  • Very high-cycle fatigue properties of 90 degrees unidirectional CFRP laminates and evaluation of fatigue limits by free volume measurement using positron microscopy

    Masafumi Tazuke, Tsuyoshi Miyakoshi, Atsushi Hosoi, Koji Michishio, Nagayasu Oshima, Hiroyuki Kawada

    MECHANICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL    2023.05

     View Summary

    The objective of this study was to experimentally evaluate the fatigue limit of 90 degrees unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. The very high-cycle fatigue properties of the specimens were evaluated using ultrasonic and electromagnetic fatigue testing machines. Ultrasonic fatigue tests were conducted to obtain the fatigue properties under the giga-cycle regime. The specimen geometry was designed to resonate at 20 kHz, the specimen consisted of CFRP laminate and a metal tab to connect to the horn end of the testing machine. Additionally, the free volume of the matrix material, namely, epoxy resin, of the CFRP laminates was evaluated using the positron annihilation method. A slit was introduced in the specimen surface to identify the location of damage development, which facilitated the free volume measurement by positron microscopy. The obtained S-N curves reveal that failure did not occur at strain levels lower than epsilon(max) = 0.75% at the slit tip for all specimens up to N = 1.0 x 10(9) cycles. The free volume measurement for a specimen set above the threshold strain level revealed that the free volume increased in size and decreased in amount as the number of cycles increased. The test results revealed that the opposite trend existed below the threshold, which suggests that a fatigue limit may exist.

  • Experimental evaluation of mode I fracture toughness of dissimilar-material joints with thermal residual stresses

    Kazuki Harada, Kristine Munk Jespersen, Momoka Shima, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Composites Science and Technology   224  2022.06

     View Summary

    The mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of dissimilar-material joints with thermal residual stresses is experimentally evaluated. The double cantilever beam (DCB) test is commonly used to assess the interlaminar fracture toughness of composites but is inadequate when dissimilar materials are joined owing to the mixed mode, which arises from differences in the bending stiffness and the thermal residual stresses formed during manufacturing because of differences in the linear expansion coefficient of the adherends. To address these difficulties, a new test, named the constant-load DCB test, was developed to evaluate the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness. In this study, a testing machine, based on the theoretical method previously established to derive the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of dissimilar-material joints, is manufactured, and the fracture toughness is experimentally determined. As a result, good agreement between the theoretical value and experimental results is obtained, and the mode mixity ratio is significantly decreased compared with that of the general DCB test.

  • Influence of covalently-bound graphene oxide on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber composite materials

    Mai Kikuchi, Kensuke Nakaso, Atsushi Murata, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Diamond and Related Materials   121  2022.01

     View Summary

    Graphene was used as an additive in fiber-reinforced plastics. The apparent interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was improved by grafting graphene onto the fibers. In this study, the effect of graphene grafted onto carbon fiber via chemical covalent bonding on the mechanical properties of the fibers was evaluated. This method was used to link graphene and carbon fibers via ester linkages, which are stronger than physical adsorption interactions and cause little damage to the fiber strength. Before grafting through an ester linkage, an electrophoretic deposition was conducted to uniformly coat graphene onto the carbon fibers. The purpose of this study was to establish a fabrication method that could control the density and thickness of the graphene layer covalently bound to the fibers. In addition, the optimal production process and composite form of the reinforced fibers were determined by evaluating the fiber strength and IFSS of various graphene-reinforced fibers. Ultimately, it was determined that graphene could be grafted onto carbon fibers relatively uniformly, and that the graphene layer thickness affected their interfacial shear strength. In terms of optimizing the IFSS, a thin and uniform graphene layer was best, and the IFSS was improved by 42.1% compared with untreated fibers containing sizing agents.

  • Evaluation of very high cycle fatigue properties for transverse crack initiation in cross-ply carbon fiber-reinforced plastic laminates

    Tsuyoshi Miyakoshi, Takeru Atsumi, Kensuke Kosugi, Atsushi Hosoi, Terumasa Tsuda, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures    2022

     View Summary

    This paper investigates the transverse crack initiation behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) in the high-cycle and very high cycle regimes. To accelerate the fatigue test up to the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime, an ultrasonic fatigue testing system that can apply the specimen ultrasonic load at a frequency of 20 kHz was used. The fatigue behavior of cross-ply CFRP laminates formed with T800S/2592 prepreg was investigated. The fatigue behaviors at N = 103–107 cycles and N = 108–109 cycles were obtained by hydraulic and ultrasonic fatigue tests, respectively. The slope of the S–N diagram for transverse crack initiation showed a linear decrease in the region of N = 103–106 cycles and leveled off over N = 106 cycles. Furthermore, no cracks occurred in any specimen tested under the 90°-layer stress σ90°max = 44 MPa up to a maximum of N = 6.56 × 109 cycles.

  • Post-synthesis treatment improves the electrical properties of dry-spun carbon nanotube yarns

    Takumi Watanabe, Akira Itoh, Tomohisa Watanabe, Takeshi Kizaki, Masayasu Inaguma, Atushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Carbon   185   314 - 323  2021.11

     View Summary

    Researchers expect carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns as an alternative to metallic wiring. However, the electrical properties of CNT yarns remain relatively low, necessitating further improvement. In this study, we fabricated CNT yarns by dry-spinning and performed several post-synthesis treatments to enhance the electrical properties. Polymer solution impregnation increased the electrical conductivity 1.82 × and the current capacity 1.58 ×, attributable to densification of the CNT yarn bundles. Graphitization (GT) increased the electrical conductivity 2.58 × and the current capacity 1.83 ×, attributable to purification of the crystalline structure. Iodinemonochloride/dichloromethane (ICl/DCM) doping increased the electrical conductivity 1.79 × and the current capacity 1.31 ×, attributable to the increased electron carrier density. We achieved further enhancement by a two-step treatment—GT and ICl/DCM doping—resulting in a 4.88 × increase in conductivity and reaches a maximum of 5.12 × 105 S/m. We observed greater doping effects after GT, which increased the electrical conductivity 1.89 ×, whereas doping for pristine CNT yarn only increased the electrical conductivity 1.79 ×. The X-ray photoelectron spectra of CNT yarn in each step indicated a positive relationship between the peak area of the π–π∗ transition component and the electrical conductivity. Therefore, we hypothesize that purification of the crystalline structure increases the electron carrier density by doping.

  • Fatigue delamination growth characterization of a directly bonded carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminates and aluminum alloys with surface nanostructure using DCB test

    Kei Saito, Kristine M. Jespersen, Hiroki Ota, Keita Wada, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Journal of Composite Materials   55 ( 22 ) 3131 - 3140  2021.09

     View Summary

    With the recent demand for weight reduction, structural materials for transportation equipment are being replaced by carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs). Therefore, techniques to join CFRTPs to alloys are needed. In this study, the fatigue delamination growth of bonded CFRTP/aluminum alloy joints was characterized. The specimens were bonded in three ways, using adhesive, direct chemical bonding, and direct chemical bonding with a nanostructured surface. The type of the specimen was double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen, which consisted of aluminum alloy (A5052) and plain woven CFRTP. The lay-up of the CFRTP was [(0,90)]9 and the used matrix was PA6. Fatigue loading was applied in displacement control mode. The ratio between the minimum and maximum displacement was 0.1, and the test frequency was 5 Hz. The crack length during the fatigue tests was obtained by compliance calibration. Fatigue was characterized by constructing a Paris diagram for each specimen type. The fracture surface distinctively changed from smooth brittle-like fracture to hair-like ductile fracture post fabricating a nanostructure and chemical bonding. As a result, the fatigue crack growth resistance of the specimen with the nanostructure significantly improved due to the hair-like ductile fracture.

  • Effect of the interfacial nanostructure on the interlaminar fracture toughness and damage mechanisms of directly bonded carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics and aluminum

     View Summary

    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs) are becoming of interest to mass production industries. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the direct bonding technique to join an aluminum alloy and a CFRTP laminate by fabricating a nanostructure on the aluminum alloy surface. The effect of the nanostructure on the fracture toughness and the damage mechanisms were investigated. The nanostructure improved the fracture toughness by about 2.6 times compared with that without the nanostructure. From observations of the fracture surface, ductile failure of the matrix owing to the nanostructure occurred, suggesting that plastic deformation improved the fracture toughness. From X-ray computed tomography observations, intralaminar failure caused by the nanostructure occurred, which appeared to be a factor for the improved fracture toughness.

  • Experimental measurement of mode-I fracture toughness of dissimilar material joints with thermal residual stresses

    Kristine M. Jespersen, Hiroki Ota, Kazuki Harada, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Engineering Fracture Mechanics   238  2020.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd The current study presents a novel test method to experimentally cancel out the thermal stresses in dissimilar material joints. For the commonly used double cantilever beam test the presence of thermal stresses results in a significant mode mixity at the crack tip, which varies with applied load even if the elastic properties of the adherends are similar. This is particularly a challenge for fibre reinforced plastics bonded to metals due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients. The presence of mode-II loading is likely to provide a higher fracture energy from experiments than if tested under pure mode-I loading, which can lead to non-conservative results when using standard test methods. To overcome this challenge a novel test method inspired by the mixed mode bending test is developed. It is shown that the thermal stresses can be cancelled by applying initial constant loads during testing, and that the fracture toughness under pure mode-I loading can be obtained under specific conditions. The test method is validated by carrying out virtual compliance calibration experiments using cohesive zone finite element modelling. As the test method relies solely on analytical calculations and can be used with standard test equipment, it is relatively simple to apply in practice.

  • Effect of interfacial nanostructure on mode mixity in directly bonded carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic laminates and aluminum alloy with thermal stresses

    Hiroki Ota, Kristine Munk Jespersen, Kei Saito, Keita Wada, Kazuki Okamoto, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    JSME 2020 Conference on Leading Edge Manufacturing/Materials and Processing, LEMP 2020    2020

     View Summary

    In recent years, for the aim of weight reduction of transportation equipment, carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs), which have high recyclability and formability, are becoming suitable for mass production. Additionally, with the development of multi-material structures, excellent technologies for joining metal and CFRTPs are required. In present industry, joining between dissimilar materials include adhesive bonding and mechanical joining methods, however, these methods still have some problems, and therefore an alternative bonding method without adhesive and mechanical joining is required for joining CFRTPs and metals. Thus, this study focused on direct bonding between CFRTP and an aluminum alloy, by producing a nanostructure on the surface of the aluminum alloy. The nanostructure penetrates the CFRTP matrix causing an anchoring effect, which results in significant bonding strength improvement. The influence of the nanostructure on the fracture toughness for the directly bonded CFRTP and aluminum was evaluated by static double cantilever beam (DCB) testing. Due to the difference of the thermal expansion coefficients between the CFRTP laminates and the aluminum alloy, significant residual stresses are generated. The effect of the thermal residual stresses on the fracture toughness along with the resulting mode mixity (mode ? and ?) was calculated. It is found that the thermal stresses introduce a significant mode mixity of the fracture toughness.

     View Summary

    © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020. Fan blades are subjected to very high-cycle loadings during the design life, so it is essential to evaluate the giga-cycle fatigue characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. In this study, the transverse crack initiation of the cross-ply CFRP laminates in very high-cycle fatigue region was evaluated using an ultrasonic fatigue testing machine. The fatigue tests were conducted at the frequency of f = 20 kHz and the stress ratio of R = −1. In order to suppress temperature rise of the specimen, the intermittent operation with the loading time of 200 ms and the dwelling time of 2000 ms was adopted. The fatigue life data to transverse crack initiation in very high-cycle fatigue region was compared with the data of the fatigue test which was conducted at the frequency of f = 5 Hz and the stress ratios of R = 0.1 and −1 using a hydraulic control fatigue test machine. It was evaluated considering the influences of the stress ratio and the thermal residual stress by using the modified Walker model. The fatigue life to the transverse crack initiation of the cross-ply CFRP laminates in the very high-cycle region exceeding 108 cycles was on the extension of the test data in the low cycle region.

  • Damage mechanisms and mechanical properties of directly bonded CFRTP and aluminium with nano-structured surface

    Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering     104 - 112  2020  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020. The present work studies the cohesive behaviour of a previously proposed novel direct bonding method for dissimilar bonding between a carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) and aluminium. A nanostructure is manufactured on the aluminium surface and is directly bonded to the CFRTP by applying heat and pressure. Double cantilever beam (DCB) testing is carried out to evaluate the bonding properties and the initial results of a method for directly measuring the traction-separation behaviour from experiments is presented. The nanostructure is observed to improve the bonding properties significantly compared to two other considered bonding cases. Furthermore, the measured traction-separation behaviour is seen to be difference for each case. Nevertheless, the applied calculation method shows some challenges related to thermal stresses and plastic deformation that should to be taken into account in future studies.

  • Energy absorption mechanism of thermoplastic fiber-reinforced plastics under impact loading using split-hopkinson pressure-bar method

    Key Engineering Materials   858 KEM   47 - 52  2020  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2020 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland. The energy absorbing performance in the progressive failure of glass long-fiber-reinforced polyamide was evaluated by using the split Hopkinson pressure-bar method. An impact compression test of glass long-fiber-reinforced polyamide was performed from –30 °C to 90 °C, and the temperature-independent energy absorbing performance was confirmed only for the progressive failure mode. To clarify this phenomenon, compression tests, interlaminar compressive shear tests and mode-I fracture-toughness tests were conducted under static and impact conditions. The compression strength and the shear strength of all specimens decreased with an increase in temperature. The toughness improved with temperature. In addition to the mechanical tests, failure-mode analysis was performed by using a three-dimensional X-ray microscope to clarify the absorbing mechanism. From the above, it was concluded that the temperature-independent energy absorbing performance results from a balance of these mechanical properties against the temperature change.

The current study presents a workflow to import a fibre bundle structure of a non-crimp fabric based fibre composite obtained by X-ray CT to a solvable 3D model in the finite element software ABAQUS. The considered fibre composite is similar to that used for the load carrying parts of wind turbine blades, and each layer of the non-crimp fabric contains fibre bundles oriented in the 0◦, 90◦, and ±45◦ directions. The 3D fibre bundle geometry is first segmented in the software AVIZO and then imported to Geomagic Wrap where the geometry is smoothened and converted into a nurbs surface that can be imported into ABAQUS. The resulting stress distribution is qualitatively compared to previous experimental observations and discussed.

