To clarify the effect and mechanism of hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) on the UV aging behavior of asphalt binder, T622-HALS was selected as the modifier for UV aging resistance of asphalt. The physicochemical properties and microstructure of T622 light stabilizer were comprehensively analyzed. The light stabilizer-modified asphalt was prepared and placed in the UV radiation chamber for UV aging treatment. Scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope were used to analyze the microscopic morphology evolution of light stabilizer-modified asphalt induced by UV radiation. The thermal properties and functional group composition changes in light stabilizer-modified asphalt during UV aging were studied by using the thermogravimetric and infrared spectroscopy combined testing system. The decay laws of the physical and rheological performances of light stabilizer-modified asphalt were studied during UV aging process, and the effect of light stabilizer on the UV aging behavior of asphalt binder was clarified. The research results indicated that HALSs could alleviate the microcracks and roughness change on the surface of asphalt and reduce the content of functional groups such as carbonyl and sulfoxide in asphalt. Furthermore, HALS could reduce the value difference of physical and rheological properties of asphalt before and after UV aging, significantly improving the UV aging resistance of asphalt binder.

Composites are becoming materials of the future. Composite applications have become popular in the air as airframes in the aerospace industry to the deepest seas in the form of underwater pipes. A sandwich structure is a composite with cores with low-density material pinned by a stiff facing. In this article, the sandwich material used is a Nomex-Aramid honeycomb as the core and carbon fiber composite as the facing sandwich structure. The main goal of this study is to obtain the characteristics of the sandwich structure, Nomex-Aramid carbon fiber, and study the effect of core variation on the overall strength of the sandwich structure. Numerical simulation testing was carried out to determine the characteristics of the sandwich structure. The loadings carried out were mainly three-point bending, tensile, compression, and torsional tests. In addition, this study also compared the geometry of cores and several materials to study the effect of core properties on the overall strength of the materials. The authors used the finite element method with ABAQUS. A mesh convergence study was also conducted in this article. The results of the numerical simulation showed that the structure sandwich had a major drawback in the local strength caused by the size of the cells used. In addition, the geometric shape and type of the core material also affected the strength of the sandwich structure.

Recycled concrete technology can promote the sustainable development of the construction industry, but the insufficient mechanical properties of recycled concrete have become a key constraint on its development. By adding waste fibers, the mechanical properties of recycled concrete can be improved, and the problem of disposing of waste polypropylene fibers can be solved. In this article, the effects of recycled brick aggregate content and waste fiber content on the mechanical properties and microstructures of recycled brick aggregate concrete through macroscopic mechanical experiments and microstructure experiments are investigated. The results show that the addition of recycled brick aggregate reduces the mechanical properties of concrete; when the content of recycled brick aggregate is 100%, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength decrease by 22.04 and 20.00%, respectively. The addition of waste fibers can improve the mechanical properties of recycled brick aggregate concrete, but it is necessary to control the contents of waste fibers in a certain range. When the content of waste fibers is 0.08%, the best improvement effect on the mechanical properties of concrete is achieved; the compressive strength of concrete with a 50% (100%) recycled aggregate replacement rate increases by 6.06% (8.90%), while the splitting tensile strength of concrete with a 50% (100%) recycled aggregate replacement rate increases by 2.30% (6.16%). Through microstructural analysis, the mechanism by which waste fiber improves the mechanical properties of recycled brick aggregate concrete is revealed. The addition of waste fibers has the effect of strengthening the framework inside the recycled brick aggregate concrete, forming a good structural stress system and allowing the recycled brick aggregate concrete to continue to bear loads after cracking. In this study, waste brick aggregate and waste fiber are effectively utilized, which can not only reduce pollution to the environment but also realize the sustainable utilization of resources.

