Oil Pump

A feasibility study was conducted to determine the use of polyphthalamide/glass-fiber and polyphthalamide/glass-fiber/polytetrafluoroethylene-based composites as substitutes for aluminum and steel, respectively, in the production of motorcycle oil pump parts (housing, shaft/inner gerotor and outer gerotor). New and used (80,000 km) oil pumps were subjected to performance tests, whose results indicated that the pressure and temperature of the used pump reached a maximum of 1.8 bar and 93℃, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the materials are stable at the maximum operating temperature, which is 20℃ lower than the minimum glass transition temperature obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis for both materials at the analyzed frequencies (defined after calculations based on rotations in neutral, medium and high gear). The pressure value was multiplied by a safety factor of at least 1.6 (i.e., 3 bar), which was used as input for a finite element analysis of the parts, as well as the elasticity modulus at glass transition temperatures obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis. The finite element analysis indicated that the von Mises stresses to which the composite parts were subjected are 7 to 50 times lower than those the materials can withstand. The results suggest that it is feasible to manufacture motorcycle oil pump parts with these composites.

Dynamic Mechanical

Comprehensive experimental results of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of polymer reinforced textile composites are presented in the current investigation. Plain and 2x2 twill woven multilayer fabrics of monolithic kevlar and hybrid carbon-kevlar (C-K) are reinforced into the thermoset polymer matrix. Kevlar/epoxy and C-K/epoxy composite laminates are fabricated using an in-house facility of the vacuum-assisted resin infusion process. Variation of the visco-elastic behaviour (storage modulus, damping factor and glass transition temperature, Tg) along with time, temperature and frequency is studied for the composites. Dynamic mechanical analysis is performed under temperature sweep with frequency ranging from 1-50 Hz. Results depict the effect of inter yarn hybridisation of carbon with kevlar yarns on the storage modulus, damping performance, and creep behaviour of dry textile composites. Temperature swept dynamic characterisation is also performed to evaluate the degradation and damping performance of the composite laminates soaked in the deionised water at glass transition temperature Tg, ½ Tg, and ¾ Tg. The morphological study has been performed post the dynamic mechanical analysis using field emission scanning electron microscope.

AbstractThe effects of the addition of mixed cations, i.e. Na+/Cs+, Ba2+/Cs+, and Ba2+/Zn2+, to the acid form sulfonated styrene copolymers on their dynamic mechanical properties and morphology were investigated. It was found that the matrix glass transition temperatures did not change with the ratio of the one cation to the other. As expected, however, the ratio of one cation to the other in the mixed cations affected cluster glass transition temperatures significantly. It was also found that the activation energies for the glass transitions for the matrix phase remained constant, while those for the cluster phase changed with the ratio of the two cations. In addition, the position of the SAXS peak was found to be affected by the type of cations. From the results obtained above, the decrease in the cluster Tg with increasing the amount of cesium and zinc cations in Na/Cs, Ba/ Cs, and Ba/Zn mixtures, were explained on the basis of the considerations of the size, charge, and type of cations, which alter the degree of clustering as well as ion-hopping mechanism.

The α-relaxation temperatures (Tα), derived from the storage and loss moduli using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), were compared to methods for stickiness and glass transition determination for a selection of model whey protein concentrate (WPC) powders with varying protein contents. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and stickiness behavior was characterized using a fluidization technique. For the lower protein powders (WPC 20 and 35), the mechanical Tα determined from the storage modulus of the DMA (Tα onset) were in good agreement with the fluidization results, whereas for higher protein powders (WPC 50 and 65), the fluidization results compared better to the loss modulus results of the DMA (Tα peak). This study demonstrates that DMA has the potential to be a useful technique to complement stickiness characterization of dairy powders by providing an increased understanding of the mechanisms of stickiness.
