CFRP/Ti6Al4V stacks are widely employed in aerospace, automotive and marine applications owing to their superior properties. However, machining these stacked structures pose challenges due to the intrinsic difference in the mechanical properties of CFRP and Ti6Al4V. Such difference can induce distinct failure mechanisms and chip formation processes compared to those observed in individual materials. This paper presents an explicit finite element (FE) modeling to predict the cutting forces and analyze the induced damage during the orthogonal cutting process. The proposed FE model is validated using available experimental data for separate CFRP and Ti6Al4V conditions before being applied to simulate the cutting behavior of CFRP/Ti6Al4V stacks. The effects of fiber angles, cutting sequences and cutting parameters on the cutting performance and damage mechanism of CFRP/Ti6Al4V stacks are investigated in detail. This work provides insights into the cutting behavior of CFRP/Ti6Al4V stacks and facilitates the optimization of machining process for such composite system.

Nonlinear free vibration and dynamical responses of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced composite beams with surface-bonded piezoelectric layers and tangentially restrained ends under thermo-electro-mechanical loads are investigated in this paper. The properties of constitutive materials are assumed to be temperature-dependent and effective properties of nanocomposite are estimated using an extended rule of mixture. Unlike previous studies, the present work considers the effects of tangentially elastic constraints of two ends on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of hybrid beams. Motion equation is established within the framework of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory taking into account von Kármán nonlinearity. Analytical solution is assumed to satisfy simply supported boundary conditions and Galerkin procedure is employed to obtain a time ordinary differential equation including both quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms. This differential equation is numerically solved employing fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme to determine the frequencies of nonlinear free vibration and nonlinear transient response. Parametric studies are executed to examine numerous influences on the nonlinear dynamical characteristics of hybrid nanocomposite beams. The study reveals that tangential constraints of ends substantially effect the frequencies and dynamic response of the beam, especially at elevated temperatures. The results also indicate that nonlinear dynamic responses can be controlled effectively by means of piezoelectric actuators and elasticity of tangential constraints of ends should be considered in design of piezo-CNTRC beams.
本文研究了碳纳米管（CNT）增强复合梁在热-电-机械载荷作用下的非线性自由振动和动态响应，碳纳米管（CNT）增强复合梁具有表面粘结压电层和切向约束端。假定构成材料的特性与温度有关，并使用扩展混合规则估算纳米复合材料的有效特性。与之前的研究不同，本文考虑了两端切向弹性约束对混合梁非线性动态特性的影响。在欧拉-伯努利梁理论框架内建立了运动方程，并考虑了 von Kármán 非线性因素。假定分析解满足简单支撑边界条件，并采用 Galerkin 程序获得包含二次和三次非线性项的时间常微分方程。该微分方程采用四阶 Runge-Kutta 方案进行数值求解，以确定非线性自由振动和非线性瞬态响应的频率。通过参数研究，考察了对混合纳米复合梁非线性动力学特性的诸多影响。研究发现，两端的切向约束对梁的频率和动态响应有很大影响，尤其是在高温条件下。研究结果还表明，通过压电致动器可以有效控制非线性动态响应，在设计压电-CNTRC 梁时应考虑两端切向约束的弹性。

