TY - JOUR A1 - Schartel, Bernhard A1 - Günther, Martin T1 - Flame retardancy of polyurethanes N2 - Polyurethanes (PU) represent one of the most versatile classes of plastics. They are processed and used as thermoplastic, elastomer, and thermoset. The requirements regarding flammability are correspondingly versatile. Depending on the material and the field of application, specific fire tests have to be fulfilled. This paper describes the different concepts used to fulfil these requirements by choosing the right raw materials and flame retardants.

T1 - Natural Keratin and Coconut Fibres from Industrial Wastes in Flame Retarded Thermoplastic Starch Biocomposites N2 - Natural keratin fibres derived from Mexican tannery waste and coconut fibres from coconut processing waste were used as fillers in commercially available, biodegradable thermoplastic starch-polyester blend to obtain sustainable biocomposites. The morphology, rheological and mechanical properties as well as pyrolysis, flammability and forced flaming combustion behaviour of those biocomposites were investigated. In order to open up new application areas for these Kinds of biocomposites, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was added as a flame retardant. Extensive flammability and cone calorimeter studies revealed a good flame retardance effect with natural fibres alone and improved effectiveness with the addition of APP. In fact, it was shown that replacing 20 of 30 wt. % of APP with keratin fibres achieved the same effectiveness. In the case of coconut fibres, a synergistic effect led to an even lower heat release rate and total heat evolved due to reinforced char residue. This was confirmed via scanning electron microscopy of the char structure. All in all, these results constitute a good approach towards sustainable and biodegradable fibre reinforced biocomposites with improved flame retardant properties.

Most of the time, the goal is to increase their resistance to weathering effects, deformations in material dimensions or biotic decomposition. These wood treatment techniques have a significant impact on pyrolysis and burning behavior. The general effects of three different common wood treatments on flame retardancy were investigated by comparing treated woods with their untreated counterparts and with other kinds of wood. While the acetylation of beech leads to a slightly increased fire hazard, the thermal treatment of wood and crosslinking of cellulose microfibrils dimethyloldihydroxy-ethyleneurea show a limited flame retarding effect. Switching to woods with a higher lignin content, and thus higher char yield, however, results in a more pronounced improvement in flame retardancy performance. This article delivers a comprehensive and balanced assessment of the general impact of different wood modifications on the fire behavior. Further, it is a valuable benchmark for assessing the flame retardancy effect of other wood modifications.

T1 - Effects of novel phosphorus-nitrogen-containing DOPO derivative salts on mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardancy of flexible polyurethane foam N2 - In this work, a series of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) derivative salts containing phosphorus and nitrogen were synthesized, and their effects on mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardancy of flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) were investigated. Studies have shown that the addition of DOPO derivatives will increase the tensile strength, compression set, and compression hardness of FPUF, but it will lead to a decrease in elongation at break. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the initial decomposition temperature of FPUF containing DOPO derivatives was reduecd, but the char reside was significantly improved. A series of combustion tests indicated that the addition of DOPO derivative salts can improve the flame retardancy of FPUF, of which 10-hydroxy-9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10 phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide dicyandiamide salt (D-DICY) exhibited the best flame retardancy. When the load of D-DICY was 20 phr, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of foam reached 24.5%, and the peak heat release rate and total heat release were decreased by 55.7% and 52.9%, respectively. Furthermore, based on the analysis of the gas phase combustion products and the char residue of the condensed phase, the possible flame retardant mechanism was proposed.

T1 - Estimation of the Lateral Dynamic Displacement of High-Rise Buildings underWind Load Based on Fusion of a Remote Sensing Vibrometer and an Inclinometer N2 - This paper proposes a novel method to estimate the lateral displacement of high-rise structures under wind loads. The coefficient β(x) is firstly derived, reflecting the relation between the structural lateral dynamic displacement and the inclination angle at the height x of a structure. If the angle is small, it is the ratio between the structural fundamental mode shape and its first-order derivative without influence of external loads. Several dynamic experiments of structures are performed based on a laser remote sensing vibrometer and an inclinometer, which shows that the fundamental mode is dominated in the structural displacement response under different types of excitations. Once the coefficient β(x) is curve-fitted by measuring both the structural lateral dynamic displacement and the inclination angle synchronously, the real-time structural lateral displacement under operational conditions is estimated by multiplying the coefficient β(x) with the inclination angle. The advantage of the proposed method is that the coefficient β(x) can be identified by lateral dynamic displacement measured in high resolution by the remote sensing vibrometer, which is useful to reconstruct the displacement accurately by the inclination angle under operational conditions KW - Inclination angle KW - High-rise building KW - Lateral dynamic displacement KW - Remote sensing vibrometer PY - 2020 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b43-506833 DO - https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12071120 VL - 12 IS - 7 SP - 1120 PB - MDPI CY - 4052 Basel, Schweiz AN - OPUS4-50683 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Raschpichler, C.

