The variability of thermal expansion coefficients during the molding of plastics causes the development of frozen thermal stresses in the molded parts. Also, the distribution of thermal expansion coefficients of the material in the molded part plays an important role in controlling shrinkage and warpage. In turn, the distribution of linear thermal expansion coefficients (LTECs) depends on the distributions of crystallinity and orientation in the part. In the case of fibre reinforced polymers, the distributions of fibre concentration and orientation are also important.In this project, a model has been proposed for estimating the LTEC of fibre reinforced plastics as a function of crystallinity, matrix orientation, and fibre concentration and orientation. Also, extensive data have been obtained regarding the LTEC of polypropylene with and without fibre reinforcement. Extruded pellets and injection molded parts were considered. Model predictions have been compared with experimental data.

The focus of the research is to develop a consistent and repeatable method to
evaluate the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of carbon fibers at high
temperatures. Accurate measurement of the CTE of carbon fibers is essential to
understand and develop optimal processing procedures as well as computational
simulations to predict properties and allowables for fiber-reinforced composites. The
mismatch between the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fiber and the matrix has a
profound impact on the development of residual stresses and the subsequent damage
initiation and progression, potentially diminishing the performance of composite
structures.
In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is selected to perform the
experimental work on account of the high resolution and the capability of evaluating
both the longitudinal and transverse CTE. The orthotropy in the CTE is tested by
rotating the fibers through 45° about their axis. The method is validated by testing
standard tungsten filaments of known CTE. Additionally, the microstructure of the fibers
is studied in a field emission scanning electron microscope as well as through selected
area diffraction patterns in a TEM to observe presence of any potential orthotropy. The
pitch based P55 fiber revealed a cylindrically orthotropic microstructure, but the PAN
based IM7 and T1000 fibers did not reveal any orthotropy. Finite element models of
hexagonally arranged IM7 fibers in a 977 epoxy matrix are developed using PATRAN
and analyzed using the commercial FEA code ABAQUS 6.4. The fiber properties were
considered temperature independent where as the matrix properties were varied linearly
with temperature. The lamina properties evaluated from the finite element modeling are
in agreement with the experimental results in literature within 10% in the temperature
range of room temperature to the stress free temperature of the epoxy, however at
cryogenic temperatures the difference is greater. The residual stresses developed during
processing of the composite indicated a potential location for fiber matrix debonding to
be in the matrix dominant regions.

Ultra cold quantum gas is a convenient system to study fundamental questions of modern physics, such as phase transitions and critical phenomena. This master thesis is devoted to experimental investigation of the thermodynamics susceptibilities, such as the isothermal compressibility and the thermal expansion coefficient of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of 87Rb atoms. The critical phenomena and the critical exponents across the transition can explain the behavior of the isothermal compressibility and the thermal expansion coefficient near the critical temperature TC. By employing the developed formalism of global thermodynamics variables, we carry out a statistical treatment of Bose gas in a 3D harmonic potential. After that, comparison of obtained results reveals the most appropriate state variables describing the system, namely volume and pressure parameter V and Π respectively. The both are related with the confining frequencies and BEC density distribution. We apply this approach to define the set of new thermodynamic variables of BEC, and also to construct the isobaric phase diagram V T. Its allows us to extract the compressibility κT and the thermal expansion coefficient βΠ. The behavior of the isothermal compressibility corresponds to the second-order phase transition, while the thermal expansion coefficient around the critical point behaves as β ∼ tr-α, where tr is reduced temperature of the system and α is the critical exponent on the basic of these. Results we have obtained the critical exponent α = 0.15±0.09, which allows us to determine the system dimensionality by means of the scaling theory, relating the critical exponents with the dimensionality. As a result, we found out that the dimensionality of the system to be d ∼ 3, one is in agreement with the real dimension of the system.Amostras atômicas ultrafrias de um gás de Bose são convenientes para estudar questões fundamentais da física moderna, como as transições de fase e fenômenos críticos em condensados de Bose-Einstein (BEC). A minha dissertação dedica se à investigação das susceptibilidades termodinâmicas como a compressibilidade isotérmica e o coeficiente de expansão térmica de a traves da transição de um BEC de 87Rb. Os fenômenos críticos e os exponentes críticos a traves da transição podem explicar o comportamento da compressibilidade isotérmica e do coeficiente de expansão térmica perto da temperatura crítica TC. Ao empregar o desenvolvido formalismo das variáveis termodinâmicas globais, levamos a cabo o tratamento estatístico de um gás de Bose num potencial harmônico 3D. Depois da comparação dos resultados obtidos, revelam as mais apropriadas variáveis de estado descrevendo o sistema, chamadas parâmetro de volume e pressão, V e Π respectivamente. As duas estão relacionadas com as frequências de confinamento e a distribuição de densidade do BEC. Nós aplicamos esta abordagem para definir um conjunto de novas variáveis termodinâmicas do BEC, e também para construir o diagrama de fase isobárico V T. O anterior nós permite extrair a compressibilidade κT e o coeficiente de expansão termina βΠ. O comportamento da compressibilidade isotérmica corresponde a uma transição de fase de segunda ordem enquanto que o coeficiente de expansão térmica ao redor do ponto crítico comporta se como β ∼ tr-α, onde tr é a temperatura reduzida do sistema, e α o exponente crítico. Deste resultado nós obtemos um exponente critico, α = 0.15 ± 0.09, que permite determinar a dimensionalidade do sistema a traves da teoria de escala, relacionando os exponentes críticos com a dimensionalidade. Como resultado, encontramos que a dimensionalidade do sistema é d ∼ 3 que está de acordo como a dimensão real do sistema.

A síntese de pós nanométricos do Al2Mo3O12 para otimização de seu coeficiente de expansão térmica na forma maciça tem como objetivo principal aproximar o comportamento térmico intrínseco e extrínseco do material. A expansão térmica intrinseca de escala atomica é medida por difração de raios-X a partir do aumento dos parametros de rede, por outro lado, a tecnica de dilatometria mede ambos os efeitos tanto intrinsecos quanto extrinsecos provenientes da microestrutura. Materiais anisotropicos apresentam coeficientes de expansão termica diferentes ao longo dos eixos cristalograficos, e com isso são encontradas maiores diferenças entre as propriedades intrinseca e maciça da expansão termica. Dessa forma a aplicação desses materias anisotropicos na forma maciça é comprometida devido a formação de microtrincas. O Al2Mo3O12 foi obtido na forma nanometrica pela síntese por coprecipitação e na forma micrométrica pela síntese de sol-gel assistido com álcool polivinilico e por reação em estado solido. Dessa forma o resultado de CET maciço obtidos pelos três métodos foram comparados entre si e também comparados aos existentes na literatura para comportamento intrínseco e maciço. Os resultados mostraram que o Al2Mo3O12 na forma nanometrica possui resultado de CET maciço muito próximo ao intrínseco, diferente do obtido para o micrométrico e também do já reportado na literatura,o que confirma que a partir de um tamanho de cristal critico não seria mais possível obter um mesmo CET intrínseco e maciço para um mesmo material.
Optimization of the bulk thermal expansion coefficient of the Al2Mo3O12 using nanometric powder in order to approximate the intrinc and the extrinsic thermal properties.When a solid body is exposed to temperature variation, a change of dimensions will occur due to emergence of different effects originating at atomic (intrinsic) or microstructural (extrinsic) scales. The intrinsic thermal expansion is measured by X-ray diffraction from lattice parameters increase, on the other hand, the technique of dilatometric measures both the intrinsic as both extrinsic effects may then be defined as their CTE solid (bulk). Cubic materials exhibit isotropic behavior during thermal expansion, and thus may be insignificant variations between intrinsic and CTE s massive. Anisotropic materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion along the crystallographic axes, and presents major differences between the intrinsic properties and thermal expansion of the bulk, being mostly a bulk CTE smaller than the intrinsic one. The application of these anisotropic materials is difficult because bulk CTE massive changes expected due to formation of microcracks. The Al2Mo3O12 was obtained by three routes :coprecipitation (nanometric way) , sol-gel assisted with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and by solid state reaction (micrometric ways). Thus the result of bulk CET obtained by the three methods were compared and also compared with those found in the literature for intrinsic behavior and bulk. The nanometric Al2Mo3O12 showed a bulk linear CTE close to the intrinsic value, whereas micrometric one showed a negative bulk CTE ,which confirms that from a critical cristal size it is no possible to obtain bulk CTE close to the intrinsic one.