The current research work involves the fabrication and tribological properties analysis of constant basalt filler reinforced (30 wt %) bio-based polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) thermoplastic composites. Compression molding technique is used after an internal mixing process in order to produce composite samples. The physical and hardness properties have been evaluated for both neat polymers and composite samples. In order to study the coefficient of friction (COF) and specific wear rate (SWR) of PP and HDPE composite samples, the Taguchi and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) methodologies were applied. For PP samples, the optimum parameters in response to COF are found to be 0 wt% basalt (rank 3), 9 N load (rank 1), 200 r/min speed (rank 4), and 100 m distance (rank 2); for the SWR output, the optimum parameters are 30 wt% basalt (rank 1), 6 N load (rank 4), 100 r/min speed (rank 2), and 200 m distance (rank 3). For HDPE samples, the optimum parameters in response to COF are 0 wt% basalt (rank 1), 6 N load (rank 3), 100 r/min speed (rank 4), and 100 m distance (rank 2); for the SWR output, the optimum parameters are 30 wt% basalt (rank 1), 6 N load (rank 3), 100 r/min speed (rank 4), and 150 m distance (rank 2). Consistently, it has been shown that incorporating basalt fillers to PP and HDPE composites has more dramatically decreased SWR than COF. The depth of wear constantly rises according to increasing load, irrespective of the processing variables, as shown in 2D depth profiles. It is discovered that the confirmation tests carried out for the optimum parameters are within statistically acceptable bounds. The depth profile plots revealed that the worn track edges are found with polymer bumps because of deep grooves and softened polymer debris, which commonly observed more with HDPE samples due to low softening temperature. Moreover, the worn surfaces of the composites have plowed lines and cracks that are brought about by the micro-cutting and micro-plowing activity of the erosive asperities counterface. In addition to surface characteristics, the transfer films created during sliding also significantly influenced the mode of sample wear.
目前的研究工作涉及恒定玄武岩填料增强（30 wt %）生物基聚丙烯（PP）和高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）热塑性复合材料的制造和摩擦学特性分析。在经过内部混合过程后，采用压缩成型技术生产复合材料样品。对纯净聚合物和复合材料样品的物理和硬度特性进行了评估。为了研究聚丙烯和高密度聚乙烯复合材料样品的摩擦系数（COF）和特定磨损率（SWR），采用了田口方法和方差分析（ANOVA）方法。对于聚丙烯样品，COF 的最佳参数为 0 wt%的玄武岩（排序 3）、9 N 的负载（排序 1）、200 r/min 的速度（排序 4）和 100 m 的距离（排序 2）；对于 SWR 输出，最佳参数为 30 wt%的玄武岩（排序 1）、6 N 的负载（排序 4）、100 r/min 的速度（排序 2）和 200 m 的距离（排序 3）。对于高密度聚乙烯样品，响应 COF 的最佳参数为 0 wt%的玄武岩（排名 1）、6 N 的负载（排名 3）、100 r/min 的速度（排名 4）和 100 m 的距离（排名 2）；对于 SWR 输出，最佳参数为 30 wt%的玄武岩（排名 1）、6 N 的负载（排名 3）、100 r/min 的速度（排名 4）和 150 m 的距离（排名 2）。一致表明，在 PP 和 HDPE 复合材料中加入玄武岩填料比 COF 更能显著降低 SWR。如二维磨损深度剖面图所示，无论加工变量如何，磨损深度随着载荷的增加而不断增加。我们发现，对最佳参数进行的确认测试在统计学上可接受的范围内。深度剖面图显示，由于凹槽较深和聚合物碎片软化，磨损的轨道边缘会出现聚合物凸起，而高密度聚乙烯样品由于软化温度较低，通常会出现这种情况。此外，复合材料的磨损表面还出现了犁纹和裂纹，这是由侵蚀性反面的微切割和微犁活动造成的。除表面特征外，滑动过程中产生的转移膜也对样品的磨损模式产生了重大影响。

In the current study, contrary to conventional fiber-reinforced composites, polyamide fiber was used as reinforcement material, and the effects of thermoplastic fiber reinforcement on repeated low velocity impact (LVI) responses of composites were examined. In this regard, polyamide fiber-reinforced composites were fabricated using the vacuum-assisted hand lay-up method (VAHLM) and then exposed to repeated LVI loadings. Experimental tests were performed on the specimens for 100 impacts with a constant velocity of 3 m/s, which is equivalent to 25.2 J, and the impacts of repeated LVI loadings on the dynamic responses such as peak force, energy absorbing/rebounding, total impulse, bending stiffness and contact stiffness were examined. Moreover, the damage mechanisms resulting from the relative damage accumulation depending on the impact numbers were examined. According to the findings, the thermoplastic polyamide fibers absorbed more than 60% of the applied energy, and the absorbed energy increased with ascending impact number. Furthermore, the thermoplastic fiber-reinforced epoxy composites gained stiffness with increasing impact, which was linked to the thermoplastic chain structure. Despite quite a number of impact loadings, no serious damage mechanisms such as fiber breakage, perforation, or penetration were observed, and the specimens maintained their structural integrity. Due to the higher energy absorption of thermoplastics, the utilization of polyamide fibers in composites has been found to be well suited for applications subjected to repeated impacts.

