In an industrial context where the use of friendly materials is encouraged, natural fibers of vegetable origin become more solicited for the reinforcement of composite materials. This work deals with the modeling of the hygro-mechanical behavior through raffia vinifera fiber during the diffusion phenomenon. The modeling of water diffusion through the raffia vinifera fiber is described by Fick’s second law and taking into account the swelling phenomenon of the fiber. The equation obtained is solved numerically by the finite difference method, and the evolution of the fiber radius as a function of time is obtained. By applying the Leibniz integration rule, a mathematical expression to predict the evolution of this radius as a function of time is proposed. It is observed numerically and analytically an increase of the dimensionless fiber radius with time up to a critical value after what one observes the saturation. This model allowed us to propose a mathematical model describing the absorption kinetics of the raffia vinifera fiber through its absorption ratio. By comparing the results of this model with the experimental results from the literature, one observes a good agreement. Moreover, the induced stresses in the fiber during the water diffusion can also be estimated with the proposed mathematical model expression of fiber. These stresses increase with time and can reach between 5 and 7 GPa. The results of this work can be used to predict the behavior of the raffia vinifera fiber inside a composite material during its development.

Nonlocal models of thermodynamics are becoming more and more popular in the modern world. Such models make it possible to describe materials with a complex structure and unique strength and temperature properties. Models of nonlocal thermodynamics of a continuous medium establish a relationship between micro and macro characteristics of materials. A mathematical model of thermal conductivity in nonlocal media is considered. The model is based on the theory of nonlocal continuum by A.K. Eringen. The interaction of material particles is described using local and nonlocal terms in the law of heat conduction. The nonlocal term describes the effect of decreasing the influence of the surrounding elements of the material structure with increasing distance. The effect of nonlocal influence is described using the standard non-locality function based on the Gaussian distribution. The nonlocality function depends on the distance between the elements of the material structure. The mathematical model of heat conduction in a nonlocal medium consists of an integro-differential heat conduction equation with initial and boundary conditions. A numerical solution to the problem of heat conduction in a nonlocal plate is obtained. The numerical solution of a two-dimensional problem based on the finite element method is described. The influence of nonlocal effects and material parameters on the thermal conductivity in a plate under highintensity surface heating is analyzed. The importance of nonlocal characteristics in modelling the thermodynamic behaviour of materials with a complex structure is demonstrated.

This paper investigates the dispersion of cement particles in water at different mix proportions using optical microscope, and the dispersion and absorption of SBR latex in the system of mono-dispersed cement particles in water using environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The results show that the mono-dispersed cement can be well obtained at the water to cement ratio (mw/mc) of 10:1. The ESEM images present that SBR latex is dispersed on the surface of the cement particles as well as the solution phase. SBR latex does not prefer to be absorbed on the cement particles in spite of their opposite electric charge but chooses to be dispersed in the system proportionally. In addition, SBR particles are single-layer absorbed on the surface of cement particles in all the SBR latex to cement ratios (mp/mc). Several SBR particles absorbed on the surface of cement particle get close enough to form groups at the mp/mc of 15% and 20%. The results of this paper provide some bases for analyzing the influence of polymer on cement hydration and the microstructure formation of polymer-modified cement-based materials in a new view.

<p class="Normal1"><strong><em>Abstract: </em></strong><em>Partial Differential Equations (PDP) Laplace equation can be applied to the heat conduction. Heat conduction is a process that if two materials or two-part temperature material is contacted with another it will pass heat transfer.
