Download or read book Structural Performance of Cylindrical Pressure Housings of Different Ceramic Compositions Under External Pressure Loading Part 2 Zirconia Toughened Alumina Ceramic written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten 12-inch-outside diameter (OD) by 18-inch-long by 0.412-inch-thick monocoque cylinders fabricated by WESGO, Inc. from zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramic were assembled into external pressure housings and experimentally evaluated under short-term, and cyclic-pressure loadings. This study was undertaken as part of a program to promote the application of ceramics to large external pressure housings for underwater vehicles. Pressure testing was performed to generate structural performance data that could be used to establish design criteria for external pressure housings constructed using ZTA ceramic as the primary hull material. Design curves for ZTA ceramic housings are presented that relate the maximum number of operational dive cycles to the maximum allowable stresses in the ceramic housing during each dive cycle. ZTA ceramic was found to be a reliable structural material for fabrication of cylindrical external pressure housings with a minimum fatigue life of 1,000 cycles at nominal design stresses of -190,000 psi in the hoop direction. ZTA was also evaluated by comparing its structural performance to that of alumina ceramic for use as the primary structural material for deep submergence external pressure housings.

Stachiw and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scale model ceramic pressure housing assemblies have been designed, fabricated, and pressure-cycled 2,000 times to the 9,000-psi external design pressure without failure. The Model 1 cylinder, fabricated from 99.5-percent alumina ceramic, is 9 inches long and has an inside diameter of 5.624 inches and an outside diameter of 6.00 inches. The Model 2 cylinder, fabricated from 94-percent alumina ceramic, is the same as Model 1 in length and inside diameter, but its outside diameter is 6.037 inches. Each housing assembly was either a single cylinder or two cylinders of the same model joined together. The single cylinder housing assembly consisted of a cylinder and two titanium spherical end closures with a 5.624-inch inside diameter and a 0.136-inch thickness, that provided radial support for the ends of the cylinder. The two-cylinder assemblies were radially supported and joined together by a titanium T-ring in the center, and by titanium spherical end closures at either end od the lengthened cylinder. Fretting of the bearing surfaces on the ends of ceramic cylinders was eliminated by fitting the ends of the cylinders with U-shaped titanium rings held in place by epoxy adhesive. The weight-to-displacement ratio of the pressure housing assembly was 0.57.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several ceramic parts have already proven their suitability for serial application in automobile engines in very impressive ways, especially in Japan, the USA and in Germany. However, there is still a lack of economical quality assurance concepts. Recently, a new generation of ceramic components, for the use in energy, transportation and environment systems, has been developed. The efforts are more and more system oriented in this field. The only possibility to manage this complex issue in the future will be interdisciplinary cooperation. Chemists, physicists, material scientists, process engineers, mechanical engineers and engine manufacturers will have to cooperate in a more intensive way than ever before. The R&D activities are still concentrating on gas turbines and reciprocating engines, but also on brakes, bearings, fuel cells, batteries, filters, membranes, sensors and actuators as well as on shaping and cutting tools for low expense machining of ceramic components. This book summarizes the scientific papers of the 7th International Symposium "Ceramic Materials and Components for Engines". Some of the most fascinating new applications of ceramic meterials in energy, transportation and environment systems are presented. The proceedings shall lead to new ideas for interdisciplinary activities in the future.

Book excerpt: Provides a thorough explanation of the basic properties of materials; of how these can be controlled by processing; of how materials are formed, joined and finished; and of the chain of reasoning that leads to a successful choice of material for a particular application. The materials covered are grouped into four classes: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Each class is studied in turn, identifying the families of materials in the class, the microstructural features, the processes or treatments used to obtain a particular structure and their design applications. The text is supplemented by practical case studies and example problems with answers, and a valuable programmed learning course on phase diagrams.

Download or read book Ceramic Materials written by Philippe Boch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-05 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is primarily an introduction to the vast family of ceramic materials. The first part is devoted to the basics of ceramics and processes: raw materials, powders synthesis, shaping and sintering. It discusses traditional ceramics as well as “technical” ceramics – both oxide and non-oxide – which have multiple developments. The second part focuses on properties and applications, and discusses both structural and functional ceramics, including bioceramics. The fields of abrasion, cutting and tribology illustrate the importance of mechanical properties. It also deals with the questions/answers of a ceramicist regarding electronuclear technology. As chemistry is an essential discipline for ceramicists, the book shows, in particular, what soft chemistry can contribute as a result of sol-gel methods.
Download or read book Interface Science and Composites written by Soo-Jin Park and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of Interface Science and Composites is to facilitate the manufacture of technological materials with optimized properties on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the molecular structure of interfaces and their resulting influence on composite materials processes. From the early development of composites of various natures, the optimization of the interface has been of major importance. While there are many reference books available on composites, few deal specifically with the science and mechanics of the interface of materials and composites. Further, many recent advances in composite interfaces are scattered across the literature and are here assembled in a readily accessible form, bringing together recent developments in the field, both from the materials science and mechanics perspective, in a single convenient volume. The central theme of the book is tailoring the interface science of composites to optimize the basic physical principles rather than on the use of materials and the mechanical performance and structural integrity of composites with enhanced strength/stiffness and fracture toughness (or specific fracture resistance). It also deals mainly with interfaces in advanced composites made from high-performance fibers, such as glass, carbon, aramid, and some inorganic fibers, and matrix materials encompassing polymers, carbon, metals/alloys, and ceramics. Includes chapter on the development of a nanolevel dispersion of graphene particles in a polymer matrix Focus on tailoring the interface science of composites to optimize the basic physical principles Covers mainly interfaces in advanced composites made from high performance fibers