The pursuit of lightweight, environmentally friendly composite structures in transportation is crucial for minimizing ecological footprints and promoting energy-efficient manufacturing techniques. This study presents a novel approach by replacing traditional long glass fiber reinforced homopolymer polypropylene (homoPP) compounds with short hemp fiber reinforced homoPP, incorporating graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) derived from recovered carbon black via waste tire pyrolysis, resulting in a remarkable 15% weight reduction. With new compound formulation by adjusting the amounts of compatibilizer and GNP, injection moulding process was integrated with overmoulding process by using bio-based UD prepregs to enhance the adhesion of injected part and interfacial interaction by decreasing the stress concentrations in the structure. This novel hybrid composite design having 40 wt% hemp fiber, 1.0 wt% GNP and 2.7 wt% compatibilizer provided to improve flexural modulus and strength by 169% and 67.9%, respectively, compared to neat homoPP. The overmolding process employed bio-based natural fibers reinforced UD tapes as inserts, leading to an impressive enhancement of 211% in tensile modulus and 93.6% in strength, further surpassing the performance of neat homoPP. This work not only achieves the conversion of conventional composite structures into recyclable, sustainable thermoplastic composites but also introduces multi-scale reinforcements with customizable functionality, demonstrating a significant step forward in the development of environmentally conscious materials and manufacturing methods by adopting Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology regarding the sustainability of the newly developed composites.

The emergence of additive manufacturing has enabled scientists to efficiently construct complex geometries, facilitating the development of novel, high-impact energy-absorbing structures suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. The present study conducted flexural and impact test to quantitatively assess the energy absorption capabilities of polymer composites fabricated through fused filament fabrication. Specifically, the polymer composites investigated were multi-walled carbon nanotubes reinforced poly-lactic acid, carbon fibre reinforced poly-ethylene terephthalate glycol, and carbon fibre reinforced poly-lactic acid. The investigation also examined the influence of different infill patterns and nozzle hole diameters on the polymer composites. The investigation depicts that by altering the process parameters, the flexural strength is improved from 21.079 MPa to 70.653 MPa by 235.18%. The experimental study of impact specimens utilising the Izod impact test demonstrates that the rectilinear infill pattern and a nozzle hole diameter of 0.6 mm result in the highest energy absorption of 37.76 kJ/m2 for carbon fibre reinforced poly-lactic acid. The study revealed that the energy absorption of the specimens was significantly influenced by both the independent and interaction effects of process variables. The application of the fused filament fabrication demonstrates an improved energy absorption, making it suitable for manufacturing of vehicle and aircraft components.

Biopolymer blend based nanocomposites have been interestingly investigated by researchers to achieve advanced composite functional materials that are environmentally amicable. Among the varieties of biopolymers, widespread attention has been given to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) owing to their interesting properties like water solubility, biodegradability, biocompatibility and non-toxicity. PVA and PVP form a completely miscible blend at all compositions as both the polymers are rich in a variety of functional groups that permit effective intermolecular interactions between the polymers as well as with filler. PVA/PVP blend exhibits excellent dopant sensitive properties also. Metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) have made a prominent place in the area of scientific and technological research due to their unique chemical and physical properties. Doping with MONPs enhances the properties of the PVA/PVP blend matrix and the resulting PVA/PVP/MONP polymer nanocomposites are suitable for multifunctional purposes. This review mainly focused on the influence of various MONPs such as ZnO, CuO, Al2O3, ZrO2, MnO, SnO, MgO, TiO2, etc. in the structural, morphological, thermal, optical and electrical properties of PVA/PVP blend as well as its applications in various fields.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concrete is a new green building material. In order to make it more widely used, this study used butylbenzene emulsion (SBL) to modify PVA fiber concrete. The enhancement mechanism of SBL on the PVA/cement interface was systematically investigated at multiple scales, including macroscopic mechanical properties, microstructural characteristics, nano-interface interactions. On a macro scale, the addition of SBL and PVA fibers can significantly improve the shear strength and flexural strength of composite concrete at 7 and 28 days, and SBL can make up for the decrease in compressive strength caused by PVA. On a micro scale, the corresponding polymer cement concrete was tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). It was observed that some gels and polymers filled the interfacial gap and effectively repaired the interfacial defects. The SBL brought the two interfaces closer together and described its bonding effect at the micro-interface. On the nano scale, SBL/PVA/C-S-H is modeled by molecular dynamics method. Binding energy, Relative concentrations, Radial distribution function, Mean-square displacement and Time correlation function were analyzed and calculated. The results show that SBL reduces the interfacial effect, enhances the interfacial hydrogen bond, van der Waals interaction, Ca-H coordination bond and stability, improves the interfacial adhesion, and further enhances the weak interfacial bond between organic polymer (PVA) and inorganic silicate (C-S-H).