  • Enhancing mechanical properties of graphene / epoxy nanocomposites using few-layer graphene produced by liquid phase exfoliation

    ECCM 2018 - 18th European Conference on Composite Materials    2020  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © CCM 2020 - 18th European Conference on Composite Materials. All rights reserved. In this study, few-layer graphenes (FLGs) were produced by new liquid phase exfoliation (LPE), exfoliation of graphite with weak acid salts. A high concentration dispersion of FLGs in low-boiling point solvents is successfully carried out, achieved by binding molecules with a dispersing function. And then graphene/epoxy nanocomposites were fabricated and tensile properties were evaluated in order to understand the effect of FLGs introduced into the resin. Graphene/epoxy nanocomposite showed improved mechanical properties. Tensile strength and fracture strain were increased by 11.5% and 55.6% compared with as-received one's. Especially, the improvement of fracture strain was outstanding, which indicated that adding FLGs had a positive impact on suppressing effect on crack propagation and improving fracture toughness of matrix resin. These beneficial results were derived from crack trapping by uniformly dispersed FLGs.

  • Evaluation of strength degradation behavior and fatigue life prediction of plain-woven carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic laminates immersed in seawater

    Shuhei Koshima, Shunsuke Yoneda, Norihiro Kajii, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing   127  2019.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2019 Elsevier Ltd The effect of long-term seawater immersion on the mechanical properties and fatigue life of plain-woven carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates was investigated. Under tension loading, the static strength and low-cycle fatigue strength of the CRFP laminates greatly decreased owing to the rapid growth of interface debonding and delamination. However, under compression loading, the fatigue strength of the CRFP laminates dramatically decreased in the entire fatigue region as fiber buckling was likely to occur. These findings indicate that the fatigue strength degradation differed depending on the stress ratio and deterioration of the fiber/matrix interface strength. In addition, the fatigue life after seawater immersion was predicted using Epaarachchi and Clausen's model and constant life diagrams. These models were shown to accurately reflect the decrease in fatigue strength resulting from seawater immersion and can thus be used for fatigue life prediction of CFRPs after long-term immersion in seawater.

  • The effect of nanospike structures on direct bonding strength properties between aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics

    Composites Part B: Engineering   172   26 - 32  2019.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2019 Elsevier Ltd With recent design developments in the automotive industry, it has become necessary to join dissimilar materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs). In this study, a nanospike structure is fabricated on the surfaces of aluminum plates and directly bonded to CFRTP laminates. The effect of the nanospike structure on the adhesion strength is evaluated by single-lap joint tests. It is found that the nanospike structure improves the adhesion strength. Furthermore, combining the nanospike structure with a silane coupling treatment results in failure in the aluminum part of the single-lap specimens with an overlap length of 12.5 mm, rather than in the joined region. The average adhesion strength of the single lap joint specimens with an overlap length of 5.0 mm is found to be 24.9 MPa. Scanning electron microscopy observations of the fracture surfaces of the joined region only showed cohesive failure. On the fracture surface of the CFRTP laminate, the matrix exhibits a hairy structure due to the presence of the nanospike structure in some regions and in other regions carbon fibers are exposed due to adherend failure. Thus, in addition to an improved joint strength, the results suggest that the nanostructure will also improve the fracture toughness by causing ductile failure of the matrix.

    © 2018 Elsevier Ltd The method for mass production of nanosheets is essential for fully realizing their commercial use. Direct exfoliation of layered materials in liquid is the simplest and low-cost technique for exfoliation without introducing defects in basal plane. However, the technique requires toxic and high-boiling point solvents, which makes it difficult for further processing. In addition, solvent exchange involves time-consuming processes such as filtering and redispersion. A breakthrough is necessary to make 2D-crystal-based functional dispersions. Here, we find a new method to directly exfoliate layered materials in low-boiling point solvents. Addition of small amounts of salt prevents reaggregation of exfoliated nanosheets and improves electrical repulsion. In this process, the mechanical force applied by sonication generates active carbon species at the fractured surfaces, leading to a reaction between the active carbon and the salt in liquid. High concentration graphene dispersions (1 g/L) can be obtained in isopropanol with only 5 min of sonication. We also confirm salt-assisted exfoliation is effective for the other 2D crystals such as MoS2 and boron nitride in a wide variety of polar solvents. Direct exfoliation in processable solution opens up a range of large-area applications such as high performance nanocomposites and coatings.

  • Mechanical properties and microstructural fracture behaviors of dry-spun SiC fibers

    Tatsuya Kimura, Hinako Ozaki, Michimasa Uda, Yoshio Hasegawa, Akiko Koshizaka, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    MECHANICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL   6 ( 3 )  2019  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Research and development of SiC/SiC composite materials as structural members of aerospace engines is progressing. In order to manufacture SiC/SiC composites with excellent high-temperature characteristics, the SiC fibers which have high mechanical properties at high temperature are necessary; thus, further development of SiC fibers is considered a critical issue. In addition, the development of low-cost SiC fibers is necessary for the practical application of SiC/SiC composites. Here, the low-cost SiC fibers can be fabricated by dry spinning method. In the dry-spinning method, the raw material, Polycarbosilane (PCS) is dissolved in an organic solvent and the solution is spun at room temperature. As high-molecular-weight Polycarbosilane is prepared in advance, the infusible process conventionally required in the melt-spinning method is not required. In this study, to evaluate the differences among dry-spun SiC fibers fabricated under various conditions, monofilament tensile tests were conducted. Examination of the fracture surface and elemental analysis of arbitrary cross-sections were then performed to investigate the effects of the fabrication conditions. The tensile strength results indicated that defects were suppressed by excluding low-molecular-weight components and that heat treatment between 1300 degrees C and 1500 degrees C resulted in the maximum strength. Weibull analysis revealed that the dry-spun fibers exhibited lower tensile strength but smaller variation of fiber strength than that of the melt-spun fiber because the dry-spun fibers were more homogeneous. However, evaluation of the crystallinity indicated that the interference pattern derived from the crystal was unclear in the dry-spun fibers but clear in the melt-spun fiber. Therefore, it was suggested that the dry-spun fibers exhibited lower crystallinity than the melt-spun fiber. In addition, the dry-spun and melt-spun fibers exhibited similar C/Si ratios, whereas a large amount of oxygen was detected on the surface of the dry-spun fiber relative to that on the surface of the melt-spun fiber. Further improvement of the mechanical properties is expected upon increasing the molecular weight of the raw material and improving the microstructure.

    K. M. Jespersen, J. C. Chung, K. Okamoto, H. Abe, A. Hosoi, H. Kawada

    IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering   388 ( 1 )  2018.07  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The current study presents a direct bonding method making it possible to obtain a high interface strength of aluminium joined to carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) plates by hot pressing. This is achieved by subjecting the aluminium to a combination of anodising, etching, and silane-coupling treatments prior to bonding. Different types of aluminium are subjected to different treatments and bonded to different types of CFRTP laminates. The effect of the surface structure on the static bonding strength and fatigue life measured by single-lap testing is compared and discussed. The bonding strength is found to be highly dependent on the anodisation conditions along with the type of thermoplastic resin.

  • Fatigue life prediction for transverse crack initiation of CFRP cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates

    Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Materials   11 ( 7 )  2018.07  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2018 by the authors. Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates are used as main structural members in many applications. Transverse cracks that form in 90° layers of CFRP laminates are mostly initial damage in the case where tensile loading is vertically applied to the 90° layers of CFRP laminates, and they are the origin of more serious damage of delamination and fiber breakage. It is thus important to predict quantitatively the transverse crack initiation of CFRP laminates subjected to cyclic loading to ensure the long-term reliability of the laminates. The initiation and multiplication behaviors of transverse cracks strongly depend on the laminate configuration, thickness, and thermal residual stress. Therefore, a model based on theWalker model was proposed to predict transverse crack initiation in CFRP cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates under cyclic loading in the present study. The usefulness of the proposed model was verified with 10 different CFRP laminates formed from four different prepregs with epoxy resin matrices. The analysis results were in good agreement with experimental results. The fatigue life was expressed with three constants, which related to the fatigue strength reduction, the normalized fatigue strength at N = 1 cycle, and the contribution of stress amplitude to the fatigue life, and they are independent of the laminate configuration.

     View Summary

    © 2018 Elsevier Ltd The current work studies the fatigue damage initiation and progression in a quasi-unidirectional non-crimp fabric based fibre composite used for wind turbine blades. This is done by combining in situ transilluminated white light imagining (TWLI) with ex-situ X-ray computed tomography (CT) experiments along with tension clamp X-ray CT experiments. TWLI is used to monitor the off-axis cracks in the thin supporting backing fibre bundles present in quasi-UD composites, and a crack counting algorithm is applied to automatically count the cracks in images obtained in situ during fatigue testing. It is found that off-axis cracks not only initiate at the specimen edges but also at isolated locations inside the specimen, which could be related to the microstructural features. In addition, a clear effect of strain level on the measured off-axis crack density is observed. From the X-ray CT experiments, it is found that the UD fibre fractures initiate and progress from regions where the off-axis backing fibre bundles are ‘in contact’ with a UD fibre bundle. Damage is seen to first initiate at a cross-over region of the backing fibre bundles, and later at a region with only one backing fibre bundle. In addition, applying tension to the specimen during X-ray CT scanning is found to reveal additional UD fibre fractures that are not visible in scans performed the unloaded state. With load applied, a significant number of UD fibre fractures were observed earlier in the fatigue life than expected. Based on the observations of the study a damage progression scheme is presented for quasi-UD fibre composites.

  • Influences of plasticity-induced crack closure on fatigue crack healing of carbon steel with heat treatment

    Eiichi Hamada, Yuto Furuya, Atsushi Hosoi, Yuji Morita, Hiroyuki Kawada

    ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Proceedings (IMECE)   12  2018  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Copyright © 2018 ASME Healing technology for metallic materials is an important subject in terms of long-term reliability and durability of structural members, a healing technology to heal fatigue crack by applying heat treatment at annealing temperature level has been discovered. In this study, the influences of plasticity-induced crack closure on healing were evaluated by obtaining the crack opening load during the pre-crack introduction and evaluating the fatigue crack propagation characteristics before and after the healing heat treatment, using compact tension specimens made of carbon steel with different test conditions. As a result, the specimen with high crack opening load showed high healing effect and were able to heal up to 95% of the pre-crack length. This suggested that the residual compressive stress due to the plasticity-induced crack closure accelerates the solid-state diffusion bonding during the crack healing process and this leads to the improvement of the healing effect.

    Transactions of the JSME (in Japanese)   84 ( 857 ) 17 - 00313-17-00313  2018  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    <p>Carbon nanotube yarn, which is an aggregate form of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is expected to be practically used as a lightweight wiring material. In recent years, CNT/metal composite yarn has been fabricated for making the CNT yarn highly conductive. While improving conductivity in the CNT/metal composite yarns, current capacity, which determines durable current value of the wiring material, has not reached practical value. In this study, composite material of untwisted CNT yarn and copper was fabricated by plating treatment for the purpose of creating a lightweight wiring with larger ampacity than metal wiring. In addition, CNT/copper composite yarns having different composite structures were fabricated and the relationships between the composite structure and electric characteristics were evaluated. One of the composite yarns had a two-layer structure in which copper was deposited on the surface of the CNT yarn, and the other had a structure in which copper precipitated to the inside of the CNT yarn. As a result of the plating treatment using a copper sulfate bath, current capacity of the composite yarn reached 6.87×108 A/m2 at the copper volume fraction of 28.9%, and the specific current capacity was 1.29 times larger than copper wire. From evaluation of the fracture mechanism, it was revealed that combustion of the CNTs and melting of the metal part were suppressed by combining the CNT yarn with copper, and it led to the large ampacity. In addition, it was possible to electroplate inside of the yarn by adding a dipping step to the plating process. In the case of the composite yarn plated the inside, an increase in resistance under large current was suppressed and further improvement of the current capacity was achieved.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>Fiber reinforced thermoplastics (FRTP) attracts attention as a lightweight material for mass-produced automobiles due to advantages such as excellent formability and recyclability in addition to high specific strength and specific rigidity. Many factors influence the improvement of the mechanical properties of FRTP. We have revealed that the tensile strength of injection-molded glass fiber/polyamide66 (GF/PA) improves as the reinforcement fiber diameter decreases in the wide strain rate range in previous researches. In addition, it was suggested that by using a strength prediction model of discontinuous fiber reinforcement, if the strength can be obtained for one diameter, the strength can be predicted for other diameters. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the strength enhancement of the GF/PA associated with thinning of the reinforcement fibers and increase of the strain rate. To ascertain the interface properties, single-fiber pull-out tests were conducted on the GF/PA and it was confirmed that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of the GF/PA had strain rate dependency. The strength prediction of the GF/PA with the strain rate dependency of IFSS taken into account showed values closer to the experimental values than the values obtained from the prediction with an assumption that IFSS is constant regardless of the strain rate. Furthermore, investigating the factor of the increase in strength due to the thinning of the fibers suggested that the increase of the fiber strength is the dominant factor.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>Carbon nanotube yarn, which is an aggregation of Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), enables CNTs to be used on macro scale. However, tensile strength of the CNT yarn is much lower than CNT itself, and improvement of the mechanical properties is a challenge for practical application of the yarns. CNTs composing the yarns include some defect structures and impure materials, and their presence can cause a decrease in tensile strength of the yarn. In this study, untwisted CNT yarns were fabricated by dry spun method and graphitized at a temperature of 2800°C for the purpose of improving mechanical properties. Additionally, strength of a CNT composing the yarn and interactive force between the CNTs were evaluated to clarify strength development mechanism of the graphitized CNT yarn. Crystallinity of the CNT yarn was improved more than ten times, and defect structures and impure materials was removed by the graphitization treatment. As a result of single fiber tensile tests, strength of the yarn was increased by 20~35% after the graphitization. On the other hand, strength of the CNT composing the yarn was decreased. The breaking form of the CNT yarn was changed from pulling out of CNT bundles to rapture of the bundles by the graphitization, indicating an increase of interactive force between the bundles. In addition, as a result of pulling out simulations by molecular dynamics method, it was indicated that the pulling out of the CNT bundles were suppressed by increase in van der Waals force. Consequently, the improvement of mechanical properties of the untwisted CNT yarns was not due to the change in the strength of the CNT in the yarns but the main cause was the increase in the interactive force between the CNTs.</p>

