ISBN: 0803114915
Category : Polymeric composites
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Aerospace and naval applications of polymers in conditions once thought too harsh for them, take center stage in the survey of how polymer composites react to environmental conditions. A dozen papers from a symposium in San Diego, October 1991, describe damage mechanisms and failure, materials behavior under combined effects, and constitutive models, sometimes considering polymers as a whole, but more often specific groups or composites. No index. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Environmental Degradation of Industrial Composites
Author: Celine A MahieuxPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 9780080531052
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Thanks to their low density and tailored properties, polymer matrix composites are attractive candidates for a large number of industrial applications ranging from aerospace to transportation and energy. However, the behaviour of polymer-based materials is strongly affected by a number of environmental factors. Environmental Degradation in Industrial Composites provides vital information on the effects of environmental factors such as temperature, liquid and gas exposure, electrical fields and radiations, and how micro- and micromechanical calculations during design and manufacture must take these effects into account. The book concludes with reviews on standard and specific testing methods for the various environmental factors and their combinations, helping mechanical/materials engineers and specifiers to predict possible changes due to environmental conditions. Each chapter is supplemented by industrial case studies to help in the understanding of degradation of composites in real life situations. This book will help you to... * Understand how environmental factors lead to degradation effects in polymer matrix composite structures * Build these factors into calculations when predicting the part performance and lifetime of structures * Compare real-life situations from case studies with your predicted results * Predict probable composite behaviour with greater accuracy This book will help you to... * Understand how environmental factors lead to degradation effects in polymer matrix composite structures * Build these factors into calculations when predicting the part performance and lifetime of structures * Compare real-life situations from case studies with your predicted results * Predict probable composite behaviour with greater accuracy
Going to Extremes

Book Description
Advanced polymer matrix composites (PMC) have many advantages such as light weight and high specific strength that make them useful for many aerospace applications. Enormous uncertainty exists, however, in predicting long-term changes in properties of PMCs under extreme environmental conditions, which has limited their use. To help address this issue, the Department of Defense requested a study from the NRC to identify the barriers and limitations to the use of PMCs in extreme environments. The study was to focus on issues surrounding methodologies for predicting long-term performance. This report provides a review of the challenges facing application of PMCs in extreme environments, the current understanding of PMC properties and behavior, an analysis of the importance of data in developing effective models, and recommendations for improving long-term predictive methodologies.

Book Description
A variety of environmental factors can influence the performance of advanced polymers and composites. In particular, exposure to a combination of moisture and elevated temperature can significantly alter properties. The extent of chemical and physical changes is a function of exposure time and the temperature and humidity of the environment. This work discusses the effects of chemical and physical aging of AFR700B, a high-temperature addition polyimide resin. Neat resin samples were isothermally aged for 500 and 1000 hours at 250 deg C in dry air, humid air, and dry nitrogen. Changes in the dynamic mechanical properties and weight of the resin samples after these different exposures are discussed. An accelerated aging process was developed to facilitate the study of hydrolytic degradation. The effect of degradation on the Tg, weight, and mechanical behavior is discussed. The use of a silicon-nitride moisture barrier proved ineffective.

Time Dependent and Nonlinear Effects in Polymers and Composites
Author: Richard Allan SchaperyPublisher: ASTM International
ISBN: 0803126018
Category : Composite materials
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
Annotation Improved reliability in commercial and military applications requires improved understanding of and predictive models for the time- dependent and nonlinear mechanical behavior of polymeric composites. The May 1998 American Society for Testing and Materials symposium sought to fuse the efforts in this direction of specialists in polymers and composites; these 18 papers are therefore grouped under the subheadings of polymers and composites. Primary polymer topics are chemical and physical aging, nonlinear viscoelasticity, and viscoplasticity. Composites' issues include: the effect of physical aging on time-dependent behavior, multiaxial nonlinear effects, compressive behavior, nonlinear viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity, failure mechanisms, hygrothermal effects, durability, and accelerated strength testing. Schapery is affiliated with the U. of Texas at Austin, and Sun is at Purdue U. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
