The question of the quality of samples made of polymer composite materials and its verification by x-ray computed tomography is considered. The capabilities of North Star Imaging X5000 tomograph were studied and the samples from PCM were examined for detection and evaluation of the porosity volume fraction. The factors influencing the accuracy of the estimation of the porosity volume fraction are investigated. Namely the size voxel, a filter material, quantity of projections. On the other hand, the size вокселя defines resolution of the digital image, the relation depends on a material of the applied filter a signal/noise, productivity of control worsens with growth of quantity of projections. The choice of optimum values of the listed parametres is necessary for satisfactory quality received tomographic images.

This study establishes a model for polymer-bonded explosives (PBX) using Digimat-FE. The model identifies the relationship between the material’s effective elastic modulus and the explosive particle volume fraction, shape and gradation, and porosity, as well as other factors. Further, finite element analysis of the stress distribution of the PBX composite material is performed, and the mathematical models between the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient, particle volume fraction, and ultrasonic frequency are established. Finally, an efficient ultrasonic nondestructive testing system is designed to determine the stress distribution and fine crack groups in the material. Experimental results indicate that the relative error of stress detection is within 15%, which meets the requirements of engineering applications.

Defects, such as voids and delaminations, may significantly reduce the mechanical performance of components made of composite laminates. Distributed voids and porosity are generated during composite processing and are influenced by prepreg characteristics as well as by curing cycle parameters. On the basis of rheological and thermal analyses, as well as observations of laminates produced by different processing conditions, curing pressure appears the most influent factor affecting the void content. This work compares different methods for void analysis and quantitative evaluation (ultrasonic scan, micro-computed tomography, acid digestion, SEM image analysis) evidencing their applicative limitations. Carbon/epoxy laminates were produced in autoclave or oven by vacuum bag technique, using different processing conditions, so that void contents ranging from 0% to 7% volume were obtained. Effects of porosity over laminates mechanical performances are analysed. The results of tensile and compressive tests are discussed, considering the effect that different curing cycles have over void content as well as over fibre/resin fraction. Interlaminar strength, as measured by short beam shear tests, which is a matrix-dominated property, exhibits a reduction of failure strength up to 25% in laminates with the highest void content, compared to laminates with no porosity.

Summary We discuss the use of nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) logging in the petrophysical evaluation of thin sand/shale laminations. NMR helps detect thin beds, determine fluid type, establish the hydrocarbon type and volume if hydrocarbon is present, and, finally, determine the permeability of the sand layers (as opposed to that of the sand/shale system). Experiments were conducted on samples of 100% sand, 100% clay, and sand/clay layers with an NMR-logging tool at surface to verify the characteristic T2 bimodal relaxation distribution often observed in NMR logs that are acquired in thin beds. From the bimodal distribution, it is often possible to determine a cutoff to separate the productive sand layers from the shale layers and, with it, the porosity fraction of each component. Subsequently, the sand fraction, or net/gross ratio, can be estimated assuming that the 100%-sand porosity is known. Because gas, oil, and water have different NMR properties, fluid-typing techniques such as 2D NMR offer useful insights into the fluid type and properties in thin-layer sands. Because the laminations thickness is often less than the antenna aperture, the estimated permeability of the sand/ shale system will undercall the true permeability of the sand layers only. In this case, their permeability can be estimated quickly from Darcy's fluid-flow model. We show examples of thin sand/shale laminations that are oil-bearing and gas-bearing. In each case, the NMR detection was verified against borehole-imaging logs, and the fluid type in the sands was determined from multidimensional NMR analysis. The derived hydrocarbon volume was then compared with the results estimated from a triaxial induction tool. Permeability of the sand layers was also computed and compared to that of nearby thick sands. Core data in one well was used to validate NMR detection, porosity, permeability, and net sand thickness.

