₄ precipitate showed an angular and relatively isotropic morphology. The morphology of the SnC₂O₄ precipitate remained even after its thermal decomposition into SnO₂ at 400^∘C indicating that SnC₂O₄ precipitation is a key step in preparing the whiskers. The formation mechanism of SnO₂ whiskers was explained by the supersaturation during the precipitation of SnC₂O₄.

Strain rate sensitivity of tensile properties in high Nb containing TiAl alloys

The effect of strain rate on the yield strength of high Nb containing TiAl alloy was studied. The results show that the strain rate sensitivity varies with the test temperature, and the yield strength is not sensitive to the strain rate at room temperature but significantly sensitive to the strain rate at high temperature. An increase of the strain rate or a decrease of the temperature results in an obvious change of fracture mode. It is found that the strain rate sensitivity of this alloy varying with temperature is due to the dislocation climb generated at high temperature.

Increased Vulnerability to Stress Following Opiate Exposures: Behavioral and Autonomic Correlates.

The authors used rats to study the impact of a history of opiate exposures on behavioral and autonomic responses to restraint stress. Brief restraint (30 min) provoked tachycardia and a pressor response, anxiety (as indexed by social interaction), grooming, and reduced exploration. The pressor response was reduced at 1 day, but not 7 days, after last opiate exposure; tachycardia was unaffected (Experiment 1). Stress-induced anxiety was potentiated 1 and 7 days after last opiate exposure (Experiment 2), and this potentiation was a function of dose (Experiment 3) and duration (Experiment 4) of opiate exposure. The results show that a history of opiate exposures alters vulnerability to stress and has implications for understanding coping, anxiety, and emotionality in former opiate users.
