To analyze the characteristics of TBCs such as residual stress, bond strength, fracture toughness, and crack propagation ratio, the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are important parameters. For TBC is a brittle and thin film, it is desirable to evaluate those properties while the coatings are bonded to a substrate. An atmospheric plasma spray MCrAIY bond coat and Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat are deposited onto a nickel-base superalloy GH150 substrate. The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are measured by cantilever beam bending with NDI. The method will be developed to test the Young' s modulus and Poisson ratio of other multilayer systems.展开更多

And the indentation stress fields of materials with varying ratio H/E on the surface were studied by the experiment. The results show that the penetration depth, contact radius, plastic pile-up and the degree of elastic recovery depend strongly on the ratio H/E. Moreover, graphs were established to describe the relationship between the elastic-plastic indentation parameters and H/E. The established graphs can be used to predict the H/E of materials when compared with experimental data.展开更多

MPEGAA was then used to prepare a polyacrylic acid superplasticizer modified with 2-acrylamido-2- methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS). A single-factor test was performed to investigate the effects of the molar ratio of acid to alcohol (n(AA)/n(MPEG)), inhibitor amount, catalyst amount, temperature, and time of esterification on the synthesis of MPEGAA. The experimental results showed that the optimal esterification conditions were as follows: n(AA)/n(MPEG), 3.5:1; amount of hydroquinone (as an inhibitor), 1.2%; amount of para-toluenesulfonic acid (as a catalyst), 5.5%; reaction temperature, 95 ~C; and reaction time, 6 h. The AMPS- modified polyacrylic acid superplasticizer prepared under the optimal esterification conditions enabled the achievement and maintenance of high cement dispersibility. At an admixture amount of 0.15%, the cement paste fluidity was initially as high as 300 mm, and then decreased to 315 mm after 1 h and to 290 mm after 2 h.展开更多

This experimental study measured ultrasonic wave velocity of coal samples considering both parallel(90°) and perpendicular(0°) to bedding planes, and then calculated the dynamic elastic parameters(Edand ld) and their anisotropy values(AEdand Ald). The variations of Edand ld,as well as AEdand Aldwere analyzed under various confining stresses. The results show that: Firstly, a critical confining pressure exists, and significant variation in the parameters can be seen below this point and weak variation appears above it. Secondly, a positive correlation exists between Edand the square of P-wave velocity(VP2), and between AEdand the P-wave velocity anisotropy(AEP) as well; however, there is no clear correlation between ldand P-wave velocity(VP). Thirdly, according to the major controlling factors of anisotropy, the coal samples with different Edand ldas well as AEdand Aldcan be divided into two types: one is mainly controlled by bedding and cracks and the other one is mainly controlled by differences of mineral compositions in directions. Consequently, this study can provide theoretical basis for future research on the dynamic elastic parameters and anisotropy of coal.展开更多