Full textAbstract:
Prediction of sonic velocities in shales from well logs is important for seismic to log ties if the sonic log is absent for a shaly section, for pore pressure anomaly detection, and for data quality control. An anisotropic differential effective medium (DEM) was used to simulate elastic properties of shales from elastic properties and volume fractions of silt and wet clay (a hypothetical composite material that includes all clay minerals and water). Anisotropic elastic coefficients of the wet clay were assumed as a first-order approximation to be linearly dependent on wet clay porosity (WCP). Here, by WCP we mean a ratio of a pore volume occupied by water to a total volume of the wet clay. Effects of silt inclusions on elastic coefficients of shales were taken into account by using the anisotropic differential effective medium model. Silt inclusions were modeled as spherical quartz particles. Simulated elastic coefficients of shales were used to calculate compressional and shear velocities, and these were in a good agreement with the sonic velocities observed on a test data set from an offshore Mid-Norway well penetrating a 500-m vertical section of shale. To further study the elastic properties of wet clays, elastic coefficients calculated from compressional and sonic velocities measured in shales were inverted for vertical profiles of wet clay elastic coefficients. Analysis of these coefficients found that in the well considered, the increase in elastic coefficients of shales was controlled by the increase of silt fraction with depth. Elastic coefficients of wet clay found no increase with depth. The inverted elastic moduli of wet clay found much stronger correlation with WCP than do the moduli of shale. This confirmed the hypothesis that silt fraction is one of the key parameters for the modeling of elastic properties of shale.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most critical manufacturing defects of cast metal-matrix composites is a non-uniform porosity distribution over the composite volume. Unevenness of the distribution leads not only to local softening, but also plays a key role in the evolution of the damage process under the external loads. The goal of the study is to apply a new laser-ultrasonic method to in-situ study of a local porosity in reactive cast aluminum-matrix composites. The proposed method is based on statistical analysis of the amplitude distribution of backscattered broadband pulses of longitudinal ultrasonic waves in the studied materials. Laser excitation and piezoelectric detection of ultrasound were carried out using a laser-ultrasonic transducer. Two series of reactive cast aluminum-matrix composites were analyzed: reinforced by in situ synthesized Al3Ti intermetallic particles in different volume concentrations and by Al3Ti added with synthetic diamond nanoparticles. It is shown that for both series of the composites, the amplitude distribution of backscattered ultrasonic pulses is approximated by the Gaussian probability distribution applicable for statistics of large number of independent random variables. The empirical dependence of the half-width of this distribution on the local porosity in composites of two series is approximated by the same nearly linear function regardless of the size and fraction of reinforcing particles. This function was used to derive the formula for calculation of the local porosity in the studied composites. The developed technique seems to be promising in revealing potentially dangerous domains with high porosity in reactive-cast metal-matrix composites.

Full textAbstract:
A composite thin shell with a high fiber volume fraction prepared by resin transfer molding (RTM) may have void defects, which create deformations in the final curing and lead to the final product being unable to meet the actual assembly requirements. Taking a helmet shell as an example, a multi-directional compression RTM (M-CRTM) method with an adjustable injection gap is proposed according to the shape of the thin shell. This method can increase the injection gap to reduce the fiber volume fraction during the injection process, making it easier for the resin to penetrate the reinforcement and for air bubbles to exit the mold. X-ray CT detection shows that the porosity of the helmet shell prepared by the newly developed technology is 36.6% lower than that of the RTM-molded sample. The void’s distribution is more uniform, and its size is decreased, as is the number of voids, especially large voids. The results show that the maximum curing deformation of the M-CRTM-molded helmet shell is reduced by 13.7% compared to the RTM molded sample. This paper then further studies the deformation types of the shell and analyzes the causes of such results, which plays an important role in promoting the application of composite thin shells.

In this paper, effect of porosity on nonlinear analysis of plate structures is presented. Two porous distributions are considered. Governing equations are expressed by using isogeometric analysis (IGA) and the third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT). With these approaches, it is easy to fulfil the C1-continuity requirement of the plate model. The obtained results demonstrate the significance of porosity volume fraction, porosity distributions and volume fraction exponent on nonlinear analysis of the plate structures.

AbstractAn onshore gas field (hereafter called the R field—real name not revealed) is in the southeast coast of Tanzania which includes a Tertiary aged shaly sand formation (sand–shale sequences). The formation was penetrated by an exploration well R–X wherein no core was acquired, and there is no layer-wise published data of the petrophysical properties of the R field in the existing literature, which are essential to reserves estimation and production forecast. In this paper, the layer-wise interpretation of petrophysical properties was undertaken by using wireline logs to obtain parameters to build a reservoir simulation model. The properties extracted include shale volume, total and effective porosities, sand fractions and sand porosity, and water saturation. Shale volume was computed using Clavier equation from gamma ray. Density method was used to calculate total and effective porosities. Thomas–Stieber method was used to determine sand porosity and sand fraction, and water saturation was computed using Poupon–Leveaux model. The statistics of the parameters extracted are presented, where shale volume obtained that varies with zones is between 6 and 54% volume fraction, with both shale laminations and dispersed shale were identified. Total porosity obtained is in a range from 12 to 22%. Sand porosity varies between 15 and 25%, and sand fraction varies between 33 and 93% height fraction. Average water saturation obtained is between 32 and 49% volume fraction.

