  • modeling of mechanical Property Degradation by short term aging at high temperatures
    Composites Part B-engineering, 2002
    Co-Authors: Stephen W Tsai
    Abstract:

    A study on the mechanical Property Degradation by short-term aging at high temperatures is performed. Samples are manufactured using a thermoplastic polymer (PEEK) and advanced polymer composite-2 (APC-2), and are aged at different temperatures for different times. The flexural properties of the aged samples are measured by 4-point bending tests. An appropriate mathematical equation is proposed to model the Degradation data as a function of time and temperature. Numerical techniques are employed to find the optimal values of the parameters using transient temperature profiles. The evaluated results are discussed in comparison with results from previous works to prove the validity of the model. Physical interpretations of the results are provided to support assumptions involved in the model. To illustrate the effectiveness of the model, it was applied to a simulated manufacturing process and a mathematically defined service condition. The model could successfully predict the Property loss during manufacturing and service, which could be utilized as a reference in determining the durability and the lifetime of the product.

  • nonuniform transitions of heavy ion irradiated a c h films structure and antiwear Property Degradation analysis
    Carbon, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jiao Xu, Zewen Duan, Li Qiao, Liqiang Chai, Zhang Chen, Peng Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract A study on hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H) was performed to assess the heavy-ion radiation damage and the nature of defects produced by 1.0 MeV Ni ions of fluences varying between 1014-1015 ions/cm2. The morphology, chemical and optical structures, and mechanical and tribological properties of the films before and after irradiation were examined. Additionally, the effects of nonuniform structures throughout the films on their antiwear properties were discussed. Studies of the wear tracks have suggested that above the maximum damage depth, film wear rates are mainly related to surface roughness, while after that depth, a rapid failure occurs and wear rates change to be closely related to the irradiation fluence. By making steel pits on irradiated films at varied depths of 0–900 nm, visible/ultra violet Raman diagnostics in the depth direction in the definite penetration depth were achieved, and some striking observations were made that the local sp3-to-sp2 transition in the projected range is approximately 700 nm, accompanied by a bombardment-induced hydrogen release that is most severe on the topmost surface of a-C:H films. It is the combined effects of these two factors that contribute to the rapid failure of irradiated films, particularly at the depth of the projected range.