    <p>The effect of stress ratio on through thickness fatigue properties of thick carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with toughened interlaminar layers was evaluated. The unidirectional (UD) [088] and quasi-isotropic (QI) [45/0/-45/90]11S laminates were formed using prepregs (T800S/3900-2B) with toughened interlaminar layers. The spool shaped specimens were cut from the laminates. Static tensile and compressive tests were performed. As the results of the static tests on both laminates, the through thickness compressive strength was more than five times higher than tensile strength. The fracture morphology under compressive loading was difference between each laminate. Fatigue tests were performed under the stress ratio of R=0.1,-1,-3 and -6 on both laminates. As the results of the fatigue tests on both laminates, the fatigue life decreased as the stress ratio was lower. On the other hand, the remarkable difference of the fracture surface was not observed under each fatigue test condition by both macroscopic and microscopic observation in this study. The fatigue life of UD and QI specimens was able to be evaluated by the proposed model, the modified H-κ model based on strain energy approach. The predicted fatigue life was good agreement with the experimental results.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>Fatigue properties of the thick carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with toughened interlaminar layers in the out-of-plane direction (Z direction) and in the in-plane transverse direction (T direction) were evaluated experimentally. Spool specimens were machined from the thick mother plates which were laminated prepregs of T800S/3900-2B unidirectionally. The specimens were attached to metal tabs to apply loads in the thickness direction of the specimen. The tensile strengths in Z and T direction were measured by static tensile tests and S-N curves were obtained by fatigue tests at a stress ratio of R=0.1. As the results, the tensile strength in Z direction was 24% lower than that in T direction. Fatigue strength in Z direction at 106 cycles was also 25% lower than that in T direction. It was observed using a digital microscope that the fracture occurred in intralaminar layers in both static tensile tests and fatigue tests in Z direction. The thermal residual stress which was generated during the fabrication process and the stress distribution by mechanical loadings in spool specimens were calculated by finite element analysis. The calculated results showed that compressive residual stress applied in intralaminar layers in T direction by restraining the thermal deformation. It is found that the static tensile and fatigue properties in Z direction were almost the same as those in T direction by evaluating with the stresses applied in the nearest intralaminar layer to the minimum cross-section in the spool specimen.</p>

    Transactions of the JSME (in Japanese)   83 ( 855 ) 17 - 00312-17-00312  2017  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    <p>The effects of environment temperature on initiation and multiplication of transverse crack in cross-ply carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) laminates have been investigated. Static tensile tests for the cross-ply laminates and the 90° unidirectional laminates were carried out at room temperature, 93 °C and 130 °C, respectively. The transverse cracks were observed by soft X-ray photography. The tensile strength and the failure strain in the cross-ply laminates and the 90° unidirectional laminates at high temperature decreased compared to the values at room temperature. It was also found that the behavior of initiation and multiplication of the transverse cracks in the cross-ply laminates was changed due to the environment temperature. The experimental results under different temperature were analyzed by Weibull distribution on the basis of probabilistic model. Next, the energy release rate was calculated due to formation of a new micro crack based on the Weibull distribution. The predicted transverse crack density by Weibull distribution was compared with the experiment result and the reasonability of using Weibull distribution to CFRTP cross-ply laminates under high temperature was verified. It was found that the critical energy release rate of CFRTP laminates has decreased at high temperature and the experimental results showed that the matrix strength was decreased at high temperature. Also, the fiber-matrix interfacial fracture on the fracture surface of the 90° unidirectional laminates was observed in some areas at high temperature whereas the matrix fracture was observed at room temperature. Therefore, it was suggested that the interface strength between polymer and fiber was decreased at high temperature.</p>

     View Summary

    ©2016 The Society of Materials Science. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) pipes are expected to substitute for steel drive shafts to improve motorcar's fuel efficiency and driving performance. The static torsional strength of CFRP pipes formed by a modified simultaneous multi ply winding method is 20% higher than that of CFRP pipes formed by a filament winding method owing to few initial flaws. As the results of static torsional tests regarding [90/-45/+45]6 pipes, it was revealed that the delamination from the prepreg end occurred in the innermost layer and propagated in the interlaminar area of the -45°/+45° plies before the final failure. It is expected to design stacking sequence for preventing the delamination. In this study, effects of stacking sequence on the static torsional properties of the CFRP pipes were investigated. [902/-45/+45]6 and [90/-45/90/+45]6 pipes were formed to investigate effects of lamination angle difference between adjacent plies. Maximum lamination angle difference of the [90/-45/90/+45]6 pipe is smaller than that of the [902/-45/+45]6 pipe. In case of the [90/-45/90/+45]6 pipes with small lamination angle difference, the initiation of the delamination was delayed because the interlaminar stress was reduced. Furthermore, [(90/-45/90/+45)6/90] pipes were formed to investigate effects of an application of a 90° layer on the innermost layer. The delamination from the prepreg end did not occur before the final failure by the application of a 90° layer on the innermost layer since the applied load on the prereg end was reduced. Finally, the static torsional strength of the [(90/-45/90/+45)6/90] pipes was 25% higher than that of the [902/-45/+45]6 pipes due to improvement of delamination resistance.

    © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. In this paper, we report a non-invasive and non-destructive probing method for analyzing the MG63 osteoblast-like cells. High frequency microwave atomic force microscope (M-AFM) can be used to measure the surface topography and microwave image of MG63 cells simultaneously in one scanning process. Under the frequency modulation AFM mode, the M-AFM probe tip can scan above the cell surface, maintaining a constant stand-off distance and the created lateral forces were small enough as not to sweep away or deform the fragile biomolecules. By analyzing the results, quantification such as, the number and distribution of organelles and proteins of MG63 cells as well as their dimension and electrical property information can be characterized. The unique potentials of that M-AFM imaging biological substrates with no damaging manner and nanometer scale resolution, while the original structure and function of the biomolecules during the investigation are preserved, make this technique very attractive to biologists.

    © 2016, European Conference on Composite Materials, ECCM. All rights reserved. The fatigue life of thick carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with toughened interlaminar layers in the out-of-plane direction was evaluated at different stress ratios. The spool shaped specimens were cut out the unidirectional thick CFRP laminates which pile up 88 plies of the prepreg with toughened interlaminar layer, T800S/3900-2B. The fatigue tests were conducted under the stress ratios of R = 0.1, -1, -3 and -6 to evaluate the effect of the stress ratio. As the results of the fatigue tests, the fatigue life of the specimens became shorter as the stress ratio became smaller, i.e. as the absolute values of the compressive stress became higher. It was found that the fatigue properties of the CFRP laminates in the out-of-plane direction are affected by the stress amplitude from the experimental results. In addition, the fatigue life under the different stress ratio was evaluated equivalently using the proposed model, modified H-κ model, which considers the strain energy. The analytical results showed good agreement with experimental results. In addition, the fatigue properties of the thick CFRP laminates in the out-of-plane direction were evaluated with the constant fatigue life diagram derived from the proposed model.

    © 2016, European Conference on Composite Materials, ECCM. All rights reserved. Carbon nanotube (CNT) is increasingly applied as a reinforcement of polymer matrix composite because of extremely high mechanical properties. Among several forms of CNT reinforcement, CNT yarn can be a next-generation reinforcement which enables the use of CNTs in the macro-scale. In this study, untwisted CNT yarns were fabricated by the dry spinning method using a die and graphitized in order to develop CNT yarns with high strength and stiffness. Impure materials and defective structures on MWCNTs were removed after graphitization treatment. G/D ratio was improved more than 10 times. Stress transfer between constituent MWCNTs of CNT yarns became more effectively by removing impure materials. Consequently, macroscopic mechanical properties of CNT yarns were improved by the graphitization treatment in addition to improvement of MWCNT itself.

     View Summary

    Application of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) pipes to torque transmission shafts makes it possible to improve automotive driving performance as well as fuel efficiency. A modified simultaneous multi ply winding method was developed as a new forming method for CFRP pipes using prepregs. The CFRP pipes formed by the method have fewer initial flaws, such as voids and fiber waviness. It resulted in 20 % increase in the static torsional strength than conventional CFRP pipes formed by a filament winding method. In this study, effects of stacking sequence on the torsional fatigue properties of the CFRP pipes formed by the modified method were investigated. Torsional fatigue tests were conducted under load control. All tests were conducted at the test frequency f=1 Hz, the maximum applied torque Tmax=1.0 kNm and the stress ratio R=0.1. [902/-45/+45]6 and [90/-45/90/+45]6 pipes were formed to investigate effects of lamination angle difference between adjacent plies. Maximum lamination angle difference of the [90/-45/90/+45]6 pipe is smaller than that of the [902/-45/+45]6 pipe. When the CFRP pipes had smaller lamination angle difference, the initiation and growth of the delamination from the prepreg end in the innermost layer were delayed because interlaminar stress was reduced. Moreover, [(90/-45/90/+45)6/90] pipes were formed to investigate effects of an application of a 90° layer on the innermost layer. As the result, the delamination hardly initiated since the shear stress on the prereg end was reduced. Consequently, the fatigue life of the [(90/-45/90/+45)6/90] pipes increased seven-fold than that of the [902/-45/+45]6 pipes due to improvement of delamination resistance under cyclic torsional loading.

     View Summary

    <p>Applications of fiber reinforced plastics have been expanding due to improvement of not only fuel efficiency but also the motion performance of some recent vehicles. Especially, the demand for injection-molded fiber reinforced thermoplastics is expected to increase because of their superior moldability, productivity and recyclability. In this study, the influence the fiber diameter has on the impact tensile properties of long glass-fiber reinforced polyamide (GF/PA) is investigated using the split Hopkinson pressure bar method. Prior to the tensile tests, an investigation of the fiber-orientation distribution was conducted in order to cut out specimens with the same fiber orientation angle from the injection molded plate. Two types of specimens, referred to as specimens with high- and low orientation angle, were manufactured using glass fibers with average diameters of 13, 17, 23 μm. In the tensile test, the GF/PA with smallest fiber diameter showed the highest tensile strength and the most significant strain rate dependency on the strength. These effects were more significant for the specimens with high orientation angle. From SEM observations on the fracture surface and an average fiber length measurement, it was observed that the interfacial fracture and the fiber breakage were dominant failure modes under the considered tensile loading conditions. It was suggested that decreasing the stress acting on the fiber/matrix interface by reducing the fiber diameter affected the improvement of the GF/PA strength. Using the modified linear rule of mixtures, the tensile strength was predicted. The predictions showed good agreement with experimental results. Therefore, it is believed that the decrease of critical fiber length is the reason that the impact tensile properties are higher for the samples with smaller fiber diameter.</p>

    Atsushi Hosoi, Yuhei Yamaguchi, Yang Ju, Yasumoto Sato, Tsunaji Kitayama

    Composite Structures   128   134 - 144  2015.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. A novel method using microwaves is proposed to detect and evaluate defects in glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) laminates. A thin circular plastic film simulating delamination was inserted in GFRP laminates and was detected using microwave reflectometry. A focusing mirror sensor consisting of a horn antenna and two metal mirrors was used to improve the measurement resolution. In addition, the thickness of the film was calculated using a proposed model based on microwave propagation theory. Measuring the variation in the amplitude of the microwave reflectivity, a 7.5-μm-thick film was successfully detected in a 3-mm-thick GFRP laminate. Moreover, the calculated results of the inserted film thickness had a high degree of accuracy.

    © 2015 International Committee on Composite Materials. All rights reserved. The effect of the stress ratio on fatigue characteristics in the out-of-plane direction of thick carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with toughened interlaminar layers was evaluated. The spool shaped specimens cut out the unidirectional thick CFRP laminates, which pile up 88 plies of the prepreg with toughened interlaminar layer, T800S/3900-2B, were used. The fatigue tests were conducted under the stress ratios of R = 0.1 and -1 to evaluate the effect of the stress ratio. As the results of the fatigue tests, the fatigue life of the specimens at R = -1 was shorter than that at R = 0.1. It was found that the fatigue properties of the CFRP laminates in the out-of-plane direction are affected by the stress amplitude from the experimental results. In addition, the fatigue life under the different stress ratio can be evaluated equivalently using the Walker model which can consider the mean stress effect.

  • Strain rate dependent tensile properties of injection molded long glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics

    ICCM International Conferences on Composite Materials   2015-July  2015  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    © 2015 International Committee on Composite Materials. All rights reserved. Long Fiber reinforced Thermoplastics (LFT) have been used in a lot of industrial fields such as automotive industries because of their excellent moldabilities, productivities, and high mechanical properties compared with injection molded Short Fiber reinforced Thermoplastics (SFT). On the other hand, mechanical properties of LFT are significantly low compared with continuous fiber reinforced plastics. So, improvements of them are still important study subjects. In past studies, there were some reports about the absorbed impact energy of LFT, and LFT showed higher energy absorption property than SFT. However, there have been few studies focused on strength, stiffness and their strain rate dependencies of LFT in impact loading condition. These quantitative evaluations are essential to material design for developments of impact-resistant LFT. In this study, mechanical properties and strain rate dependency of injection molded long glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics under impact loading were investigated. The effectiveness of longer residual fibers to improvement of impact properties of injection molded composites was indicated. LFT showed higher mechanical properties compared with SFT at any strain rate in this study. Increasing rate of tensile strength in LFT was also much higher than that in SFT, and significant improvement of impact properties of injection molded composites were achieved by longer residual fibers. As a result of observation of micro structures and fracture surfaces after impact tensile test, it was confirmed that the fracture occurred mainly in matrix and fiber/matrix interface in the case of SFT. On the other hand, in LFT specimens, impact tensile loading was effectively transferred to reinforcement glass fibers, and they were broken after impact tensile test. Consequently, it was revealed that strain rate dependency of glass fiber strength resulting from the slow crack growth development led to high impact tensile properties of LFT.

     View Summary

    © 28th ICAF Symposium, ICAF 2015. All rights reserved. A method has been proposed to predict the fatigue life to the transverse crack initiation in cross-ply and quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates. The six kinds of the laminates were formed of the two kinds of the prepregs, T800S/3900-2B with toughened interlaminar layers and T800H/3631 without toughened interlaminar layers. The unidirectional and cross-ply laminates of the stacking sequence of [90]12, [0/904]S and [0/906]S were formed of the T800S/3900-2B prepreg, and the cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates of the stacking sequence of [0/902]S, [0/906]S and [45/0/-45/90]S were formed of T800H/3631 prepreg. Tensile fatigue tests were performed under load control using a hydraulic fatigue testing machine. The transverse crack initiation in the laminates under fatigue loading was evaluated by modifying the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model, which can evaluate the mean stress effect on the fatigue life. Finally, it was found that the initiation of transverse crack in the laminates with the various laminate configuration can be predicted using the modified SWT model, and that means that it is possible to predict the initiation of transverse crack in the laminates with the various laminate configuration using S-N curve of unidirectional laminates in 90° direction.