Full textAbstract:
A problem is not a problem anymore if no solution exists; therefore, in the present dissertation, a novel manufacturing technique, the In Situ Forming of a Liquid Infused Preform (ISFLIP), is proposed as a solution to some typical problems that manufacturing of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) parts through Vacuum Infusion (VI) involves, such as not taking advantage of the full potential of FRPs, long processing times and lack of reproducibility.
ISFLIP is a hybrid process between VI and diaphragm forming in which a flat preform of a stack of reinforcement fabrics is firstly impregnated with a low viscosity matrix and, then, formed over a mould while the matrix is still in the low viscosity state. Being focused on high performance FRPs and shell components, from simple to complex double curvature shapes, a number of trade-offs between VI and diaphragm forming were overcome to lay the foundations from which ISFLIP ability to manufacture FRP components has been proven.
In order to adopt a VI manufacturing methodology that fitted ISFLIP targets, important contributions to more general VI have also been made in terms of part quality optimization, addressing the major concern that void content is in VI, with competitive manufacturing times. An effective vacuum degassing procedure in which bubble formation is enhanced through high speed stirring, and a non-conventional filling and post-filling strategy are proposed for this purpose. Eventually, void content was virtually eliminated and post-filling time minimized without affecting fibre content.
In ISFLIP, textile preforms are formed together with a series of auxiliary materials (plastic films and sheets, textile fabrics and knitted meshes), most of them showing different in-plane deformation mechanisms. Forming performance of preforms, as well as final part quality, are severely affected by interactions between all these materials different in nature. Uncertainties on this respect and an initial evaluation of attainable shapes were also addressed to define a more focused research plan to the final goal, still distant, of implementing ISFLIP in a real production environment.
Results obtained throughout the research project give cause for reasonable optimism in ISFLIP potential and future prospects.Un problema deja de ser un problema si no existe solución; por lo tanto, en esta disertación, una novedosa técnica de fabricación, el Conformado In Situ de una Preforma Infusionada con resina Líquida (ISFLIP, por sus siglas en inglés), se propone como solución a algunos problemas típicos relacionados con la fabricación de piezas de Polímero Reforzado con Fibra (FRP) a través de la Infusión por Vacío (VI), problemas tales como el desaprovechamiento de todo el potencial de los FRPs, largos tiempos de procesado y falta de reproducibilidad. ISFLIP es un proceso híbrido entre la VI y el conformado por membrana elástica en el que una preforma plana formada a partir de un apilado de tejidos de refuerzo es en primera instancia impregnada con una resina de baja viscosidad y, entonces, conformada sobre un molde mientras que la matriz permanece todavía en el estado de baja viscosidad. Estando centrado en los FRPs de altas prestaciones y en componentes con formas tipo concha, desde curvaturas simples hasta formas con doble curvatura complejas, un número importante de compensaciones entre la VI y el conformado por membrana se han ido superando para asentar las bases a partir de las cuales se ha probado la capacidad de ISFLIP para fabricas componentes de FRP. Con la vista puesta en implementar una metodología de fabricación por VI que cumpliese los objetivos definidos para ISFLIP, también se han realizado importantes contribuciones de carácter más general relacionadas con la VI en términos de optimización de parámetros de calidad de las piezas, abordando la gran preocupación que la porosidad final supone en la VI, y consiguiendo unos tiempos de fabricación competitivos. Con este propósito se han propuesto un proceso de desgasificación por vacío muy efectivo en el que se favorece la nucleación de burbujas mediante la agitación a alta velocidad, y una prometedora y no convencional estrategia de llenado y post-llenado de la preforma. Finalmente, se consiguió virtualmente eliminar la porosidad atrapada en las piezas, minimizando el tiempo de post-llenado sin afectar la fracción de fibra contenida. En ISFLIP las preformas textiles se conforman junto con una serie de materiales auxiliares (films y hojas plásticas, mallas y tejidos textiles), que muestran diferentes mecanismos de deformación en plano. El conformado de las preformas y el acabado final de las piezas se ve severamente afectado por todas las interacciones entre todos estos materiales diferentes en naturaleza. También se han abordado las incertidumbres que surgen al respecto y una evaluación inicial de las geometrías abarcables para definir un plan de investigación más concreto con el que poder afrontar la meta final, todavía distante, de implementar ISFLIP en un entorno productivo real. Los resultados obtenidos a lo largo de este proyecto de investigación permiten ser razonablemente optimistas en cuanto al potencial de ISFLIP y sus expectativas.

