Modification of non‐Newtonian flow behavior of aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) by conducting polypyrrole prepared by in situ polymerization of pyrrole

The rheological behavior of an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polypyrrole (PPY) dispersions prepared by ferric chloride (FeCl₃)‐catalyzed polymerization of pyrrole was investigated at 12°C using a coaxial rotational viscometer. The results show that the addition of a low dose of FeCl₃ to the PVA solution greatly influences its rheology. The prominent shear‐thickening (dilatant) nature of PVA turns significantly pseudoplastic (shear thinning) in the presence of FeCl₃. Polypyrrole‐loaded PVA was obtained in a stable, optically clear dispersion by in situ polymerization of pyrrole in an aqueous PVA solution (5%) using FeCl₃ as the oxidative catalyst at 12°C. The PPY dispersions in aqueous PVA systems having a low loading of PPY and low Fe⁺³ content retain the dilatant character of an aqueous PVA solution; however, for an aqueous PVA system having a relatively high PPY loading and also a high Fe⁺³ content, prominent pseudoplastic (shear thinning) behavior is exhibited. The odd novel rheological patterns exhibited by a PVA solution in the absence and presence of FeCl₃ and the PVA–PPY dispersions containing FeCl₃ under different sets of conditions are explained on the basis of the complexation of PVA by Fe⁺³ and related ions and also as a consequence of some degree of H‐bonding and chemical grafting between the support polymer PVA and the PPY formed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Unified Model for the Mixing of Non‐Newtonian Fluids in the Laminar,Transition, and Turbulent Region

Summary: Non‐Newtonian fluid behavior has significant influence on quantities in chemical engineering like power input, mixing time, heat transfer etc. In the laminar flow region, the concept of effective viscosity by Metzner and Otto is well established. In the transition region between laminar and turbulent flow, the existing concepts use three and even more empirical parameters to determine the specific power input. Here, a unified and general but simple approach is introduced to calculate the power input for shear thinning fluids over the whole flow region using just one empirical parameter. The Metzner‐Otto relation is obtained as a limiting case for the laminar region. The empirical parameter of the new approach is related to the Metzner‐Otto constant. The concept is validated for eight different stirrer systems. Mixing time and maximum shear rate and heat transfer can also be calculated using this approach. The new concept presented should also be applicable for other apparatuses, e.g., static mixers.

Effects of apitong (Dipterocarpus spp.) extractives on bond strength development and curing rate of adhesives

Emulsion polymer isocyanate ( ), polyvinyl acetate ( ) and resorcinol-formaldehyde ( ) adhesives were used to produce single lap shear specimens using resinous and non-resinous apitong (Dipterocarpus spp.) timbers. Tests showed that joints made with highly resinous apitong were about 40% weaker than similar joints made with non-resinous apitong. The resinous apitong was treated with different solvents to yield five different extractives which were characterized by infra-red analysis. Apitong extractives were then added to and adhesives and joints made with buna (Fagus crenata), a timber known to be low in extractives and easy to bond. Joints prepared using extractive-containing adhesives were generally weaker than those made with the unmodified adhesives. RF adhesives containing extractives cured more slowly than unmodified . It is thought that the acidic nature of the extractives changes the pH of the system sufficiently to affect the curing mechanism

A force control high-order single-step-β method (HSM) for substructure pseudo-dynamic testing

This paper proposes a new technique which introduces the high-order single-step-β method(HSM)into the experimental study on the substructure pseudo-dynamic testing(SPDT).The technique is based on the proposed concept of equivalent shear stiffness which can meet the requirement of the HSM algorithm.A study is done to theoretically validate the technique by the numerical analysis of two-storey shear building structure,in comparison of the proposed substructure pseudo-dynamic testing algorithm with the central difference method(CDM).Then,a full-scale SPDT model,the three-storey frame-supported reinforced concrete short-limb masonry shear wall structure,is designed and tested to simulate the seismic response of the corresponding six-storey structure and verify the proposed force control HSM technique.Meanwhile,the techniques of both stiffness correction and force control are suggested to control algorithmic error,control error and measurement error.The results indicate that the force control HSM can be used in the full-scale multi-degree-of-freedom(MDOF)substructure pseudo-dynamic testing before descent segment of structure restoring force properties.     

Sensor placement for structural damage detection with modal data

A new method is presented for prioritizing sensor locations for structural health monitoring (SHM). In view of the needs of SHM and damage detection,sensor locations are optimized for the purpose of both sensitivity for local damages and independence of the target mode. However,the two different optimization criterions lead to an inconsistency of the optimal result. Considering the structural response changes that result from damage,the relationship between the structural response and damage is deduced from the structural motion equation by a quasi-analytical mode. Based on the harmony between damage identifiability and mode observability,an object function is set up,including the information of mode independence and damage sensitivity. Utilizing the technique of singular value decomposition,an interior algorithm for the optimum sensor placement is proposed with the multiple objective criterions of minimizing the condition number of coefficient matrix and maximizing the fisher information matrix. A numerical example shows that this approach can effectively avoid the contradiction between the two different optimization criterions. Comparing with the result of single object,the result of damage detection from the optical sensor locations is much more accurate.     

Numerical simulation on bolted rock joint shearing performance

A Double Shear Model(DSM)was used in a numerical simulation on bolted rock joint shearing performance.An entire bolt deformed as the letter"U"under a shear load between two joints.Near the bolt-joint intersection,the bolt partly deformed as the letter"Z".There were two critical points along the bolt: one was at the bolt-joint intersection with zero bending moment and the other at the maximum bending moment(plastic hinge)with zero shear stress.The blocks on two sides slid along the bolt as it deformed.A separation area was found between the two joint contact surfaces of the middle rock block and sided block.This area of separation was related to bolt diameter and external forces.We assume that this area is related to the work of external forces.Further research is needed.
