The implementation of synthetic guided wave focusing to locate axially aligned defects in pipes has been investigated. Results
from both finite element computer models and experiments on real pipes are presented and the data show good agreement. Focusing
is necessary to improve the reflection coefficient from axially aligned defects, as the signals are very weak. The Common
Source Method (CSM) of synthetic focusing has been applied which makes it possible to apply focusing via post processing to
previously collected data. The dependence of reflection coefficient on crack length was measured for both through thickness
and part depth axially aligned defects, at a range of frequencies, using the torsional guided wave family. The results show
that the reflection coefficient is approximately doubled when focusing is employed, compared to the sensitivity for unfocused
fundamental torsional waves. However the sensitivity is still very low, so in practise this approach could only be used to
find severe defects. 相似文献

Physical characteristics of the growth substrate including nano- and microstructure play crucial role in determining the behaviour of the cells in a given biological context. To test the effect of varying the supporting surface structure on cell growth we applied a novel sol–gel phase separation-based method to prepare micro- and nanopatterned surfaces with round surface structure features. Variation in the size of structural elements was achieved by solvent variation and adjustment of sol concentration. Growth characteristics and morphology of primary human dermal fibroblasts were found to be significantly modulated by the microstructure of the substrate. The increase in the size of the structural elements, lead to increased inhibition of cell growth, altered morphology (increased cytoplasmic volume), enlarged cell shape, decrease in the number of filopodia) and enhancement of cell senescence. These effects are likely mediated by the decreased contact between the cell membrane and the growth substrate. However, in the case of large surface structural elements other factors like changes in the 3D topology of the cell’s cytoplasm might also play a role. 相似文献

Conducting polymers such as polypyrrole (PPy) can be deposited on various substrates to obtain conductive electroactive coatings. While electrochemical coatings are generally considered to be more effective, chemical coatings are more industrially suitable, especially on complex substrates. In this work, we aimed to explore the electro-chemo-mechanical response of conductive fiber scaffolds (CFS) prepared by coating PPy (chemically) on glucose-gelatin nanofibre scaffolds. Electroactivity was readily observed in both aqueous and propylene carbonate solutions of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, with mainly anion activity in both cases. A higher actuation response was achieved in the aqueous solutions with strain in the range of 1.2% and stress in the range of 3 kPa. Under both cyclic voltammetry and square wave potential steps driving, stable actuation for over 100 cycles was maintained. In addition to actuation, the CFS samples exhibited concurrent sensory properties, in sensing current densities and mechanical load. The PPy-coated CFS material functioning as both an actuator and a sensor is envisaged to have potential applications in smart materials, soft robotics or e-skin. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

In the search for renewable materials for linear actuators, polypyrrole (PPy) glucose-glycerin nanofiber scaffolds were used here to provide the actuator with a basic fibrillary structure, mimicking natural muscles. Each nanofiber was coated with a chemically synthesized PPy film, getting conductive nanofiber scaffolds (CNS), used then as electrodes to attain a second polypyrrole doped with dodecylbenzensulfonate (PPyDBS) coat forming PPyDBS-CNS material structure. PPyDBS bulk films obtained by electropolymerization on stainless steel under the same condition were used to compare the linear actuation properties of both materials. Cyclic voltammetry, square potential waves, and square potential currents, in combination with linear actuation measurements, studied the samples. Three different potential ranges (PRs) were selected for those methodologies: 1.0 to −0.55 V (PR1), 0.8 to −0.4 V (PR2), and 0.65 to −0.55 V (PR3), revealing that PPyDBS-CNS has anion-driven actuation independent of the applied PR1–3, while in comparison PPyDBS films had in PR3 mixed ion actuation. The best strain from PPyDBS, 24.6%, was attained at PR1, and from PPyDBS-CSN, 17.5% strain in the same PR. Further characterizations are conducted, such as scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and element determination using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. 相似文献

The invention of electrospinning has solved the problem of producing micro- and nanoscaled metal oxide fibres in bulk quantities. However, until now no methods have been available for preparing a single nanofibre of a metal oxide. In this work, the direct drawing method was successfully applied to produce metal oxide (SnO2, TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2 and CeO2) fibres with a high aspect ratio (up to 10 000) and a diameter as small as 200 nm. The sol–gel processing includes consumption of precursors obtained from alkoxides by aqueous or non-aqueous polymerization. Shear thinning of the precursors enables pulling a material into a fibre. This rheological behaviour can be explained by sliding of particles owing to external forces. Transmission (propagation) of light along microscaled fibres and their excellent surface morphology suggest that metal oxide nanofibres can be directly drawn from sol precursors for use in integrated photonic systems. 相似文献

The orientation distribution of fibres has an important impact on the properties of short-fibre reinforced composites. This article introduces a methodology for defining fibre orientations in steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC). The main method under consideration is the slicing, where two approaches are introduced, i.e. the photometric analysis and DC-conductivity measurements by a special robot. The advantage of presented slicing method is the fact that a combined analysing approach is utilized; DC-conductivity testing is joined together with the image analysis. As a result, significant benefits are achieved, e.g. the ability of measuring the orientation of an individual fibre, the measuring of the in-plane angle in the interval [0°, 360°]. An additional important aspect in the presented slicing method is the possible usage of the structural parts extracted from the full-size floor-slabs as specimens, as it is done here. The authors present the statistics of fibre orientations, which are based on the experimental data received by the application of the mentioned analysing approaches. The presented slicing method with its possible extensions offers possibilities to improve the quality control while producing SFRC products. 相似文献

This paper reports in situ mechanical characterization of silver nanowires (Ag NWs) inside a scanning electron microscope using a cantilevered beam bending technique. Measurements consisted in controlled bending of a cantilevered NW by the tip of an atomic force microscope glued to the force sensor. Relatively high degree of elasticity followed by either plastic deformation or fracture was observed in bending experiments. Experimental data were numerically fitted into the model based on the elastic beam theory and values of Young modulus and yield strength were extracted. Measurements were performed on twenty Ag NWs with diameters from 76 nm to 211 nm. Average Young modulus and yield strength were found to be 90 GPa and 4.8 GPa respectively. In addition, fatigue tests with several millions of cycles were performed and high fatigue resistance of Ag NWs was demonstrated. 相似文献