The deformation of a mirror's optical surface due to a spacial variation of the coefficient of thermal expansion is examined. Four types of variations of the coefficient of thermal expansion are studied. These represent variations which result after typical manufacturing and/or fabrication processes. Equations describing the deformations resulting from the variations in the coefficient of thermal expansion are derived for some of the cases. Deformations due to more complex variations in the coefficient of thermal expansion are developed empirically using data generated by the finite-element method.

Full textAbstract:
A new mineralogical approach is introduced to predict aggregate and concrete coefficient
of thermal expansion (CoTE). Basically, a modeling approach is suggested based on the
assumption that the CoTE of aggregate and concrete can be predicted from the CoTE of
their constituent components. Volume percentage, CoTE and elastic modulus of each
constituent mineral phase are considered as input for the aggregate CoTE model, whereas
the same properties for coarse aggregate and mortar are considered for the concrete CoTE
model. Methods have been formulated to calculate the mineral volume percentage from
bulk chemical analysis for different type of rocks commonly used as aggregates in Texas.
The dilatometer testing method has been established to measure the CoTE of aggregate,
pure minerals, and concrete. Calculated aggregate CoTE, based on the determined CoTE
of pure minerals and their respective calculated volume percentages, shows a good
resemblance with the measured aggregate CoTE by dilatometer. Similarly, predicted
concrete CoTE, based on the calculated CoTE of aggregate and mortar and their
respective volume percentages compares well with the measured concrete CoTE by
dilatometer. Such a favorable comparison between predicted and measured CoTE
provided a basis to establish the composite model to predict aggregate and concrete
CoTE. Composite modeling will be useful to serve as a check of aggregate source
variability in terms of quality control measures and improved design and quality control
measures of concrete.

Full textAbstract:
Thermal mismatch between different components of a system could be sources of problems like residual stress induced cracking, thermal fatigue or even optical misalignment in certain high technology applications. Use of materials with tailored thermal expansion coefficient is a counter-measure to overcome such problems. With its negative thermal expansion coefficient zirconium tungstate (ZrW2O8) is a candidate component to be used in synthesis of composites with controlled thermal expansion coefficient (CTE).
ZrW2O8 is typically produced by solid-state reaction between zirconium oxide and tungsten oxide at 1200oC. However, it has been demonstrated that ZrW2O8 can also be synthesized using wet chemical techniques, which provide a superior chemical homogeneity that often extents down to the atomic scale, and the convenient means of controlling nucleation and growth of the primary crystallites. With the commonly adopted wet chemical approaches, it is possible to crystallize particles with sizes in the submicrometer range at temperatures as low as 600 oC or even lower. In these studies, precursors are aged either below 100 oC (7 days &ndash3 weeks), or at 160-180 oC under hydrothermal conditions (1&ndash
2 days). Besides the obvious disadvantage in the ageing steps, use of tungsten sources with high cost in all approaches, constitutes the other disadvantage. Production of composites with tunable controlled thermal expansion (CTE) has been achieved by blending negatively and positively expanding materials in different proportions. In majority of these studies composites have been produced by conventional sintering methods. Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a recent technique
in which sintering can be achieved at relatively low temperatures in short durations. There is only one study made by Kanamori and coworkers on the use of SPS in sintering of a composite, in which ZrW2O8 is one of the constituents [1]. This study aims the synthesis of ZrW2O8 particles and composites that possess tunable or zero CTE. A novel precursor recipe for ZrW2O8 synthesis was developed. In preparation of the precursor a total of 2 days of ageing and a temperature less than 100 oC was used. It was developed using a cost-effective tungsten source, namely tungstic acid and its final pH was lower than 1. The particles obtained from &lsquo
unwashed&rsquo
procedure had sizes in micrometer range, while those obtained from &lsquo
washed&rsquo
case had sizes in the range of 400-600 nm. These precursors could readily be crystallized at 600 oC, which in turn provided the desired particle sizes for composite applications. Experimental details on the precursor development are hereby presented with a discussion on the effects of solution parameters (i.e. solubility of tungstic acid, adjustment of the stoichiometry, ageing time) on the phase purity of the fired product. Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) has positive vi thermal expansion, therefore ZrW2O8/ZrO2 was selected as the composite system, and for their synthesis both conventional and spark plasma sintering methods were experimented. Composition ranges that provide composites with almost zero CTE&rsquo
s were determined. The composite having a composition of containing 35% ZrW2O8, 65% ZrO2, and 35 w/o Al2O3 and sintered at 1200 oC for 24 hours had an expansion coefficient of 0.20 x 10-6/K for conventional method, while the one having a composition of 55% ZrW2O8, 45% ZrO2 and sintered at 1000 oC for 5 minutes had an expansion coefficient of 0.94 x 10-6/K for spark plasma sintering method. For characterization of the products X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), and thermal and dilatometer analyses (DTA/TGA/DMA) were used.

Full textAbstract:
A material’s Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) is a valuable physical property, particularly for structural fiber reinforced composites that are routinely used in satellite/aerospace applications. Satellite space structures are routinely designed with a high degree of dimensional and thermal stability. Designing and verifying for near zero CTE performance is a common design requirement. The CTE is routinely a physical property with known values for common materials. However, the strength, stiffness and CTE properties on a multi-ply graphite fiber reinforced laminate composite can be tailored to specific engineering requirements. Because of this, a method of verification (testing) is routinely performed to ensure these requirements are met.

Les matériaux composites à matrice métallique (CMM) sont actuellement étudiés pour être utilisés dans de nombreux domaines d’application. L’une des applications potentielles concerne leur utilisation en tant que drain thermique pour les modules de puissance. Pour cette application, deux conditions sont requises : une conductivité thermique (CT) élevée pour évacuer la chaleur générée par la puce électronique et un coefficient d’expansion thermique (CTE) proche du substrat céramique (2-8×10-6 /K) utilisé dans le module de puissance.Ainsi des matériaux composites à matrice aluminium (Al : CT de 217 W/m.K et CTE de 24×10-6 /K) et à renfort plaquette de graphite (GF : CT de 1000 W/m.K et CTE de -1×10-6 /K dans le plan de la plaquette) ont été élaborés. Ces matériaux composites ont été fabriqués par Métallurgie des Poudres (MP) conventionnelle mais aussi par un procédé original nommé Flake Powder Metallurgy (FPM). Ce procédé, qui consiste à utiliser une poudre métallique à morphologie plaquette, a permis d’optimiser l’orientation des renforts plaquette dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction de densification sous l’action d’une pression uniaxiale. De plus, ce procédé a permis d’obtenir une meilleure adhésion entre la matrice et le renfort comparé aux matériaux composites élaborés par MP conventionnelle. Cela a abouti à une amélioration de la CT qui est passée de 400 W/m.K à 450 W/m.K pour un taux de renfort de 50%vol. Néanmoins, concernant la dilatation thermique, des CTE de 21,8×10-6 /K et 21,7×10-6 /K ont été obtenus par MP et FPM respectivement, ce qui est incompatible avec l’application visée.Pour surmonter cette problématique, des matériaux composites à renfort multiple ont été élaborés par frittage en phase liquide. Ainsi des fibres de carbone (FC) ont été rajoutées à l’aluminium et aux plaquettes de graphite. L’ajout de ce second renfort au graphite a permis de diminuer de manière importante le CTE des composites Al/(GF+FC) avec une faible proportion en FC tout en maintenant une haute CT. De plus les matériaux composites Al/(GF+FC) présentent des CTE nettement inférieurs aux composites Al/FC avec un %vol. de FC équivalent. Ainsi des matériaux composites Al/(GF+FC) ont été élaborés par frittage en phase liquide permettant d’obtenir une CT de 400 W/m.K (comparable à la CT du cuivre) et un CTE de 8×10-6 /K (comparable au CTE de l’alumine). De plus la légèreté de l’aluminium confère aux matériaux composites Al/C une faible densité (d=2,4). Par conséquent, les matériaux développés dans cette étude sont prometteur en tant que drain thermique léger, notamment dans le domaine de l’électronique embarquéeMany carbon/metal composites are currently used in several applications. One of them concerns their use as heat sinks in microelectronics. Concerning this application, two conditions are required: a high thermal conductivity (TC) in order to evacuate the heat generated by the electronic chip and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) similar to the used material type of the electronic device (2-8×10-6 /K).Therefore, graphite flakes (GF; TC: 1000 W/m.K and CTE: -1×10-6 /K in the graphite plane) reinforced aluminum matrix (Al; TC: 217 W/m.K and CTE: 25×10-6 /K) composites were fabricated. These composite materials were fabricated by Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Flake Powder Metallurgy (FPM). This process, which consist to use a flattened metallic powder, helped to improve the in-plane orientation (perpendicular to the pressure direction) of GF under uniaxial pressure. Moreover, this process provided a better Al-C interface thanks to a planar contact between the matrix and the reinforcements. This resulted in an improvement of the CT from 400 W/m.K to 450 W/m.K for a reinforcement content of 50 vol.%. Nevertheless, regarding thermal dilation, CTEs of 21.8×10-6 /K and 21.7×10-6 /K were obtained by MP and FPM respectively, which is incompatible with the intended application.To overcome this problem, composite materials with multiple reinforcement were developed by solid-liquid phase sintering. Then, carbon fibers (CF) have been added to aluminum and graphite flakes. The addition of CF to GF reinforcement reduced significantly the CTE of the Al/(GF+CF) composites with a small proportion of CF, while preserving a high TC. In addition, the Al/(GF+FC) composite materials have significantly lower CTEs than the Al/CF composites with a equivalent vol.% of CF. Therefore, Al/(GF+CF) composite materials were developed by solid-liquid phase sintering to obtain a TC of 400 W/m.K (comparable to the TC of copper) and a CTE of 8×10-6 /K (comparable to the CTE of alumina). In addition, the lightweight of aluminum gives composite materials Al/C a low density (d = 2.4 g/cm3). Therefore, the composite materials developed in this study are promising as a lightweight heat sink in microelectronic industries

