Processing of a porous titanium alloy from elemental powders using a solid state isothermal foaming technique
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 20-10-2010
DOI: 10.1007/S10856-010-4162-X
Abstract: The authors have conducted a preliminary investigation with regard to the potential to manufacture porous titanium alloys for biomedical applications using toxic-free elemental powders, i.e., Ti, Nb, Ta, Zr, in combination with the pressurised gas bubble entrapment method and in contrast to standard processing routes that generally utilise prealloyed powder containing potentially toxic elements. Elemental powder compacts were either hot isostatic pressed (HIP-ed) at 1000°C and then foamed at 1150°C or else HIP-ed at 1100°C and foamed at 1350°C. Porous α + β alloys containing up to 45 vol% of porosity in the size range 20-200 μm were successfully produced, thus highlighting the potential of this manufacturing route. It was expected that further optimisation of the processing route would allow full development of the preferred β-Ti phase (from the point of view of elastic modulus compatibility between implant and bone) with this being the subject of future work by the authors.

Effect of Surface-Modified Si-Al-C Fibre Addition on the Mechanical Properties of Silicon Carbide Composite
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd
Date: 27-10-2010
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/AST.71.127
Abstract: The effect of surface modified Si-Al-C® fibre with carbon interface (SA/C fibre) addition on the densification of silicon carbide (SiC) composite was examined. An acid treatment (H2SO4 and HNO3) was carried out at 50°C for 3 h in order to add COO- group to the surface of SA/C fibre and to enhance the dispersibility of SA/C fibre in the SiC powder due to the mixing operation in the polar solvent. Commercially available ultrafine SiC powder (specific surface area: 47.5 m2∙g-1) was mixed with acid-treated SA/C fibre and sintering aid (4.8 mass% Al4C3 and 1.2 mass% B4C) in the presence of acetone. The relative density of the SiC composite with non-acid-treated SA/C fibre addition hot-pressed at 1800°C for 1 h in Ar atmosphere under a pressure of 62 MPa was 98.4%, whereas that of the SiC composite with acid-treated SA/C fibre addition increased to 98.7%. Furthermore, the fracture toughness increased from 5.6 MPa∙m1/2 to 7.0 MPa∙m1/2 for the acid-treated SA/C fibre addition.

DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/KEM.403.257
Abstract: The fabrication conditions of dense silicon carbide (SiC) composites containing chopped Tyranno Si-Al-C (SA) fiber were examined in this work SiC compacts containing SA fiber (mean lengths: 214, 394 and 706 m) were hot-pressed at 1800°C for 30 min under a pressure of 31 MPa in Ar atmosphere. The fracture toughness of SiC composites with 40 mass% of SA fiber addition (sintering aid: 5 mol% Al4C3) increased from 2.8 up to 4.7 MPa•m1/2 as the fiber length increased from 214 to 706 m. The enhanced fracture toughness of the SiC composites was attributed to the lowering of fiber orientation angle (i.e., the angle between the fiber length and direction perpendicular to the hot-pressing direction) to 5° with increasing fiber length. The fracture toughness of SiC composites could be further enhanced through the incorporation of SA fibers with a carbon interface (thickness: 100 nm) into the SiC matrix. The fracture toughness of SiC composite containing 40 mass% of these fibers attained 6.0 MPa•m1/2. The thermal conductivity of SiC composites increased with fiber length from 30.5 W•m-1•K-1 to 45.5 W•m-1•K-1 with no significant influence being noted for the case of fibers with a carbon interface.

ENIGMA and global neuroscience: A decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 20-03-2020
DOI: 10.1038/S41398-020-0705-1
Abstract: This review summarizes the last decade of work by the ENIGMA ( E nhancing N euro I maging G enetics through M eta A nalysis) Consortium, a global alliance of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying the human brain in health and disease. Building on large-scale genetic studies that discovered the first robustly replicated genetic loci associated with brain metrics, ENIGMA has ersified into over 50 working groups (WGs), pooling worldwide data and expertise to answer fundamental questions in neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, and genetics. Most ENIGMA WGs focus on specific psychiatric and neurological conditions, other WGs study normal variation due to sex and gender differences, or development and aging still other WGs develop methodological pipelines and tools to facilitate harmonized analyses of “big data” (i.e., genetic and epigenetic data, multimodal MRI, and electroencephalography data). These international efforts have yielded the largest neuroimaging studies to date in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. More recent ENIGMA WGs have formed to study anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts and behavior, sleep and insomnia, eating disorders, irritability, brain injury, antisocial personality and conduct disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. Here, we summarize the first decade of ENIGMA’s activities and ongoing projects, and describe the successes and challenges encountered along the way. We highlight the advantages of collaborative large-scale coordinated data analyses for testing reproducibility and robustness of findings, offering the opportunity to identify brain systems involved in clinical syndromes across erse s les and associated genetic, environmental, demographic, cognitive, and psychosocial factors.

