  • Influence of fibre volume fraction on mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of glass/epoxy using the 4ENF specimen
    Composites Science and Technology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Peter Davies, Pascal Casari, L. A. Carlsson
    Abstract:

    Glass reinforced composites are used in many structural applications. Their fibre content can vary considerably according to the manufacturing route, typically from 30% to 70% by volume. This paper presents results from an experimental study of the influence of fibre volume fraction on the mode II interlaminar fracture toughness, G(IIc), using the 4ENF (four point end notched flexure) specimen. Results show that G(IIc) increases with decreasing fibre content. This effect is caused by Plastic Deformation Energy dissipation in the thicker resin-rich interlaminar layer in lower fibre content composites.

  • investigations of critical cutting speed and ductile to brittle transition mechanism for workpiece material in ultra high speed machining
    International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 2015
    Co-Authors: Guosheng Su, Qinghua Song, Xing Ai, Bing Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper investigates the brittle removal mechanism of ductile materials in ultra-high speed machining (UHSM). Firstly, a predictive model of critical cutting speed for UHSM is proposed with the theory of stress wave propagation. The predicted critical cutting speed for ductile-to-brittle transition of ductile materials is then validated by machining experiments of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy at the cutting speeds ranging from 50 m/min to 8000 m/min. The experimental results show that fragmented chips are produced above the critical cutting speed of 5000 m/min for 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images of chips, chip roots and finished workpiece surfaces are observed and analyzed. Large amounts of brittle cracks and cleavage steps are observed on the fragmented chip surface obtained under the ultra-high cutting speed. Due to the remained brittle cracks, the finished surface quality obtained with UHSM is worse than that obtained with high speed machining. Secondly, the specific Energy models for the chip formation are proposed and validated by experiments under ductile regime machining and brittle regime machining, respectively. The specific energies consumed for continuous and serrated chip formation mainly include Plastic Deformation Energy located in the primary shear zone, the friction work between the tool–chip interface, and the chip kinetic Energy. The Plastic Deformation Energy accounts for the largest proportion among the total specific Energy. Comparatively, the specific Energy consumed during fragmented chip formation mainly includes the local kinetic Energy of fragments and fracture surface Energy. When the chip morphology evolves from serrated to fragmented one, the specific Energy consumed reduces substantially, which demonstrates that the UHSM is beneficial for the Energy saving. Lastly, taking both of the material removal efficiency and machined surface quality into consideration, the UHSM is recommended to be applied in rough machining or semi-finishing, while high speed machining is recommended to be applied in finishing process. This research firstly reveals the control mechanism for ductile-to-brittle transition of ductile materials under critical cutting speed (i.e. critical strain rate) considering solid mechanics and metal cutting principles as well as Energy consumption simultaneously. This paper is enticing from both engineering and analytical perspectives aimed at revealing the mechanism of UHSM and instructing the optimization of machining parameters.

  • Quantity assessment of Plastic Deformation Energy under impact loading conditions of selected apple cultivars
    Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Zbigniew Stropek, Krzysztof Gołacki
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a new method for Plastic Deformation Energy calculation under impact loading conditions. It consisted in determination of the difference between the values of the absorbed Energy from both force-Deformation course and the formulae for kinetic Energy before and after the impact. Using a high speed camera and a piezoelectric force sensor as two independent measuring systems made it possible. This enabled direct recording of Deformation and force response during the apple impact against a rigid, flat surface. For the tested cultivars the increasing relationship between the Plastic Deformation Energy and the impact velocity was obtained. The coefficient of restitution was an appropriate parameter which allowed to determine the initial apple bruising. The increase of apple bruise susceptibility with the increasing impact velocity was also found.
