The mechanical properties of polypropylene(PP)and polycaprolactam(PA6)were analyzed after they were immersed in three common automobile stain solutions,namely,No.95 gasoline,glass water and car wash liquid,respectively.The common machine learning methods such as grey correlation degree and technique for order preference by similarity to ideality were used to analyze and process the mechanical property data of the material after immersion,and the comprehensive evaluation was carried out,and the reliability of machine learning in the application of material property exploration was verified by material mechanism analysis and tensile fracture morphology analysis.The results showed that glass water and car washing liquid had little effect on the mechanical properties of polypropylene and great effect on the mechanical properties of polycaprolactam,95 gasoline had little effect on the mechanical properties of polycaprolactam and great effect on the mechanical properties of polypropylene.The comprehensive anti-aging value of polycaprolactam soaked in 95 gasoline was the highest in all six groups of tests,and the anti-aging performance was the best.The comprehensive anti-aging value of polypropylene soaked in No.95 gasoline is the lowest among all the six groups of tests,and the anti-aging performance is the worst.
Displacement-controlled cyclic compressive responses of polycrystalline superelastic NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) are investigated at a maximum strain epsilon(max) of 4.2 % and over frequencies ranging from 0.0007 Hz to 50 Hz in stagnant air. Our focus was on understanding the interactions among phase transition (PT), heat transfer and plastic flow of austenite phase during cyclic operation. We monitored temperature oscillations along with stress-strain relations and observed a critical frequency f(cri)(AY), below which the responses were primarily influenced by the frequency-dependent coupling between PT and heat transfer, and above which macroscopic plastic deformation of the austenite phase played an important role in the cycling process, interacting with PT and heat transfer. Such interactions at high frequencies (f>f(cri)(AY)) led to reductions in temperature magnitude, transition strain, latent heat, and hysteresis heat in subsequent cycles, eventually leading to stabilized responses without plastic deformation. Theoretical analysis considering the interactions among PT, heat transfer, and plastic deformation was conducted to interpret and quantify the experimental findings. We find that the initiation and saturation of macroscopic plastic deformation of SMAs due to heat accumulation acted as a negative feedback mechanism in the cyclic responses, preventing the materials from overheating and potential damage in applications.
To clarify the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanism of rare earth magnesium(Mg)alloy WE43 under extreme service loads,high-speed impact tests under various deformation temperatures and loading paths were conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar.The flow stress along extrusion direction(ED)and extrusion radial direction(ERD)decreases apparently with deformation temperature.Compared with conventional Mg alloys,it exhibits a slight anisotropy and an unusual C-shaped char-acteristic.Cellular dislocation,mechanical twin and fine grain that occur after high-speed impact deformation are insensitive to the loading direction,but strongly dependent on the deformation tem-perature,especially superimposed with adiabatic temperature rise.As a result,dynamic recrystallization(DRX)occurs even at an ambient temperature of 25 ℃.Double twinning and prismatic slip or pyramidal slip are the dominant deformation mechanisms at 25 ℃.These twins induce mechanical cutting refinement to form some fine-grained structures,accompanied by a small number of fine grains by twinning induced DRX.In contrast,the deformation at 250 ℃ is mainly controlled by prismatic slip and pyramidal slip,accompanied by various types of twinning in early deformation stage.Compared with 25 ℃,more fine-grained microstructures are formed at 150 and 250 ℃ through a synergy mechanism of twinning induced mechanical cutting and twinning induced DRX.
Currently,uranium molybdenum alloy(U-Mo)is a very popular fuel used in research reactors,space reactors,and small reactors for special purposes.During the irradiation process,the microstructure of the U-Mo fuel will undergo a series of changes,which may affect the fuel performance during reactor operation.These changes mainly include:the formation of the interaction layer between the U-Mo fuel core and the matrix,the release of fission products(mainly the release of fission gas),and the refinement of the grain size for U-Mo fuel with high burnup.This article summarizes the main characteristics of the above changes and the latest research progress for them.At the same time,it also proposed the development trends in the study of microstructural changes after fuel irradiation in today's world where advanced detection technology has made significant progress.
