In recent years, 3D printing has received increasing attention from researchers. This technology overcomes the limitations of traditional technologies by printing precise and personalized scaffold with arbitrary shapes, pore structures, and porosities for the applications in various tissues. The cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) is extracted from Humulus Japonicus (HJS) and mixed with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) to prepare a series of CNC/PCL composites for printing. Based on the analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the series of the CNC/PCL composites, an optimal mass ratio of CNC to PCL was obtained. The Solidworks was used to simulate the stretching and compression process of the scaffolds with three different patterns under an external force. The flow of nutrient solution in the scaffolds with different patterns was simulated by ANSYS FLUENT, and then a new optimization scaffold pattern with a concave hexagon shape was advised based on the simulation results. Collectively, the mechanical test results of the material and scaffold confirmed that the optimal filling amount of the CNC was 5%, and the scaffold pattern with concave hexagon shape exhibited better mechanical properties and suitable for the transport of cells and nutrients, which is expected to be more widely used in 3D printing.

The bonding strength, and microstructures of Cu and Al couples using metallic powders as interlayer during transient liquid phase bonding (TLP bonding) were investigated. The interfacial morphologies and microstructures were studied by scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. First, to explore the optimum bonding time and temperature, nine samples were bonded without interlayers in a vacuum condition. Mechanical test results indicated that bonding at 560°C in 20 min returns the highest bond strength (84% of Al). This bonding condition was used to join ten samples with powder interlayers. Powders were prepared by mixing different combinations of Cu, Al (+Fe nanoparticles) and Zn. In the bonding zone, different Cu9Al4, CuAl, and CuAl2 intermetallic co-precipitate. The strongest bonding is formed in the sample with the 70Al (+Fe)-30Cu powder interlayer. Powder interlayers present thinner and more uniform intermetallic layers at the joint interface.

This paper prepares polyethylene/silica nanocomposites with concentrations of 3 wt% and 5 wt% by using silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanopowder (nanosilica) with particle sizes of 15 and 50 nm. Samples whose elongations are 3%, 6%, and 10% are prepared. Pulsed electroacoustic technique is applied to evaluate the space charge distribution in samples. Test results show that homocharge near electrodes is generated in the polyethylene/silica nanocomposites. Nanocomposites with a nanoparticle concentration of 3 wt% and particle size of 15 nm suppress the accumulation of space charge effectively. The amount of space charge in the samples increases with the increase in elongation. At an elongation of 10%, packet-like space charge is generated in polyethylene/silica nanocomposites with the concentration of 5 wt% and particle sizes of 15 and 50 nm. The packet-like space charge in nanocomposites whose particle size is 50 nm is more obvious than that in nanocomposites whose particle size is 15 nm. The experiment results are explained by applying interface characteristics, dipole model, and induced dipole model.

Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) with excellent barrier properties has insufficient thermomechanical properties. The introduction of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) as an initiator in EVOH blends improved its properties by cross-linking. Torque behavior and gel experiment analysis indicated that a cross-linking in EVOH was formed. The cross-linking mechanism was confirmed through 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. In 13C NMR spectra, the splitting peaks of CH carbon and CH2 carbon tended to disappear, and the stretching vibration peak of –C=C– was observed in the FTIR spectra. The formation of hydrogen bond between MgCl2 and EVOH destroyed the intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds of EVOH, which contributed to the dehydration of –OH to form –C=C–, and –C=C– was the basis for a cross-linking reaction. The thermal analysis of blends demonstrated that the melting temperature and crystallization temperature decreased, and the crystallinity gradually disappeared when the MgCl2 content increased. Glass transition temperature significantly increased as the intermolecular force enhanced. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that a cross-linked structure could improve the thermostability of EVOH with an increase in the MgCl2 content. Mechanical test results revealed a remarkable increase in the tensile strength of EVOH as the MgCl2 content increased.