  • Mechanical properties of densified untwisted carbon nanotube yarn / epoxy composites

    Risa Yoshizaki, Kim Tae Sung, Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    ASME 2015 International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference, MSEC 2015   1  2015  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Copyright © 2015 by ASME. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have very high specific strength and stiffness. The excellent properties make it possible to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites. However, it is difficult to use CNTs as the reinforcement of long fibers because of the limitation of CNT growth. In recent years, a method to spin yarns from CNT forests has developed. We have succeeded in manufacturing the unidirectional composites reinforced with the densified untwisted CNT yarns. The untwisted CNT yarns have been manufactured by drawing CNTs through a die from vertically aligned CNT arrays. In this study, the densified untwisted CNT yarns with a polymer treatment were fabricated. The tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the yarns were improved significantly by the treatment, and they were 1.9 GPa and 140 GPa, respectively. Moreover, the polymer treatment prevented the CNT yarns from swelling due to impregnation of the matrix resin. Finally, the high strength CNT yarn composites which have higher volume fraction than a conventional method were successfully fabricated.

     View Summary

    © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. A fatigue life to the initiation of transverse cracks in cross-ply carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates has been predicted using properties of the fatigue strength of unidirectional CFRP in the 90° direction. In the experiments, unidirectional [90]12 laminates were used to obtain a plot of maximum stress versus number of cycles to breaking, and two types of cross-ply laminates of [0/904]S and [0/906]S were used to evaluate the initiation and multiplication of transverse cracks under fatigue loading. Transverse cracks were studied by optical microscopy and soft X-ray photography. Analytical and experimental results showed good agreement, and the fatigue life for transverse crack initiation in cross-ply laminates was predicted successfully from the fatigue strength properties of the unidirectional CFRP in the 90° direction. The prediction results showed a conservative fatigue life than the experimental results.

     View Summary

    © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014. A novel method has been proposed to fabricate an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe using CuO nanowire and a stress-induced method that can form the nanowire easily. By heating a commercial AFM probe with a film coating of Ta and Cu, a Cu hillock with CuO nanowires on its surface could be formed at the end of the probe. The thickness of the coating films, the heating temperature, and the heating time were investigated to obtain CuO nanowires with a high aspect ratio for use as an AFM probe tip. It was found that a suitable probe tip can be fabricated using the a Cu film thickness of 700 nm, a heating temperature of 380 °C and a heating time of 6 h. Probe tips (~5 μm high) and nanowires of ~25 nm diameter were obtained successfully. In the range evaluated, the measurement resolution of the CuO nanowire probe was slightly worse than that of a commercial AFM probe. However, both probes had almost the same dimensional measurement precision.

     View Summary

    Fatigue cracks were healed by controlling a high-density electric current. The changes in the displacement distribution around the crack tip and the stress intensity factor before and after crack healing were evaluated quantitatively with a digital image collation method. According to the results, it was determined that the cracks were closed by approximately 2 to 7-μm in this study. On the other hand, the stress intensity factor decreased or increased depending on the conditions of the crack and the current applied. The physical restriction between the crack surfaces, such as bridging, is important with respect to lowering the stress intensity factor after healing. © 2014 Wiley Publishing Ltd.

     View Summary

    Mesoporous silica-coated Au nanorod (AuNR@SiO2) is one of the most important appealing nanomaterials for cancer therapy. The multifunctions of chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and imaging of AuNR@SiO2 make it very useful for cancer therapy. In this study, AuNR@SiO2 was functionalized to deliver hydrophobic antitumor drug and to heat the targeted tumor with the energy of near-infrared (NIR). To carry out the function of targeting the tumor, tLyP-1, a kind of tumor homing and penetrating peptide, was engrafted to AuNR@SiO2. The fabricated AuNR@SiO2-tLyP-1 which was loaded with camptothecin (CPT) showed a robust, selective targeting and penetrating efficiency to Hela and MCF-7 cells and induced the death of these cells. When the micromasses of these AuNR@SiO2-tLyP-1 internalized cells were irradiated by NIR illumination, all the cells were killed instantaneously owing to the increased temperature caused by the surface plasma resonance (SPR) of the internalized AuNR@SiO2-tLyP-1. Moreover, the systematic toxicity of CPT-loaded AuNR@SiO2-tLyP-1 on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) was minimized, because the AuNR@SiO 2-tLyP-1 selectively targeted and penetrated into the tumor cells, and little hydrophobic CPT was released into the culture medium or blood. This study indicates that the AuNR@SiO2-tLyP-1 drug delivery system (DDS) has great potential application for the chemo-photothermal cancer therapy. © 2014 American Chemical Society.

    With the ongoing miniaturization in electronic packaging, the traditional solders suffer from severe performance degradation. In addition, the high temperature required in the traditional solder reflow process may damage electronic elements. Therefore, there is an increasing urgent need for a new kind of nontoxic solder that can afford good mechanical stress and electrical contact at low temperature.

     View Summary

    Initiation and growth behaviors of a transverse crack occurred in interlaminar toughened CFRP cross-ply laminates under cyclic loading were evaluated. Specimens whose stacking sequence is [0/904]S and [0/906]S were formed with T800S/3900-2B prepreg. The specimen edges were observed with an optical microscope and a laser microscope to investigate the behavior of transverse crack initiation and growth. To observe the edge surface of the specimen at arbitrary loading cycles, a replica technique was used. In addition, soft X-ray photography was used to observe internal damage. The number of cycles to transverse crack initiation was predicted quantitatively by applying the normalized modified Paris law, which shows the relationship between transverse crack density growth rate and normalized energy release rate range associated with transverse crack formation. Analytical results showed good agreement with experimental results. It was found that transverse crack initiation in interlaminar toughened CFRP laminates can be evaluated by applying the normalized modified Paris law. Moreover, in comparison to the laminates with and without toughened layers, the fatigue life to transverse crack initiation was prolonged due to the toughened layers. From damage observation, it was cleared that a transverse crack path to the thickness direction of the laminate was prevented by polyamide particles in the toughened layers. Therefore, it was found that the toughened layers dispersed polyamide particles to prevent delamination are effective for obstructing initiation of a transverse crack under cyclic loading.

  • Fatigue strength properties of interlaminar toughened CFRP laminates under cyclic loading in the out-of-plane direction

    Transactions of the JSME (in Japanese)   80 ( 812 ) SMM0087 - SMM0087  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this study, fatigue strength properties of interlaminar toughened CFRP laminates in the out-of-plane direction, or through thickness, were investigated. Thick laminates whose stacking sequence was unidirectional were formed with 88 plies of T800S/3900-2B prepreg. The T800S/3900-2B prepreg is constituted of fiber layer and interlaminar toughened layer in which polyamide particles are dispersed. The material properties of the thick laminates were measured by compression test and 4-points shear test. Spool specimens machined from the thick laminates were loaded in the out-of-plane direction. Stress distributions of spool specimens were evaluated by FE analysis. Fiber layer and interlaminar toughened layer in the each ply were modeled separately in the analysis. In comparison to the out-of-plane direction, the properties of in-plane transverse direction were investigated with 90° thin laminates. To evaluate the fatigue strength properties quantitatively, an analytical equation was introduced for the results of fatigue test. The fracture surfaces of the specimens after static and fatigue tests were observed by SEM. From the observation of the fracture surfaces after fatigue test, it was found that the interfacial debonding between fiber and matrix was occurred due to cyclic loading in both of specimens. In addition, it was observed that crack generated from debonding grew in the fiber layer until ultimate fracture. Moreover, the experimental and analytical results showed that, in comparison to the in-plane transverse direction, the fatigue life in the out-of-plane direction is shorter.

    The preparation of room-temperature electrical fasteners with high adhesion strength presents a major challenge at the micro- or nanoscale. A carbon nanotube (CNT)-Cu/parylene core/shell nanowire (NW) array room-temperature electrical fastener was therefore prepared, and is described herein. The shear adhesion strength of the CNT-Cu/parylene NWarray electrical fastener reached a maximum of 50.72N/cm2, which is six times higher than that of a metallic NW electrical fastener. A theoretical analysis indicated that the adhesion force of such a fastener can potentially be further improved by increasing the effective contact length between the CNTs and the Cu/parylene NW. The resistance of the fastener is 45.4Ω, which indicates that it has good electrical conductivity. © 2014 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

    RSC Advances   4 ( 18 ) 9056 - 9060  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    To mimic gecko foot adhesion, spinnable vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) arrays, which have a higher density and cleaner surface than ordinary VACNT arrays, were prepared by a normal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process that is simple and easy to operate for large-scale fabrication, particularly compared with the low-pressure CVD process. The height of the spinnable VACNT array was tuned by varying the reaction time. The shear adhesion strength of the spinnable VACNT array (0.16 cm2) was increased from 21.4 ± 1.7 to 85.8 ± 8.7 N cm-2 when the length of the spinnable VACNT array increased from 35 to 110 μm. Based on the enhanced van der Waals force induced by the large number of contact points on the high-density spinnable VACNT array, the maximum shear adhesion strength of the spinnable VACNT array (0.16 cm2) is 91.8 N cm-2, which is comparable to that of the CNT-based adhesive (∼100 N cm-2) prepared by the low-pressure CVD process. Moreover, a spinnable VACNT array adhesive was prepared over a large area, and a maximum weight of 3.0 Kg was supported successfully by a spinnable VACNT array adhesive with a contact area of 0.96 cm2. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

    Langmuir   29 ( 45 ) 13909 - 13916  2013.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The traditional bonding technology in electronic assembly relies on high-temperature processes, such as reflow soldering or curing of adhesives, which result in undesired thermal excursions and residual stress at the bonding interface. Therefore, there is an urgent need to attach electronic components on the circuit board with good mechanical and electrical properties at room temperature. In this paper, a room-temperature electrical surface fastener consisting of copper/parylene core/shell nanowire (NW) arrays were prepared, and van der Waals (VDW) forces were utilized to interconnect the core/shell NWs. Interestingly, the Parylene C film becomes conductive due to dielectric breakdown when the thickness of it is miniaturized to nanoscale. Our electrical surface fastener exhibits high macroscopic adhesion strength (∼25 N/cm 2) and low electrical resistance (∼4.22 × 10-2 Ω·cm2). Meanwhile, a new theoretical model based on VDW forces between the NWs is proposed to explain the adhesion mechanism of the core/shell structure. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

    MATERIALS   6 ( 9 ) 4213 - 4225  2013.09  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A technique to heal a fatigue crack in austenitic stainless steel SUS316 by applying a controlled, high-density pulsed current was developed. A surface-activated pre-coating (SAPC), which eliminates the oxide layer and coats a Ni film on the crack surface, was used to improve the adhesion between crack surfaces. Cracks were observed by scanning electron microscopy before and after the application of high-density electropulsing. To evaluate the healing effect of the SAPC during crack propagation, fatigue tests were conducted under a constant stress intensity factor. The fatigue crack treated with the SAPC was found to be effectively healed as a result of electropulsing, and also showed a slower rate of crack propagation.

    A novel method to fabricate an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe with CuO nanowire was proposed using a stress-induced method which can form nanowire easily. By heating a commercial AFM probe which is eliminated its tip and is coated with Ta and Cu films, Cu hillock and CuO nanowires on the hillock can be formed at the probe end. To obtain the CuO nanowire of high aspect ratio that can use as an AFM probe tip, thickness of coating films, heating temperature and heating time were investigated. As the result, the probe tip approximately 5 μm high and the nanowire approximately 25 nm in diameter were successfully obtained. In the results that the measurement resolution was evaluated, the measurement resolution of the CuO nanowire probe slightly worse than that of a commercial AFM probe. However, from the viewpoint of the dimensional measurement, the precision was almost equal between both probes. © 2013 CMP.

     View Summary

    Using the microwave atomic force microscope (M-AFM) measuring system, the sampleof Au nanowires arranged on glass wafer was sensed with three kinds of scanning speed. As theresults shown, the spatial resolution of topographies is increased with the decrease of scanningspeed. However, the precision of microwave images is not changed much with decreasing thescanning speed. Since M-AFM with the compact microwave instrument can always implement thereal time measurement, the variation of scanning speed will not affect the microwave measurement. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    Nihon Kikai Gakkai Ronbunshu, A Hen/Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Part A   79 ( 799 ) 249 - 265  2013  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The effect of ply thickness on the formation of first transverse crack caused in cross-ply carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates was evaluated under fatigue loading. In addition, the initiation process of the transverse crack was observed with an atomic force microscopy (AFM) in detail. The formation of the first transverse crack was evaluated quantitatively with the power law between the transverse crack density growth rate and the normalized energy release rate range associated with transverse crack formation. The analytical results showed good agreement with the experimental results. Moreover, from the analytical results with the cross-ply [0/906]s and [02/9012]s laminates, it was shown that the fatigue life to the formation of the first transverse crack in [0/906]s is approximately 100 times longer than that in [02/9012]s. Furthermore, as the results observed the process of the transverse crack initiation with AFM, it was cleared that matrix resins around fibers were uplifted on the laminate edge surface due to cyclic loading. The observation results indicate that the micro cracks are initiated at the interface between fiber and matrix resin by the stress concentration due to the uplift of matrix resins, that the micro cracks grow to the thickness direction in 90° plies with concatenating the interfacial cracks and that the transverse crack is formed finally. © 2013 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

     View Summary

    To investigate the effect of high-density electric current on healing of the fatigue damage, the recovery of residual plastic strain was quantitatively evaluated with the digital image correlation method. The microhardness was measured within the plastic zone at the root of notch. Furthermore, the dislocation structures before and after the application of electric current were investigated by transmission electron microscopy to further understand the mechanics of the healing effect. It was concluded that the fatigue damage was healed by a decrease in dislocation density. As a result, fatigue crack initiation was delayed by the healing of fatigue damage. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

     View Summary

    Cu2O flower/grass-like nanoarchitectures (FGLNAs) were fabricated directly on two category specimens of Cu foils and Cu film using thermal oxidation method. The FGLNAs are approximately 3.5 to 12 μm in size, and their petals are approximately 50 to 950 nm in width. The high compressive stress caused by a large oxide volume in the Cu2O layer on the specimen surface played an important role in the growth of FGLNAs. The effects of surface conditions, such as the surface stresses, grain size, and surface roughness of Cu foil and Cu film specimens, on the FGLNA growth were discussed in detail.

     View Summary

    This paper presented a room temperature bonding technique based on copper nanowire. A structure with copper nanowire array growing on the patterned areas of the silicon substrate was prepared through template-assistant electro-deposition. Through pressing the tilted and straight nanowire arrays against each other, the van der Waals interactions between the interconnected nanowires resulted in the mechanical bonding and electrical connectivity. This room temperature bonding technique exhibited anisotropic adhesion properties. The maximum adhesive strength of 9.36 N/cm2 and electrical resistance of 0.3 (areas, A3.14 mm2) were obtained. Hence, it might have important implications for the assembly of components in the micro electronics. © 2012 IEEE.