Supersulfated cement (SSC) is a kind of environment-friendly cement with less or even no clinker, which could consume a lot of phosphogypsum (PG). In order to improve the property of original PG, two modification methods have been taken to study the hydration properties of SSC containing PG with or without modification. The results show that the compressive strength of SSC with modified PG improves at some extent. The pore structure of SSC with modified PG at 90 days also can be optimized, especially for SSC with burnt PG, its porosity, average pore size, threshold aperture, the most probable pore size and the pore volume fraction of microscopic pore all perform best. For early hydration, SSC with burnt PG delays the early hydration and prolongs its induction period, while SSC with neutralized PG accelerates its early hydration. The final hydration products of all SSCs are mainly ettringite and C-S-H gels, while the quantity of ettringite of the control is relative low. Modification treatments can make ettringite more stable especially for SSC with burnt PG. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Because of the insufficient calcium hydroxide content required for the pozzolanic reaction in ultra-high per-formance concrete (UHPC) incorporating high-volume mineral admixtures, hydrated lime was intentionally added to the mortar used for UHPC to investigate its influence on the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of mortar. The mechanism of the effect of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of mortar was analysed by microstructural tests, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), envi-ronmental scanning electron microscopy (E-SEM), and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). The results showed that supplementary hydrated lime at various proportions was conducive to the improvement in the mechanical properties of mortar under the combined curing of hot water at 90 degrees C and subsequent dry-air heating at 250 degrees C. The improvement in mechanical properties was due to the transformation of calcium-(aluminium)-silicate -hy-drate (C-(A)-S-H) gels generated by the pozzolanic reaction into crystalline tobermorite and xonotlite and the subsequent refinement of the microstructure. Furthermore, a denser microstructure and better mechanical properties were achieved when the pozzolanic reaction and cement hydration reached an optimal balance, accompanied by a relatively high content of crystallised phases, including tobermorite and xonotlite.
Lead smelting slag (LSS) is a hazardous waste containing heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, and Pb) and its improper disposal may cause irreparable damage to the ecosystem. Cementitious materials prepared with LSS can be used in construction fields and hazardous heavy metals are also solidified in prepared cementitious materials. In this study, the effects of particle sizes of LSS (8.30, 12.54, and 19.04 mu m) on the compressive strength of prepared with high-volume LSS multiple coupling excitation cementitious materials were explored. According to the composition of LSS, activators were set as 6% MgO, 6% bischofite, 7% CaO, 1% CaCl2, and 8% cement, respectively. Decreasing the particle size of LSS could significantly improve the compressive strength of cementitious materials, especially in the early stage. The sample containing LSS with the particle size of 8.30 mu m showed the highest compressive strength (47.1 MPa) and activity index (78.2%) among the samples containing LSS with different particle sizes. LSS with three particle sizes was analyzed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The analysis results indicated that decreasing the particle size of LSS increased the specific surface areas (SSAs) and decreased the degree of crystallinity. Moreover, the microscopic analysis of cementitious materials implied that decreasing the particle size enhanced the degree of reaction and gelation, thus resulting in the denser structure of blocks. The results confirmed the compressive strength of LSS-based cementitious materials.
Severe plastic deformation (SPD) with high strain rate can increase the material dislocation density, reduce the grain size, and improve the mechanical properties. In this article, ultrasonic compound cutting (UCC) was proposed to improve the efficiency of preparing ultra-fine grain (UFG) pure copper by SPD methods. The motion characteristics and strain rate model of UCC were analyzed, and it was concluded that the maximum strain rate in the primary shear zone can be increased by ultrasonic vibration. According to the 3D FEM equivalent model of UCC, the UCC and traditional compound cutting (TCC) were compared and analyzed from the perspective of strain rate. The simulation results showed that the strain rate in the shear zone of UCC was significantly larger than that of TCC. The microstructure and mechanical properties of pure copper chip were studied by using a self-developed machining device. The experiment results showed that the grain refinement, dislocation density, and microhardness of pure copper chip were significantly improved in UCC. When the ultrasonic amplitude was 3 μm, the UCC chip grains were about 2.66 μm and the hardness reached 124 HV, which was about 8% higher than the TCC chip. The findings of this research provide an important reference for machining UFG pure copper with enhanced mechanical properties.
The preparation of complex porous materials using a small molecular surfactant as the stabilizer of a high internal phase emulsion can result in harm to the environment. In this study, porous composites based on soy protein isolate with poly(acrylic acid) were prepared by in situ polymerization of a high internal phase monomer emulsion with an internal phase volume fraction of 80%. The material was prepared from acrylic acid and an N,N-methyl diacrylic acid monomer solution as the continuous phase, peanut oil as the dispersed phase, and soy protein isolate as the composite stabilizer. Scanning electron microscopy showed that porous composites exhibited a concave/convex three-dimensional interpenetrating pore structure. Fourier-transform infrared spectra revealed the existence of many active groups such as carboxyl, amino, hydroxyl, and sulfhydryl. The composite had a high adsorption capacity for lead ions, even at low concentration, with a removal rate of up to 95.7%. The adsorption process conformed to a two-stage model involving internal diffusion and Langmuir isothermal adsorption. The maximum saturated adsorption capacity was 36.71 mg/g when the initial solution concentration was 150 mg/L, the adsorbent concentration was 7.0 g/L, and the adsorption mechanism involved chemical interactions between the lead ions and the composite groups -COOH, -OH, and -SH.
In recent years, new materials and protection technologies have rapidly developed with the rising worldwide terrorism. This article studied the antiexplosion performance of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strengthened with polyisocyanate oxazolidine (POZD) coated steel plate through contact blast tests and numerical simulations.

The results showed that the antiexplosion performance of steel plate-RC slab was enhanced with the increase of the coating thickness. Based on the above analysis, the empirical expressions of normalized crater diameter, back damage area diameter and POZD bulging diameter were obtained.