Full textAbstract:
Inverse problems are very challenging as these problems involve, finding the cause by analyzing the effects. In structural dynamics problems, the effects are normally measured in terms of dynamic responses in structures. These responses which are used to find the cause generally have partial data, embedded with measurement noise, and are truncated. Due to these problems, inverse problems are generally ill-posed in most cases as against forward problems.
In this dissertation, we solve five different types of inverse problems involving high-frequency transient loads. All these problems are solved using the time-domain spectral element method (TSFEM) along with experimental or numerically simulated responses.
The dissertation starts with the formulation of the forward problem, which is obtaining the responses from known input forces. The general formulation of TSFEM of composite Timoshenko beam is derived. The isotropic beam formulation is shown as a special case in this formulation.
Five different inverse problems solved in the thesis are:
1. Force identification problem: A new algorithm is developed using a 1-D waveguide, involving an eight noded spectral finite element. The force identification is carried out, using a few measured responses on the structure, and using TSFEM we reconstruct the input force. This is followed by a portal frame example to demonstrate the wave reflection complexities. New procedures are developed to use various types of response data like displacement, velocity, acceleration, and strain to identify the force.
2. Material identification problem: A new procedure making use of the developed TSFEM, few responses, and nonlinear least square techniques are used to determine the material properties. Also, we show the case, in which we derive the material properties without force input consideration.
3. Crack location detection problem: A new procedure is developed using TSFEM and mechanics of crack. Three methods are described, in which the first method uses only responses and wave speeds to determine the location of the crack. In the second method, force reconstruction using the measured responses is carried out and this, in turn, is used to determine the location of the crack. The third method uses the residues of the actual force and the reconstructed forces using the healthy beam matrices and cracked beam responses. A new procedure to identify the crack location using a general force input pulse having many frequency components is also developed.
4. Material defect identification: Material defects like voids or density changes are identified using TSFEM. Location and magnitude of defect are identified using response computation and using the method of residues.
5. Porous location and identification in a composite material: TSFEM is used to construct a porous element and this is used along with a healthy beam to generate the responses. A force reconstruction algorithm is used to identify the location of the porous element. The Force residue method to identify the location of the defect is also demonstrated. Further, we make use of the material identification algorithm with a few modifications to evaluate all the parameters for the porous element.

AbstractThis study investigated the characteristics of dredger fill after preloading at the DaLian. Granulometric composition test and X-ray diffraction were employed to determine the composition of dredger fill. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was combined to determine the related features of the pore. This paper also discussed the changes in porosity, pore diameter distribution, and morphological characteristics of the pore. Preloading influence depth was established based on pore changes. The results show that: the dredger fill contained numerous clay minerals, mainly illite and illite–smectite mixed layer; and the influence depth established based on pore changes of the area was almost 11 m. Within the influence depth, porosity decreased rapidly as the depth increased, and the main scope of pore volume fraction changes from the scope of 0.06–10 μm to the scope of 0.1–1 μm. When depth was greater than the influence depth, porosity slowly changed, pores with diameters greater than 1 μm show an increasing trend. Thus, the soil was compacted.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIt is generally assumed that transport resistance in porous media, which can also be expressed as tortuosity, correlates somehow with the pore volume fraction. Hence, mathematical expressions such as the Bruggeman relation (i.e., τ2 = ε−1/2) are often used to describe tortuosity (τ)—porosity (ε) relationships in porous materials. In this chapter, the validity of such mathematical expressions is critically evaluated based on empirical data from literature. More than 2200 datapoints (i.e., τ – ε couples) are collected from 69 studies on porous media transport. When the empirical data is analysed separately for different material types (e.g., for battery electrodes, SOFC electrodes, sandstones, packed spheres etc.), the resulting τ versus ε—plots do not show clear trend lines, that could be expressed with a mathematical expression. Instead, the datapoints for different materials show strongly scattered distributions in rather ill-defined ‘characteristic’ fields. Overall, those characteristic fields are strongly overlapping, which means that the τ – ε characteristics of different materials cannot be separated clearly. When the empirical data is analysed for different tortuosity types, a much more consistent pattern becomes apparent. Hence, the observed τ − ε pattern indicates that the measured tortuosity values strongly depend on the involved type of tortuosity. A relative order of measured tortuosity values then becomes apparent. For example, the values observed for direct geometric and mixed tortuosities are concentrated in a relatively narrow band close to the Bruggeman trend line, with values that are typically < 2. In contrast, indirect tortuosities show higher values, and they scatter over a much larger range. Based on the analysis of empirical data, a detailed pattern with a very consistent relative order among the different tortuosity types can be established. The main conclusion from this chapter is thus that the tortuosity value that is measured for a specific material, is much more dependent on the type of tortuosity than it is dependent on the material and its microstructure. The empirical data also illustrates that tortuosity is not strictly bound to porosity. As the pore volume decreases, the more scattering of tortuosity values can be observed. Consequently, any mathematical expression that aims to provide a generalized description of τ − ε relationships in porous media must be questioned. A short section is thus provided with a discussion of the limitations of such mathematical expressions for τ − ε relationships. This discussion also includes a description of the rare and special cases, for which the use of such mathematical expressions can be justified.