Analytic and computational micromechanics techniques based on the composite cylinders method and the finite element method, respectively, have been used to determine the effective coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of carbon nanotube-epoxy nanocomposites containing aligned nanotubes. Both techniques have been used in a parametric study of the influence of interphase stiffness and interphase CTE on the effective CTE of the nanocomposites. For both the axial and transverse CTE of aligned nanotube nanocomposites with and without interphase regions, the computational and analytic micromechanics techniques were shown to give similar results. The Mori-Tanka method has been used to account for the effect of randomly oriented fibers. Analytic and computational micromechanics techniques have also been used to assess the effects of clustering and clustering with interphase on the effective CTE components. Clustering is observed to have a minimal impact on the effective axial CTE of the nanocomposite and a 3-10%. However, there is a combined effect with clustering and one of the interphase layers.Master of Science

Du fait leur conductivité thermique élevée, les matériaux composites à matrice métallique et renfort carbone possèdent un fort potentiel d’application pour la gestion thermique en électronique. Ces travaux présentent le développement d’un nouveau procédé pour la synthèse de matériaux composites Ag/rGO (argent / « reduced Graphene Oxide ») et Ag/GF (argent / « Graphite Flakes ») par métallurgie des poudres. Ce procédé, inspiré des méthodes de « molecular level mixing », permet d’obtenir des poudres composites Ag/rGO dans lesquelles les nano-renforts sont individualisés jusqu’à une concentration volumique de 1 %. Lorsqu’il est appliqué à la synthèse de matériaux composites Ag/GF, ce dernier permet l’élaboration de matériaux composites denses avec une concentration volumique en graphite jusqu’à 70 % et une conductivité thermique jusqu’à 675 W.m-1.K-1 (426 W.m-1.K-1 pour l’argent pur). En outre, il a été montré que le procédé d’élaboration des poudres composites Ag/GF a une forte influence sur l’anisotropie structurale des matériaux massifs ainsi que sur la résistance thermique d’interface extrinsèque Ag-graphite. Le procédé d’élaboration développé dans ces travaux permet ainsi d’obtenir des matériaux ayant une conductivité thermique jusqu’à 19 % supérieure à celle des matériaux obtenus par un procédé de mélange conventionnel. Néanmoins, comme la plupart des matériaux composites métal/GF (à matrice Cu, Al, Mg et Fe), la dilatation thermique des matériaux composites Ag/GF présente des « anomalies ». En effet, l’anisotropie de leur coefficient d’expansion thermique (CTE) est opposée à leur anisotropie structurale, leur CTE a une dépendance anormalement élevée vis-à-vis de la température et ces matériaux présentent une instabilité dimensionnelle en cyclage thermique. S’il est communément admis dans la littérature que ces anomalies sont la conséquence des contraintes internes générées lors de l’élaboration des matériaux (du fait de la différence de CTE entre matrice et renfort), ce phénomène reste mal compris et difficile à maitriser. Une part importante de ces travaux est consacrée à l’étude de ces « anomalies » et en particulier à l’étude de l’influence des propriétés mécaniques de la matrice d’argent sur la dilation thermique des matériaux composites. Grâce à la combinaison des caractérisations d’EBSD, de DRX, de microdureté instrumentée et de microscopie, des phénomènes clés responsables des propriétés thermomécaniques des matériaux composites Ag/GF ont pu être identifiés. En particulier, il a été montré qu’une part importante des contraintes internes est relaxée via la déformation plastique de la matrice d’argent et la déformation pseudo plastique du graphite lors du refroidissement post-densification des matériaux composites. Ainsi, le contrôle des propriétés mécaniques de la matrice métallique (en particulier de sa limite d’élasticité) permet d’atténuer les anomalies en CTE et confère une meilleure stabilité dimensionnelle aux matériaux composites Ag/GF lors d’un cycle thermique. L’addition de rGO dans la matrice d’argent des matériaux composites Ag/GF a également permis de réduire l’instabilité dimensionnel des matériaux jusqu’à 50 % grâce aux propriétés d’amortissement du rGODue to their high thermal conductivity, metal matrix composite materials reinforced with carbon allotropes exhibit a high potential application for thermal management in electronics. This work deals with the elaboration of new synthesis process to produce Ag/rGO (silver/reduced Graphene Oxide) and Ag/GF (silver/Graphite Flakes) composite materials. This process, based on “molecular level mixing” methods, makes it possible to obtain Ag/rGO composite powders with individualized nano-reinforcements up to a concentration of 1 % in volume. Applied to the synthesis of Ag/GF composite materials, it allows to synthesize dense composite materials with a graphite concentration up to 70 % in volume and with a thermal conductivity up to 675 Wm-1.K-1 (426 Wm-1.K-1 for pure silver). Moreover, it has been shown that Ag/GF powders elaboration process has a strong influence on the structural anisotropy of bulk materials as well as on the extrinsic thermal boundary resistance Ag-graphite. The process developed in this work allows Ag/GF composite materials to reach thermal conductivity up to 19 % higher than the same materials synthesized by conventional mixing powder process. However, like most metal/GF composite materials (with Cu, Al, Mg and Fe matrix), thermal expansion of Ag/GF composite materials shows “anomalies”. Indeed, the anisotropy of their coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is opposed to their structural anisotropy, their CTE has an abnormally high dependence on temperature and these materials exhibit dimensional instability during thermal cycling. While it is commonly admit in literature that these “anomalies” are the consequence of internal stresses generated during materials densification (because of CTE mismatch between matrix and reinforcement), this phenomenon remains poorly understood and difficult to control. A significant part of this work is devoted to the study of these anomalies and especially to the study of the influence of matrix mechanical properties on composite materials thermal expansion. Thanks to EBSD, XRD, instrumented microhardness and microscopy analysis, key phenomena responsible of thermomechanical behavior of Ag/GF composite materials have been identified. Especially, it has been shown that a large part of the internal stresses is relaxed by plastic deformation of silver matrix and pseudo-plastic deformation of graphite during the post-densification cooling step of the materials. Thus, the control of mechanical properties of metallic matrix (especially of its elastic limit) makes it possible to attenuate the anomalies in CTE and confers a better dimensional stability to Ag / GF composite materials during thermal cycling.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de ce travail concerne l'étude de l'amorphisation sous pression (PIA) dans des aluminophosphates, qui présentent des coefficients de expansion thermiques négatif (NTE). La synthèse de ces aluminophosphates, leur stabilité en température (dilatation) ainsi que leur comportement sous pression (amorphisationant) été étudiés. Les aluminophosphates choisis pour réaliser cette étude sont AlPO4-54, premier tamis moléculaire uniforme ayant des pores (unidimensionnelles parallèles à l'axe c) de diamètre supérieur à 1 nm, et AlPO4-17, qui présente une porosité tridimensionnelle et le plus fort coefficient de dilatation thermique négatif connu dans les matériaux oxydes. Chaque matériau déshydrataté a été étudié par diffraction des rayons-X sous pression en cellule à enclume de diamants (CED). AlPO4-54 subit une transformation de phase vers AlPO4-8 sous pression avant l'amorphisation. Au contraire, AlPO4-17 qui s'amorphise à basses pressions, est extrêmement compressible et présente une instabilité élastique, avec valeur négative pour B0'. Des valeurs anormales (négatives) pour B0' sont rares et ont déjà été observées pour des cyanures et des MOF (metal organic framework). Cette instabilité semble être caractéristique des matériaux présentant une forte NTE, montrant le lien entre la NTE et la compressibilité anormale. L'influence de la basse température sur l'eau confinée dans les pores de la structure d'AlPO4-54•xH2O a été étudié par diffraction des rayons X et par spectroscopie Raman sur monocristal. Les résultats ont été comparés à des simulations Monte Carlo sur le matériau. Les résultats ont montré que les molécules d'eau en contact avec la surface de la structure du pore unidimensionnel sont plus ordonnées vers 173 K, alors que l'eau du centre du pore est restée dans un état de type verre (liquide) à toutes les autres températures étudiées. L'amorphisation d'AlPO4-54•xH2O a été suivie par diffraction des rayons X et par spectroscopie Raman in-situ sous pression dans une CED en utilisant huile de silicone et l'eau comme milieux transmetteurs de pression. Des analyses ex-situ des échantillons de la forme amorphe d'AlPO4-54•xH2O ont été réalisées par résonance magnétique nucléaire et spectroscopie d'absorption de rayons x au synchrotron Soleil (ligne LUCIA). L'analyse de la structure locale a révélé qu'un changement de coordinence est responsable pour la déstabilisation de la structure : deux molécules d'eau ont été contraintes à entrer dans la sphère de coordination de l'Al tétraédrique, devenant ainsi un site octaédriqueThe aim of this study is to investigate pressure-induced amorphisation (PIA) in negative thermal expansion (NTE) aluminophosphates. The aluminophosphates AlPO4-17 and AlPO4-54 are of particular importance, the first exhibits the highest known degree of negative thermal expansion for an oxide and the second exhibits the largest pores known for zeolites with a diameter of 12 Å. These materials exhibit unusual behavior upon compression due to the softening of a large number of low frequency modes leading to pressure-induced amorphisation. The pressure-induced amorphisation in the exceptional NTE material AlPO4-17 was studied by in situ X-ray powder diffraction. AlPO4-17 shows anomalous behavior under pressure with elastic instability and negative value of B0'. Anomalous compressibility behavior may be observed in other materials that exhibit strong NTE, indicating a link between these two physical properties due by low-energy lattice vibrations. The pressure-induced phase transition of the AlPO4-54 to AlPO4-8 and the consequent amorphisation of the final structure, was studied by X-ray diffraction in situ at high pressures. The freezing of nanoconfined water in the AlPO4-54•xH2O was studied by Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction and Raman spectroscopy experiments and were compared to Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations. Results shows that, at the pore surface, the adsorbed layer of water molecules had a crystal-like orientational order, in contrast, a cylindrical core of glassy water in the pore center is present due to the frustration arising from the curvature. The effect of H2O on the (PIA) of AlPO4-54•xH2O was studied by in situ X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy under high pressures. Ex situ analysis were used to investigate the local structure of pressure-amorphized microporous AlPO4-54•xH2O by nuclear resonance magnetic and by X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the synchrotron Soleil (beamline LUCIA) which shows that, upon increasing the pressure, two water molecules enters in the coordination sphere of IVAl, changing the coordination from 4- to 6-fold, which destabilizes the structure

