The objective of this work is to demonstrate the practical application and sensitivity of ultrasound as a high frequency Dynamic Mechanical Analysis DMA technique for the characterisation of polymers. Conventional DMA techniques are used to determine thermo mechanical behaviour of polymers by typically employing dynamic shear or tensile loading modes at defined frequencies between 0.1 and 50 Hz. Sound waves may also be employed for DMA applications and depending on type of wave propagated, shear G´, G´´ and longitudinal L´, L´´ storage or loss modulus and tan (δ) may be determined from the measured acoustic parameters sound velocity and amplitude. The primary advantage of ultrasound DMA is that due to the compact sensor size it can easily be integrated into most manufacturing processes. To demonstrate the sensitivity of ultrasound to variations in the viscoelastic properties of polymers, the acoustic properties of a cured epoxy with an observed glass transition temperature of 86 °C (tan(δ) peak, 1Hz) were monitored in a temperature range from 20 to 200 °C and compared to conventional DMA results. The influence of measurement frequency, dispersion, hysteresis, reflections at material boundaries, and changes in material density on the measured sound velocity and amplitude were taken into account. To support conclusions a wide range of experimental data was evaluated using sensors operating in the frequency ranges 400 to 800 kHz and 3 to 6 MHz. The ultrasound results are compared to the tensile moduli E´, E´´ and tan(δ) measured using a conventional DMA technique operating at 0.1 to 33 Hz. Using different evaluation strategies such as the Williams Landel Ferry WLF equation it was possible to study the sensitivity of wave propagation to variations in the viscoelastic behaviour of a polymer. Taking advantage of this background knowledge, further experimental results are presented with the aim of demonstrating the sensitivity of this technique for cure monitoring applications and to the material transformations: gelation and vitrification. For this purpose an epoxy resin was cured at a range of constant temperatures whereby the curing reaction and the corresponding change in viscoelastic properties were monitored. Analysis techniques employed included ultrasound at 3 to 6 MHz, Differential Scanning Calorimeter DSC and Rheometry at 1 Hz. All results were summarised and presented graphically. Additionally an Arrhenius relationship was employed enabling direct comparison of results obtained from analysis techniques based on different working principles. Using this information, it was possible to demonstrate the practical application and the sensitivity of this technique to even small changes in viscoelastic properties of polymers.
In recent years eure monitoring with ultrasonic methods became more important. An on-line measurement System for industrial applications is presented in this paper. It operates in through-transmission and the measured parameters are the sound velocity and the attenuation of the sound wave. An objective of this paper is to establish the ränge of possible applications for an ultrasonic eure monitoring System.
Ultrasound on-line NDT methods have been demonstrated as a useful tool for monitoring the curing reaction of thermosets. In order to achieve this ultrasound sensors are incorporated into compression, injection and RTM (resin transfer) mould. For many commercial products imprints or any surface markings upon the moulded product are undesirable. Due to its physical properties ultrasound has a large advantage over other techniques for similar applications. The sound wave can pass through the wall of the mould and direct contact with the moulded part is not required. In this particular case one fundamental problem is a good coupling of the sensors to the mould wall. Several mediums came into question but because of the high technical (e. g. temperature and long time stability) and practical demands, it was decided that dry (non-fluid) coupling would be the most promising candidate. A handful of coupling foils suitable also at high temperatures and for long time application under industrial conditions were tested and are presented in this paper.
The curing conditions play an important role in the quality assurance of composite products.
Especially as composite materials are widely used in high tech areas so that they are required to fulfil high quality Standards. Some problems which occur during curing, for instance undercuring, can hardly be detected using Standard NDT investigations, mainly because they are manifested only at high temperatures, particularly close to glass-rubber-transition. On-line eure monitoring has the outstanding advantage that it can monitor the material parameters even at the highest temperatures possible.
In recent years eure monitoring with ultrasonic methods has become more populär. In comparison to dielectric methods mechanical parameters are measured directly. The quantities to be measured are the velocity and the attenuation of the sound wave. On this basis the storage and loss modulus can be calculated. Depending on the form of excitation with longitudinal or transversal waves these moduli are referred to as long wave or shear modulus.
Well developed Computer based technology and sensor materials are available in the non-destructive testing (NDT) market. The measuring equipment employed a commercial NDT System, which worked computer-aided. With a special Software the demands of automatic Operation under industrial conditions was accomplished. This measurement equipment was tested on composites. Its structure, performance and some practical results will be presented in the following paper.
Zusammenfassung
Der Ausgangspunkt für diese Arbeiten ist eine in [1] beschriebene Ultraschall-(US)-Sensorik zur Aushärtungskontrolle. Sie wurde für rieselfähige Formmassen entwickelt [2,3]. Darauf aufbauend ist es das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit, die Voraussetzungen für den Einsatz dieser Sensorik beim Harzinjektionsverfahren zu schaffen und ihre Kalibrierung durch rheologische und DSC-Messungen zu ermöglichen.
Der erste Teil des Beitrages beschäftigt sich mit dem technologischen Ablauf des Harzinjektionsverfahren und den Einsatzmöglichkeiten der US-Sensorik bei dieser Technologie. Ergebnisse von Schallgeschwindigkeits- und Dämpfungsmessungen für EP-Harze werden vorgestellt.
Im zweiten Teil wird auf das Kalibrieren der US-Sensorik für den Verarbeiter eingegangen. Es kann mittels der bisherigen Prozessführung oder durch Vergleich mit den Ergebnissen anderer Mess-Verfahren wie Rheometer- oder Differential-Scanning-Calerometry-(DSC)-Messungen erfolgen.
