We present evidence from computer simulation that the slowdown of relaxation of a standard Lennard-Jones glass-forming liquid and that of its reduction to a model with truncated pair potentials without attractive tails are quantitatively and qualitatively different in the viscous regime. The pair structure of the two…
Satisfactory operation of composite insulators is intimately related to the surface electric field (stress) distribution. This paper presents results of calculation of the electric field distribution for composite insulators up to 1200 kV, using a 3D software package based on the Boundary Element Method. The impact of…
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films (with thickness ranged from 780 nm to 1150 nm) were prepared by thermal oxidation in air (at 600-700 K, for 20-30 min) of vacuum evaporated metallic zinc films. The Zn films were deposited on glass substrates at room temperature. The crystalline structure of ZnO thin film samples was invest…
We study the electric-field-induced birefringence and orientational order in the isotropic phase of aqueous suspensions of exfoliated natural beidellite clay particles, thin (L = 0.65 nm) flat charged sheets with high aspect ratio, D/L ≈ 300. Our electric birefringence experiment is optimized for aqueous suspensions o…
Composites including VO2-based thermochromic nanoparticles are able to combine high luminous transmittance Tlum with a significant modulation of the solar energy transmittance ΔTsol at a “critical” temperature in the vicinity of room temperature. Thus nanothermochromics is of much interest for energy efficient fenestr…
This work deals with the study of micro and nanosilica filled epoxy resin samples carried out in the framework of CIGRE WG D1.24 cooperative test program. This program focused on chemical, electrical and electrostatic properties of epoxy based nanodielectrics for electrical engineering applications. Epoxy based sample…
The high-cleaning Lyocell fibers are used to spin the Ne 32 yarns for an open-end rotor spinning frame. The optimal processing parameters were obtained in demonstrating output speed, stretching roller speed, feed speed and rotor revolution. The quality characteristics, such as yarn count, strength, elongation and Um (…
Advanced polymer matrix composite (PMC) materials have been more frequently employed for aerospace applications due to their light weight and high strength. Fiber-reinforced PMC materials are also being considered as potential candidates for elevated temperature applications such as supersonic vehicle airframes and pr…
In this study the steady flow viscosity, complex viscosity and relative viscosity of PP/FeSi composite melts with filler contents up to x =0.7 (70 vol.%) of spherical Iron Silicon (FeSi) microparticles (in 10 vol.% steps) with diameter of d < 106 mm have been investigated. Plate-plate and capillary rheometry at differ…
The fabrication of compliant mechanisms on the mesoscale requires collaboration of mechanical engineering design, with materials science and engineering fabrication approaches. In this paper, a review of current fabrication approaches to produce mesoscale devices is given, highlighting the benefits and limitations of…
In the present study, in-situ synthesis of carbon nanotube/hydroxyapatite nano composite powder with stable homogeneous dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was carried out using surfactant as dispersing agent. By applying sol-gel method, dispersion in the hydroxyapatite matrix and its effects on the microstructure…
In this paper, the effect of TiH2 and CaCO3 blowing agents was investigated on the structure and energy absorption of Al-7%Si-3%SiC composite metal foam by powder compact route. Composition of the foam was prepared from a mixture of Al, SiC and Si powders. Then, precursors were consolidated in H13 die mould by cold an…
An empirical study was conducted to gain a fuller understanding of the interactions taking place in cementsuperplasticiser systems. To this end, two clinkers of known chemical and phase composition were prepared in this study to gain insight into such interactions. One contained no tricalcium aluminate (C1), while the…
Flax is a type of natural fiber widely used as reinforcing materials for polymer composites. The commercially available flax fibers in Canada consist of a significant amount of shive and other impurities, which could act as stress concentration regions to negatively affect the mechanical property of composites. In thi…
Recently, a k-value for ground granulated blast-furnace slag or k-value has been added to the revision of the European standard EN 206-1:2000. The proposed values during the disscusion in the working groups were very different because in most of cases the compressive strength was the only characteristic considered; wh…
Seven different types of recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste (CDW) have been evaluated as granular materials for unbound road sub-bases construction. The results showed that recycled concrete aggregates complied with all specifications for using in the construction of unbound structural layers (…
DP803, an industrial catalyst used in petrochemical industry for dehydrogenation of isobutane to isobutene, was characterized in the current study. The results showed that zeolite Y is a high performance catalyst. This catalyst was then synthesized using a platinum source (hexachloro platinic acid) and two different t…
In this study, non-linear static analysis of a cantilever Timoshenko beam composed of functionally graded material (FGM) under a non-follower transversal uniformly distributed load is studied with large displacements and large rotations. Material properties of the beam change in the thickness direction according to a…