Full textAbstract:
The effect of thermal-cycling-induced microcracking in fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites is studied. Specific attention is focused on microcrack density as a function of the number of thermal cycles, and the effect of microcracking on the dimensional stability of composite materials. Changes in laminate coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and laminate stiffness are of primary concern. Included in the study are materials containing four different Thornel fiber types: a PAN-based T50 fiber and three pitch-based fibers, P55, P75, and P120. The fiber stiffnesses range from 55 Msi to 120 Msi. The fiber CTE's range from -0.50x10-6/°F to -0.80x10-6/°F. Also included are three matrix types: Fiberite's 934 epoxy, Amoco's ERL1962 toughened epoxy, and YLA's RS3 cyanate ester. The lamination sequences of the materials considered include a cross-ply configuration, [0/90]2s, and two quasi-isotropic configurations, [0/+45/-45/90]s and [0/+45/90/-45]s. The layer thickness of the materials range from a nominal 0.001 in. to 0.005 in. In addition to the variety of materials considered, three different thermal cycling temperature ranges are considered. These temperature ranges are ±250°F, ±150°F, and ±50°F. The combination of these material and geometric parameters and temperature ranges, combined with thermal cycling to thousands of cycles, makes this one of the most comprehensive studies of thermal-cycling-induced microcracking to date.
Experimental comparisons are presented by examining the effect of layer thickness, fiber type, matrix type, and thermal cycling temperature range on microcracking and its influence on the laminates. Results regarding layer thickness effects indicate that thin-layer laminates microcrack more severely than identical laminates with thick layers. For some specimens in this study, the number of microcracks in thin-layer specimens exceeds that in thick-layer specimens by more than a factor of two. Despite the higher number of microcracks in the thin-layer specimens, small changes in CTE after thousands of cycles indicate that the thin-layer specimens are relatively unaffected by the presence of these cracks compared to the thick-layer specimens. Results regarding fiber type indicate that the number of microcracks and the change in CTE after thousands of cycles in the specimens containing PAN-based fibers are less than in the specimens containing comparable stiffness pitch-based fibers. Results for specimens containing the different pitch-based fibers indicate that after thousands of cycles, the number of microcracks in the specimens does not depend on the modulus or CTE of the fiber. The change in laminate CTE does, however, depend highly on the stiffness and CTE of the fiber. Fibers with higher stiffness and more negative CTE exhibit the lowest change in laminate CTE as a result of thermal cycling. The overall CTE of these specimens is, however, more negative as a result of the more negative CTE of the fiber. Results regarding matrix type based on the ±250°F temperature range indicate that the RS3 cyanate ester resin system exhibits the greatest resistance to microcracking and the least change in CTE, particularly for cycles numbering 3000 and less. Extrapolations to higher numbers of cycles indicate, however, that the margin of increased performance is expected to decrease with additional thermal cycling. Results regarding thermal cycling temperature range depend on the matrix type considered and the layer thickness of the specimens. For the ERL1962 resin system, microcrack saturation is expected to occur in all specimens, regardless of the temperature range to which the specimens are exposed. By contrast, the RS3 resin system demonstrates a threshold effect such that cycled to less severe temperature ranges, microcracking does not occur. For the RS3 specimens with 0.005 in. layer thickness, no microcracking or changes in CTE are observed in specimens cycled between between ±150°F or ±50°F. For the RS3 specimens with 0.002 in. layer thickness, no microcracking or changes in CTE are observed in specimens cycled between ±50°F.. Results regarding laminate stiffness indicate negligible change in laminate stiffness due to thermal cycling for the materials and geometries considered in this investigation. The study includes X-ray examination of the specimens, showing that cracks observed at the edge of the specimens penetrate the entire width of the specimen. Glass transition temperatures of the specimens are measured, showing that resin chemistry is not altered as a result of thermal cycling.
Results are also presented based on a one-dimensional shear lag analysis developed in the literature. The analysis requires material property information that is difficult to obtain experimentally. Using limited data from the present investigation, material properties associated with the analysis are modified to obtain reasonable agreement with measured microcrack densities. Based on these derived material properties, the analysis generally overpredicts the change in laminate CTE. Predicted changes in laminate stiffness show reasonable correlation with experimentally measured values.