Abstract100 years ago, the concept of tortuosity was introduced by Kozeny in order to express the limiting influence of the microstructure on porous media flow. It was also recognized that transport is hindered by other microstructure features such as pore volume fraction, narrow bottlenecks, and viscous drag at the pore surface. The ground-breaking work of Kozeny and Carman makes it possible to predict the macroscopic flow properties (i.e., permeability) based on the knowledge of the relevant microstructure characteristics. However, Kozeny and Carman did not have access to tomography and 3D image analysis techniques, as it is the case nowadays. So, their descriptions were developed by considering simplified models of porous media such as parallel tubes and sphere packings. This simplified setting clearly limits the prediction power of the Carman-Kozeny equations, especially for materials with complex microstructures. Since the ground-breaking work of Kozeny and Carman many attempts were undertaken to improve the prediction power of quantitative expressions that describe the relationship between microstructure characteristics (i.e., tortuosity τ, constrictivity β, porosity ε, hydraulic radius rh) and effective transport properties (i.e., conductivity σeff, diffusivity Deff, permeability к,). Due to the ongoing progress in tomography, 3D image-processing, stochastic geometry and numerical simulation, new possibilities arise for better descriptions of the relevant microstructure characteristics, which also leads to mathematical expressions with higher prediction power. In this chapter, the 100-years evolution of quantitative expressions describing the micro–macro relationships in porous media is carefully reviewed,—first, for the case of conduction and diffusion,—and second, for flow and permeability.The following expressions are the once with the highest prediction power:$$\sigma_{eff} \left( {or D_{eff} } \right) = \varepsilon^{1.15} \beta^{0.37} /\tau_{{dir_{geodesic} }}^{4.39} ,$$ σ eff o r D eff = ε 1.15 β 0.37 / τ d i r geodesic 4.39 , for conduction and diffusion, and$$\kappa_{I} = 0.54\left( {\frac{\varepsilon }{{S_{V} }}} \right)^{2} \frac{{\varepsilon^{3.56} \beta^{0.78} }}{{\tau_{dir\_geodesic}^{1.67} }},$$ κ I = 0.54 ε S V 2 ε 3.56 β 0.78 τ d i r _ g e o d e s i c 1.67 , $$\kappa_{II} = \frac{{\left( {0.94r_{min} + 0.06r_{max} } \right)^{2} }}{8} \frac{{\varepsilon^{2.14} }}{{\tau_{dir\_geodesic}^{2.44} }},$$ κ II = 0.94 r min + 0.06 r max 2 8 ε 2.14 τ d i r _ g e o d e s i c 2.44 , both, for permeability in porous media.

Abstract For some applications, we need to use a superconductor that either works at higher temperature or can withstand higher magnetic fields than the workhorse niobium-titanium alloy. The problem with all of the other materials are that they are brittle. This means that it is much more difficult to make them into long lengths of wire. This chapter explores how we go about doing this in practice for two of the technological materials, niobium-tin and magnesium diboride, which belong to a class of materials called intermetallics. As we go along, powder processing of objects by pressing and sintering is introduced. “Under the Lens” sections estimate the volume fraction of porosity and explore the mechanism for solid state diffusion. The Arrhenius equation that crops up in diffusion is one of the most important in materials science which are touched upon in a “Wider View” section.