Effect of machining parameters on the surface finish of a metal matrix composite under dry cutting conditions
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 05-05-2017
Abstract: The machining of aerospace materials, such as metal matrix composites, introduces an additional challenge compared with traditional machining operations because of the presence of a reinforcement phase (e.g. ceramic particles or whiskers). This reinforcement phase decreases the thermal conductivity of the workpiece, thus, increasing the tool interface temperature and, consequently, reducing the tool life. Determining the optimum machining parameters is vital to maximising tool life and producing parts with the desired quality. By measuring the surface finish, the authors investigated the influence that the three major cutting parameters (cutting speed (50–150 m/min), feed rate (0.10–0.30 mm/rev) and depth of cut (1.0–2.0 mm)) have on tool life. End milling of a boron carbide particle-reinforced aluminium alloy was conducted under dry cutting conditions. The main result showed that contrary to the expectations for traditional machined alloys, the surface finish of the metal matrix composite examined in this work generally improved with increasing feed rate. The resulting surface roughness (arithmetic average) varied between 1.15 and 5.64 μm, with the minimum surface roughness achieved with the machining conditions of a cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.30 mm/rev and depth of cut of 1.0 mm. Another important result was the presence of surface microcracks in all specimens examined by electron microscopy irrespective of the machining condition or surface roughness.

Influence of flaw distribution on single fibre fragmentation
Publisher: Thomas Telford Ltd.
Date: 09-2011
DOI: 10.1680/EACM.2011.164.3.163
Abstract: The single fibre fragmentation (SFF) test is an important technique used to characterise interface and fibre properties in polymer matrix composite materials. This paper describes a Monte Carlo simulation technique to investigate the influence of flaw size characteristics (i.e. flaw size probability distribution parameters and flaw number) on the number of fragments resulting from the SFF test. The main result suggested that a minimum number of flaws was required in order to provide valid results – the actual number varied between approximately 100 and 1000 depending on the parameters being varied. Above this threshold value, the number of fragments generally increased as a power law with respect to flaw number. In addition, the main parameter influencing the number of fibre fragments was concluded to be the portion of unshielded fibre at the point of saturation.

Flexural properties of glass and carbon fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 03-09-2013
Abstract: A study on the flexural properties of hybrid glass and carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites is presented in this article. Three combinations of the carbon and glass fibers, i.e. S-2& T700S, S-2& TR30S and E& TR30S, were chosen to make hybrid composite specimens. Specimens were made by the hand lay-up process in an intra-ply configuration with varying degrees of glass fibers added to the surface of a carbon laminate. These specimens were then tested in the three-point bend configuration in accordance with ASTM D790-07 at a span to depth ratio of 32. The failure modes were examined under an optical microscope, and it was found that the dominant failure mode was compressive failure. The flexural behavior was also simulated using finite element analysis, and the flexural modulus, flexural strength and strain to failure were calculated. Both the experiments and finite element analysis suggest flexural modulus decreases with increasing percentage of glass fibers. Positive hybrid effects exist by substituting carbon fibers with glass fibers on the compressive surface.

Properties of Calcium Phosphate Powder Prepared from Phosphoryl Oligosaccharides of Calcium
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 05-2006
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/KEM.309-311.515
Abstract: The phosphoryl oligosaccharides of calcium (POC), extracted from potato starch, are composed of phosphorus oligosaccharides and calcium ions. Ultrafine calcium phosphate particles, whose main phase was hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2: HAp), could be prepared through the hydrothermal treatment of POC solution at a temperature between 110 and 130°C X-ray diffraction indicated the crystallinity of HAp in the resulting powder to be poor and similar to that of living bone. The present HAp powder was regarded to be calcium deficient carbonate apatite with the OH- group being partly substituted by a carbonate (CO3 2-) group. The solubility of the resulting powder in dilute hydrochloric acid was higher compared to that of commercially available HAp, suggesting excellent bioabsorbability for the present powder.

Date: 10-2001
Abstract: The fracture behavior upon stable crack propagation in bending was investigated for a ceramic matrix composite comprising 15 vol% of calcium hexaluminate (CaAl 12 O 19 or “CA6”) in an Al 2 .O 3 matrix and compared to the crack bridging stresses as measured by microprobe fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, piezospectroscopy coefficients of -4.57 and -3.79 cm -1 GPa -1 were determined for the peaks located at 14488 and 14528 cm -1 , respectively, for monolithic CA6. It was concluded that the macroscopic R -curve behavior of the composite could be predicted from microscopic bridging stress data and indicated microprobe fluorescence spectroscopy to be a significant experimental tool for the investigation of fracture micromechanisms in ceramic materials.

