Book Comportement en fluage de composites    renfort carbone et matrices   poxyde et peek

Download or read book Comportement en fluage de composites renfort carbone et matrices poxyde et peek written by Tania Risson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les excellentes propriétés mécaniques spécifiques (rapport performance / poids) des matériaux composites à fibres longues de carbone renforçant une matrice polymérique (CFRP) ont conduit depuis une vingtaine d'années à leur utilisation dans nombre d'applications de haute technologie. Néanmoins, les coûts de matière et de mise fin œuvre, leur faible résistance aux dommages et la méconnaissance de leur comportement à long terme sont les principales limitations à une diffusion encore plus importante. Plus particulièrement, dans le cas de pièces soumises à des conditions sévères de sollicitation (charges importantes et températures élevées), l'étude du comportement en fluage devient essentielle pour une conception optimale. L'enjeu scientifique se situe donc au niveau du développement de méthodes de caractérisation accélérée et de modélisation permettant une extrapolation fiable des résultats expérimentaux aux conditions réelles d'utilisation. Une bonne compréhension des mécanismes de dégradations intervenant sous sollicitation thermomécanique s'avère par conséquent nécessaire. Deux classes de composites sont considérées, l'une à matrice thermodurcissable (RTM), l'autre à matrice thermoplastique (APC-2). La première étape consiste à définir un domaine d'expérimentation pour les essais de fluage (en termes de température et de contrainte appliquée). Les différents aspects du comportement en fluage intervenant sous diverses conditions de sollicitations thermomécaniques sont ensuite analysés. Ces résultats sont complétés par une étude de l'évolution structurale des matériaux en cours d'essai. Pour la caractérisation de l'endommagement, deux types de méthodes sont employés : les techniques d'émission acoustique et de mesures de propriétés électriques sont utilisées pour le suivi de l'Initiation et de la propagation de dégradations en cours d'essai mécanique; une analyse par spectrométrie mécanique est réalisée afin de caractériser "l'état d'endommagement" des matériaux suite à l'application d'une sollicitation thermomécanique. L'ensemble des informations ainsi collectées permet l'élaboration d'une carte d'endommagement. La prévision du comportement à long terme peut finalement être abordée : une approche basée sur le principe de superposition Temps-Température-Contrainte est adoptée et complétée par une analyse plus physique inspirée du modèle microstructurai de PEREZ.

Book Structural Health Monitoring

Download or read book Structural Health Monitoring written by Daniel Balageas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is organized around the various sensing techniques used to achieve structural health monitoring. Its main focus is on sensors, signal and data reduction methods and inverse techniques, which enable the identification of the physical parameters, affected by the presence of the damage, on which a diagnostic is established. Structural Health Monitoring is not oriented by the type of applications or linked to special classes of problems, but rather presents broader families of techniques: vibration and modal analysis; optical fibre sensing; acousto-ultrasonics, using piezoelectric transducers; and electric and electromagnetic techniques. Each chapter has been written by specialists in the subject area who possess a broad range of practical experience. The book will be accessible to students and those new to the field, but the exhaustive overview of present research and development, as well as the numerous references provided, also make it required reading for experienced researchers and engineers.

Book Comportement m  canique    long terme et en temp  rature d un composite inject      matrice PEEK renforc   de fibres de carbone courtes

Download or read book Comportement m canique long terme et en temp rature d un composite inject matrice PEEK renforc de fibres de carbone courtes written by Sylvain Corveleyn and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les composites thermoplastiques hautes performances ont suscité l'intérêt de l'industrie aéronautique pour remplacer l'aluminium dans certaines pièces. Ils permettent la production de pièces moins lourdes et moins coûteuses. Parmi ces matériaux, le PEEK renforcé par des fibres de carbone courtes semble intéressant pour des applications nécessitant de hautes propriétés thermomécaniques. Ce matériau a déjà fait l'objet de travaux au Laboratoire ICA de l'IMT Mines Albi, dans le cadre de la thèse de Jérémy Crevel ainsi que les projets régionaux Midi-Pyrénées CINTHTE, CINTHTE2 et FUI INMAT2. En outre, des applications industrielles sont en cours de développement chez Liebherr Aerospace. Cependant, le comportement à long terme en température de ce matériau est mal connu. L'objectif de cette thèse est de déterminer la plage d'utilisation du matériau en fonction du temps, de la température et du chargement. Deux phénomènes intervenant à hautes températures et à long terme sont étudiés : le vieillissement et le fluage. L'étude du vieillissement sous air s'est concentrée sur l'évolution des propriétés mécaniques en traction après une longue exposition à haute température. L'influence du vieillissement sur les propriétés mécaniques usuelles (module, contrainte à rupture et allongement à rupture) ainsi que sur l'endommagement et la plasticité a été mesurée en dessous et au-dessus de la température de transition vitreuse et pour différentes orientations de fibres. L'évolution de la structure du matériau avec le vieillissement a été suivie pour faire le lien avec les propriétés mécaniques. L'étude du fluage s'est faite à des contraintes inférieures au seuil d'endommagement du matériau. Des essais à court terme et dynamiques fréquentiels ont été réalisés pour définir un modèle de comportement dépendant du temps et l'identifier sur le long terme. Ils ont en outre permis de prendre en compte la température, le vieillissement et l'anisotropie du matériau pour des durées longues. Ces deux études (vieillissement et fluage) ont été unifiées dans un critère de rupture pour prévoir le temps à rupture du matériau. Enfin, un modèle viscoélastique isotrope transverse et des indicateurs de rupture en fluage ont été implémentés dans Abaqus pour réaliser des calculs sur des pièces industrielles.

EN OUTRE L'ENDOMMAGEMENT OBSERVE DES ECHANTILLONS A FIBRES LONGITUDINALES SE TRADUIT PAR DES FISSURES LONGITUDINALES SUIVANT LA DIRECTION DES FIBRES ALORS QUE LES TRANSVERSES SE ROMPENT EN TRACTION TRANSVERSE. ENFIN, LES COURBES MAITRESSES OBTENUES ET LA COURBE D'EVOLUTION DU FACTEUR DE GLISSEMENT EN FONCTION DE LA CONCENTRATION EN EAU PERMETTENT RAISONNABLEMENT DE PREVOIR LE COMPORTEMENT DU MATERIAU DANS UN LARGE DOMAINE TEMPS-CONCENTRATION EN EAU

Book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals

Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.