The study analyzed the heat transfer of water-based carbon nanotubes in non-coaxial rotation flow affected by magnetohydrodynamics and porosity. Two types of CNTs have been considered; single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Partial differential equations are used to model the problem subjected to the initial and moving boundary conditions. Employing dimensionless variables transformed the system of equations into ordinary differential equations form. The resulting dimensionless equations are analytically solved for the closed form of temperature and velocity distributions. The obtained solutions are expressed in terms of a complementary function error. The impacts of the embedded parameters are graphically plotted in different graphs and are discussed in detail. The Nusselt number and skin friction are also evaluated. The temperature and velocity profiles have been determined to meet the initial and boundary conditions. An augment in the CNTs’ volume fraction increases both temperature and velocity of the nanofluid as well as enhances the rate of heat transport. SWCNTs provides high values of Nusselt number compared to MWCNTs. For verification, a comparison between the present solutions and a past study is conducted and achieved excellent agreement.

Supercritical CO2 (sc CO2) is being used to accelerate the natural aging reactions (i.e., carbonation) of Portland cement. This treatment method alters the bulk properties of cement, producing profound changes in both structure and chemical composition. As a result of these changes, the mechanical and transport properties of these cements are also dramatically affected, and they display reduced porosity, permeability and pH, as well as increased density and compressive strength. Two areas of application for the sc CO2 treatment of portland cement have been undergoing investigation. Because the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) formed during the accelerated carbonation reaction is found to have excellent cementing properties, it is possible to replace a large fraction of the relatively expensive Portland cement with industrial waste products, such as fly ash and kiln dusts, which have inherently inferior cementing properties. These modified Portland cements, incorporating significant volume fractions of industrial wastes, can be used as low-cost building materials. The second area of application deals with the enhancement of Portland cements used to encapsulate waste products. Portland cement is used as an immobilization matrix for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste by both the U.S. federal government (Huang et al., 1994) and civilian nuclear power companies in the United States (Wilk, 1997) and abroad (Wilding, 1992). Transportation issues relating to water content, radiolysis, and radionuclide content often preclude the ultimate disposal of these cemented wasteforms (U.S. DOE, 1996). However, the structural and chemical changes produced by accelerated carbonation have been shown to address these problems satisfactorily (Hartmann et al., 1999).

Full textAbstract:
The use of phosphorus-31 Fourier Transform nuclear magnetic resonance (31P FT-NMR) spectroscopy for the study of dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) in fresh water has been recently established by Nanny and Minear. The fact that NMR is an element-specific technique, is nondestructive, and has the ability to differentiate between similar phosphorus compounds makes it invaluable for the identification and characterization of DOP. Such information regarding DOP is required in order to understand aquatic nutrient cycling. The difficulty with using 31P FT-NMR spectroscopy for such studies is the extremely low DOP concentration; usually ranging from < 1 μg P/L in oligotrophic lakes to approximately 100 μg P/L for eutrophic systems. Nanny and Minear raised the DOP concentration into the NMR detection range, which is on the order of milligrams of phosphorus/liter, by concentrating large volumes of lake water with ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Volume concentration factors of several ten thousand fold provided DOP concentrations of up to 60 mg P/L. Other DOP concentration methods such as anion exchange, lanthanum hydroxide precipitation, and lyophilization require severe chemical and/or physical transformations of the sample and/or they need long processing times, all of which increase the risk of DOP hydrolysis. Sample concentration with UF and RO membranes does not require the sample to undergo these major changes and is also a relatively rapid concentration method. In addition to these concentration capabilities, the use of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes permitted fractionation of the DOP samples according to molecular size. Nanny and Minear used three membranes in series with decreasing pore size: 30kDa (kilodaltons), 1 kDa, and RO (95% NaCl rejection) to separate the high-molecular-weight, intermediate-molecular-weight, and low-molecular-weight DOP species. In the intermediate-molecular-weight fraction, Nanny and Minear observed the presence of monoester and diester phosphates. Spectra from ten samples collected over a year typically consisted of a large broad signal in the monoester phosphate region spanning from a chemical shift of 2.00 ppm to −0.50 ppm. The maximum of this signal was usually in the range of 1.00 to 1.50 ppm. This broad signal had a shoulder in the diester phosphate region which sometimes was intense enough to appear as an individual signal.

