Modal testing as a means of quantitative monitoring of damage progression in a model FRP rehabilitated bridge deck system

Although substantial research has been conducted on the application of externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials as a means of strengthening deficient and deteriorating concrete components most studies, and even field monitoring, have been at the component level. There is lack of data regarding the systems level response of strengthening. This paper reports on the results of an investigation of the effect of progressive strengthening of a slab-girder system through initial flexural strengthening of the decks followed by shear strengthening of the central girder. The progression of damage after each phase of loading was assessed through a process of forced vibration based modal testing. The paper focuses on modal testing and model updating procedures as a means of structural health monitoring and indicates that the process can be used effectively to accurately show changes in both local and global response through the different stages of loading. The procedures not only provide an assessment of damage progression and load redistribution in the rehabilitated components, but also enable an accurate representation of response at the systems and local (through support locations) levels.

Synergistically toughening effect of SiC whiskers and nanoparticles in Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-based composite ceramic cutting tool material

In recent decades, many additives with different characteristics have been applied to strengthen and toughen Al₂O₃-based ceramic cutting tool materials. Among them, SiC whiskers and SiC nanoparticles showed excellent performance in improving the material properties. While no attempts have been made to add SiC whiskers and SiC nanoparticles together into the ceramic matrix and the synergistically toughening effects of them have not been studied. An Al₂O₃-SiC_w-SiC_np advanced ceramic cutting tool material is fabricated by adding both one-dimensional SiC whiskers and zero-dimensional SiC nanoparticles into the Al₂O₃ matrix with an effective dispersing and mixing process. The composites with 25 vol% SiC whiskers and 25 vol% SiC nanoparticles alone are also investegated for comparison purposes. Results show that the Al₂O₃-SiC_w-SiC_np composite with both 20 vol% SiC whiskers and 5 vol% SiC nanoparticles additives have much improved mechanical properties. The flexural strength of Al₂O₃-SiC_w-SiC_np is 730±95 MPa and fracture toughness is 5.6±0.6 MPa·m^1/2. The toughening and strengthening mechanisms of SiC whiskers and nanoparticles are studied when they are added either individually or in combination. It is indicated that when SiC whiskers and nanoparticles are added together, the grains are further refined and homogenized, so that the microstructure and fracture mode ratio is modified. The SiC nanoparticles are found helpful to enhance the toughening effects of the SiC whiskers. The proposed research helps to enrich the types of ceramic cutting tool and is benefit to expand the application range of ceramic cutting tool.     

Design and fabrication of Si3N4/(W,Ti)C graded nano-composite ceramic tool materials

Si₃N₄/(W, Ti)C graded nano-composite ceramic tool materials with different thickness ratios and number of layers were fabricated by hot pressing technology. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness of the sintered composites were tested and the microstructure and indention cracks were observed. The experiment results showed that the five-layer graded nano-composites with a thickness ratio of 0.2, which were sintered under a pressure of 30 MPa at 1700 °C in vacuum condition for 45 min, had the optimum comprehensive mechanical properties with a flexural strength of 1080.3 MPa, a hardness of 17.64 GPa, and a fracture toughness of 10.87 MPa·m^1/2. The formation of elongated β-Si₃N₄ grains contributes to the favorable mechanical properties. The graded structure can induce residual compressive stress in the surface layer and enhance the mechanical properties. The strengthening and toughening mechanisms are a synergistic effect of intergranular and transgranular fracture, crack bridging and deflection.

W-4Re-0.27HfC合金的1500~1700℃拉伸蠕变性能及损伤机理

本文研究了粉末冶金制备的W-4Re-0.27HfC合金的拉伸蠕变行为,测试环境为真空,蠕变温度为1500~1700℃,蠕变应力为40~60MPa。采用SEM、EBSD和TEM观察其微观组织,表征晶粒尺寸和位错等组织在蠕变过程中的演变规律。结果表明,W-4Re-0.27HfC合金的稳态蠕变速率范围为1′10-7~5′10-6,较纯钨(W)低两个数量级。W-4Re-0.27HfC合金抗蠕变性能优于纯W主要原因是弥散分布的HfC颗粒钉扎位错和Re取代W原子产生晶格畸变阻碍位错运动,降低位错迁移率。蠕变温度为1500℃时,W-4Re-0.27HfC的蠕变机制以位错滑移为主,伴随有晶界滑动。随着温度升高,位错攀移成为主要蠕变机制。HfC颗粒塞积位错,导致HfC/基体界面结合变差,HfC颗粒剥落出现孔洞,合金蠕变性能下降。
