Surfaces of E-glass fibers were modified by vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES), vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS) and γ-methacryloylpropyl trimethoxysilane (MPS). The treated glass fibers were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to investigate the effect of glass fibers surface modification on viscoelastic behavior and thermal properties. The morphology of fracture surfaces of various composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that these coupling agents were connected to the surfaces of the fibers by chemical bonding. Dynamic mechanical properties as well as thermal stability of the composites were improved considerablely, but to varying degrees depending on the fiber modification. The diversities of improvement of properties were attributed to the different interfacial adhesion between CLPS matrix and the glass fibers.展开更多

The experimental results show that the dynamic mechanical properties of cement asphalt pastes are sensitive to temperature due to the inclusion of asphalt, and may go through different states within a temperature range of-40 ℃ to 60 ℃, which is different from that of pure cement and asphalt. As the temperature of the cement asphalt paste increases, a considerable change of dynamic mechanical properties, including storage modulus(E'), loss modulus(E'') and loss factor(tand) is observed. Moreover, the influence of asphalt to cement(A/C) ratio on the temperature sensitivity of the dynamic mechanical properties of cement asphalt composites was investigated. The temperature dependency of cement asphalt composites is ascribed to the temperature dependency of the asphalt and its interaction with cement paste. A simple fractional model is proposed to describe the viscoelastic behavior of cement asphalt composites.展开更多

Two different configurations are considered: 1) a straight beam with two actuation layers on top and bottom which utilizes the bimorph effect to induce bending;2) a uniform beam with base excitation, where the beam is mounted on an actuator which moves it periodically at its base perpendicular to its axis. Generally, vibrating micro-cantilevers are required to oscillate at a specified frequency. In order to increase the efficiency of the system, and achieve deflections with low power consumption, geometrical features of the beams can be quantified so that the required vibrating frequency matches the natural frequencies of the beam. A parametric modal analysis is conducted on two configurations of micro-cantilever and the first natural frequency of the cantilevers as a function of geometrical parameters is extracted. To evaluate vibrational behavior and thermo-mechanical efficiency of micro-cantilevers as a function of their geometrical parameters and input power, a case study with a specified vibrating frequency is considered. Due to significant complexities in the loading conditions and thermo-mechanical behavior, this task can only be tackled via numerical methods. Selecting the geometrical parameters in order to induce resonance at the nominal frequency, non-linear time-history (transient) thermo-mechanical finite element analysis (using ANSYS) is run on each configuration to study its response to the periodic heating input. Approaches to improve the effectiveness of actuators in each configuration based on their implementation are investigated.展开更多

The influences on the thermodynamic properties of FRW fire-retardant plywood by the FRW fire retardant were analyzed between the FRW fire-retardant plywood and the untreated plywood. The results showed that the transition temperature of FRW fire-retardant plywood’s storage modulus was delayed than the untreated plywood. Its value was also higher than the untreated plywood. Meanwhile the glass transition temperature of plywood treated by FRW fire retardant was raised. FRW fire-retardant plywood could keep the better mechanical performances and ability of deformation-resistance at higher temperature and during longer period than the untreated plywood.展开更多