Instability of refractive index in thin films is attributed to adsorption and desorption of water in the porous columnar structure present. Electron beam evaporated zirconia films are particularly susceptible to this problem because void fractions in these films can exceed 40 %. One approach to reducing the void fraction in zirconia films is ion-assisted deposition. In this work we show a decrease in void fraction in coevaporated zirconia:silica films. In addition, films containing ~20% silica by volume show higher refractive indices than pure zirconia films. The films were produced by coevaporation from independent electron/beam sources onto fused silica substrates at 300°C. Each source was monitored independently by a quartz-crystal monitor. The thicknesses and refractive indices of the films were computed from stylus surface profiling, channel spectra, and m-line spectroscopy. A densification factor, computed from the ratio of the sum of the individually monitored thicknesses to the measured film thickness, was greater than unity for all mixed films. A simple model suggests that the void fraction of the pure zirconia films is 25–40% and decreases with increasing fraction of silica.

Nanoporous metal foams have an increasing importance in applications such as chemical catalysis, energy storage, and nanomedicine. This paper examines a simple strategy for controlling the pore volume fraction and pore size of nanoporous films synthesized by dealloying thin-films. By means of controlling the temperature and concentration of nitric acid in dealloying of AgAu thin-films, partially dealloyed AgAu nanoporous films are produced with a high degree of control over the pore size and pore volume fraction. Such capability enables the design of nanoporous metal catalysts materials with desired morphology.

Abstract Aluminum-based composite coatings reinforced with different volume fractions of SiC particles were deposited on aluminum substrates by means of pulsed gas dynamic spraying using a mechanically mixed composite feedstock powder. Microstructural features of the coatings are examined and their hardness is reported. The results show that the high fraction of SiC particles in the feedstock powder are retained in the coatings and that increasing SiC content in the aluminum matrix significantly improves coating hardness. The highest hardness value was obtained for a coating with 28 vol% SiC. Beyond that, coating hardness decreased, which is attributed to increasing porosity and decreasing cohesion between deposited aluminum-based particles.

Abstract The hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) were widely used as tissue engineering scaffold. The efficacy of the HFMs were affected by the porosity of the HFMs. In this study, the HFMs were prepared with dry-jet wet spinning method. In order to improve the performance of the HFMs, different spinning parameters were applied to systematically investigating the effects of the fabrication conditions on the porosity of the HFMs. A 1-D diffusion model was set to numerically study the volume fraction distribution along the wall thickness. The porosity of the HFMs show a significant decrease in the porosity as the dope concentration increases. The morphology analyses showed that a higher dope concentration leads to a denser porous structure which result in a lower porosity. The results were discussed based on the phase inversion process and the 1-D model was built to numerically analyze the polymer volume fraction distribution in the HFMs cross section. This study can help to better understand the effects of the different fabrication conditions on the morphology of the HFMs.

Abstract Abrasive tools consist of abrasive grains, binder and pores. Binders are the matrix of the material and may be of the metallic, vitrified or resin type. The wide use of polymeric materials (resinoid) is due to their low cost and excellent mechanical properties. The grain has the function of roughing the material, the binder, on the other hand, has the characteristics of ensuring grain adhesion and the pores in the structure are responsible for cooling the abrasive tool. In this work, we report the preparation and evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of resin bond composite abrasives with different structures based on the porous concentration. The composite abrasives were made with phenolic resin and alumina grains. Four different structures were studied from 10 to 30% of porous volume fraction with 50% of grain volume fraction. The concentration of porous and bond in the structure composition were employed to compare the mechanical performance of the prepared composite abrasive. To evaluate the mechanical properties of composites, Impact strength, Young’s Modulus by impulse excitation and flexural strength were realized. It was observed that as the porosity is higher, the impact resistance (absorbed energy) is lower, which confirms the lower resistance produced by the surface area contact (grain/binder) and a greater accumulation of tension in the binder material, the higher porosity value, higher the flexural strength value until 20% of porosity. Samples with higher volumes level of porosity presented lower Young’s Modulus but the presence of pores produced by volatiles by-products (mainly water) should act as stress concentrators, thus favoring lower mechanical properties at the resin-grain interface.

