Book Processing Structure Property Relations In Phase Separated Calcium Aluminosilicate Glasses

Download or read book Processing Structure Property Relations In Phase Separated Calcium Aluminosilicate Glasses written by Nicholas Lamar Clark and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanoscale phase separation is currently being investigated as a method control the mechanical properties of glasses without compromising its transparency. For this approach to be successful, comprehensive relationships between processing and microstructure, and microstructure and hardness will be needed. The first stage of this dissertation examines the evolution of the microstructure of phase separated CAS glasses in response to thermal treatment. The microstructures are analyzed via image analysis of FESEM micrographs, and the results were used to characterize the droplet coarsening mechanisms. This information was then used to synthesize glasses with specific microstructure characteristics. Vickers indentation was used to measure the indentation hardness. The microstructure within the indents were then image and analyzed to study and characterize the mechanisms of microstructure yielding. Variations in glass hardness due to phase separation were found to arise from a combination of the yielding mechanisms and phase compositions of the microstructure. Finally, a simple model was developed which allowed for transitions between microstructure yielding mechanisms to be predicted from the initial microstructure as a function of load.

Book Decoding the Relationship Between Composition and Various Properties of Calcium Silicate and Calcium Aluminosilicate Glasses

Download or read book Decoding the Relationship Between Composition and Various Properties of Calcium Silicate and Calcium Aluminosilicate Glasses written by Yushu Hu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contributes to decode the relationship between glass composition and various properties that are crucial to novel glass design by performing molecular dynamics simulations. The topics include the prediction of glass transition temperature, the origin of glass-forming ability, and the impact of cooling rate on glass relaxation. In general, the first two properties are analyzed by utilizing topological constraint theory. By combining molecular dynamics simulations and topological constraint theory, a fully analytical model is developed to predict the fictive glass transition temperature of (CaO)x(SiO2)1-x glass system. To be specific, this model takes composition as input and provides the prediction of glass transition temperature as output. On the other hand, glass-forming ability is an important factor that guides the manufacturing process while sometimes imposes limitations to glass engineering. Despite many empirical successes to identify and characterize glass-forming ability in various glass systems, there exists a lack of knowledge of physical details in the glass structure. Here, we conduct molecular dynamics simulations of a series of calcium silicate glasses. We show that the flexible-to-rigid topological transition coincides with the compositional window that has optimal glass-forming ability. By explaining this transition from the aspect of internal flexibility and internal stress within the network, we aim to provide an alternative topological explanation for the nature of glass-forming ability. Chapter 3 is a reprint of a previously published journal article. It demonstrates the impact of cooling rate on glass transition by analyzing glass relaxation and hysteresis of a series of silicate glasses. It proves that by extrapolating simulation data, one can access the results that are close to those generated from experimental cooling rates.

Book Introduction to Glass Science and Technology

Download or read book Introduction to Glass Science and Technology written by James E Shelby and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise and inexpensive introduction for an undergraduate course in glass science and technology. The level of the book has deliberately been maintained at the introductory level to avoid confusion of the student by inclusion of more advanced material, and is unique in that its text is limited to the amount suitable for a one term course for students in materials science, ceramics or inorganic chemistry. The contents cover the fundamental topics of importance in glass science and technology, including glass formation, crystallization, phase separation and structure of glasses. Additional chapters discuss the most important properties of glasses, including discussion of physical, optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. A final chapter provides an introduction to a number of methods used to form technical glasses, including glass sheet, bottles, insulation fibre, optical fibres and other common commercial products. In addition, the book contains discussion of the effects of phase separation and crystallization on the properties of glasses, which is neglected in other texts. Although intended primarily as a textbook, Introduction to Glass Science and Technology will also be invaluable to the engineer or scientist who desires more knowledge regarding the formation, properties and production of glass.

Book Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Disordered Materials

Download or read book Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Disordered Materials written by Carlo Massobrio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a unique reference work in the area of atomic-scale simulation of glasses. For the first time, a highly selected panel of about 20 researchers provides, in a single book, their views, methodologies and applications on the use of molecular dynamics as a tool to describe glassy materials. The book covers a wide range of systems covering "traditional" network glasses, such as chalcogenides and oxides, as well as glasses for applications in the area of phase change materials. The novelty of this work is the interplay between molecular dynamics methods (both at the classical and first-principles level) and the structure of materials for which, quite often, direct experimental structural information is rather scarce or absent. The book features specific examples of how quite subtle features of the structure of glasses can be unraveled by relying on the predictive power of molecular dynamics, used in connection with a realistic description of forces.

Book Environmental Barrier Coatings

Download or read book Environmental Barrier Coatings written by Kang N. Lee and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global increase in air travel will require commercial vehicles to be more efficient than ever before. Advanced engine hot section materials are a key technology required to keep fuel consumption and emission to a minimum in next-generation gas turbines. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are the most promising material to revolutionize gas turbine hot section materials technology because of their excellent high‐temperature properties. Rapid surface recession due to volatilization by water vapor is the Achilles heel of CMCs. Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) is an enabling technology for CMCs, since it protects CMCs from water vapor. The first CMC component entered into service in 2016 in a commercial engine, and more CMC components are scheduled to follow within the next few years. One of the most difficult challenges to CMC components is EBC durability, because failure of EBC leads to a rapid reduction in CMC component life. Key contributors to EBC failure include recession, oxidation, degradation by calcium‐aluminum‐magnesium silicates (CMAS) deposits, thermal and thermo‐mechanical strains, particle erosion, and foreign object damage (FOD). Novel EBC chemistries, creative EBC designs, and robust processes are required to meet EBC durability challenges. Engine-relevant testing, characterization, and lifing methods need to be developed to improve EBC reliability. The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in EBC technology to address these issues. In particular, topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: • Novel EBC chemistries and designs; • Processing including plasma spray, suspension plasma spray, solution precursor plasma spray, slurry process, PS-PVD, EB-PVD, and CVD; • Testing, characterization, and modeling; • Lifing.

Book Structure and Properties of Silicate Melts

Download or read book Structure and Properties of Silicate Melts written by Bjorn O. Mysen and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1988 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterization of the relationships between structure and properties of materials is based on the fundamental principle that the structure of the material be determined first, followed by assessments of which structural properties may govern their properties as a function of composition, pressure, temperature and other variables. Whereas this methodology has been successfully applied to further our understanding of crystalline materials, studies of silicate melt structure are often conducted on a somewhat different basis. Rather than from direct structural determination, structure models have been developed from assumed relationships between a specific melt property and its structure. As a result, a multitude of models has evolved - many of which are mutually exclusive. The overall scope of this book is to address properties and processes of magmatic systems from the vantage point of melt structure. To this end available data in chemically increasingly complex systems are reviewed and discussed with the ultimate goal being integration of the simple system data into a model that describes complex systems such as natural magmatic liquids. Thus the book evolves from the simplest possible system, SiO 2 , to complex systems such as natural magmatic liquids. From a petrologic point of view, sufficient data have been obtained so that a general framework of the structure of magmatic liquids is in place. This framework is based on the same principles as those of crystal chemistry, modulated by the absence of long range order in amorphous material, and systematic relationships between structure and properties can be discerned at least at atmospheric pressure.