Full textAbstract:
Turbine components operate under severe loading conditions and at high and varying temperatures that result in thermal stresses in the presence of temperature gradients created by hot gases and cooling air. Moreover, static and cyclic loads as well as the motion of rotating components create mechanical stresses. The combined effect of complex thermo-mechanical stresses promote nucleation and propagation of cracks that give rise to fatigue and creep failure of the turbine components. Therefore, the relationship between thermo-mechanical stresses, chemical composition, heat treatment, resulting microstructure, operating temperature, material damage, and potential failure modes, i.e. fatigue and/or creep, needs to be well understood and studied. Artificial neural networks are promising candidate tools for such studies. They are fast, flexible, efficient, and accurate tools to model highly non-linear multi-dimensional relationships and reduce the need for experimental work and time-consuming regression analysis. Therefore, separate neural network models for γ’ precipitate strengthened Ni based superalloys have been developed for predicting the γ’ precipitate size, thermal expansion coefficient, fatigue life, and hysteresis energy. The accumulated fatigue damage is then estimated as the product of hysteresis energy and fatigue life. The models for γ’ precipitate size, thermal expansion coefficient, and hysteresis energy converge very well and match experimental data accurately. The fatigue life proved to be the most challenging aspect to predict, and fracture mechanics proved to potentially be a necessary supplement to neural networks. The model for fatigue life converges well, but relatively large errors are observed partly due to the generally large statistical variations inherent to fatigue life. The deformation mechanism map for 1.23Cr-1.2Mo-0.26V rotor steel has been constructed using dislocation glide, grain boundary sliding, and power law creep rate equations. The constructed map is verified with experimental data points and neural network results. Although the existing set of experimental data points for neural network modeling is limited, there is an excellent match with boundaries constructed using rate equations which validates the deformation mechanism map.

Full textAbstract:
The properties of composite materials in which spherical inclusions are embedded in a matrix of some kind, have been studied for many decades and many analytical models have been developed which measure these properties. There has been a steady progression in the complexity of models over the years, providing greater insight into the nature of these materials and improving the accuracy in the measurement of their properties. Some of the properties with which this thesis is concerned are, the elastic, thermal and electrical properties of such composites. The size of the spherical inclusion which acts as the reinforcing phase, has a major effect on the overall properties of composite materials. Once an inclusion is embedded into a matrix, a third region of different properties between the inclusion and matrix is known to develop which is called the interphase. It is well known in the composite community that the smaller the inclusion is, the larger the interphase region which develops around it. Therefore, with the introduction of nanoparticles as the preferred reinforcing phase for some composites, the interphase has a major effect on its properties. It is the aim of this thesis to consider the role of the interphase on the properties of composites by modeling it as an inhomogeneous region. There is much scientific evidence to support the fact that the interphase has an inhomogeneous nature and many papers throughout the thesis are cited which highlight this. By modeling the inhomogeneous properties by arbitrary mathematical functions, results are obtained for the various properties in terms of these general functions. Some specific profiles for the inhomogeneous region are considered for each property in order to demonstrate and test the models against some established results.

O presente trabalho, realizado junto ao Grupo de Novos Materiais e Dispositivos (GNMD), no Laboratório de Microeletrônica do Departamento de Sistemas Eletrônicos da Escola Politécnica da USP, visou determinar algumas das propriedades termo-mecânicas de materiais depositados pela técnica de plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) que são importantes para o desenvolvimento de sistemas microeletromecânicos (MEMS). O módulo de elasticidade, a tensão mecânica residual, o coeficiente de expansão térmica e a condutividade térmica de filmes finos de carbeto de silício amorfo hidrogenado (a-SiC:H) e de oxinitreto de silício (SiOxNy) foram estudados. Medidas de nanoindentação e ressonância de cantilevers foram utilizadas para a obtenção do módulo de elasticidade e os resultados obtidos foram similares (75 e 91 GPa) pelos dois métodos e compatíveis com valores encontrados na literatura. Além disso, obteve-se o módulo de elasticidade de filmes de cromo (285 GPa). A tensão mecânica residual dos filmes utilizados neste trabalho foi medida através da curvatura do substrato induzida pela deposição dos filmes e pela deformação de cantilevers. O valor médio da tensão mecânica, obtido pela curvatura do substrato, variou de -69 MPa até -1750 MPa, mostrando grande dependência das condições de deposição dos filmes. O método que utiliza a deformação de cantilevers possibilitou a obtenção do gradiente de tensão mecânica, que também mostrou uma dependência das condições de deposição, sendo sempre o a-SiC:H quase estequiométrico o menos tensionado. O coeficiente de expansão térmica foi medido utilizando a técnica do gradiente de temperatura e o valor obtido foi similar a valores reportados na literatura para o carbeto de silício cristalino. Para um a-SiC:H quase estequiométrico foi obtido um coeficiente de expansão térmica de 3,41 m/oC, enquanto para um a-SiC:H rico em carbono o valor foi de 4,36 m/oC. Também foi verificado que a variação da resistência do cromo em função da temperatura é pequena, não permitindo sua utilização como sensor de temperatura e inviabilizando a obtenção da condutividade térmica dos filmes estudados. Além disso, foram apresentados trabalhos promissores, mostrando o potencial dos materiais estudados para o desenvolvimento de MEMS. Nesses trabalhos, demonstrou-se a viabilidade de integrar microestruturas atuadas termicamente e guias de onda ópticos, utilizando os materiais estudados neste trabalho. Foram fabricados chaves ópticas, portas lógicas ópticas, fontes de luz integradas e acoplamento das fontes de luz com guias de onda.This work, realized at the New Materials and Devices Group (GNMD) at the Microelectronics Laboratory of the Department of Electronic Systems of the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo, focused at the determination of thermo-mechanical properties of materials deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) that are important for the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The Youngs modulus, the residual stress, the coefficient of thermal expansion and the thermal conductivity of amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) and silicon oxynitride (SiOxNy) thin films were studied. Nanoindentation and the resonance of cantilevers were used to obtain the Youngs modulus. The results were similar (75 and 91 GPa) with both methods and compatible with literature values. Further, the Youngs modulus of chromium films was also obtained (285 GPa). The residual stress of thin films was obtained through the substrate curvature induced by the film deposition and through the deformation of cantilever beams. The residual stress, obtained through the substrate curvature, varied between -69 MPa and -1750 MPa, showing great dependence on the deposition conditions of these materials. The deformation of cantilevers allowed the determination of the stress gradient and it was also affected by the deposition conditions. In all stress measurements the near stoichiometry a-SiC:H film was less stressed. The coefficient of thermal expansion was measured using the temperature gradient technique and the obtain values were similar to those reported in the literature for crystalline silicon carbide. For a near stoichiometry a-SiC:H film, a value of 3.41 m/oC was obtained, while a carbon rich film showed a thermal expansion coefficient of 4.36 m/oC. It was also verified that the variation of the chromium resistance as a function of temperature is small. This did not allow the utilization of chromium as a temperature sensor, which prevented the obtention of the thermal conductivity of the studied films. Also, some promising works were presented, showing potential applications of the studied materials for the development of MEMS. In these works, the viability of integration of thermal actuated microstructures and optical waveguides was demonstrated. In these works, optical switches, optical logic gates, integrated light sources and coupling of integrated light sources with optical waveguides were presented.

