Field Sensing Characteristic Research of Carbon Fiber Smart Material

In order to research the field sensing characteristic of the carbon fiber smart material, the Tikhonov regularization principle and the modified Newton-Raphson(MNR) algorithm were adopted to solve the inverse problem of the electrical resistance tomography(ERT). An ERT system of carbon fiber smart material was developed. Field sensing characteristic was researched with the experiment. The experimental results show that the specific resistance distribution of carbon fiber smart material is highly consistent with the distribution of structural strain. High resistance zone responds to high strain area, and the specific resistance distribution of carbon fiber smart material reflects the distribution of sample strain in covering area. Monitoring by carbon fiber smart material on complicated strain status in sample field domain is realized through theoretical and experimental study.

Analysis on the Bonding Failure Mechanism of High Modulus Carbon Fiber Composites

In order to explore the bonding failure mechanism of high modulus carbon fiber composite materials,the tensile experiment and finite element numerical simulation for single-lap and bevel-lap joints of unidirectional laminates are carried out,and the stress distributions,the failure modes,and the damage contours are analyzed. The analysis shows that the main reason for the failure of the single-lap joint is that the stress concentration of the ply adjacent to the adhesive layer is serious owing to the modulus difference,and the stress cannot be effectively transmitted along the thickness direction of the laminate. When the tensile stress of the ply exceeds its ultimate strength in the loading process,the surface fiber will fail. Compared with the single-lap joint,the bevel-lap joint optimizes the stress transfer path along the thickness direction,allows each layer of the laminate to share the load,avoids the stress concentration of the surface layer,and improves the bearing capacity of the bevel-lap joint. The improved bearing capacity of the bevellap joint is twice as much as that of the single-lap joint. The research in this paper provides a new idea for the subsequent study of mechanical properties of adhesively bonded composite materials.

Carbon Fibers for Bioelectrochemical:Precursors,Bioelectrochemical System,and Biosensors

Carbon fibers(CFs)demonstrate a range of excellent properties including(but not limited to)microscale diameter,high hardness,high strength,light weight,high chemical resistance,and high temperature resistance.Therefore,it is necessary to summarize the application market of CFs.CFs with good physical and chemical properties stand out among many materials.It is believed that highly fibrotic CFs will play a crucial role.This review first introduces the precursors of CFs,such as polyacrylonitrile,bitumen,and lignin.Then this review introduces CFs used in BESs,such as electrode materials and modification strategies of MFC,MEC,MDC,and other cells in a large space.Then,CFs in biosensors including enzyme sensor,DNA sensor,immune sensor and implantable sensor are summarized.Finally,we discuss briefly the challenges and research directions of CFs application in BESs,biosensors and more fields.

Friction and wear behavior of carbon fiber reinforced lithium aluminosilicate composites sliding against GCr15 steel

Carbon fibers reinforced lithium aluminosilicate matrix composites(Cf/LAS)were prepared by slurry infiltration combined with a hot press procedure.The friction,wear behavior,and wear mechanisms of Cf/LAS composites under dry sliding conditions were investigated.The results show that the coefficient of friction(COF)initially increased with the increase in carbon fiber content,and reached the maximum value of 0.20 for the 33%Cf/LAS composite.The COF increased sharply with increasing sample temperature from RT to 300℃.The COF remained stable in the temperature range of 300–500℃.The two wear mechanisms of LAS glass-ceramics are fatigue wear and abrasive wear.The Cf/LAS composites demonstrate slight spalling and shallow scratches.These results show that carbon fibers improve the mechanical properties and wear resistance of Cf/LAS composites.

Research on the Crack Detection of Conductive Components Using Pulsed Eddy Current Thermography

Crack of conductive component is one of the biggest threats to daily production. In order to detect the crack on conductive component,the pulsed eddy current thermography models were built according to different materials with the cracks based on finite element method(FEM) simulation. The influence of the induction heating temperature distribution with the different defect depths were simulated for the carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP) materials and general metal materials. The grey value of image sequence was extracted to analyze its relationship with the depth of crack. Simulative and experimental results show that in the carbon fiber reinforced composite materials,the bigger depth of the crack is,the larger temperature rise of the crack during the heating phase is; and the bigger depth of the crack is,the faster the cooling rate of the crack during the cooling phase is. In general metal materials,the smaller depth of the crack is,the lager temperature rise of the crack during the heating phase is; and the smaller depth of the crack is,the faster the cooling rate of crack during the cooling phase is.