Successful verification and validation is crucial to build confidence in the application of coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics - Discrete Element Method (CFD-DEM). Model verification includes ensuring a mesh-independent solution, which poses a major difficulty in CFD-DEM due to the complicated solution relationship with computational cell size. In this paper, we investigate the theoretical relationship between the solution and computational cell size by tracing the effects of a change in cell size through the mathematical model. The porosity profile for simulations of fixed-particle beds is determined to be Gaussian, and the average and standard deviation of the representative distribution are reported against cell size. We find the standard deviation of bed porosity increases exponentially as the cell size is reduced, and the drag calculations are very sensitive to changes in the porosity standard deviation, resulting in an exponential change in expected drag when the cell size is small relative to the particle diameter. The divided volume fraction method of porosity calculation is shown to be superior to the centred volume fraction method, as it reduces the porosity standard deviation. The sensitivity of five popular drag laws to changes in the porosity profile is presented, and the Ergun and Beetstra drag laws are shown to be the least sensitive to changes in the cell size.

Homogenization theory is utilized to study the effect on the axial stiffness of secondary osteons in cortical bone due to the presence of micro porous features (e.g., lacunae, canaliculi clusters, and Haversian canals). Specifically, 2 geometric characteristics were used to describe these features within the secondary osteons: volume fraction (% porosity) and shape (circular- or elliptical-shaped). Such information was determined for each individual porous feature from an image segmentation methodology developed earlier by Hage and Hamade. For each feature, aspect ratio vectors (or arrays of ratios for each individual porous feature) were used to classify each pore inhomogeneity as cylindrical, elliptical or irregular shape. Two prominent homogenization theories were used: the Mori-Tanaka (MT) and the generalized self-consistent method (GSCM). Using the results of image segmentation, it was possible to calculate the respective Eshelby tensors of each porous feature. To calculate the isotropic stiffness tensors for matrix (Cm) and pores (Cp) the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio for the matrix (Em, νm) were assigned as obtained from literature and as those of blood (Ep=10MPa, νp= 0.3), respectively. The effective elastic stiffness tensors (C*) for the secondary osteons were obtained from which axial Young’s modulus was obtained as function of volume fraction (% porosity) of each pore type and their individual shapes. The normalized axial Young’s modulus was found to 1) significantly decrease with increasing volume fraction (%) of porosity and 2) for the same % porosity, to slightly decrease (increase) with increasing ratio of circular-shaped to elliptical-shaped (elliptical-shaped to circular-shaped) porous features. These findings were validated using experimental micro-indentation study performed on secondary osteons.

Ductile damage mechanics models provide a tool for the prediction of ductile damage and tearing in ductile materials. Models require knowledge of key microstructural features that influence the ductile failure process in order to calibrate critical model parameters. These parameters include the initial and final void volume fraction. The approach widely used to define the initial void volume fraction is to relate this to the volume fraction of void-initiating precipitates quantified using 2D metallography. This paper illustrates how synchrotron X-ray tomography, and high resolution Focused Ion Beam tomography can provide a new and more reliable approach to defining such starting parameters and can provide additional insights into the ductile failure process. This enables more realistic parameters to be derived that predict the distribution of ductile damage below the final fracture surface and hence provide added confidence in the use of the model to predict global behaviour. Results of synchrotron and FIB tomography experiments undertaken with respect to an aluminium alloy AL2024-T351 are presented. The resulting data illustrates the initial microstructure, which includes shrinkage porosity, coarse precipitates and fine dispersoids, and the final microstructure close to the fracture surface following failure. The data demonstrate that the void volume fraction initially increases by the growth of porosity and by precipitate fracturing. Final failure occurs by the rapid formation of nano-scale voids at dispersoids. Analyses of notched tensile specimens are undertaken using the GTN model with parameters derived from the tomography data. Conclusions are drawn regarding the use of microstructurally-derived parameters to predict ductile fracture behaviour.

Porous magnesium (Mg) alloys were processed by solid state sintering from mixture of elemental metal powders and pore-filling materials, such as, carbamide (urea). The porosity of the Mg alloy was controlled by selecting different particle size of the pore-filling and volume fraction material, as well as the sintering condition, which were arranged by a factorial experimental design. The effects of their porosity and porous structure were analyzed and the mechanical strength was evaluated with compression tests.