Full textAbstract:
Dans l'industrie microélectronique, l'augmentation constante de la densité de puissance due à la miniaturisation des composants électroniques nécessite un matériau de dissipation thermique ayant une conductivité thermique élevée (CT), un faible coefficient de dilatation thermique (CTE) et des propriétés mécaniques (PM) appropriées pour une dissipation efficace de la chaleur. Des métaux purs, tels que Al et Cu, ont déjà été utilisés. Cependant, ils ont des CT limitées (ex. 240 W/m.K pour Al) et leurs CTE sont trop élevés (ex. 23 10-6/K pour Al), ce qui est incompatible avec ceux des composants électroniques (ex. 4 10-6/K pour Si), conduisant à une défaillance en service due à la fatigue thermique. À cet égard, les composites à matrice métallique se sont révélés être un matériau prometteur. Les matériaux en carbone, comme le graphite, le diamant et la fibre de carbone, ayant été introduits comme renforts en raison de leurs excellentes propriétés thermiques (c'est-à-dire un CT très élevé et un faible CTE) dans une matrice Al. Dans ces travaux de thèse, des matériaux composites à matrice en Al renforcé par des plaquettes de graphite peu coûteuses et facilement usinables (ci-après appelé composite Al/Gf) ont été développés dans le but de maximiser le CT, d'adapter le CTE proche de 6 10-6/K, ainsi que d'améliorer les PM.La CT intrinsèque du Gf est hautement anisotrope, c'est-à-dire 1000 W/m.K dans le plan et 5-10 W/m.K hors du plan. Il est donc clair que la bonne orientation de Gf dans la matrice d'Al assure un CT élevée, dans la direction du plan du graphite, ainsi qu’à l’échelle du matériau produit dans cette même direction. Dans cette étude, un procédé de remplissage des poudres étape par étape, a été appliquée avec succès afin d’obtenir cet arrangement 1D conventionnel. Ainsi, les valeurs de CT théoriques prévues les plus élevées peuvent être atteintes expérimentalement. En outre, les matériaux composites 2D et 3D de Gf ont été élaborés à l'aide de pistons spécialement conçus afin d'adapter le CTE anisotrope des Gf (c'est-à-dire -1 10-6/K dans le plan et 28 10-6/K hors plan). La structure 2D permet de réduire la CTE, qui est alors compatible avec celui du matériau du substrat (voisin de 8 10-6/K), tout en maintenant une CT élevée. Enfin, les efforts ont été consacrés à renforcer la matrice Al en intégrant des nanoparticules dispersées (ex-situ) de SiC et (in-situ) de TiB2 pour améliorer les PM globales du composite Al/GfIn the microelectronic industry, the ever increase in power density due to miniaturization of electronic components requires heat sink materials with a high thermal conductivity (TC), a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and specific mechanical properties (MP). Pure metals, such as Al and Cu, have been previously used. However, they have limited TCs (e.g. 240 W/m.K for Al) and their CTEs are too high (e.g. 23 × 10-6/K for Al), being incompatible with those of electronic components (e.g. 4 × 10-6/K for Si), leading to failures in service due to thermal fatigue. Regarding this, metal matrix composites have been proven to be promising material where carbon materials, such as graphite, diamond, and carbon fibres, have been introduced as reinforcements because of their excellent thermal properties (i.e. very high TC and low CTE). In this Ph.D. project, Al matrix composites reinforced with low-cost and easily machinable graphite flakes (hereafter called Al/Gf composite) were developed with the aim to maximize TCs, tailor CTEs close to 6×10-6/K, as well as improve MPs.The intrinsic TCs of Gf are highly anisotropic, i.e. in-plane TC of 1000 W/m.K and out-of-plane TC of 5-10 W/m.K, respectively. It is thus clear that the strong orientation of Gf in the Al matrix ensures the high TCs, along the direction of graphite plane, in the as-produced composite. In this study, a new approach to combining flake powder metallurgy with a step-by-step powder filling process was successfully applied to achieve this conventional 1D arrangement. As such, the highest TC values theoretically predicted can be achieved experimentally. Further, the 2D and 3D arrangements of Gf were made using specifically designed punches in order to tailor the anisotropic CTEs of Gf (i.e. in-plane CTE of -1 × 10−6/K and out-of-plane CTE of 28 × 10−6/K), being unavailable in the 1D arrangement. The 2D arrangement allows to achieve the reduced CTEs being compatible with those of the substrate materials while maintaining a high TCs, demonstrating the strong potential for applications. Finally, the efforts were devoted to strengthen the Al matrix by integrating dispersed (ex-situ) SiC and (in-situ) TiB2 nanoparticles to improve the overall MPs of the Al/Gf composites

Full textAbstract:
Actuellement, la qualité de l’imagerie provenant de systèmes optiques spatiaux est limitée par la taille de leurs miroirs et la masse des structures supportant le miroir. Le développement de systèmes athermiques légers (un seul matériau) constitue le principal challenge dans l’amélioration de ces systèmes. De matériaux légers, résistants mécaniquement (E/ρ3 > 10, σf > 100 MPa) et stables thermiquement (< 2,0.e-6/K) doivent être développés. Dans ce cadre, notre travail porte sur l’élaboration de composites céramiques associant un matériau à coefficient de dilatation thermique (CTE) positif résistant mécaniquement (alumine ou zircone cériée) et un matériau à CTE très négatif (tungstate de zirconium ou β-eucryptite). L'étude du tungstate de zirconium a révélé plusieurs problèmes de décomposition et de réactions avec certaines matrices oxydes, menant à l’abandon de cet oxyde dans l’élaboration des composites. Dans le cas de la β-eucryptite, un phénomène de vermiculation a été mis en évidence, conduisant à la formation d’une porosité intragranulaire. L’optimisation des paramètres de frittage a permis de limiter cette porosité. L’étude du comportement thermique de la β-eucryptite confirme que son CTE très négatif provient principalement d’un phénomène de fissuration, généré par l’anisotropie de dilatation de sa maille cristalline. Cette fissuration est dépendante de la taille des grains mais également de la taille des agrégats de grains dans le cas des poudres. Ainsi, bien que le CTE intrinsèque de la β-eucryptite soit très faible (-0,4.e-6/K), son CTE extrinsèque peut atteindre des valeurs jusqu'à -10,9.e-6/K selon les conditions d’élaboration. Dans ce travail, deux stratégies d’élaboration de composites sont étudiées. Le premier cas consiste à diminuer le CTE des matrices oxydes à partir d’une poudre de β-eucryptite non microfissurée (-0,4.e-6/K) tandis que le second cas consiste à obtenir des matériaux à CTE très faible à partir d’une poudre de β-eucryptite microfissurée (-3,0.e-6/K). Lors de l’utilisation de la matrice en zircone cériée, le taux de dopage au cérium est optimisé afin de limiter la transformation de phase de la zircone. Cette transformation, induite par les contraintes de tension exercées par la β-eucryptite, affecte la linéarité du comportement thermique du composite. Dans les deux cas d’étude, les composites denses montrent une modification du CTE intrinsèque de la β-eucryptite passant de -0,4.e-6/K à plus de +3,2.e-6/K en raison des contraintes de compression appliquées par la matrice (alumine ou zircone cériée). La relaxation de ces contraintes nécessite une sous-densification des composites. A partir de ces observations, différents composites à CTE très faible sont élaborés. Toutefois, le sous-frittage des composites associé à la microfissuration de la β-eucryptite diminuent fortement les propriétés mécaniques des matériaux ainsi élaborésHigh resolution satellite imagery from space optical systems is mainly limited by the mirror size and the mass of structures supporting the mirror. Nowadays, the development of light athermal systems is the major challenge to improve these optical systems. So, light materials having good mechanical properties (E/ρ3 > 10, σf > 100 MPa) and thermal stability (< 2.0e-6/K) are required. Within this context, our project consists in processing new ceramic composites by combining positive thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) materials having good mechanical properties (alumina or ceria doped zirconia) and negative TEC materials (zirconium tungstate or β-eucryptite) The processing of zirconium tungstate-based materials showed several decomposition and chemical reactions with some oxide matrix leading to its giving up. In the case of β-eucryptite, vermicular phenomenon occurs during sintering leading to the formation of intragranular porosity. Sintering parameters optimization can limit this porosity. The study of the thermal behavior of pure β-eucryptite materials shows that the very negative TEC results from microcracking, generated by the TEC anisotropy of its crystal lattice. This microcracking depends on the grain size and the aggregate size in the case of powder materials. Despite the fact that the TEC of its lattice (called intrinsic TE C equals to -0.4e-6/K) is very low, its bulk (or extrinsic) TEC can reach values until -10.9e-6/K according to the processing conditions. In this work, two strategies for developing composites were studied. The first one consists in decreasing the matrix TEC using an uncracked β-eucryptite powder (-0.4e-6/K) while the second one consists in elaborating near zero TEC materials from a microcracked β-eucryptite powder (-3.0e-6/K). When ceria-doped zirconia is used, ceria content must be adjusted in order to limit zirconia phase transformation. This transformation is driven by tensile stresses induced by the β-eucryptite and modifies the composite thermal behavior linearity. In both studied cases, dense composites show a modification of the β-eucryptite intrinsic TEC from -0.4e-6/K to more than +3.2e-6/K as a consequence of compressive stresses applied by the oxide matrix. An uncompleted densification of composites is required to relax these stresses. Taking into account these observations, several very low TEC composites were elaborated.