A simulation study of the Japanese bō
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 22-03-2013
Abstract: This study examined the mechanical behaviour of the Japanese bō during simulated attack and defence manoeuvres with the aid of finite element analysis. The bō properties varied were handgrip location along the bō shaft and shaft diameter. It was found that an optimal attacking response could be achieved for the following factors: (1) the striking point on the attacking bō, (2) the holding point on the attacking bō, and (3) the diameter of the attacking bō. In addition, the defending response was optimal when defending with an attacking stance. Optimal bimanual grip locations were identified to be in agreement with common practices exhibited by karate practitioners. It was also found that bō geometric construction properties substantially modified the mechanical response. Further empirical testing is needed to verify the finite element analysis findings.

Abstract: The effect of alkali treatment and nanoclay addition on the mechanical properties and water absorption behavior of rice husk particle (RHP) reinforced unsaturated polyester (UP) composites was investigated. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the alkali treatment removed most of the hemicellulose and impurities from the RHP with the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of the resulting composites being improved by alkali treatment. The results indicated that the 5% sodium hydroxide concentration had the optimum performance on mechanical strength and water absorption resistance. Furthermore, the influence of nanoclay addition (1, 3 and 5 wt%) on the properties of optimum alkali treated RHP-UP composites was investigated with the lowest content (1 wt%) of nanoclay showing the highest mechanical performance. However, further addition of nanoclay improved the moisture absorption resistance of the composites. Good interface bonding between the filler and matrix was observed from scanning electron micrographs for the optimum RHP alkali treated and nanoclay dispersed RHP-UP composites.

Abstract: Plastic materials have been widely used to replace metals in functional parts due to their lower cost and comparable technical properties. However, the increasing use of virgin plastic material in consumer and industrial applications has placed a significant burden on waste management due to the volume of waste created and the potential negative effects of its end-of-life processing. There is a need to adopt circular economy strategies such as plastic recycling within industrial applications in order to reduce this significant waste management pressure. The present study used recycled polylactic acid (PLA) material as a feedstock for the 3D printing of a centrifugal semi-open pump impeller. The technical performance of 3D printed recycled PLA material and virgin PLA material was compared in this study. The environmental impacts for technically feasible impellers were assessed through the environmental life cycle assessment, while costs were evaluated by life cycle costing. The results were incorporated into a techno-eco-efficiency framework to compare the technical properties, environmental impacts, and costs. The social impacts of additive manufacturing and recycled feedstock material were also explored. The technical assessment results indicated that tensile strength, fatigue strength, density, and hardness decreased with recycled material content compared to virgin material. Microscopy of the fracture surfaces revealed the presence of slightly higher porosity and defects in recycled specimens, which could result in slightly lower technical properties. However, the recycled material was accepted for further ecological analysis as it offered higher pumping performance when compared to the original component and could reduce the burden on virgin material-based production and waste material disposal. Importantly, the results showed that 3D printed recycled PLA impellers are more eco-efficient when compared to 3D printed virgin PLA impellers.

Abstract: The economic, environmental, and social impacts caused by the extensive resource consumption and harmful emissions from the metal manufacturing industry should be lowered through innovative sustainable manufacturing strategies. This study aims to investigate the techno-eco-efficiency performance of metal 3D-printed parts in comparison with CNC-machined parts to determine the technical, economic, and environmental performance as a decision support tool for selecting the most techno-eco-efficient manufacturing method. In this study, a novel metal extrusion 3D printing technology has been used to create a centrifugal semi-open pump impeller in 316L stainless steel material. The technical feasibility of the impellers has been determined by evaluating the geometry, build material, mechanics, morphology, and functional performance of the impellers. The eco-efficiency performance of technically feasible impellers was evaluated through environmental life cycle assessment, life cycle costing, and portfolio analysis. This eco-efficiency analysis helped ascertain the cost-competitiveness and environmentally friendliness of the 3D-printed impellers by comparing it with the conventional impellers. The findings reveal that the AM impeller is eco-efficient mainly due to lower normalised environmental impacts (54.6%) compared to the SM impeller. The functional parts made by metal extrusion 3D printing are technically feasible, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly compared to the SM counterparts.

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the effect of alkali treatment of Oil Palm Kernel Shell (OPKS) on the mechanical properties ofpolyester composite. The dosage of NaOH in this study is limited to 5wt% concentration.The experiments on mechanical properties investigate the tensile strength, the flexural strength and theflextural modulus of untreated, cold alkali treated and hot alkali treated OPKS reinforced polyester composite. It is found that the alkali treatment improves the mechanical properties of the composite. However, the improvement due tothe hot alkali treatment is significant compared to the cold alkali treatment. The morphology of OPKS and the fracture surface of OPKS composites were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), showing a rough surface and good interfacial adhesion between OPKS as filler and polyester as a matrix.
