    Size effect on the fiber strength of composite pressure vessels

    No full text
    In this study, experimental tests and an analytical approach are conducted to verify the size effect on the fiber strength of a composite pressure vessel. As an analytical method, the Weibull weakest link model and the sequential multi-step failure model are considered and mutually compared. In the case of carbon fiber tensile strength, there is no large difference between the analytical methods for the volumetric size effect. To verify the validity of the analytical approach, experimental tests were performed using fiber strand specimens, unidirectional laminate specimens and composite pressure vessels. Good agreement for fiber strength distribution was shown between the test data and predicted results. The volumetric size effect shows the clearly observed tendency towards fiber strength degradation with increasing stressed volume. Because the volumetric size effect depends on material and processing factors, the reduction of fiber strength due to the stressed volume shows different values according to the variation of material and processing conditions

    The signal characteristics of reflected spectra of fiber Bragg grating sensors with strain gradients and grating lengths

    Among the numerous types of fiber optic sensors, FBG sensors are currently the most actively studied sensors due to their good multiplexing capabilities. The demodulation method of FBG sensors is based on detecting the wavelength shift of their sensor peaks. Properties such as strain, temperature, etc. can be measured simply by detecting them. However, the signal stability of FBG sensors can be influenced by strain gradients induced by structural geometry or cracks on the surface when FBG sensors are embedded into or attached on the structure. In this study, the signal characteristics of reflected spectra of FBG sensors were verified under strain gradients and the correlation between the grating length of FBG sensors and strain gradients were investigated quantitatively. From the experimental results, the optimum working range of the FBG sensors, where FBG sensors could be used without split of the sensor peak, was shown when they were under strain gradients

    Ethylene-bridged pseudo-C-s symmetric ansa-zirconocene complexes: synthesis, structures and propylene polymerization behavior

    No full text
    The ethylene-bridged pseudo-C-s symmetric ansa-zirconocene complexes, (1-fluorenyl-2-cyclopentadienylethane)zirconium dichloride (5b), were synthesized and their molecular structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The complex 5a is very active toward propylene polymerization in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO), affording polypropylene with good syndiotacticity. In comparison with the known syndiotactic polypropylene catalytic system iPr(fluorenyl)(cyclopentadienyl)ZrCl2/MAO 5a/MAO system is better in thermal stability, higher in activity and lower in syndiotacticity under the identical polymerization conditions. On the other hand, 5b/MAO system shows low activity and produces nearly atactic polypropylene with low molecular weight, which could be attributed to the increased electron density and steric bulkiness around the metal center.
