The Impact

With the increasing use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics in various fields, carbon fiber composites based on prepregs have attracted attention in industries and academia research. However, prepreg manufacturing processes are costly, and the strength of structures varies depending on the orientation and defects (pores and delamination). For the non-contact evaluation of internal defects, the lock-in infrared thermography was proposed to investigate the defects in the composites subjected to the compression after impact test (CAI). The drop-weight impact test was conducted to study the impact behavior of the composites according to fibers orientation for composite fabricated using unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber prepregs. Using CAI tests, the residual compressive strengths were determined, and the damage modes were detected using a thermal camera. The results of the drop weight impact tests showed that the specimen laminated at 0° suffered the largest damage because of susceptibility of the resin to impact. The specimens with 0°/90° and +45°/−45° fibers orientation exhibited more than 90% of the impact energy absorption and good impact resistance. Furthermore, the specimens that underwent the impact tests were subjected to compressive test simultaneously with the lock-in thermography defects detection. The results showed that internal delamination, fibers splitting, and broken fibers occurred. The temperature differences in the residual compression tests were not significant.

The poor interface compatibility between inorganic fillers and organic polymer matrix in nanocomposite has presented considerable challenges, which limit the applicable electric field ranges and reduce the interface polarization interaction. In this paper, Pb[Formula: see text]Ba[Formula: see text]ZrO3 (PBZ) nanofibers were introduced into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix to prepare composite film, and the effect of hot pressing on interface compatibility was investigated at volume composite ratios of 3% and 4%. For the untreated film, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the 3 vol.% composite film are 9.68 [Formula: see text]C/cm2 and 401 MV/m, respectively, and those for the 4 vol.% composite film are 9.15 [Formula: see text]C/cm2 and 408 MV/m, respectively. These differences are mainly due to the impact of internal defects. After hot pressing, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the 3 vol.% composite film became 10.22 [Formula: see text]C/cm2 and 490 MV/m, respectively. Those for the 4 vol.% composite film are 9.85 [Formula: see text]C/cm2 and 485 MV/m. Experiment and simulation results showed the beneficial effect of hot pressing, which ameliorated poor interfacial compatibility, reduced internal defects, and improved the crystallinity of the composite film. A high electrocaloric effect (ECE) was obtained by using the direct measure method. At −30[Formula: see text]C, the [Formula: see text] values of hot-pressed PBZ/PVDF film at 3[Formula: see text] and 4[Formula: see text] vol.% were 23.81 and 19.73 K, respectively. When temperature increased to 70[Formula: see text]C, the [Formula: see text] values were 9.44 and 7.01 K, respectively, which were 1.58 times of the values of a non-hot-pressed film. These results indicated that hot pressing alleviated the interface problem and resulted in high EC performance under a high-strength electric field.

The Impact

Wrought Mg AZ31 alloy was near-net-shaped by semisolid rheo-diecasting. Parts with 42% and 61% solid fraction were produced at different injection velocities. The impact of injection velocity on the microstructure and the tensile strength of samples have been investigated. Results indicated that the shape factor and the particle size of primary α-Mg in the microstructure decreased with the increase of injection velocity, and the morphology of both secondary α-Mg and eutectic α-Mg + Mg17Al12 mixture were refined with the increase of injection velocity. The surface liquid segregation in the sample closely relates to the injection velocity and the solid fraction of slurries, and it decreased with the increase of injection velocity and the decrease of the solid fraction. Cold shut, crack, and gas porosity were the main internal defects that rely on the injection velocity. The tensile strength of the samples decreased with the increase of injection velocity, and the best value of 201 and 192 MPa was obtained at 0.5 m/s and 1 m/s for the sample with the solid fraction of 0.61 and 0.42, respectively. This work demonstrated a predominant effect of internal defects on the property of the rheo-diecasting (RDC) product than the microstructure; thus, defect reduction should be preferentially considered in the optimization of the RDC process.

.With the increasing use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics in various area, carbon fiber composites based on prepregs have attracted attention in industries and academia research. However, prepreg manufacturing processes are costly, and the strength of structures varies depending on the orientation and defects (pores and delamination). For non-contact evaluation of internal defects, we proposed lock-in infrared thermography to investigate orientation angles after a compression test. We also conducted a drop-weight impact test to study the behaviour of the composites after impact according the fibers orientation for composite fabricated using unidirectional carbon fiber prepregs. Using CAI tests, we determined the residual compressive strength and confirmed the damage modes using a thermal camera. The results of the drop weight impact tests show that the specimen laminated at 0° suffered the largest damage because of susceptibility of the resin to impact. In contrast, the specimens oriented in of 0°/90° and +45°/–45° directions transferred more than 90% of the impact energy back to the impactor because of the lamination of fibers in the orthogonal directions. Furthermore, the specimens that underwent complete damage in the impact tests were subjected to the lock-in method and showed internal delamination and cut fibers. With the finite elements analysis, the damage of each ply could be observed. Moreover, the temperature differences in the residual compression tests were not significant.

The Impact

The impact elastic wave method (IEW) has been applied to evaluate the thickness and internal defects of the target structure based on the dominant frequency of the response wave that is formed by the repeated reflections in the thickness direction. However, it is difficult to evaluate the size and position of the defect by IEW if the size and depth are relatively small and deep, respectively, and further, it is known that the technique is inapplicable if the target is not a plate-like structures. Therefore, the authors propose a new technique that uses Difference value as a new evaluation index to overcome the limitations of the conventional methods. Difference value shows the change of the response waveform in the time domain; it is computed by using a response waveform of the structures in sound condition as a reference. In this paper, the practicality of the Difference value is investigated by performing experiments using concrete specimens. The results of the experiments demonstrate that Difference value changes by the influence of internal defects, and Difference value evaluates the location of the relatively small defect that is difficult to evaluate by the conventional technique.

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.

AbstractA large amount of CO has been detected above many SL9/Jupiter impacts. This gas was never detected before the collision. So, in our opinion, CO was released from a parent compound during the collision. We identify this compound as POM (polyoxymethylene), a formaldehyde (HCHO) polymer that, when suddenly heated, reformes monomeric HCHO. At temperatures higher than 1200°K HCHO cannot exist in molecular form and the most probable result of its decomposition is the formation of CO. At lower temperatures, HCHO can react with NH3 and/or HCN to form high UV-absorbing polymeric material. In our opinion, this kind of material has also to be taken in to account to explain the complex evolution of some SL9 impacts that we observed in CCD images taken with a blue filter.
