  • Author : Gary M. Gladysz
  • Publisher : Newnes
  • Release : 2014-09-09
  • ISBN : 0444563741
  • Pages : 215 pages

Download or read book Voids in Materials written by Gary M. Gladysz and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voids in Materials treats voids of different shapes and forms in various materials, and examines their effects on material properties. The book covers the origins of voids in materials, how they are sometimes introduced in the form of hollow spheres, and the resultant properties of materials containing voids. There are many books that focus on foams (which intentionally incorporate voids into materials) and that cover voids incidental to or unwanted in the fabrication of non-porous materials. In fact, all materials have voids. This book starts from the premise that voids are pervasive in all material on some level. It goes beyond foams to provide a comprehensive overview of voids, a central reference for scientists and engineers to use for the effect of voids in materials. Includes 3D renderings of void geometries Explains how and why voids are introduced into materials across the length scales; from nanometer-scale voids up to macro-scale voids Provides a continuous picture of how material properties change as the volume fraction of voids increases, and the implications for product design

This book was released on 2008-12-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid cellular materials (foams, lattice materials, honeycombs, etc.) are attractive and have resulted in the creation of an active subject for structural, mechanical and material scientists in recent years. Indeed, constant progress in the manufacturing techniques are improving their properties and reducing their costs; and mass productions and industrial applications are beginning. An important mechanical problem is how to characterize and model the mechanical behaviour of these materials, which is necessary for industrial design and numerical predictions involved in various applications such as light weight structures, energy absorbers. This volume contains twenty-two contributions written by distinguished invited speakers from all part of the world to the iutam symposium on mechanical properties of cellular materials. It provides a survey on recent advances in the characterisation and modeling of the mechanical properties of solid cellular materials under static and dynamic loading as well as their applications in lightweight structures analysis and design. This volume will be of interest to structural, mechanical and material scientists and engineers working on different aspects of this new class of materials (for example in microstructure observation, micromechanical and multiscale modeling, phenomenological models, structural impact behaviour and numerical validation).

Book Porous Metals with Directional Pores

Download or read book Porous Metals with Directional Pores written by Hideo Nakajima and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the recent development of fabrication methods and various properties of lotus-type porous metals and their applications. The nucleation and growth mechanism of the directional pores in metals are discussed in comparison with a model experiment of carbon dioxide pores in ice. Three casting techniques are introduced to produce not only metals and alloys but also intermetallic compounds, semiconductors, and ceramics: mold casting, continuous zone melting, and continuous casting. The latter has merits for mass production of lotus metals to control porosity, pore size and pore direction. Furthermore, anisotropic behavior of elastic, mechanical properties, thermal and electrical conductivity, magnetic properties, and biocompatibility are introduced as peculiar features of lotus metals.

Book Orthotropic Mechanical Properties of Uncoated and Ceramic Coated Uniaxially Compressed Carbon Cellular Porous Materials

Download or read book Orthotropic Mechanical Properties of Uncoated and Ceramic Coated Uniaxially Compressed Carbon Cellular Porous Materials written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Porous cellular foams of moderate to high porosity (55%-95%) were investigated to determine orthotropic strength moduli and mechanical response. Uncoated porous samples consisted of reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) rigidized by pyrolysis of flexible, open-pore organic precursor foams. The organic precursor's reference surface pore density was 100 pores-per-inch (ppi) before uniaxial compression. After compression, substrates contained 6% to 33% solid fraction, which corresponded in the thru-thickness direction to 200 ppi to 1100 ppi, respectively. Ceramic-overlaid samples were constructed by depositing silicon carbide (SiC) via chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) onto 600 ppi and 1000 ppi RVC substrates. The ceramic overlays added solid fractions of 5% and 12%, respectively. Compressive and tensile strengths were measured in-plane and thru-thickness for all materials. Results showed compressive crush strengths of the multi-layer porous materials to be bounded between theoretical strengths of solid RVC substrate and SiC-coated materials. Predictions from currently accepted cell anisotropy relations were compared to experiment and are shown to greatly over-predict the orthotropy due to uniaxial compression. The data may be applied to allow more precise design of components using ceramic-coated porous cellular materials.