    8th Asian-Australasian Conference on Composite Materials 2012, ACCM 2012 - Composites: Enabling Tomorrow's Industry Today   1   173 - 178  2012  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The formation of a first transverse crack in cross-ply CFRP laminates was predicted under fatigue loading and the fatigue limit of transverse crack initiation was evaluated quantitatively. Transverse cracks induce more serious damage, such as delamination or fiber breakage. It is essential to understand the mechanism of the transverse crack initiation for improving long-term durability of CFRP laminates. Therefore, a method was proposed to predict the number of cycles to transverse crack initiation in cross-ply CFRP laminates under fatigue loading. Two types of cross-ply CFRP laminates, [0/90 6]s and [02/9012]s, of different thickness were used for fatigue tests. As the results, we were successful in predicting the number of cycles to transverse crack initiation under fatigue loading and evaluating the fatigue limit of the transverse crack initiation by the proposed analysis. Moreover, it was found that the fatigue life to transverse crack initiation in [0/906]s laminate was approximately 100 times longer than that in [02/90 12]s laminates. © 2012 by Asian-Australian Association for Composite Materials (AACM).

     View Summary

    A method to predict quantitatively the first of transverse cracks accumulated in the various types of [0 m/90 n] s cross-ply carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates subjected to fatigue loading was proposed. On the basis of the assumption that the mechanism of transverse crack initiation is equivalent to that of transverse crack increase in the earlier stage of fatigue within low transverse crack density, the cycles at which a transverse crack initiates are calculated by applying the normalized modified Paris law, which shows the relationship between the transverse crack density growth rate and the normalized energy release rate range associated with the transverse crack formation. When the constants of the normalized modified Paris law are given with an arbitrary cross-ply laminate, the proposed method makes possible to predict the initiation of a transverse crack in the other various types of cross-ply laminates under fatigue loading by only measuring the stress at which a transverse crack initiates under static tensile loading. © 2012 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    The change of fatigue damage behavior depending on an applied stress level in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates was evaluated quantitatively in this study. To evaluate damage growth, the energies released due to transverse crack propagation and delamination growth per unit length with consideration of transverse crack propagation were derived. Moreover, the transverse crack propagation and the delamination growth were evaluated using a modified Paris law that gives the relationship between the damage growth rate and the energy released due to damage growth. As a result, it was found that the growth of the transverse crack and the delamination could be evaluated with the unique Paris law constants, respectively. Finally, it was concluded that the change of the fatigue damage growth behavior was caused due to the difference of the growth rate of the transverse cracks and delamination at an applied stress level. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    In this study, transverse crack initiation in cross-ply CFRP laminates under fatigue loading was evaluated focusing on the transverse crack growth and saturation. The number of cycles that a transverse crack initiates was predicted by the analytical model on the basis of the modified Paris law. In addition, the lower threshold of the transverse crack formation was researched by a modified Paris-law, and the fatigue limit of the transverse crack initiation was evaluated by calculating the stress applied in 90° layer where the increase of the transverse cracks was saturated. Moreover, transverse crack was observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to investigate the mechanism of transverse crack initiation. As the results, the analytical results for predicting the transverse crack initiation showed good agreement with the experimental results. Moreover, it was shown that the lower threshold of the transverse crack formation existed, and that the stress applied in 90° layer at saturation state was almost equivalent to the fatigue limit of the transverse crack initiation from the experimental results. From the observation with SEM, it was found that the initiation of the transverse crack under fatigue loading depended on the interface property between fiber and matrix. © 2011 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    To detect stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and evaluate its depth on the surface of Ni-base alloys, a microwave microscope was employed. An open-ended coaxial line sensor was used to increase the spatial resolution. The working frequency was 110 GHz and the standoff distance between the sensor and the sample was 60 |jm. The shape of SCC was obtained by microwave imaging. By measuring the amplitude of reflection coefficient, detection of SCC was achieved. To evaluate SCC depth, the attenuation constant of microwave in the crack was decided by comparing the measured microwave signal with the depth of a reference SCC obtained by destructive testing. Finally, the distribution of the depth of another SCC was evaluated by the proposed equation with the obtained attenuation constant. © 2011 The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Au and glass samples were measured by the probes working at a non-contact AFM mode. The M-AFM probe with the nano-slit having the width of 75 nm, by which the difference of the measured voltage between Au and glass samples is 55.1 mV, shows the highest sensitivity for detecting electrical properties of materials. As the result illustrated, the M-AFM probe with smaller width nano-slit on the tip can be considered to be an ideal nano structure. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

     View Summary

    This study focused on the initiation of a transverse crack in cross-ply CFRP laminates under fatigue loading. Transverse cracks induce more serious damages, such as delamination or fiber breakage. It is essential to understand the mechanism of the transverse crack onset under fatigue loading for improving long-term durability and reliability of CFRP laminates. Therefore, a method to evaluate and predict the initiation of a transverse crack in cross-ply CFRP laminates under fatigue loading was proposed. Fatigue tests at various stress levels were performed to evaluate the initiation and multiplication of the transverse cracks. Fatigue tests were interrupted at arbitrary loading cycles to observe damage in cross-ply CFRP laminates. The transverse cracks caused in the laminates were observed by an optical microscope and soft X-ray photography. The fatigue limit of transverse crack initiation in this fatigue conditions was indicated by calculating the stress applied in 90° layer of the laminates at the saturated state of the transverse cracks with a variational approach. Moreover, the analytical method on the basis of Paris law in order to predict the number of cycles to transverse crack initiation under fatigue loading was proposed. As the results, the predicted number of cycles to transverse crack initiation shows good agreement with experimental results.

     View Summary

    A technique was developed to heal a fatigue crack by controlling a high density electric current field. The high-density electric current field was applied at the tip of the crack by using closely spaced electrodes. It was found that the electric stimulation influences the states and propagation behavior of a fatigue crack in the stainless steel. When the electric current was applied to a specimen having a pre-crack with a large opening displacement, a closure effect at the crack tip was shown and the bridges between the crack surfaces were observed. On the other hand, when the electric current was applied to a specimen having a pre-crack with a small opening displacement, an opening effect was shown. These effects were also evaluated quantitatively by the Paris law. Copyright © 2010 by ASME.

  • Nondestructive detection of defects in GFRP laminates by microwaves

    Journal of Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering   4 ( 11 ) 1711 - 1721  2010  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The application of microwave reflectometry was studied for nondestructive detection of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) laminates. The specimens having different kinds of defects and dimensions were prepared. The change of the microwave signals was measured by scanning the specimens with a K band waveguide sensor which can propagate microwaves from 18 to 26 GHz. The influence of the frequency of microwaves and the thickness of the laminates on measurement sensitivity was investigated. As a result, it was shown that the defects of more than 0.2 mm thickness in the GFRP laminate can be detected. The stable measurement results were obtained at lower frequency though measurement sensitivity for small defects was better at the higher frequency. It is necessary to select the suitable frequency for the measurement objectives because the interference due to the reflection waves from the top and bottom surfaces of the measurement objectives is caused depending on the objective and defect dimensions. In addition, it was shown that the defect of an aluminum film can be detected within the GFRP laminates of 30 mm thickness.

     View Summary

    High-cycle fatigue features of over 108 cycles, particularly the initiation and propagation of edge delamination considering the effects of transverse cracks, were investigated using quasi-isotropic carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with a stacking sequence of [45/0/-45/90]s in this study. In the relationship between a transverse crack density and initiation and growth of edge delamination, it was found that fatigue damage growth behavior varied depending on applied stress. It was observed that edge delamination initiated and grew at parts where transverse cracks were dense at ordinary applied stress, whereas it was observed that edge delamination grew before or simultaneously with transverse crack propagation at a low applied stress and high-cycle loading. In addition, the critical transverse crack density where delamination begins growing was calculated to evaluate the interaction between transverse crack and edge delamination growth. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

    International Journal of Fatigue   32 ( 1 ) 29 - 36  2010.01  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    High-cycle fatigue features of over 108 cycles, particularly the initiation and propagation of edge delamination considering the effects of transverse cracks, were investigated using quasi-isotropic carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with a stacking sequence of [45/0/-45/90]s in this study. In the relationship between a transverse crack density and initiation and growth of edge delamination, it was found that fatigue damage growth behavior varied depending on applied stress. It was observed that edge delamination initiated and grew at parts where transverse cracks were dense at ordinary applied stress, whereas it was observed that edge delamination grew before or simultaneously with transverse crack propagation at a low applied stress and high-cycle loading.

     View Summary

    The high-cycle fatigue characteristics focused on the behavior of the transverse crack growth up to 108 cycles were investigated using quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates whose stacking sequence was [-45/0/45/90]s. To assess the fatigue behavior in the high-cycle region, fatigue tests were conducted at a frequency of 100 Hz in addition to 5 Hz. In this study, to evaluate quantitative characteristics of the transverse crack growth in the high-cycle region, the energy release rate considering the free-edge effect was calculated. Transverse crack growth behavior was evaluated based on a modified Paris law approach. The results revealed that transverse crack growth was delayed under the test conditions of the applied stress level of σmax/σb = 0.2. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    DTIP of MEMS and MOEMS - Symposium on Design, Test, Integration and Packaging of MEMS/MOEMS     197 - 201  2009  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In order to develop a new structure microwave probe, the fabrication of the atomic force microscope (AFM) probe on a GaAs wafer was studied and characteristics of the AFM probe with different nanostructural metal coating were evaluated in order to understand the performance of the probe for the topography of materials and the propagation of microwave signals. The fabricated probe had a tip of 8 ìm high and curvature radius approximately 30 nm. The dimensions of the cantilever are 250×30×15 ìm. A waveguide was introduced by the sputtering and the electron beam (EB) evaporation technique on the top and bottom surfaces of the GaAs AFM probe with Au or Al film. The open structure of the waveguide at the tip of the probe was introduced by using focused ion beam (FIB) fabrication. AFM topography of a grating sample was measured by using each fabricated probe. It was found that the fabricated probes coated with the Au or Al film have nanometer order resolution. Moreover, using the Au-coating probe formed by the EB evaporation technique, microwave emission was detected successfully at the tipof the probe by approaching an Au film sample. ©EDA Publishing/DTIP 2009.

  • Variations of Fatigue damage growth in cross-ply and quasi-isotropic laminates under high-cycle fatigue loading

    Atsushi Hosoi, Narumichi Sato, Jiadi Shi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Journal of Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering   3 ( 2 ) 138 - 149  2009  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The behavior of transverse crack growth and delamination growth under high-cycle fatigue loadings was investigated with cross-ply CFRP laminates, [0/902]s and [0/906]s, and quasi-isotropic CFRP laminates, [45/0/-45/90]s. As a result, it was observed that the behavior of damage growth was different depending on the applied stress level. The growth of local or edge delamination was exacerbated under the test conditions of a low applied stress level and high-cycle loadings, because the areas of stress concentration were applied with high-cyclic loadings. On the other hand, when the fatigue tests were conducted under the applied stress level of 40% of the transverse crack initiation, the growth of transverse cracks was hardly observed until 108 cycles with [0/902]s, [0/906]s and [45/0/-45/90]s laminates.

  • Stress analysis of laminates of carbon fiber reinforced plastics, containing transverse cracks, considering free-edge effect and residual thermal stress

    Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada

    Materials Science and Engineering A   498 ( 1-2 ) 69 - 75  2008.12  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A variational approach is presented to evaluate the 3-dimensional stress state in cross-ply laminates of the form [(S)/90n]s that contain transverse cracks in the 90° plies, where (S) is any orthotropic sublaminate. Admissible stress states that satisfy equilibrium and all boundary and interface conditions are constructed, and the principle of minimum complementary energy is employed to find an optimal approximation of the composite strain energy. Using this method of analysis, we can express the stress state by considering the free-edge effect, which causes edge delamination in cracked laminates. The calculated results using the proposed model showed good agreement with the results calculated by the finite element method. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

     View Summary

    High-cycle fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates [-45/0/45/90]s up to 108 cycles were investigated. To assess the fatigue behavior in the high-cycle region, fatigue tests were conducted at a frequency of 100 Hz, since it is difficult to investigate the fatigue characteristics in high-cycle at 5 Hz. Then, the damage behavior of the specimen was observed with a microscope, soft X-ray photography and a 3D ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, to evaluate quantitative characteristics of both transverse crack propagation and delamination growth in the high-cycle region, the energy release rate associated with damage growth in the width direction was calculated. Transverse crack propagation and delamination growth in the width direction were evaluated based on a modified Paris law approach. The results revealed that transverse crack propagation delayed under the test conditions of less than σ © 2007 VSP. max/σ b = 0.3 of the applied stress level. © 2007 VSP.

  • Interaction between transverse cracks and edge delamination considering free-edge effects in composite laminates

    Atsushi Hosoi, Shinako Yagi, Keiichi Nagata, Hiroyuki Kawada

    ICCM International Conferences on Composite Materials    2007  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The high-cycle fatigue characteristics, especially the initiation and propagation of edge delamination, were investigated with quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates with a stacking sequence of [45/0/-45/90]S. To investigate the influence that transverse cracks have on the initiation and propagation of edge delamination, two types of specimens are used. One was a specimen where transverse cracks were arbitrarily introduced by static tensile loading before conducting the fatigue tests. The other was an undamaged specimen as new. As a result, it was found that the single transverse crack introduced before the fatigue test did not seriously affect the initiation of edge delamination. Moreover, the difference of the fatigue damage growth behavior depending on the applied stress level was observed. Under the test conditions of low-applied stress level and high-cyclic loadings, it was observed that the edge delamination grew before, or simultaneously with, the transverse crack propagation.

  • Fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic CFRP laminates subjected to variable amplitude cyclic two-stage loading

    Atsushi Hosoi, Hiroyuki Kawada, Hiromichi Yoshino

    International Journal of Fatigue   28 ( 10 SPEC. ISS. ) 1284 - 1289  2006.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    In this study the fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastics laminates subjected to variable amplitude cyclic two-stage loading were investigated. The cumulative damage was evaluated by considering residual strength as a parameter since the Linear Cumulative Damage rule, i.e., the Palmgren-Miner rule, did not show good agreement. Further, the internal microscopic damage was observed with an optical microscope. As a result, it was found that cumulative damage subjected to variable amplitude cyclic loading could be expressed by considering residual strength. Additionally, we were able to predict the fatigue life of laminates subjected to variable amplitude cyclic two-stage loading. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

     View Summary

    Long-term durability of polymer-matrix composites (PMCs) in hostile environments is described. Characteristics of a stress-corrosion crack in glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP), creep fracture in unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) and predictions of a variable loading fatigue life in CFRP laminates are the main topics of this paper. To enhance the performance of the PMCs as structural materials, many improvements are achieved so far. Characterization of mechanical properties under the hostile environments is still need for the studies. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Proceedings of the 2005 SEM Annual Conference and Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics     1729 - 1736  2005  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    This paper describes the high-cycle fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic CFRP laminates [-45/0/45/90] s up to 10 8 cycles. To investigate the fatigue behavior in the high-life region, the fatigue tests were conducted with the frequency of 100Hz since it's difficult to conduct the tests with 5Hz. Then, the damage behavior of the specimen was observed with a microscope, a soft X-ray photography and a 3D ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, to evaluate quantitative characteristics of each the transverse crack propagation and the delamination growth in the high-cycle region, the energy release rate associated with damage growth to the width direction was calculate. The transverse crack propagation and the delamination growth to the width direction were evaluated based on a modified Paris-law approach. As the results, it was found that transverse crack propagation didn't depend on the frequency within the small temperature change and it was observed that delamination growth delayed with the test condition of less than σ max/σ b=0.3 of the applied stress level.

     View Summary

    With the aim of improving the mechanical properties of composite materials by nano reinforcement, we have constructed a process for mass production of graphene, which is one of the nanomaterials. Graphene is obtained by exfoliating graphite to form a thin layer. The liquid-phase-exfoliation method, which exfoliates graphite in a liquid to extract graphene, is the cheapest way to mass-produce graphene. In this study, we found that as a pretreatment method for the liquid phase exfoliation method, graphite is exfoliated and dispersed so that it dissolves in the liquid by mechanochemical reaction of salts and graphite via a ball mill. This made it possible to disperse graphene in a low boiling point solvent, and it was confirmed that the use of soluble graphene further improved the mechanical properties of the fiber reinforced plastic.

    In this study, accelerated fatigue tests of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy laminates were conducted by applying an ultrasonic fatigue testing technique that is used for very high cycle fatigue testing of metals, and the fatigue behavior of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy laminates in the very high cycle region was investigated. The matrix crack initiation life in 90 degree lamina and fatigue failure life for a quasi-isotropic laminate and a cross-ply laminate were obtained up to the very high cycle region by using an ultrasonic fatigue testing machine. As a result, it was revealed that the fatigue strengths of matrix crack initiation life and fatigue failure life continued to drop in the very high cycle region, and thus so-called fatigue limit was not observed.

     View Summary

    Fatigue damage and crack healing of metallic materials were achieved by controlling high-density current field, and its mechanism was investigated. It was found that the growth of extrusion on the surface of metallic materials could be retarded by applying high-density current. It was shown that the current application could reduce the atomic vacancy density by acting on atomic vacancies in the channel of the PSB, and thus suppress the growth of the extrusion. It was also shown that the effect of pulsed current on fatigue cracks is to reduce the stress intensity factor by acting on the thermal compressive stress around the crack, resulting in crack closure and inter-plane bridging.

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study was to establish a dissimilar bonding technology for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) laminates and metallic materials with nanostructures. The fracture toughness of the interface was significantly increased in specimens with interfacial nanostructure. The fracture surface observation revealed that the fracture mode changes from brittle fracture to ductile fracture. The results of crack propagation simulation showed that the crack propagation of the specimen with nanostructure was similar to the fracture mode in the plane stress state, which was suggested to be due to the decrease of stress triaxiality near the crack tip by the nanostructure.

    The purpose of this study was to establish a fatigue crack healing technology by atomic diffusion for SS400 rolled carbon steel and SUS 316 stainless steel. By controlling the heat treatment conditions under a vacuum or reducing environment, solid phase diffusion occurred between the crack surfaces at the same time as removing the oxide film on the crack surfaces. Consequently, the fatigue crack was healed. In addition, it was suggested that the plasticity-induced crack closure, which occurs by introduction of a fatigue crack, is related as the driving force of the crack healing.

    A technique was developed to heal a fatigue crack in stainless steel by controlling a high-density electric current field. From the experimental results, it was observed that the crack closure and the bridging between the surfaces of a crack were caused around the vicinity of the crack tip after high density pulse current was applied to a specimen. It was shown that crack propagation was delayed temporarily in the healed specimen. Moreover, by removing oxide membrane and coating the metal protection film for preventing re-oxidation on the crack surfaces, the crack closure and the bridging were promoted, and the branched small crack was healed completely by application of current.

    炭素繊維強化プラスチック(CFRP)積層板は,高強度・高剛性など優れた機械的特性を有し,かつ軽量であるため,航空機の1次構造材料に適用されるなど,今後は自動車や高速鉄道車両など,金属に替わる構造材料としての適用が期待されている.CFRP積層板は一般に疲労に強い材料として知られているが,10^7サイクルを超える超長寿命域における損傷成長挙動について十分な評価は未だなされておらず,構造材料としての長期信頼性が確立されていない現状にある.これまでの研究で,高サイクル疲労領域におけるCFRP積層板の損傷進展挙動は,従来と異なる破壊形態を示すことを明らかとした.しかし,従来と異なる損傷の進展挙動については,未だ定量的評価はなされていなかった,そこで,本研究では,高サイクル疲労領域における実験データを蓄積するとともに,高サイクル疲労領域におけるCFRP積層板の損傷をモデル化し,その進展挙動について定量的に評価を行うことを目的とした.
    まず,負荷応力レベルに依存したCFRP積層板の損傷形態の違いについて定量的に評価を行った.層内樹脂割れ(トランスバースクラック)を考慮した層間剥離進展について,単位長さ当たりの損傷進展に伴い解放されるエネルギを導出した.さらに,Paris則を応用して損傷進展速度と損傷進展に伴い解放されるエネルギの関係について,トランスバースクラック進展及び層間剥離進展のそれぞれを定量的に評価した.その結果,低エネルギレベル(低応力レベル)域では層間剥離が進展しやすく,高エネルギレベル(高応力レベル)域ではトランスバースクラックが進展しやすい結果を得た.この結果は,実験結果とよい一致を示した.また,破断応力の20%を最大応力に設定した疲労試験では,繰返し数3×10^8サイクルまで,損傷は観察されなかった.

     View Summary

    <p>CuO nanowires are known to have excellent electrochemical properties and can be produced by various methods. Among them a method which directly heat either the Si wafer with Cu layer or pure copper plate so called the thermal oxidation method has lately been drawing attention. However, during its production, interfacial delamination between the Cu layer and the wafer has always been an issue. In this study, the mechanism of interfacial delamination was experimentally elucidated by comparing a Si wafer with Cu layer deposited by electron beam evaporation with a pure copper plate. As a result, it was found that the deposited Cu layer decreased with increasing heating time of the Si wafer production. Moreover, the disappearance of the Cu layer and Cu2O layer on the Si wafer was found in the specimens with a heating time of 6 hours. It was suggested that this disappearance would form an opening between the CuO layer and the Si wafer leading to the delaminating of the interface between the oxide film and the wafer. The disappearance also suggested that the length and density of the CuO nanowires in the specimens with a heating time of 6 hours were minimized. As for the pure copper plate, the disappearance of the Cu layer and Cu2O layer was not seen regardless of the heating time, therefore there was no interfacial delamination and it was able to produce CuO nanowires at a high density.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>For further application of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs), it is necessary to obtain fatigue properties up to very high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime. In this paper, CFRP laminates were subjected to fatigue test up to 109 cycle using an ultrasonic fatigue test machine in order to evaluate the transverse crack initiation life of laminates and the propagation behavior. In this experiment, T800S/2592 prepreg used as the cross-ply [0/906]s laminates. Using an ultrasonic fatigue test machine tension-compression fatigue tests were conducted with stress ratio of R= -1 at a frequency of 20kHz. The specimen dimension was determined by finite element analysis to resonance at the vicinity of the test frequency. It was found that the test was carried out as designed, since the temperature distribution obtained by IR-thermography camera and the displacement measurement by the Laser Doppler vibrometer showed close agreement with the finite element analysis result. It was confirmed that the slope of the S-N diagram would be gradual in the VHCF regime.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>In this study, graphene oxide was grafted to carbon fibers using chemical bonding and Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) to improve the properties of the fiber / resin interface. Graphene oxide grafted on the surface of fibers is expected to improve the mechanical properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRPs) by improving the adhesion and its interlock to resin. At that time, the influence of the grafted graphene oxide on the mechanical properties was investigated. As a result, it was confirmed that the interface properties of the fiber were improved without the fiber strength decreasing by the grafting. In particular, the interface shear strength showed the highest value even under the preparation conditions where a uniform graft morphology was observed, and showed an increase of 41.5% compared to the untreated fiber. Finally, the improvement mechanism of the interface properties was examined. It was suggested that the main factor of the improvement was that graphene oxide was dispersed in resin around the fiber and the physical property of the resin is improved.</p>

The specimens bonded using the proposed direct bonding method are found to show significantly stronger bonding properties than the considered adhesively bonded specimens. The interface properties are further investigated by extracting the cohesive traction-separation behaviour from DCB and ENF experimental tests and used in the finite element software ABAQUS to simulate the interface behaviour. Good agreement between experiments and simulation is found for the DCB tests, however poor agreement is found for the ENF tests due to significant plastic deformation of the aluminium adherend occurring prior to and during crack propagation. Thus, plasticity will have to be avoided or taken into account in future studies, which is ongoing work.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>It is important to enhance the fatigue life of machines and structures to prevent unexpected fracture. The technique which has influence on plastic deformation in slip bands formed in fatigue loading has been developed. Fatigue test of brass, C2600, was conducted in two stress amplitude level (σA/σB=0.4, σA/σB=0.8), and slip offset transition was measured by atomic force microscope. In this study, to investigate the effect of electric pulse current, electric pulse current of 50A/mm2 was applied to specimens in the interval of fatigue test. As a result, in case of no pulse current, slip offset transition was continued to grow and grow rapidly when reached to specific number of cycle in both of stress amplitude level. On the other hand, when pulse current was applied slip offset in low stress amplitude(σA/σB=0.4) was tended to decrease and slip offset in high stress amplitude(σA/σB=0.8) did not grow rapidly. A slip band was emerged when pulse current was applied. So that, it is suggested that electric pulse current affected plastic deformation of a slip band. This effect could be caused by compression stress of Joule heating around dislocations and shear stress by electron wind force.</p>

    Transactions of the JSME (in Japanese)   85 ( 874 ) 19 - 00029-19-00029  2019

     View Summary

    <p>Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have remarkable mechanical properties and low density. Since length of the CNT is limited, CNT yarn is regarded as a reinforced fiber of carbon fiber reinforced plastics. However, the CNT yarn does not have remarkable mechanical properties such as the individual CNT. The most popular way for improving the mechanical properties of the CNT yarn is to make composites with polymer such as polyvinyl alcohol or polyimide. If some functional groups such as carboxyl groups are introduced on the surface of CNTs, interaction between the CNTs and the polymer is improved and high mechanical properties will be obtained. In this study, untwisted CNT yarns were prepared by drawing vertical aligned CNTs through a die and functionalized with mixed acid. Mixed acid introduced not only the functional groups but also defects on the surface of CNTs. For reducing the defects, the CNT yarn was graphitized at a temperature of 2800°C before the mixed acid treatment. By the graphitization treatment, crystallinity of the CNT yarn was improved and amorphous carbon was removed. As a result of XPS analysis, a graphitized CNT yarn treated with mixed acid did not contain the functional groups. On the other hand, a graphitized CNT yarn treated with hot mixed acid (90°C) contained the functional groups. Crystallinity of this yarn was 4.5 times higher than the as-received CNT yarn. In addition, as a result of single fiber tensile tests, tensile strength of this yarn was increased by 79 % and Young's modulus was increased by 173 % compared to the as-received CNT yarn.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>Carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn is enables CNTs to be used on macro scale. However, the mechanical properties of CNT yarns are smaller than CNT itself, and improvement of the mechanical properties is a challenge for practical application. In this study, untwisted CNT yarns were fabricated by a dry spinning method, and the yarns were graphitized and combined with polymer for the purpose of development of CNT yarns with high strength. As a result of the graphitized treatment to the as-received yarns under inert atmosphere at 2800°C, impure materials and defect structure on CNTs were removed and strength of the yarn was increased by 19%. After combining the as-received yarns with polyacrylic acid (PAA), the strength was increased by 174% and reached 2.3 GPa. Breaking form of the yarns were changed from pulling out of CNT bundles to rapture of CNT bundles by graphitization and combining with PAA, indicating an increase interactive force between the CNT bundles. However, the strengthening effect was limited when graphitized CNT yarns were combined with PAA. As a result of molecular dynamics simulations, it was revealed force transfer capability of PAA was low when the graphitized yarns was combined with PAA. There were functional groups on as-received CNT such as carboxyl groups. On the other hand, the functional groups were removed from CNTs after the graphitization treatment. Consequently, interaction such as hydrogen bond between as-received CNT and PAA was removed by the graphitization, and it lead to the decrease of the force transfer capability of PAA.</p>

  • Evaluation of static tensile strength and fatigue strength degradation of plain woven CFRP laminates under seawater immersion

    KOSHIMA Shuhei, KAJII Norihiro, HOSOI Atsushi, KAWADA Hiroyuki

    Transactions of the JSME (in Japanese)   85 ( 871 ) 18 - 00435-18-00435  2019

     View Summary

    <p>Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are widely used as components of marine structures. Thus, it is important to understand the degradation of the mechanical properties and its mechanism under seawater immersion. The object of this study is the influence of seawater immersion on the mechanical properties of plain woven CFRP laminates. Static tensile test and tensile fatigue test were carried out on the CFRP immersed different time under seawater for 300, 2500 and 5400 hours. The mechanical properties immersed for 300 hours was almost the same value compared with those of no immersion. However, the tensile strength immersed for both 2500 and 5400 hours reduced by 22.5% compared with that of no immersion. Then, from the fatigue results, in the low-cycle fatigue region, the fatigue strengths decreased as immersion time was longer, on the other hand, in the high-cycle fatigue region, the fatigue strength did not change significantly regardless of immersion time. As a result, the inclination of S-N curves became gentle as immersion time was longer. From observation of fracture surfaces by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was shown that the fiber/matrix interface deteriorated remarkably after seawater immersion. Moreover, the difference of damage growth behaviors due to immersed in seawater under fatigue loading was investigated using soft X-ray photography. On specimen immersed in seawater, the accumulation of damage expanded more widely due to interface degradation compared with that of no immersion. Considering these results, it was suggested that the static tensile strength depended on load transmission efficiency between fiber and matrix, on the other hand, the fatigue strength in high cycle fatigue region depended on the strength of fiber along 0° that had small influences by seawater immersion.</p>

