A1 - Becker, Ben A1 - Duffner, Eric A1 - Gregor, Christian A1 - Saul, Herbert A1 - Schoppa, André T1 - Composite gas cylinders - probabilistic analysis of minimum load cycle requirements N2 - Composite materials show a degradation of properties depending on Service life. This creates the necessity to find tailored methods to determine strength and residual strength of composite cylinders. The determination can be done e.g. by load cycles tests. The result needs a Statistical assessment for the precise description of strength. Especially the Statistical assessment of load cycle strength properties has a high uncertainty. It is unclear if a Log-Normal distribution, a WEIBULL distribution or others, describe the scatter behaviour of residual strength properties correctly. Distribution functions aim at approximating the frequency of occurrence of residual load cycle strength for high survival rates. An assumption has to be found and confirmed to prevent overestimation of reliability.

T1 - Degree of reaction and phase content of silica-based one-part geopolymers investigated using chemical and NMR spectroscopic methods N2 - One-part geopolymers were synthesized from two different silica materials (a silica-rich residue from chlorosilane production and a commercial microsilica) and sodium aluminate at three different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios and a nominal water/solids ratio of 0.5. The degree of reaction of the silica in the cured geopolymers (i.e. the fraction of silica dissolved to form aluminosilicates and minor products) was determined using two different methods: chemical attack with HCl to dissolve the reaction products and evaluation of peak areas of 29Si MAS NMR spectra. It was found that the degree of reaction of the silica decreases with increasing the silica content of the starting mix, and that it is almost constant after 1 day of curing and almost independent from the kind of starting silica. From the results of the NMR-based method, the mean SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of the reaction products (aluminosilicates and minor products) can be estimated to be ca. 2.0, nearly independent of the starting composition of the geopolymers. The dissolution method is biased, but of sufficient precision to be useful for following changes of the degree of reaction. Major crystalline phases in the cured geopolymers are zeolite A and/or hydrosodalite. Depending on the starting composition, the relative amounts of these zeolites vary; additionally, sodalite (only for the residue from chlorosilane production with >1 wt% Cl-), faujasite, and zeolite EMT can appear in the geopolymers. The 29Si and 27Al MAS NMR results indicate mainly Si(4Al) and Al(4Si) sites, in line with the presence of zeolite A, hydrosodalite, sodalite, and geopolymeric gel of comparatively low SiO2/Al2O3 ratio.
