Unsaturated Polyester (UP) resins are extensively used as a matrix for the production of composites due to their low cost and versatility. Their significant polymerization shrinkage has however a negative impact on the dimensional stability of the molded p ...
The rheological behavior of a solidifying alloy is modeled by considering the deforming material as a viscoplastic porous medium saturated with liquid. Since the solid grains in the mush do not form a fully cohesive skeleton, an internal variable that repr ...
The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...
This paper describes new polymer/ceramic photosensitive resins that can be used in the microstereolithography process for manufacturing complex 3D components in composite material. These new resins contain high loads (up to 80 wt.%) of alumina nanoparticle ...
In order to eliminate internal and surface defects, which appear in the ingots during continuous casting of metallic alloys, homogeneous and fine structures are often required. Therefore, when the adjunction of inoculant substances is not possible, the ele ...
The different steps associated with the curing of a PVAc/polyester blend are identified and correlated to the mechanism of shrinkage control in the presence of a low-profile additive (LPA). Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) is used as a LPA and is shown to induce ...
This thesis explores the processing and properties of microcellular aluminium-based materials produced by replication. It includes the development of a pressure infiltration process for net-shape component production, structural characterization of the foa ...
Semi-continuous direct-chill (DC) casting of aluminium ingots suffers from a very frequent defect which can lead to a strong decrease in productivity: hot tearing. This phenomenon takes place in the mushy state (i.e., at solid fractions, gs, lower than uni ...
The excitation of a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) wave on a metal-air interface by a diffraction grating under monochromatic normal illumination is investigated numerically. The influence of the different experimental parameters (grating thickness, perio ...
Liquid composite moulding of Lactam 12 monomer and activating system (APLC12) into satin weave carbon fabrics is investigated, with emphasis on minimising the void content in the final part. The main sources for void formation are identified. The solidific ...