    <p>Tensile strength properties in the transverse direction of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) laminates with in situ polymerizable phenoxy resin were evaluated. The unidirectional [90]14 laminates were formed using the prepreg, NS-TEPreg. By changing the conditions of fabricating CFRTP laminates, the void content in the laminates and the degree of polymerization of the matrix resin were varied. As the results of tensile tests and image analysis, it was revealed that when the void content inside the laminates is 0.5% or less, the influence of the void on tensile strength properties becomes limited. Also, as the results of measuring the average molecular weight of CFRTP laminates, it became clear that the transverse tensile strength σbT and transverse failure strain εbT increase as the average molecular weight of the matrix resin increases.</p>

It was found that the resistance of the fatigue crack growth after crack healing was larger as the effect of the plasticity induced crack closure was larger.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>The energy absorbing performance of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics was evaluated by progressive crushing tests with the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. Two types of specimens, one was injection molded glass long fiber reinforced polyamide 66 (GF/PA66), the other was twill weave glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (GF/PA6), were prepared as specimens. As for injection molded plates of the GF/PA66, it was investigated the influence of the fiber orientation on the impact mechanical behavior of the test specimen cut out from the different position of the plate. Also, the impact behavior of injection molded the GF/PA66 plates and that of twill weave GF/PA6 laminates were compared in order to investigate the influence of the variation of reinforcing types. As a result of the progressive crushing tests at -30, 23, 90°C, it is revealed that the energy absorbing performance has no temperature dependency regardless of the fiber orientation and the reinforcing types. The reason that the SEA of the GF/PA66 increases with the mechanical properties was discussed from the comparison of the specific energy absorption (SEA) and the compressive strength. In the comparison of injection molded the GF/PA66 and the GF/PA6 laminates, the specimens were reinforced by the different mechanisms; therefore, it seems that influence of mechanical properties on the SEA is not critical because those fracture modes are different.</p>

    The Proceedings of the Materials and Mechanics Conference   2017 ( 0 ) OS1009  2017

     View Summary

    <p>In recent years, applications of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) to large marine structures are expected to improve their performances due to the high specific strength and stiffness and the corrosion resistance. However, the creep lifetime of FRPs in seawater environment has not been made clear so far. Objective of this study is to predict the creep lifetime of FRPs in seawater environment based on the accelerated test results and reveal the fracture mechanism. In this study, creep tests were carried out using the plain-woven GFRP and CFRP laminates under seawater environment and time-temperature superposition principle (TTSP) was used to predict the long-term creep rupture life. It was shown that the rupture time decreased with increase of the seawater temperature and the applied stress, and it was suggested that decrease of the strength was mainly caused by degradation of the interfacial shear strength between the fibers and the matrix. By using Larson-Miller parameter (LMP) as time-temperature parameter, the analytical results showed good agreement with the experimental results. For the GFRP laminates, behavior of the prediction curves varied in the lower applied stress because the glass fibers deteriorated in seawater. On the other hand, deterioration of carbon fibers was not observed in seawater so that the rupture time showed a consistent tendency to decrease for the CFRP laminates.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>Ni-base superalloy Inconel 718 is used in structural members of aircraft engine parts. Its mechanical properties are deteriorated due to fatigue cracks at high temperature environment, but the processability of the material is poor and it is not easy to repair micro cracks. In this study, the fatigue crack healing technique for Inconel 718 was developed by controlling heating and cooling conditions in a furnace. Especially, the effect of the atmosphere on the fatigue crack healing was investigated. After the pre-fatigue crack was introduced using compact tension (CT) specimens, they were heated in vacuum or hydrogen atmosphere for the crack healing. The behavior of fatigue crack growth was evaluated before and after crack healing. As a result, the fatigue crack was successfully healed by heat treatment in hydrogen atmosphere whereas it was not healed in vacuum. The dimples which were characteristic fracture patterns in solid diffusion bonding were observed on the fracture surface of fatigue crack after crack healing treatment in hydrogen atmosphere. Thus, it was thought that the fatigue crack was healed because the hydrogen gas that has strong reduction power removed oxide film on the crack surfaces and solid diffusion bonding caused between the crack surfaces.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>It is important to enhance the fatigue life of machines and structures to prevent their accidents. The healing technique of fatigue crack in metallic materials by heat treatment has been developed. A pre-fatigue crack was introduced using a compact tension (CT) specimen of austenitic stainless steel, SUS316, and the fatigue crack growth behavior was investigated before and after crack healing heat treatment. In this study, to investigate the effects of cooling atmosphere and rate on the crack healing treatment, air cooling, N2 gas cooling, rapid cooling in vacuum and slow cooling in vacuum were applied to the specimens. As the results, the healing effect was improved in the specimen cooled rapidly in a vacuum furnace. It was thought that the fatigue crack was healed during cooling process because the fatigue crack healing by air cooling was not done enough due to the oxidization on the crack surfaces. The healed crack length under the condition of slowly cooling in vacuum was improved. It was thought that there was longer time for atomic diffusion between the crack surfaces. U-shape boundary was observed on the fracture surface of the fatigue crack after the crack healing. The detailed observation with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the U-shape boundary corresponded to the healed area on the fracture surface. This result suggested that the plasticity induced crack closure caused by fatigue crack growth was one of the driving forces for the crack healing.</p>

     View Summary

    <p>The influence of long-term seawater immersion on the mechanical properties of plain woven CFRP laminates was evaluated by static tensile and tension fatigue tests. These tests were carried out on the CFRP immersed different time under seawater: 2566 hours and 4967 hours. The mechanical properties of the specimen for 2566 hours immersion decreased drastically; the tensile strength, the elastic modules and the fatigue strength at 106 cycles reduced by 21.3%, 12.3% and 30.7% compared with those of no immersion specimen, respectively. On the other hand, after 4967 hours immersion, it was found that the mechanical properties decreased slightly. From observation of the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), it was clear that morphology of the fiber/matrix interface varied with the immersion time. However, there was a small difference on the interface fracture surface between 2566 hours and 4967 hours. These results indicated that degradation of the fiber/matrix interface progressed dramatically by 2566 hours, and after that, interface degradation gradually converged. Damage growth behavior under fatigue loadings was investigated by non-destructive inspections using soft X-ray photography and ultrasonic inspection. At first, matrix cracks occurred along 90° and ±45° fiber directions. After that, delamination occurred originating from the matrix crack. Then, these damages expanded as the number of cycles increased, and finally, the specimen broke as the longitudinal fiber in the 0°/90° layers damaged.</p>

    <p>Recently, Indium tin oxide (ITO) has been widely used as transparent conductive films (TCFs) in various electronic devices. However, ITO has many drawbacks such as high cost and brittleness. Nowadays, graphene is the ideal alternative for ITO because of its excellent transparency, electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility by the effect of sp2 hybridized orbital. However, the electrical properties of graphene TCFs are inferior to those of ITO so additional processing to improve electrical properties is required. Achieving the purpose, there is a number of studies on composite graphene and conductive materials such as Ag. And now, new simple, low-cost methods are required. In this study, we used the liquid plasma method to combine graphene and Ag. This is a low-cost, simple method for the hybridization. Then we made graphene / Ag hybridized TCFs using thin layer graphene-supported Ag and evaluated some characteristics. Finally, we acquired transmittance and sheet resistance of the graphene / Ag hybridized TCFs.</p>

Static tensile tests for the cross-ply laminates and the 90° unidirectional laminates were carried out at room temperature and high temperature (366K). The transverse cracks were observed by soft X-ray photography. In consequence, the tensile strength and the failure strain in the cross-ply laminates and the 90° unidirectional laminates at 366K decreased compared to the values at room temperature. It was also found that the behavior of initiation and propagation of the transverse cracks in the cross-ply laminates was changed due to the environment temperature. Fiber-matrix interfacial fracture on the fracture surface of the 90° unidirectional laminates was observed in some areas at high temperature whereas matrix fracture was observed at room temperature. Therefore, it was suggested that the interface strength between polymer and fiber was decreased at high temperature.</p>

In the LPE, method of making graphite oxide and peeling graphite is often used, but this method has problem that falling down conductivity due to structural defect in graphene. In this study, we used pressure homogenizer to obtain thin-layer graphene without using chemical treatment. Then, we made TCFs by using thin-layer graphene and evaluated some characteristics. Finally, we investigated transmittance and sheet resistance of the TCFs.</p>

However, since the length of CNT-Cu conductors was limited to several hundred μm long, the problem that using CNT with high electrical properties macroscopically remains to be solved. Therefore, in this study, untwisted CNT yarn was prepared by drawing multiwall carbon nanotube through die and was electroplated to realize metal CNT composite yarn with high electric conductivity and current capacity. For the influence of copper oxide layer, the electrical property of copper CNT composite yarn (CNT-Cu) showed a poor improvement from the untreated CNT yarn. On the other hand, both conductivity and current capacity of gold CNT composite yarn (CNT-Au) showed a higher value by the heat treating at 800°C, comparing with that of untreated CNT-Au.</p>

Therefore, the technique of healing fatigue cracks in metallic materials was developed by heat treatment. In this study, the effect of the cooing rate during crack healing treatment on the properties of fatigue crack growth was investigated using austenitic stainless steel, SUS316, and low carbon steel, S25C. The specimens were cooled with nitrogen gas or oil to evaluate the effect of cooling rate. As a result, the crack healing effect of SUS316 was improved by rapid cooling with oil. Although the delay of crack growth of S25C was observed, the cause was due to the change of the metallographic structure by rapid cooling. The dimples were observed on the fracture surface of fatigue crack after crack healing treatment. Thus, it was thought that the crack healing was caused by solid diffusion bonding.</p>

     View Summary

    It is well known that grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the reinforced fiber surface modifies fiber/matrix interface adhesion. In this study, the mechanical properties of unidirectional FRP using the CNT-grafted pitch-based carbon fiber were investigated. CNTs were grafted on the pitch-based carbon fiber surface using thermal chemical deposition (TCVD) method at 750℃. First, the single fiber tensile tests were conducted to examine the mechanical properties of the CNT-grafted carbon fibers. From the results, the mechanical properties of the CNT-grafted carbon fiber were decreased compared with as-received fiber. This degradation was caused by an exposure of the carbon fiber surface and a dissolution of iron particles into the carbon fiber surfaces under the high temperature condition of TCVD method. Moreover, static tensile tests were performed in unidirectional CFRP to investigate the mechanical properties of the CNT-grafted unidirectional CFRP. For these tests, specimens with fibers oriented at longitudinal (0°) or transverse (90°) angle from the load direction were prepared. From the results, the mechanical properties of the CNT-grafted unidirectional CFRP were decreased in longitudinal direction compared with as-received CFRP due to the degradation of the mechanical properties in CNT-grafted carbon fibers. On the other hand, it was revealed that the mechanical properties of the CNT-grafted unidirectional CFRP were increased in transverse direction compared with as-received CFRP. This enhancement was mainly due to a relaxation of stress concentration at the edge of carbon fiber by the constitution of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites around the carbon fibers.

     View Summary

    An effect of compressive loads on the out-of-plane fatigue properties of thick CFRP laminates with the toughened interlaminar layers was investigated. The unidirectional [O_<88>] and quasi-isotropic [45/0/-45/90]_<11s> laminates were fabricated using T800S/3900-2B prepreg. This prepreg is constituted of a fiber layer and an interlaminar toughened layer in which polyamide particles are dispersed uniformly. The spool shaped specimens which were machined from the thick laminates were loaded in the out-of-plane direction of the specimen. The fatigue tests were performed at three types of stress ratios of R= 0.1, -1 and -3. As the results of the fatigue tests, it was conformed that the fatigue life was reduced with the compressive load under same maximum stress. In addition, the effect of the stress ratio on the fatigue life was dependent on the laminate configuration. When the cyclic loading at R= -3 were applied in the unidirectional specimen, the shear fracture mode was observed in the high-cycle region.

    In this study, we synthesized cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNT) supported platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) using liquid phase plasma treatment, and morphology, particle size distribution and supported amount of the PtNPs supported onto the CSCNT were investigated. PtNPs were supported onto the CSCNT surfaces using liquid phase plasma treatment after adsorption of Pt precursor onto the CSCNT surfaces. First, observation of the CSCNT surfaces with field-emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM) were conducted to examine the morphology of the PtNPs supported onto the CSCNT surfaces. PtNPs were well anchored and uniformly dispersed on the CSCNT surfaces without any dispersion stabilizer due to an exposure of the dangling bonds of graphene sheet which has high chemical reaction field. Moreover, the PtNPs size distribution of the CSCNT supported PtNPs were investigated with FETEM images of the CSCNT surfaces. The average size of PtNPs supported onto the CSCNT surfaces was about 2.2 nm, which was smaller than the PtNPs of conventional electrode catalysts for PEFC (3〜5 nm). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the CSCNT supported PtNPs were performed to investigate the supported amount of Pt of the CSCNT supported PtNPs. The supported amount of Pt was about 14.7 wt%, which was smaller than the PtNPs of conventional electrode catalysts for PEFC (50〜60 wt%).

    Recently, it has been reported that the microwave gives an effect to an interatomic force in local area among materials. Therefore, it is thought that an identification of materials and an evaluation of electrical characteristics become possible by clarifying the relation between microwave and interatomic force. So, we investigated interatomic force under the tip of microwave-AFM probe by focusing on the force-distance curve measurement using microwave-AFM as the first step. This paper describes the method and the results of the force-distance curve measurement on the sample of Au, Si, and glass. Results of this experiment indicate actually that microwave works as a force that amplifies the attractive force and the effect of microwave is different among samples which have different electric conductivities.

    This research aims to find nondestructive and noncontact technique to detect the degree of pipe wall thinning. Microwaves, which have high sensitivity and resolution, are expected to be able to detect and evaluate pipe wall thinning. A microwave vector network analyzer to generate microwave signals and a waveguide sensor to transmit and receive were employed in this experiment where the frequency was swept in K-band (18 to 26 GHz). By analyzing the frequency domain response of the signals and extracting the shift of resonance frequency that corresponds to the pipe wall thickness reduction, evaluation of the pipe wall thinning degrees was realized. It was confirmed that the results obtained by this experiment are good agreement with the results obtained by our previous method. It was found that there is a liner relationship between a resonance frequency and wall thinning volumes. Our results demonstrate the importance and plausibility of microwave-based detection technique for remote monitoring wall thinning in metal pipeline in industry.

