Thz Tomography

Composite materials are increasingly being utilized in many products, such as aircrafts, wind blades, etc. Accordingly, the need for nondestructive inspection of composite materials is increasing and technologies that allow nondestructive inspection are being studied. Existing ultrasound methods are limited in their ability to detect defects due to high attenuation in composite materials, and radiographic examination methods could pose a danger to human health. Terahertz (THz) wave technology is an emerging approach that is useful for imaging of concealed objects or internal structures due to high transmittance in non-conductive materials, straightness, and safety to human health. Using high-speed THz tomography systems that we developed, we have obtained THz tomographic images of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates with artificial internal defects such as delamination and inclusion. The defects have various thicknesses and sizes, and lie at different depths. We present THz tomographic images of GFRP samples to demonstrate the extent to which the defects can be detected with the THz tomography systems.

Speed Performance

A surface effect ship is known to be comparable to a high-speed ship. For the structural design of surface effect ships, advanced design methods are needed which can reflect the various loading conditions different from those of conventional ships. Also, minimum weight design is essential because hull weight significantly affects the lift, thrust powering and high-speed performance. This paper presents the procedure of optimum structural design and a computer program to minimize the hull weight of surface effect ships built of composite materials. By using the developed computer program, the optimum structural designs for three types of surface effect ships—built of sandwich plate only, stiffened single skin plate only, and both plates—are carried out and the efficiency of each type is investigated in terms of weight. The computer program, developed herein, successfully reduced the hull weight of surface effect ships by 15–30% compared with the original design. Numerical results of optimum structural designs are presented and discussed.

Abstract This paper presents the design of a hydraulic motor driven spindle for the processing of metals and composite materials at high rotational speeds. Existing technologies applicable to spindles and spindle holders under severe operating conditions were reviewed. A conceptual design of the hydraulic spindle system was developed. A strong indication of distinct increase in spindle life and gains in cutting power at higher rotational speeds when compared to the conventional electric motor driven spindles underscored the need for the new spindle system.

Advanced rotor systems, for such applications as high-speed flywheel systems, consist (in a basic fashion) of a lightweight rotor spinning at relatively high speeds and supported by magnetic bearings. Composite materials are an extremely attractive choice for such rotor designs, offering high strength with light-weight. However, there are a number of issues that must be addressed for such efforts to be successful. Specific issues include imbalance control and active techniques to suppress internal damping-induced instability. A detailed description of the problem being considered and a strategy for solving it are presented. Simulation modeling and analysis results are presented and discussed to illustrate the method and demonstrate its effectiveness.

AbstractThe reported research examines the effect of 5–70 nm SiO2 nanoparticles on the mechani-cal properties of nanocement materials. The strength development of portland cement with nano-SiO2 and superplasticizing admixture is investigated. Experimental results demonstrate an in-crease in the compressive strength of mortars with SiO2nanoparticles. The distribution of nano-SiO2 particles within the cement paste plays an essential role and governs the overall perfor-mance of these products. Therefore, the addition of a superplasticizer is proposed to facilitate the distribution of nano-SiO2 particles. The application of effective superplasticizer and high-speed dispergation are found to be very effective dispersion techniques that improve the strength of su-perplasticized portland cement mortars, reaching up to 63.9 MPa and 95.9 MPa after aging dur-ing 1 and 28 days, respectively. These values compare favorably with the observed compressive strengths of reference portland cement mortars of 53.3 MPa and 86.1 MPa. It is concluded that the effective dispersion of nanoparticles is essential to obtain the composite materials with im-proved performance.