In the rockfall prevention and control project, the reinforced concrete (RC) slab and sand (gravel soil) soil cushion layer are commonly used to form the protection structure, thereby resisting the rockfall impact. Considering that the oversized deformation of the cushion layer under impact load using the finite element simulation cannot converge, this article establishes a numerical calculation model using smoothed particle hydrodynamics–finite-element method coupling (SPH–FEM). First, the standard Lagrange finite-element mesh is established for the whole model using ABAQUS, and then the finite-element mesh of the soil cushion layer is converted to SPH particle at the initial moment of the calculation, and finally the calculation results are solved and outputted. The results indicate that, compared with the results of the outdoor rockfall impact test, the relative errors of the rockfall impact force and the displacement of the RC slab are within 10%, which proves the rationality of the coupling algorithm; moreover, in terms of the numerical simulation, the SPH–FEM coupling algorithm is more practical than the finite element for reproducing the mobility of the rockfall impacting the sand and soil particles. In addition, at an impact speed of less than 12 m·s−1, the cushion layer is able to absorb more than 85% of the impact energy, which effectively ensures that the RC slab is in an elastic working state under small impact energy and does not undergo destructive damage under large impact energy; the peak impact force of the rockfall is approximately linear with the velocity, and the simulated value of the peak impact force is basically the same as that of the theoretical value of Hertz theory; the numerical simulation is good for reproducing the damage process of the RC slab in accordance with the actual situation. The SPH–FEM coupling algorithm is more justified than the FEM in simulating the large deformation problem, and it can provide a new calculation method for the design and calculation of the rockfall protection structure.

The axial compression ratio is one of the important factors affecting the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) walls. Thus, the axial compression ratio is critical in the seismic design of RC walls. In addition to the axial compression ratio, the other significant experimental parameter is the stirrup form of the boundary elements. To study the effect of the axial compression ratio and the stirrup form on the seismic behavior of ductile RC walls reinforced by prestressed concrete strands, four full-scale concrete walls were constructed and subjected to reversed cyclic lateral loading while experiencing constant axial compression, with axial load ratios set at 0.17 and 0.26. The considered stirrup forms of the boundary elements are circular and compound, respectively. All specimens exhibit significant drift-hardening capability with a small residual drift and a small crack width. The ultimate capacity, ductility, stiffness and attenuation process, hysteretic characteristics, energy dissipation capacity, residual deformation, and maximum and residual crack width of the shear walls are compared and analyzed. The experimental results and comparisons between the two groups of shear walls with different axial compression ratios and stirrup forms of concealed columns are presented. The characteristics of the envelope curve are also analyzed, and a simplified bilinear envelope curve model is proposed to better fit the test results.

The dimple of ball grid array (BGA) area with 70 mm × 70 mm size on load board for high performance integrated circuit final test is investigated by shadow moire at first, the dimple of BGA area decreases from 184.3 to 97.1 μm when six additional prepregs with 60 mm × 60 mm size are added at BGA area before hot lamination process. The micromorphology and stress/strain simulation are conducted to improve the coverage and reliability of copper metallization layer in through hole at that BGA area. The microcracks of electroless copper layer at the position of glass fiber and inner layer copper pad, which leads to serious crack after solder float, are well covered by subsequent electroplating copper layer. When the through holes at BGA area with 0.2 mm diameter and 7.0 mm depth are fabricated based on insulating dielectric material used for high-speed signal transmission, the simulation results point out that IT968 is better than M6G for the thermal shock reliability of through hole metallization layer. A load board vehicle with 126 layers and 8.3 mm thickness based on IT968 shows good interconnection structure reliability after 12 times 288°C solder float.
首先通过阴影摩尔法研究了高性能集成电路最终测试用负载板上 70 mm × 70 mm 大小的球栅阵列(BGA)区域的凹痕,当在热层压工艺前在 BGA 区域增加 6 个 60 mm × 60 mm 大小的预浸料时,BGA 区域的凹痕从 184.3 μm 减小到 97.1 μm。为了提高该 BGA 区域通孔金属化铜层的覆盖率和可靠性,进行了微观形态和应力/应变模拟。玻璃纤维和内层铜垫位置的化学铜层微裂纹导致浮焊后出现严重裂纹,而后续的电镀铜层能很好地覆盖这些裂纹。当基于用于高速信号传输的绝缘介质材料在 BGA 区域制作直径为 0.2 mm、深度为 7.0 mm 的通孔时,仿真结果表明 IT968 在通孔金属化层的热冲击可靠性方面优于 M6G。基于 IT968 的负载板车有 126 层,厚度为 8.3 毫米,在经过 12 次 288°C 焊接浮动后,显示出良好的互连结构可靠性。