    GaAs has characteristics which are a high-speed operation and low power consumption. So, GaAs is applied as a material of circuit elements and substrate of integrated circuit. When a devise is designed with a semiconductor material, electrical properties as carrier concentration, resistivity and mobility are important factors. A technique for accurately measuring those values is required. In this study, we attempted to evaluate resistivity and mobility of GaAs by microwave inspection method which can inspect a specimen with non-contact. The method can evaluate resistivity because amplitude of microwave reflected from a specimen is changed by conductivity of the specimen. In this paper, using the relationship of the electrical properties and Q factor, the electrical properties were evaluated. Linear relationships were observed in resistivity and Q factor obtained in the experiment. As the result, quantitative evaluation of resistivity and mobility with high precision were succeeded.

The furnace of CVD instruments was heated to the operating temperature of 780 ℃ under the Ar and H2 flow. Then C_2H_2 is introduced and CNT arrays were synthesized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the morphology and height of CNT arrays. This research checked how C_2H_2 concentration influence the CNT array growth and optimal ratio of C_2H_2 and H_2 was found around 1:7.5 to 1:5. The highest CNT array synthesized is 1190 μm. Besides, attempt to draw CNT sheet has been carried out but due to low alignment of CNT arrays it turned out to be a failure.

     View Summary

    Glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) is lightweight, inexpensive and high corrosion-resistance material. So, GFRP is used for the structural members such as aircrafts, ships and the blades of electric-generating windmills. However, GFRP is often generated delamination under service environment. Moreover, the delamination causes extreme reduction of compressive strength of the material. Thus, the nondestructive inspection method to detect delamination in GFRP is required. Ultrasonic inspection, infrared thermography and radiography have been studied to detect delamination. However, these inspection methods cannot evaluate the thickness of delamination whereas it is very important to evaluate the seriousness on strength. For the reason, in this study, we attempted to evaluate the thickness of delamination in GFRP by microwave inspection method. The method can evaluate the thickness of delamination in GFRP because microwave reflected from GFRP is changed by the thickness of internal delamination. In this paper, a theoretical model to derive reflectivity of GFRP having internal delamination was developed. Subsequently, the thickness of polyethylene film inserted in GFRP instead of delamination was evaluated from the comparison of a theoretical reflectivity and a calibrated experimental reflectivity. As the result, the potential of microwave inspection to evaluate a thickness of delamination in GFRP was presented.

    With the development of nanotechnology in recent years, many researchers have focused on the development of nanomaterials and nanostructures such as nanowires. To apply these nanomaterials and nanostructures into nanodevices, there are great needs of the quantitative measurement of electrical properties of materials in an infinitesimal area. Recently, we proposed a novel microwave atomic force microscopy (M-AFM). M-AFM probe was fabricated by forming a microwave transmission line on the probe cantilever. By combining the AFM technique with microwave-based measurement, M-AFM has the ability to sense the topography and microwave image simultaneously with a high spatial resolution. In this study, we tried to evaluate quantitatively electrical properties of single crystalline aluminum nanowire. Using M-AFM, both measurements of the surface topography and the microwave response of single crystalline aluminum nanowire were succeeded. As a result, the electrical property of microwave signals was detected as the difference of the voltage value.

     View Summary

    A method to predict quantitatively the initiation of a transverse crack caused in the various types of [0・90,1 cross-ply carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates subjected to fatigue loading was proposed. On the basis of the assumption that the mechanism of transverse crack initiation is equivalent to that of transverse crack increase in the earlier stage of fatigue within low transverse crack density, the cycles that a transverse crack initiates are calculated by applying the normalized modified Paris law, which shows the relationship between the transverse crack density growth rate and the normalized energy release rate range associated with the transverse crack formation. Once the constants of the normalized modified Paris law are given with an arbitrary cross-ply laminate, the proposed method makes possible to predict the initiation of a transverse crack in the other various types of cross-ply laminates under fatigue loading by only measuring the stress at which a transverse crack initiates under static tensile loading.

Au and glass samples were measured by the probes working at a noncontact AFM mode. The M-AFM probe with the nano slit having the width of 75nm, by which the difference of the measured voltage between Au and glass samples is 55.1mV, shows the highest sensitivity for detecting electrical properties of materials. As the result illustrated, the M-AFM probe with smaller width nano slit on the tip is considered to be an ideal nano structure.

As the experimental results, it was observed that the crack closure and the bridging on the crack surface at the vicinity of the crack tip were caused due to applying the high-density pulse current in the specimen. It was evaluated quantitatively by Paris law that the propagation of the healed fatigue crack delayed temporally.

     View Summary

    A technique to heal a fatigue crack in a stainless steel based on the control of the high-density electric current field was developed. The high-density electric current field was caused at the crack tip by applying a pulse current through the electrodes near the crack. The crack surface was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM) before and after the application of the high-density pulse current in order to examine the effect of the high-density electric current field on the fatigue crack. The experimental results show that the fatigue crack was closed and the surface having the slips at the vicinity of the crack tip became smoother by the electrical stimulation.

     View Summary

    To detect stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and evaluate its depth on the surface of Ni-base alloys, a microwave microscope was employed. An open-ended coaxial line sensor was used to increase the spatial resolution. The working frequency was 110GHz and the standoff distance between the sensor and the sample was 60μm. The shape of SCC was obtained by microwave imaging. By measuring the amplitude of reflection coefficient, detection of SCC was achieved and V-shaped and W-shaped characteristic signal was obtained. The distribution of SCC depth along the crack length was evaluated using the measured amplitude of reflection coefficient.

    The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting   2010 ( 0 ) 359 - 360  2010

     View Summary

    The initiation of a transverse crack in CFRP laminates under fatigue loading was investigated. Transverse cracks cause serious damage, such as delamination or fiber breakage. It is essential to understand the mechanism of the transverse crack onset for improving long-term durability and reliability of CFRP laminates. Therefore, a method to evaluate and predict the initiation of a transverse crack in cross-ply CFRP laminates under fatigue loading was researched. Fatigue tests at the various stress levels were performed in order to evaluate the initiation and propagation of the transverse cracks. The analytical method on the basis of Paris law in order to predict the number of cycles of transverse crack initiation was proposed. As the results, we were successful in predicting the initiation of the transverse crack under fatigue loadings by the proposed analysis.

     View Summary

    In order to develop a new structure microwave probe, the fabrication of the atomic force microscope (AFM) probe on a GaAs wafer was studied. The fabricated probe had a tip of 8 μ m high and curvature radius approximately 30 nm. The dimensions of the cantilever are 250x30x15 μm. A waveguide was introduced by evaporating Au film on the top and bottom surfaces of the GaAs AFM probe. The open structure of the waveguide at the tip of the probe was introduced by using focused ion beam (FIB) fabrication. To improve the resolution of AFM measurement, only the metal film was removed at the end of the probe tip. AFM topography of a grating sample was measured by the fabricated probe. As a result, it was found that the resolution of AFM measurement and the ratio of signal to noise were enhanced. Copyright © 2009 by ASME.

    In order to evaluate electrical properties in nanoscale, the new microwave atomic force microscope (M-AFM) probe was studied and the characteristics of the M-AFM probe were evaluated in order to understand the performance of the probe for the topography of materials and the sensitivity for detection of microwave signals. AFM topography of a grating sample was measured by using the fabricated probe. It was found that the fabricated probes have nanometer order resolution. In addition, the amplitude of the reflection coefficient of microwave was measured by approaching an Au-GaAs sample, which has different conductivity, respectively. As a result, the change of the microwave signals between Au and GaAs were observed. These results indicate that the fabricated M-AFM probe has the capacity of measuring the electrical properties of materials in nanoscale.

     View Summary

    In this study, initiation of transverse crack for CFRP cross-ply laminates was investigated at various stress levels during high-cycle fatigue tests. Internal damages were observed with soft X-ray photography at arbitrary loading cycles. A variation of transverse crack density and the local delamination length was evaluated as the fatigue damage progression. The stress in 90° layer considering local delamination length was calculated with a variational approach from the experimental data. It was clear from the results that as the applied maximum stress is set to lower, the saturated transverse crack density and 90° layer stress also lowers. Moreover, the fatigue limit of transverse crack initiation is indicated in this fatigue test conditions.

     View Summary

    Damage growth behavior of transverse crack and delamination in cyclic loading was studied with cross-ply laminates of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) composite. Damage of the specimens during the fatigue test was observed by soft X-ray photography. It was found that delamination growth behavior depended on the inter-laminer stress and the out-plane stress in thickness direction caused by free-edge effect. Quasi-isotropic, [45/0/-45/90]_s, laminates, are applied large peering stress at free edges of the specimen when the specimen is subjected to tensile stress. Therefore they showed edge delamination. On the other hands, cross-ply, [0/90_6]_s laminates, are applied large inter-laminer shear stress at transverse crack tips, and show local delamination originated by a transverse crack. Under the high-cycle loading, it was observed that depending on the applied stress level delamination growth behavior differed.

    A numerical study was performed on the fracture toughness test to obtain the critical strain energy release rate (G_<IC>) of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) laminates in wind turbine blade. Two-dimensional numerical analysis, based on an elastic finite element method (FEM) using the static explicit method and the cohesive damage model, was performed to simulate the fracture toughness test. The cohesive damage model used to predict the delamination occurrence and growth is based on a special developed interface finite element including an exponential damage process. The numerical prediction showed good agreement with the experimental results.

    The Proceedings of Conference of Kanto Branch   2006 ( 0 ) 363 - 364  2006

     View Summary

    This paper studies the effects of edge stitching on tensile fatigue properties of CFRP laminates. Fatigue damage development was investigated through experimental observation. From experimental observation results, it was shown that introduction of the stitch threads suppressed the initiation and propergation of the delamination. But the stitch thread broke in earlier stage under the high stress level cyclic loading. As a result, fatigue lives of the stitched laminates were shorter than that of the unstitched laminates. On the other hand, it was remarkable that the fatigue lives between the both laminates were almost equal due to the difference of internal damage propergation.

     View Summary

    This paper describes high-cycle fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic CFRP laminates [-45/0/45/90]_s to 10^8 cycles. To investigate the fatigue behavior in the high-life region, the fatigue tests were conducted with frequency of 100Hz since it's difficult to conduct its with 5Hz and the damage behavior of the specimen was observed with a microscope, a soft X-ray photography and a 3D ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, to evaluate quantitive characteristics of transverse crack propagation in the high-cycle region, the energy release rate associated with transverse crack growth to the width direction was calculated and the transverse crack growth to the width direction was evaluated based on a modified Paris-law approach.

     View Summary

    This paper presents characteristics of variable loading of the polymer matrix composites. The specimens were the quasi-isotropic graphite/epoxy laminates;[-45/0/45/90]s, tension-tension fatigue loading was applied on condition that stress ratio R equaled 0.1. It was found that S-N diagram was linear in the range of this study. Two-step fatigue damage loading was applied to investigate applicability of cumulative damage law. The results of fatigue tests were not good agreement with the Linear Cumulative Damage rule (LCD: Palmgren-Miner's rule) at the condition of the high-low and low-high sequences. Several tests were stopped before ultimate failure to investigate the residual strength; the availability of the residual strength as a paramater of cumulative damage rule was discussed.

    2023  

     View Summary

    繊維強化複合材料の破壊はマトリックスクラック,繊維破断,繊維/樹脂界面のはく離などの様々な要因によって引き起こされるため複雑である.デジタル画像相関(DIC)法は非破壊検査の1種であり,試験対象に付与されたスペクトルパターンから変位を計測する手法である.本研究ではDIC法を用いて短繊維複合材料(Short Fiber Reinforcedplastics : SFRPs)の疲労試験中のひずみ分布画像を取得し,損傷の進展を確認した.また,ひずみ分布画像を用いて深層畳み込みニューラルネットワーク(Deep Convolutional Neural Network: DCNN)による疲労寿命を予測し,その精度評価を実施した.DIC 法により取得されたひずみ分布画像から試験初期段階からひずみの極大値が複数個所確認され,破断サイクル比が 60%程度において破断部で最大ひずみが確認できた.また,ひずみ分布画像から試験片の3か所(標点間平均,中央部,破断部)のひずみ平均を算出し,剛性低下曲線を取得した.剛性低下曲線から破断部において剛性低下が顕著であることが確認でき,疲労試験中のひずみ分布画像は破断予測や疲労寿命予測に活用できることが確認された.また,疲労試験からDICを用いて取得されたひずみ分布画像を用いて,DCNN を用いた疲労寿命予測を実施した.本研究では DCNN の構造の一種である Xception を用いる.一般的な Xception は分類モデルであり,出力層が複数存在するが,本研究では出力層を1つに変更し回帰モデルとしている.また,各ひずみ分布画像に対して疲労寿命比(fatigue life ratio: flr)を定義した.4本の試験片のひずみ分布画像(511枚)をDCNN 学習させ,他の1本のひずみ分布画像(173 枚)でflrを予測した.また,Gradient-weighted ClassActivation Mapping(GradCAM)を用いてDCNNの注目領域を可視化した.RMSE=20.7であり,予測精度は低かったが,試験初期段階において破断領域を注目していることが確認された.目視では flr=70 程度で破断位置が確認できたが,DCNN モデル及びGrad-CAMを用いることで,flr=20 程度で破断位置が予測できる可能性があることが示された.

     View Summary

    高い比強度,比剛性,耐腐食性を持つ炭素繊維強化プラスチック(CFRP)の海水環境下での長期耐久性評価の必要性が高まっている.そこで本研究では,長期海水浸漬時におけるCFRPの劣化挙動評価及び劣化メカニズムの解明,寿命予測を定量的に行うことを目的とした.長期間海水に浸漬させたCFRPに対して様々な荷重条件のもと疲労試験を実施したところ,疲労寿命は大幅に低下していた.これは,海水浸漬によって繊維/樹脂界面の劣化によって界面強度が低下し,これに起因して強化繊維の荷重分担が出来なくなったことが原因である示唆された.また,これらの結果をもとに等寿命線図を作成し,海洋構造物における疲労寿命予測及び安全設計領域の評価を行った.

    2014  

     View Summary

    これまで,電流印加によるき裂修復方法を提案してきた.しかし,き裂進展遅延効果は30%程度であり十分な効果があるとは言えない.その原因として電流印加時に生じた引張残留応力がき裂の進展力を増加させ,電流印加のき裂面接合の効果を低減させていることが考えられる.そこで,本研究では電流印加によるき裂修復後,熱処理を施すことでき裂修復効果を向上することを目的とした.適切な熱処理を行うことでき裂治癒後に生じた引張残留応力の除去やき裂面間の金属原子の固相拡散を促進させ,格段にき裂面接合強度を発現させることに成功した.本技術により,健全材料と比較し約70%の強度回復を実現した.
