We report the development and characterizations of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor coated with different ultraviolet (UV) curable resins. The UV-curable resins were applied on the fiber after the FBG inscription and cured with an UV lamp. One set of samples used the NOA 68 resin and the other used NOA 88. The samples were characterized with respect to the temperature, moisture absorption and strain response. Furthermore, in order to understand the influence of the resin coating on the optical fiber’s mechanical properties, tensile tests were performed with the samples. Results show that all samples presented negligible sensitivity to moisture absorption in the 50-min long tests with the fibers immersed in a container filled with distillated water. Regarding the temperature responses, the coated FBGs presented higher sensitivity (13.84 pm/°C for NOA 88 and 12.76 pm/°C for NOA 68) than the uncoated FBGs due to the thermal expansion of the coatings. In the strain tests, all coated and uncoated samples presented similar sensitivities, but with a larger strain range applied for the coated samples (strains higher than 5500 µε) when compared with the uncoated samples (3500 µε). Moreover, the stress-strain curves of the coated samples indicated a Young’s modulus one order with magnitude lower than the one of the uncoated silica fiber, where the lowest Young’s modulus is 3.84 GPa and was obtained with the NOA 68 coating, which indicates the possibility of obtaining highly sensitive pressure and force sensors.

ABSTRACTBamboo is a typical composite material which is axially reinforced by very strong fibers. So that, the fibers play an important role for the bamboo structure. The elastic properties of the bamboo culm have been measured only by tensile test so far, which needs a large specimen. Recently ultra-sonic technique, which has a simple procedure and uses a small specimen, has been applied to woods as well as metals. This report reviews about the elastic properties of bamboo and Hemp palm fibers. The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the bamboo fibers are measured by ultra-sonic method with a transmitting wave. On the other hand, the strength of the bamboo and Hemp palm fibers are measured by the tensile tests. Using the volume fraction of fibers in the specimen and mixture principle, the Young's modulus and strength of the fibers and parenchyma were obtained. The fiber has a high strength up to 1GPa and an strong anisotropic property because its axial Young's modulus has 7 times higher than the one in the transverse direction.

In this study, we present the manufacturing process of two new composites materials in the form of long fibers of polylactic-acid (PLA) or polypropylene (PP), reinforced by cellulose whiskers micro-fibers loads. In order to evaluate the mechanical properties of these advanced materials, a several uniaxial tensile tests were carried out. The PP and the PLA have initially been spinning without the addition of cellulose whiskers micro-fibers. In order to study the effects of cellulose whiskers micro-fibers reinforcements in the Mechanical behavior of the PLA and PP filaments, we determinate the proprieties of these advanced material from the tensile results. For the PP composite filaments material case, the whiskers reinforcement increases Young's modulus and failure resistance, but it reduces the limit strength failure. For the PLA composites the addition of 1% wt of cellulose whiskers from the total volume fraction of the material, increase the Young’s modulus more than 50% and a decrease of the failure resistance and the limit strength of composite. The obtained composites fibers are very rigid and brittle. What follows, that the addition of cellulose whiskers micro fibers in PP matrix, provides mechanical properties more convenient compared to the PLA matrix.

The influence of complex thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) on the mechanical properties of a Ti-Nb-Zr-Fe-O bio-alloy was investigated in this study. The proposed TMP program involves a schema featuring a series of severe plastic deformation (SPD) and solution treatment (STs). The purpose of this study was to find the proper parameter combination for the applied TMP and thus enhance the mechanical strength and diminish the Young’s modulus. The proposed chemical composition of the studied β-type Ti-alloy was conceived from already-appreciated Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr alloys with high β-stability by replacing the expensive Ta with more accessible Fe and O. These chemical additions are expected to better enhance β-stability and thus avoid the generation of ω, α’, and α” during complex TMP, as well as allow for the processing of a single bcc β-phase with significant grain diminution, increased mechanical strength, and a low elasticity value/Young’s modulus. The proposed TMP program considers two research directions of TMP experiments. For comparisons using structural and mechanical perspectives, the two categories of the experimental samples were analyzed using SEM microscopy and a series of tensile tests. The comparison also included some already published results for similar alloys. The analysis revealed the advantages and disadvantages for all compared categories, with the conclusions highlighting that the studied alloys are suitable for expanding the database of possible β-Ti bio-alloys that could be used depending on the specific requirements of different biomedical implant applications.

The Young’s modulus of WS2 nanotubes is an important property for various applications. Measurements of the mechanical properties of individual nanotubes are challenging because of the small size of the tubes. Lately, measurements of the Young’s modulus by buckling of an individual nanotube using an atomic force microscope1 resulted in an average value of 171GPa. Tensile tests of individual WS2 nanotubes were performed experimentally using a scanning electron microscope and simulated tensile tests of MoS2 nanotubes were performed by means of a densityfunctional tight-binding (DFTB) based molecular dynamics (MD) scheme. Preliminary results for WS2 nanotubes show Young’s modulus value of ca.162GPa, tensile strength value of ca. 13GPa and average elongation of ca. 12%. MD simulations resulted in elongation of 19% for zigzag and 17% for armchair MoS2 single wall nanotubes. Since MoS2 and WS2 nanotubes have similar structures the same behavior is expected for both, hence there is a good agreement regarding the elongation of WS2 nanotubes between experiment and simulation.