This work deals with anomalous concentrations of natural mordenite in the southeast of Spain. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies evidenced that the samples contain mainly monomineral zeolitic phase of mordenite (70% to 74%), usually accompanied by smectite (montmorillonite), the principal component of bentonite. A study of the applicability of these zeolites is presented to establish the potential use as pozzolanic cements. For comparative purposes, synthetic commercial mordenite is also characterized and tested. The initial mixtures were prepared using cement and mordenite at a 75:25 ratio. Chemical analysis and a pozzolanicity test showed the high pozzolanic character. These mixtures were further added to sand and water, yielding the cement specimens to be used as concrete. Mechanical test results showed that the mechanical compression at 7 and 28 days fall into the range of 19.23 to 43.05 MegaPascals (MPa) for the cement specimens built with natural mordenites. The obtained results fall in the same range of cement specimens prepared with natural clinoptilolite, using mixtures within the European requirement for commercial concretes. Thus, these results and the low cost of natural mordenite of San José de los Escullos deposit supports the potential use of natural mordenite as pozzolanic cement.

The results obtained from the mechanical test of rock samples inevitably suffer dispersion owing to discrepancies between test specimens. In view of these deficiencies, the present study proposes a method based on the empirical equation of shear strength developed by Barton to determine the shear strength parameters of joint surfaces using a single test specimen. This approach is then applied to optimize the analysis of multiple specimens. An analysis of experimental results verifies that the shear strength parameters of joint surfaces obtained by the proposed method can more accurately reflect the shear mechanics of multiple specimens than conventional multiple sample analyses; meanwhile, the results are reasonable and reliable. More importantly, the optimized method ensures the shear strength parameters are no longer affected by the sequence of specimens employed during shear test. The optimized analysis method eliminates the effect of differences between specimens and the influence of subjective factors on test results and therefore provides more realistic evaluations of shear strength parameters.

This paper principally examines the flow pattern that occurs when molten weld metal droplets are detached from globule formations at the tip of an electrode and are thereafter transported to the weldpool. This viscoplastic flow study was done using the modified Casson prediction model which is based on the Newtonian Homogenous Flow equations. Both chemical and mechanical tests were done. The inclusions (Slag) were found to possess an upward flow of 3 ms-1. The mechanical test results show that the shear stress of 483.2 MPa, which exceeded a yield stress of 230 MPa, was responsible for the continuous slipping movement of the molten metal towards the center of the weld pool at a velocity of 1.2ms-1. The results obtained by the application of this model were validated by both computational and experimental results obtained by other researchers.

The development of new deepwater oil and gas fields provide an opportunity for increased use of new materials. Conventional infrastructure is constructed using significant quantities of steel and concrete, which is becoming less practical in comparison to new light weight, easy to handle composites. When infrastructure needs to be repaired, there is often a requirement for underwater welding, which carries considerable occupational health, safety and environment (OHSE) risks. For this reason, moving away from traditional metal structures or repair technologies is increasingly attractive. In recent years a number of new water activated composite wrap materials have been developed for use in underwater applications. The materials properties that are required can be difficult to achieve and maintain over an extended period of exposure to the marine environment, though, so many research groups are working on this challenge. A comprehensive literature review has been undertaken to identify present state of the art ideas for the development of improved underwater materials and this will be discussed in the context of adhesive applications. Preliminary material characterisation work will be described where new resins have been formulated to perform well in marine environments and survive prolonged exposure to seawater. Experiments were carried out in artificial seawater and samples left to cure at a range of temperatures DSC and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMTA) were used to evaluate the crosslink density of the network and the glass transition temperature respectively, while FTIR was used to determine the chemical structure in the cured systems. Preliminary mechanical test results have shown significant improvement in strength for the new formulations compared to a set of control samples of commercially available materials.

Some aspects of the determination of the strength of materials formed the subject of two meetings held jointly with the British Rheologists’ Club (President, Prof. E. N. da C. Andrade) and the Royal Aircraft Establishment in the Assembly Hall, Farnborough, on the 16th June, 1945, and with the Royal Aeronautical Society in the library at 4, Hamilton Place, on the 19th February, 1946, under the chairmanship of Sir Ben Lockspeiser.At the Farnborough meeting three papers were read, namely, “The investigation of failures in wood by microscopical examination” by M. C. Pryor and A. Rayne; “The effect of duration of loading on the strength of brittle materials” by C. Gurney; and “Application of statistical methods to mechanical test results” by B. Chalmers and E. R. W. Jones. At the London meeting Prof. N. F. Mott of Bristol University spoke on the “Griffith theory of cracks in solids and recent developments of this theory, with application to brittle fracture in glass and in metals.”
