In this paper, the stability of a displacement sensor assembled with Sn96 (tin- silver) solder, Sn62 (tin-leadsilver) solder or conductive silver-loaded epoxy glue was compared. In the absence of humidity or thermal cycling, the glue was found to be much b ...
This paper deals with the kinetic study of bulk free radical polymerization of styrene initiated with the commercial bifunctional initiator 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(2-ethyl hexanoyl peroxy)hexane (Lupersol 256). The polymerization kinetics is investigated by D ...
The tolerances of semi-continuously cast products of aluminium alloys are very critical if the scalping of the ingot faces is to be minimised before rolling. In the steady state regime of casting, the dimensions of the section of the solidified ingot are l ...
Following a review of the processing of functionally graded metals and metal-ceramic composites in Part 1; this Part 2 of the two part series focuses on the thermomechanical behaviour. The paper begins with an overview of the fundamentals of thermoelastic ...
The thermo-mechanical properties of hyperbranched polymer-epoxy blends and their dependence on hyperbranched polymer shell chemistry were investigated. Hyperbranched polymers were shown to be able to increase resin toughness by inducing both a heterogeneou ...
We investigate the well-posedness of a phase-field model for the isothermal solidification of a binary alloy due to Warren-Boettinger [12]. Existence of weak solution as well as regularity and uniqueness results are established under Lipschitz and boundedn ...
Tensile properties have been investigated on the low activation F82H ferritic/martensitic steels for both unirradiated and irradiated material. The irradiations have been carried out with protons of medium energy (590 MeV) at the PIREX facility and doses f ...
During cure of epoxy resins, polymerization induces an increase in mechanical properties, which is accompanied by a volumetric shrinkage. When the resin is cured in a constrained mold to which it adheres, tensile stresses will hence develop, which may exce ...
The development of a conceptual framework to test different viscoelastic constitutive laws is presented. This framework has the advantage of satisfying a priori the thermodynamic restrictions and is valid for large deformations. In addition, the different ...
The implantation of Ni ions into pure Al leads to the formation of similar to 10 nm amorphous zones (AZ) which induce diffuse rings in the diffraction pattern in addition to the diffraction spots of the crystal. Measurements by energy dispersive spectromet ...