In order to make it more widely used, this study used butylbenzene emulsion (SBL) to modify PVA fiber concrete. The enhancement mechanism of SBL on the PVA/cement interface was systematically investigated at multiple scales, including macroscopic mechanical properties, microstructural characteristics, nano-interface interactions. On a macro scale, the addition of SBL and PVA fibers can significantly improve the shear strength and flexural strength of composite concrete at 7 and 28 days, and SBL can make up for the decrease in compressive strength caused by PVA. On a micro scale, the corresponding polymer cement concrete was tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). It was observed that some gels and polymers filled the interfacial gap and effectively repaired the interfacial defects. The SBL brought the two interfaces closer together and described its bonding effect at the micro-interface. On the nano scale, SBL/PVA/C-S-H is modeled by molecular dynamics method. Binding energy, Relative concentrations, Radial distribution function, Mean-square displacement and Time correlation function were analyzed and calculated. The results show that SBL reduces the interfacial effect, enhances the interfacial hydrogen bond, van der Waals interaction, Ca-H coordination bond and stability, improves the interfacial adhesion, and further enhances the weak interfacial bond between organic polymer (PVA) and inorganic silicate (C-S-H).","PeriodicalId":17446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138972247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to use recycled waste materials to modify the performance of composites used as dental fillings. For this purpose, depolymerized polyethylene terephthalate (DPET) polymers were prepared by recycling waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using the glycolysis process. DPET was then blended with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) at different weight percentages. Polymer blends were subjected to mechanical, physical, and biological tests. It is evident that PMMA blended with a 5 wt% of DPET exhibits the highest compressive strength which is approximately two times that obtained from neat PMMA, highlighting the suitability of these resins to replace amalgam and to be considered for dental restorations. It was also found that the water absorption of the blends investigated is relatively stable at 5 wt% DPET. The SEM images showed no distinguishable phases, highlighting the high compatibility between DPET and PMMA. The biological tests, including in vitro cytotoxicity, showed that the cell viability mean values of PMMA containing 5 wt% DPET is higher than that of control group. Interestingly, in dental practice, the reliable in vitro cytotoxic approach is considered as an important aid in clinical procedures in the use of dental filling systems. The microbiology study has shown that the inhibition zones against Streptococcus mutans of PMMA: 5 wt% DPET is higher than the control group. According to the obtained results, the blend of PMMA: 5 wt% DPET was selected as an optimum blend, which was then reinforced with various weight percentages of nano-sized titanium dioxide (TiO2). The composites were then tested under compression, microhardness, and impact tests. The results demonstrated the significant impact of TiO2 on enhancing the properties of the composites investigated. This can provide a new protocol for synthesizing nanocomposite materials for dentistry.

This article investigates the eccentric ballistic impact response of square aluminum and fiber-metal laminated plates with the ANSYS AUTODYN hydrocode. The plates are impacted by a cylindrical projectile with normal high velocity. The validation of the numerical procedure is mainly carried out through comparisons with published experimental data. The modeling procedure and the verification of numerical results are described in detail so as to provide a useful reference. The effect of impact point eccentricity and different boundary conditions on the ballistic resistance of the targets is evaluated. It is found that the ballistic limits of the considered targets can be substantially affected by the boundary conditions and the eccentricity of impact. The targets are sorted in a descending order of ballistic resistance which is found invariant to the impact position.