Abstract Blends of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), with and without compatibilizers and with different organoclay amounts (1%, 3%, and 5%), were systematically investigated to assess the effect of the additives on the crystallinity of the blends, as well as the correlation between the microhardness, H and the Young’s modulus E. The compatibilizers used were: maleic anhydride grafted styrene ethylene butadiene styrene (SEBS-g-MAH), maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MAH), maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and maleic anhydride grafted EPDM (EPDM-g-MAH). The thermal properties and crystallization behavior were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). Macro- and micromechanical properties were also investigated. The results obtained showed that the addition of clay slightly increases the crystallinity αWAXS of the blends. However, the hardness H decreases enormously only by adding 1 wt% of clay. With higher clay amounts, H increases again. The relationship between the Young’s modulus E and the hardness H for all the studied blends was found to be somewhat higher than the one obtained for polyethylene (PE) samples with different morphologies.

Abstract:Kaolin masterbatch was prepared first, and then three kinds of kaolin modified polyester fibers (100 dtex) which respectively contained kaolin masterbatch 2%(PK2), 4%(PK4), 6%(PK6) were successfully spun. Properties of kaolin modified fibers were discussed. The results showed that kaolin particles were evenly dispersed in polyesters. Breaking strength and Young’s modulus of the kaolin modified fibers were decreased with the increase of the kaolin content; moisture absorption was increased with the increase of the kaolin content; boiling water shrinkage was decreased with the increase of the kaolin content; and kaolin modified polyester fibers have good performance of ultraviolet resistance.

Part Quality

In the advancement of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, 3D desktop printers have become an accessible solution to address the current manufacturing practices for most industries and the general public. This study explores the effect default build parameters have on the tensile properties of additive manufactured parts by comparing the Young’s Modulus and tensile strength of polylactic acid (PLA) in the elastic region before and after the AM process through experiments and numerical simulations. The build parameters are specified via MakerBot Desktop — the file preparation software for the MakerBot Replicator 3D printer used to create the specimens tested herein. This work presents the tensile mechanical properties for specimens built using low infill rate, low layer resolution, and standard build speed and extrusion temperature to recreate the worst possible part quality attainable using MakerBot 3D Desktop printers. Using these build parameters results in a part with a hollow honeycomb interior structure, and due to its heterogeneous cross sectional area, experimental stress-strain curves do not accurately represent its physical response to tensile loading. Therefore in this case, an experimental-numerical study of the 3D printed specimens is performed, using the load-displacement experimental data acquired from tensile tests to calibrate the ANSYS Structural Mechanics simulations. The goal is to optimize the material properties in our simulation such that the equivalent strain magnitude matches the experiments. This is an approach to determine the experimental Young’s modulus of PLA additive manufactured parts where the AM process, heterogeneous structure, and size greatly influence the part strength. This is completed by studying the worst part quality possible first to better understand this effect. Tensile tests are performed using an ADMET 5603 Universal Test Machine (UTM) synched with a Correlated Solutions 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system. A fine heterogeneous speckle pattern is sprayed on the specimens and used by the DIC system to obtain surface contours of deformation. This data is compared to the displacement fields in the finite element analysis (FEA) simulation of the specimen. When compared to the pre-manufacturing PLA, additive manufactured parts exposed that the post-processed stiffness of the material is increased when tested under this loading condition. The Poisson’s ratio for printed PLA was also noted to decrease when compared to pre-manufactured PLA, due to the larger longitudinal deformation compared to the transverse. Specimens failed by brittle fracture across the hex pattern, showing limited deformation and failing short after. The failure location based on the influence interior geometry has on failure showed that specimens failed by brittle fracture across the hex pattern, initiating fracture in the same region of all specimens.

Nanostructures of SingleCrystalSilicon (SCS) with superior electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties are emerging in the development of novel nanodevices. Mechanical properties especially Young's modulus are essential in developing and utilizing such nanodevices. In this paper, experimental researches including bending tests, resonance tests, and tensile tests on Young' s modulus of nanoscaled SCS are reviewed, and their results are compared. It was found that the values ofEmeasured by different testing methods cannot match to each other. As the differences cannot be explained as experimental errors, it should be understood by taking surface effect into account. With a simplified model, we qualitatively explained the difference inEvalue measured by tensile test and by resonance test for Si nanobeams.

The Impact

This paper aims to investigate the impact of moisture on mechanical properties of insulation paper. According to the molecular modeling approach proposed by Theodorou, the amorphous cellulose models of insulation paper with different moisture contents were built up to calculate mechanical parameters and hydrogen bond networks. And relevant conclusions could be drawn through further analysis on these calculation results: water molecules can destroy hydrogen bond network between the neighboring cellulose molecules, which might be responsible for the significant decrease of Young's modulus and other mechanical parameters, while no appreciable effect of intramolecular hydrogen bonds on mechanical properties was detected. Thus tensile tests were also carried out to study the moisture influence on the Young's modulus, by which the result of the simulation was approved.
