Strength of pure alumina ceramics above 1 GPa

Up to now, commercially available alumina ceramics were claimed to have strength between 400 and 550 MPa. However, our study shows strength ~ 2 times higher for commercially available alumina than commonly believed. The average and characteristic strength, measured on 31 pure alumina ceramic discs by ball on three balls (B3B) test, were 1205 ± 93 MPa and 1257 MPa, respectively, with a Weibull modulus of m = 11.8. Tested specimens were in form of discs with a diameter of 5 mm and thickness 0.5 mm. The grain size distribution of the alumina is bimodal with an average grain size of ~ 850 nm measured at the surface. The fracture reveals a mixed transgranular / intergranular failure mode. To avoid incorporation of additional flaws, the discs were tested as sintered. The characteristic flexural strength measured in B3B was recalculated according to Weibull theory for standard 4-point bending bars of size 3 × 4 × 45 mm as bend 856 MPa. The measured strength of nearly 900 MPa shows the potential of strength for high purity alumina ceramics.

岩石龟裂系数法在火山岩裂缝储集层预测中的应用

 本文针对辽河东部凹陷油燕沟中生界火山岩的具体特征，采用纵波波速的比值——“龟裂系数”裂缝分析法［1,2,3］，研究了火山岩裂隙发育程度。综合龟裂系数裂缝分析及其他方法发现，该区中生界火山岩有效储集层的测井相特征主要表现为低密度、低中子、高声波时差和高伽马值等特征。此法的关键在于根据不同火山岩的岩性，选用合适的岩石骨架参数，在此基础上利用测井约束地震反演计算火山岩的层速度，进而计算出龟裂系数，然后根据已钻至火山岩井孔的测井相特征编制出火山岩预测厚度图。     

Thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced by a natural hydrophobic sand

If a low weight percentage of crude fine fillers can improve properties of polymer materials directly without complicated chemical treatment process involved, it will be significant for many industrial applications. Our previous study indicated that a kind of Cancun natural sand could be an effective filler material for polymer composites. In this current work, the epoxy composites reinforced by this kind of natural sand particles were prepared and thermal and mechanical properties of the composites containing up to 5 wt % of the sand particles were characterized. Results showed that the highest flexural strength appears in the epoxy composite containing 1 wt % sand particles. A damage model was used to interpret the flexural properties, which showed an acceptable agreement with the experimental results. The glass transition temperature, high temperature storage modulus, and dimensional stability of the sand/epoxy composites monotonically increased with the addition of the sand particles. The sand particle/epoxy composites also displayed a noticeable enhancement in thermal conductivity. Theoretical analysis showed that in addition to conduction, other heat transport mechanisms played roles in the improved heat transmission through the composites. As a natural porous micron-scale material, Cancun sand has the potential for applications in cost-effective composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

反倾岩质边坡弯曲倾倒-剪切滑移破坏分析方法研究

目前反倾岩质边坡弯曲倾倒破坏分析方法仍以基于极限平衡理论的悬臂梁模型为主,但大多未考虑坡脚岩层的剪切破坏。为准确评价该类边坡的稳定性,建立考虑坡脚岩层剪切破坏的分析计算方法。首先,根据岩层变形破坏特征,将边坡分为后缘稳定区、中部弯曲倾倒区和前缘剪切区3个区域;其次,建立弯曲倾倒-剪切滑移破坏模式的稳定性分析方法;最后,通过工程实例验证,并进行参数分析。研究结果表明:提出的分析方法与工程实际符合性较好;边坡在倾角较陡、坡角较大时稳定性最差,坡角对边坡稳定性影响大于岩层倾角的影响;岩层厚度及层面内摩擦角增加有利于边坡稳定性,且会扩大坡脚剪切区范围。研究成果对反倾岩质边坡破坏的防治具有实践指导意义。     

Process optimization of sweet potato pulp‐based biodegradable plastics using response surface methodology

Biodegradable plastics were produced from sweet potato pulp (SPP) and cationic starch (CS) or chitosan composite (CC) by compression molding and their mechanical properties were tested. A universal testing machine, Rockwell hardness tester, and Izod impact tester were used for testing the mechanical properties (flexural strength, Rockwell hardness, and Izod strength) of the plastics. A central composite second‐order design was used to study the effects of temperature, time, and moisture content on the flexural strength, Rockwell hardness, and Izod strength of SPP/CS and SPP/CC blended plastics. The flexural strength, Rockwell hardness, and Izod strength of SPP‐based plastics was 101.1–305.9 kg/cm², R29.0–R96.7, and 0.6–3.0 kg cm cm^?2, respectively. Regression analysis predicted the optimal mechanical properties (flexural strength, Rockwell hardness, and Izod strength) to be attained with a 150–160°C temperature, 15–20‐min reaction time, and 20–23% moisture content. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

偶联剂处理对碱式硫酸镁晶须填充UP树脂浇铸体力学性能的影响

利用钛酸酯类偶联剂NDZ101、NDZ401和硅烷类偶联剂KH550、KH570对碱式硫酸镁晶须进行处理,研究了几种偶联剂及其加入比例对晶须填充不饱和聚酯树脂(UP)浇铸体力学性能的影响,并结合应力-应变曲线和SEM的图片,对试验结果进行了讨论。实验结果表明,采用偶联剂处理晶须可改善其填充UP树脂浇注体的拉伸强度、拉伸模量、弯曲模量和冲击强度。其中,采用2%KH570进行处理,拉伸强度改善幅度最高,可提高47.54%;采用3%NDZ101进行处理,拉伸模量和弯曲模量均获得最大幅度的提高,分别为65.99%和69.33%;而采用4%KH550进行处理,却可最大幅度地提高冲击强度,为29.21%。对弯曲强度而言,偶联剂处理总体上对其影响效果不如其它的力学性能那样明显。相对而言,硅烷类偶联剂的效果优于钛酸酯类的偶联剂。加入4%KH570和5%KH550时获得的弯曲强度最大,分别为54.43MPa和53.19MPa,较未处理的浇铸体弯曲强度分别提高了25.10%和22.25%,而采用NDZ101或NDZ401,弯曲强度值却基本上都下降。碱式硫酸镁晶须填充UP树脂浇铸体的断裂属于脆性断裂。