Full textAbstract:
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in a flat-plate configuration require a hermetic seal between the fuel and air sides of the electrodes, and this seal must withstand a variety of thermally-induced stresses over the lifetime of the cell. In this study, quantitative microstructure-property relationships are developed to predict optimum seal structures for mechanical properties and thermal expansion coefficient criteria. These relationships are used to create an inverse approach to characterizing the processing method from the desired microstructure. The main focus of the work concentrates on providing tools to enable macroscopic property predictions from the constituent properties using homogenization techniques based on the individual phase properties and microstructure morphology. The microstructure is represented by two-point correlation functions. Statistical continuum mechanics models were then employed and developed to predict the mechanical and thermal properties of the material. The models enable the prediction of elastic modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion of the multi-phase material. The inelastic mechanical behavior was also studied, indicating microstructure dependence. These models will aid in predicting the a proper seal microstructure (with desired elastic stiffness, coefficient of thermal expansion, and viscoelastic behaviors) based on a desired level of crystallization glass-ceramic materials.

Full textAbstract:
Brittleness of a polymeric material has a direct relationship with the material's performance and furthermore shares an inverse relationship with that material's flexibility. The concept of flexibility of materials has been understood but merely explained with a hand-waving manner. Thus, it has never been defined by a calculation, thereby lacking the ability to determine a definite quantitative value for this characteristic. Herein, an equation is presented and proven which makes determining the value of flexibility possible. Such an equation could be used to predict a material's flexibility prior to testing it, thus saving money and valuable time for those in research and in industry. Substantiating evidence showing the relationship between flexibility of polymers and their respective mechanical properties is presented. Further relating the known tensile properties of a given polymer to its flexibility is expanded upon by proving its relationship to the linear coefficient of thermal expansion for each polymer. Additionally, determining flexibility for polymers whose chemical structures have been compromised by respective solvents has also been investigated to predict a solvent's impact on a polymer after exposure. Polymers examined through literature include polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), teflon (PTFE), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), poly(ethersulfone) (PES), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). Further testing and confirmation was made using PC, PS, ABS, LDPE, PP, and PMMA.

L'utilisation croissante de systèmes électroniques miniaturisés induit une forte demande en microsources d'énergie performantes, telles que les microbatteries au lithium. En vue d'améliorer les propriétés de l'électrolyte, nous avons étudié les propriétés électriques et thermomécaniques d'électrolytes solides de type borate de lithium. Une corrélation entre la conductivité ionique et le coefficient de dilatation thermique (CTE) a été mise en évidence pour différentes compositions de verres massifs. A partir des résultats de CTE obtenus, un modèle de prédiction basé sur les travaux de Appen permettant la détermination de ce dernier en fonction de la composition chimique a été développé. Dans un second temps, différentes techniques de préparation de cibles denses nitrurées ont été mises en œuvre afin d'abaisser le CTE de la cible et ainsi permettre son utilisation sur une plus longue durée. Par ailleurs, l'utilisation d'une cible nitrurée a également été envisagée pour augmenter la teneur en azote dans les couches minces. Finalement, des couches minces d'électrolyte de différentes compositions ont été préparées par pulvérisation cathodique (sous plasma d'argon ou d'azote pur) et ont fait l'objet d'une caractérisation chimique, structurale, électrique et thermomécanique. Le rôle bénéfique de l'azote sur la conductivité ionique des couches minces a ainsi pu être confirmé.

Dans le domaine de l'électronique de puissance, la gestion thermique de l'intégration des puces en silicium au sein du système global constitue un problème clé. La chaleur dissipée par les composants électriques est évacuée vers l’extérieur à travers un drain thermique, généralement en cuivre, qui est brasé sur le substrat céramique. Cette étude est consacrée à l'élaboration de drains thermiques adaptatifs en matériaux composites cuivre allié/fibres de carbone (FC) qui combinent une bonne conductivité thermique et un CTE proche de celui du substrat. Dans ce type de matériau, la liaison interfaciale renfort/matrice doit être forte afin d'optimiser le transfert des propriétés entre les deux composants. Le couple cuivre/carbone étant non réactif, un élément d’addition carburigène (Cr ou B) est ajouté à la matrice de cuivre afin de créer cette liaison chimique forte. Un matériau modèle a été réalisé par pulvérisation cathodique afin d’étudier la diffusion de l’élément d’addition au sein de la couche de cuivre vers la zone interfaciale et la formation d’un carbure métallique. Une méthode de chimie des solutions a ensuite été utilisée pour élaborer des poudres de cuivre allié de stœchiométrie donnée. Enfin, les matériaux composites (Cu-B/FC et Cu-Cr/FC) ont été élaborés par métallurgie des poudres et leurs propriétés thermiques et mécaniques corrélées à la microstructure et à la chimie des zones interfacialesIn the field of power electronics, thermal management of silicon chips plays a key role in our ability to increase their performance. Heat generated by the electronic components is dissipated through the heat sink, generally made of Copper that is brazed on to a ceramic substrate. This study focuses on the elaboration of adaptive heat sink material using Copper alloys/Carbon fibers (CF) composite materials which have a good thermal conductivity and a CTE close to the ceramic substrate. In this kind of material, it is necessary to have a strong matrix/reinforcement link in order to optimize transfer properties. Since there is no reaction between Copper and Carbon, a carbide element (Cr or B) is added to the Copper matrix to create this strong chemical bond. A model material has been elaborated by cathode sputtering in order to study the diffusion of the alloying element in the Copper layer and the metallic carbide formation in the interfacial zone. Copper alloy powders, with a given stoichiometry, have also been synthesized by a chemical method. Lastly, composite materials (Cu-B/CF and Cu-Cr/CF) have been elaborated by a powder metallurgy process and their thermal and mechanical properties correlated to the microstructure and the chemistry of the interfacial zones

This PhD thesis presents investigations of perovskite-related compounds in systems of interest for applications in components in solid oxide fuel cells. The compound compositions derive from substitutions in the parent compounds LaCoO3, LaCrO3 and SrFeO3. Novel phases La2Co1+z(MgxTi1-x)1-zO6 were synthesized and investigated with regard to structure, thermal expansion, electronic and magnetic properties. The study focused on the composition lines La2Co(MgxTi1-x)O6 (z=0), where the oxidation state of Co nominally changes from +2 (x=0.0) to +3 (x=0.5), and La2Co1+z(Mg0.5Ti0.5)1-zO6, with a varying fraction of Co3+ ions. XANES data show that the Co ions in the system have discrete oxidation states of +2 and +3. The TEC increases with increasing x due to an increasing contribution from spin state transitions of the Co3+ ions. Novel compounds La2Cr(M2/3Nb1/3)O6 with M=Mg, Ni, Cu were synthesized and characterized with respect to structure and magnetic properties. XRPD and NPD data indicate Pbnm symmetry; however, SAED patterns and HREM images indicate a P21/n symmetry for M=Mg, and Cu. The magnetic measurements results were rationalized using the Goodenough-Kanamori rules. Oxygen-deficient phases with x≥0.63 in SrxY1-xFeO3-δ and Sr0.75Y0.25Fe1-yMyO3-δ (M=Cr, Mn, Ni and y=0.2, 0.33, 0.5), were synthesized and characterized with respect to structure, oxygen content, thermogravimetry, TEC, conductivity and magnetic properties. Powder patterns of phases agree with cubic perovskite structures. NPD data for x=0.75 reveal anisotropic displacement for the O atom, related to local effects from Fe3+/Fe4+ ions. SAED patterns for x=0.75 reveal the presence of an incommensurate modulation. The compounds start to lose oxygen in air at ~ 400°C. The TEC up to ~400°C for x=0.75 is ~10.5 ppm/K and increase to ~17.5 ppm/K at higher temperatures. The conductivity for x=0.91 is 164 S/cm at 400°C. Partial substitution of Fe by Cr, Mn or Ni does not increase the conductivity or decrease TEC.