The bed structure of high-grade large-scale CNC machine tools is crucial for maintaining their long-term service accuracy. This study focused on the key casting process of large nodular cast iron beds. AnyCasting software was employed to simulate and analyze the casting scheme, and then the mold filling and solidification processes were proposed based on the simulation results. The proposed casting scheme indicates that the designed gating system exhibited excellent filling capability. The dual sprue ceramic pipe bottom pouring technique, in conjunction with the chills, not only improved casting efficiency but also met the requirements of sequential solidification design. The castings possessed a dense microstructure characterized by uniform and stable phase composition, primarily comprising lamellar pearlite, with ≤0.5% of phosphorus eutectic and cementite. Furthermore, the microstructure of these materials displayed favorable graphite morphology with a spheroidization rate exceeding 85% and spheroidization grade of 2–3. This study has important academic and application value for the casting process of producing low-stress, high-grade CNC machine tool bed cast iron materials.

The usage of biodegradable materials is gaining mounting applications owing to the environmental problems created by petroleum-based synthetic materials. Agro-waste materials are finding more scope as reinforcement materials in polymer composites, mainly because of their cost-effectiveness and availability. The main aim of this research work is to utilize agro-waste material in the form of mango seed waste (MSW) as a reinforcing material with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to form biocomposite. The biocomposites were fabricated using the solution casting technique. The research work focuses on the influence of varying ultrasonication periods (0–20 min at 5-min intervals, i.e., 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min) on the properties of PVA/MSW biocomposites. The fabricated biocomposites were subjected to tensile test, fracture morphology, moisture absorption (MA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results revealed that the material with the highest tensile strength was 3.95 MPa obtained with the 20-min ultrasonication sample. This value is 49% higher than that obtained in the sample without ultrasonication. The scanning electron microscopy analysis shows that the 20-min ultrasonication sample indicated a good distribution of MSW fillers in the PVA contrasted with the rest of the samples. The thermal stability of the samples treated with ultrasonication was found to be significantly higher than that of the untreated samples, whereas the MA value decreased with increasing ultrasonication time. It can be observed from the results that biocomposites can be a potential alternative to the synthetic materials used in packaging applications.

This value is 49% higher than that obtained in the sample without ultrasonication. The scanning electron microscopy analysis shows that the 20-min ultrasonication sample indicated a good distribution of MSW fillers in the PVA contrasted with the rest of the samples. The thermal stability of the samples treated with ultrasonication was found to be significantly higher than that of the untreated samples, whereas the MA value decreased with increasing ultrasonication time. It can be observed from the results that biocomposites can be a potential alternative to the synthetic materials used in packaging applications.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139411401","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}

Fossil fuels have been the most employed energy source with a consistent and growing consumption; however, they will be replaced by renewable energy sources (RESs). Massively using this type of energy will require new materials, especially metallic-based materials, because the typical materials have shown poor performance. In particular, hydrogen obtained from RESs has technological concerns like absorption/desorption cycling, kinetics, and cost. Similarly, the solar industry demands highly corrosion-resistant materials at high temperatures. As mentioned above, these could be solved using high-entropy alloys (HEAs). HEAs are barely around 15 years old and have been intensively investigated to be used for wide technological and scientific applications due to their unusual mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Thus, this study summarizes advances in HEAs as promising materials for hydrogen and energy molten salt storage technologies and discusses the corrosion performance of current HEAs, considering both the microstructure and constituent element effect.