T1 - Surface Properties and Porosity of Silica Particles Studied by Wide-Angle Soft X-ray Scattering N2 - Wide-angle soft X-ray scattering on free silica particles of different porosity prepared in a beam is reported. The explored q region is mostly dominated by features due to surface roughness and bulk porosity. A comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of silica particles of different porosity is presented for various incident photon energies. A correlation analysis, based on the theory of Porod, is used to test the validity of exact Mie theory in different pore density limits. The ability of the discrete dipole scattering model (DDSCAT) to resolve local effects, caused by various pore distributions, is discussed. Characteristic differences between the soft X-ray scattering patterns of the particle samples of different surface properties and porosity are detected. For all mentioned cases, it was confirmed that the effective radius concept of the Guinier model can be successfully extended to Mie theory and DDSCAT in describing the additive contributions of the primary particles, including a thin inhomogeneous solvent-rich surface shell and empty bulk pores. Close agreement, within ±15%, between the calculated and observed pore sizes and porosity values is reached. The influence of pores is alternatively described either in terms of secondary Mie scattering, which is modulated by the local internal electrical field within the particles, or by an independent Mie scattering process induced by the incident field on isolated pores. It is found that for the typical pore/particle size ratios the latter approach presents the best choice.

In theory, tracks on continuous soil are calculated by the frequency-wavenumber domain method. In experiment, geophone measurements are transformed to displacement results. Two aspects of track behaviour are considered, the frequency-dependant compliance of the track, measured by hammer impact, and the deflection under a passing axle load. In theory, the response to a single axle can be calculated, whereas in experiment, only the passage of the whole train can be measured. For comparison of theory and experiment, the calculated deflection under a single axle is superposed to get the response of the whole train. As a result, the slab track characteristics are completely different from the ballast track characteristics where each axle can be seen in the time histories. The slab track has a more global behaviour where only a whole bogie can be found in the track response and moreover, the two neighbouring bogies are not completely separated. The measurement of the different track elements (rail, sleeper, track plate, base layer) and the frequency-dependant compliances with possible resonances yield further information About the properties of the track elements. The calculations show that the soil has the dominant influence on the amplitudes and the width of the track-plate displacements. In the measurement results, the following parameters are analysed: slab track vs. ballast track, different types of slab tracks, damaged slab tracks, different trains, switches at different measuring points, voided sleepers, an elastic layer, the mortar layer, and different soils at different places. Finally, a good agreement between measured and calculated results is found for the normal and some special (damaged, floating) slab tracks.

Theoretical results have been achieved by a combined finite-element boundary-element method (FEBEM). The theoretical results are confronted with measurements at four sites. Improved mitigation effects have been found for soft rail pads under heavy sleepers. The insertion loss, however, can be too optimistic if a strong vehicle track resonance occurs for the un-isolated reference track. Two measurement sites show this strong vehicle-track resonance at about 80 Hz, which has been approximated by using the results of a wide parameter study including the rail pad, ballast, and soil stiffness, as well as the ballast model and the soil layering. – The detection of slab track damage is mainly based on the differences of the receptance or compliance functions. Theoretical results have been confirmed by measurements at one site where a loss of contact between track plate and base layer was visible. Measurements at a second site with a hidden damage have been compared with the theoretical results of a loose sleeper. The differences between intact (or repaired) and damaged tracks are strong enough to encourage the further development of this method for the identification of track damages.

A1 - Hothan, Sascha A1 - Krüger, Simone T1 - Reaktive Brandschutzsysteme auf Stahlbauteilen mit doppelt gekrümmter Oberfläche N2 - Reaktive Brandschutzsysteme können die Feuerwiderstandsdauer von Stahlbauteilen signifikant erhöhen. Im Brandfall schäumt das reaktive Brandschutzsystem auf und bildet um das Stahlbauteil eine thermische Schutzschicht aus. Dadurch wird die Erwärmung des Stahls verlangsamt und der temperaturbedingte Festigkeitsverlust verzögert. Reaktive Brandschutzsysteme werden überwiegend in drei Bereichen angewendet: Hochbau, Offshore bzw. maritimer Sektor sowie Tank- bzw. Behälterbau. Insbesondere bei Stahltanks und -behältern sind häufig einfach oder auch doppelt gekrümmte Bauteiloberflächen anzutreffen. Aufgrund des meist begrenzten seitlichen Expansionsvermögens von reaktiven Brandschutzsystemen kann es bei Bauteilen mit konvexer Oberflächenkrümmung zu einer Intensivierung der Rissbildung im Schaum kommen, wodurch sich häufig die thermische Schutzwirkung verschlechtert. Da zum Thema des Einflusses der Oberflächenkrümmung auf die Leistungsfähigkeit reaktiver Brandschutzsysteme bisher kaum Untersuchungen vorliegen, wurden exemplarisch zwei Tankböden mit zwei verschiedenen Trockenschichtdicken eines reaktiven Brandschutzsystems einer Brandprüfung unterzogen. Bei gleicher Trockenschichtdicke des reaktiven Brandschutzsystems zeigten die Tankböden eine wesentlich schnellere Erwärmung als ebene Stahlplatten mit vergleichbarem Profilfaktor. Die Brandprüfungen und die Ergebnisse zum Einfluss der Oberflächenkrümmung werden im Beitrag ausführlich vorgestellt und diskutiert.