Full textAbstract:
Much study has been carried out to determine the properties of Lamellar Graphite Iron (LGI) or grey iron and their relations to factors such as the cooling rate, the dendrite morphology, the pouring temperature, and so on. However, there hasn’t been much comprehensive study on the properties of LGI outside the generally used and accepted composition, with 1 to 3% Silicon. The scope of this study is to measure and evaluate the thermal conductivity and tensile strength of LGI, for a higher concentration of Si and different carbon contents. The concentration of Si aimed for was 4% but the concentration obtained after spectroscopy was between 4.1% to 4.15%. There are two hypereutectic, one near-eutectic and three hypoeutectic samples considered and these six chemical compositions were cast under different cooling conditions . The cooling time has been varied by providing different molds of 30mm, 55mm, and 80mm diameter cylinders respectively, for all the six sample compositions. The microstructure analysis carried out studies the segregation of Si, the graphite morphology, primary austenite morphology. These factors are then compared to the thermal and tensile behavior measured in this study. It can be observed that the thermal conductivity studied in the present work has a direct correlation for a higher Si content and tends to be greater than the thermal conductivity values observed from other studies with lower content Of Si. However, the conductivity shows an inverse relation with the cooling rate and is maximum for the samples with the lowest cooling rate. The tensile strength, on the other hand, seems to have a lower value than that observed in previous studies for LGI with 1 to 3% Si, but shows a direct correlation with the cooling rate. The mean area fraction of dendrites obtained and the mean interdendritic hydraulic diameter is also measured and their influence on the properties are also studied. The addition of more Si has greatly favored the thermal behavior positively but has also reduced the tensile strength.

Full textAbstract:
Le développement d'une technique de mesure in situ des contraintes dans les couches minces a fait l'objet de ce travail ; la finalité étant d'obtenir de plus amples informations sur les caractéristiques mécaniques et thermiques du film, et le développement des contraintes internes lors de sa formation. La technique permet de différencier expérimentalement les contraintes thermique et intrinsèque, cette dernière étant représentative de l'évolution des contraintes dans les films. Une méthode optique a été choisie pour son adaptation à tous les procédés de dépôt sous vide. La technique, basée sur le principe de la poutre encastrée appelée encore cantilever, utilise la réflexion d'un faisceau laser sur le substrat pour suivre la variation de courbure de l'échantillon lorsque les contraintes se développent. La grande souplesse d'utilisation et la résolution adaptable suivant l'amplitude de la contrainte mesurée, sont obtenues à l'aide d'une détection vidéo et du traitement d'images. Le taux d'échantillonnage de 0,4 seconde permet d'effectuer une mesure toutes les 3 monocouches déposées. Cette technique a été validée dans le cas de films de chrome élaborés par pulvérisation cathodique magnétron. Le suivi en continu de la contrainte en fonction de l'épaisseur du film a mis en évidence que certains dépôts peuvent développer une phase en compression aux faibles épaisseurs même si ceux-ci possèdent une contrainte finale en tension. L'influence de la température de dépôt, de la puissance cathodique et de la pression d'argon sur l'évolution des contraintes a été étudiée. En définissant la contrainte instantanée comme la contrainte présente dans chaque monocouche qui se dépose, 3 types d'évolution de cette contrainte en fonction de l'épaisseur ont été associés à 3 microstructures de film particulières : aciculaire, colonnaire et dense. La technique permet également, en mesurant la contrainte thermique sur un certain domaine de température, de déterminer le coefficient de dilatation thermique du film ainsi que son module d'Young ; ce dernier dépend de la microstructure de la couche

Full textAbstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaEutectic (63% tin-37% lead) or near-eutectic (40% tin-60% lead) tin-lead solder is widely used for creating electrical interconnections between the printed wiring board (PWB) and the components mounted on the board surface. For components mounted directly on the PWB mounting pads, that is, surface mounted components, the tin-lead solder also constitutes the mechanical interconnection. Eutectic solder has a melting point of 183°C (361°F). It is important to realize that its homologous temperature, defined as the temperature in degrees Kelvin over its melting point temperature (T(m)), also in degrees Kelvin, is defined as T/T(m). At room temperature (25°C = 298K), eutectic solder's homologous temperature is 0.65. It is widely acknowledged that materials having a homologous temperature ≥ 0.5 are readily subject to creep, and the solder joints of printed wiring assemblies are routinely exposed to temperatures above room temperature. Hence, solder joints tend to be subject to both thermal fatigue and creep. This can lead to premature failures during service conditions. The geometry, that is, the lead configuration, of the joints can also affect failure. Various geometries are better suited to withstand failure than others. The purpose of this paper is to explore solder joint failures of dual in-line (DIP) integrated circuit components, leadless ceramic chip carriers (LCCCs), and gull wing and J-lead surface mount components mounted on PWBs.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing interest in an effciency enhancement of existing energy sources led to an extended research in the field of thermoelectrics. Especially skutterudites with their high power factor (electric conductivity times Seebeck coefficient squared) are suitable thermoelectric materials. However, a further improvement of their thermoelectric properties is necessary. The relatively high thermal conductivity can be decreased by introducing loosely bound guest ions, whereas atom substitution or nanostructuring (as thin films) could yield an increased power factor.
The present work proves the feasibility to deposit single phase skutterudite thin films by MBE technique. In this regard CoSby and FeSby film series were deposited with three different methods: i) codeposition at elevated temperatures, ii) codeposition at room temperature followed by post-annealing, and iii) modulated elemental reactant method. The structural and thermoelectric properties of these films were investigated by taking the thermal stability of the film and the substrate properties into account. Compared to the stoichiometric Sb content of skutterudites of 75 at.%, a small excess of Sb is necessary for achieving single phase skutterudite films. It was found, that the deposited single phase CoSb3 films reveal bipolar conduction (and therefore a low Seebeck coefficient), whereas FeSb3 films show p-type conduction and very promising power factors at room temperature.
The need of substrates with a low thermal conductivity and a suitable thermal expansion coefficient is also demonstrated. A high thermal conductivity influences the measurements of the Seebeck coefficient and the obtained values will be underestimated by thermal shortening of the film by the substrate. If the thermal expansion coefficient of film and substrate differ strongly from each other, crack formation at the film surface was observed.
Furthermore, the realization of controlled doping by substitution as well as the incorporation of guest ions was successfully shown. Hence, this work is a good starting point for designing skutterudite based thin film structures. Two successful examples for such structures are given: i) a thickness series, where a strong decrease of the resistivity was observed for films with a thickness lower than 10nm, and ii) a FexCo1-xSb3 gradient film, for which the gradient was maintained even at an annealing temperature of 400°C.

My main project is to setup a measuring system of CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion). We take some designations of dilatometer, redesign the every part of the cell, fabricating parts, testing and calibration repeatedly. The measuring theory was base on the capacitance value of a pair parallel plate. How to take plates parallel and make the sample attach to the capacitance plate and sample platform is the main subject of my project. The hardware of thermal expansion coefficient measuring system consist of capacitance bridge, mechanical pump, turbo pump, temperature controller, vacuum gauge and dewar flask cooling system. In the software, we use LabVIEW to get data and calculation myself.

Abstract Effects of the ceramic filler (Pb1-xCax)TiO3 on the properties of thePbO-B2O3 based sealing glass were investigated. The flowability,crystallization,microstructure,and coefficient of thermalexpansion(CTE) of the (filler + glass) composite will be discussed. The experimental results indicate that the raw materials and processing ofthe PbO-B2O3 glass play an important role on the resulting properties of the(glass + filler) composites. Pb3O4-containing PbO was used as the raw materialfor the lead oxide.This suppressed the problem of lead reduction during glassmelting and resulted in an excellent flowability of the resulting glass. Increase of Ca content in the (Pb1-xCax) TiO3 filler decreases the Curietemperature and CTE. The (glass + filler) sealing glasses with the optimum properties(CTE andflowability) contain 20-30vol% of the (Pb0.75Ca0.25)TiO3 perovskite filler,which exhibits an initial particle size of about 10-15 um.
