Partial discharges may cause damage to electrical insulation of high voltage equipment. They initiate elastic waves in the insulating material, e.g. in the stress cone of an outdoor termination. Localisation of the origin of such elastic waves can help to predict serious damaging processes in the electrical insulation. In order to measure and evaluate the wave propagation effects in typical multilayered elastomeric structures, knowledge of the material properties is required. The propagating velocity and the attenuation of longitudinal waves are important parameters. Values for these quantities found in the literature were not appropriate. Therefore, for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and cured liquid silicone rubber (LSR), the longitudinal wave velocity and the attenuation were evaluated in the temperature interval from -20°C to 50°C and in the frequency range from 200 kHz to 600 kHz using a two-sample ultrasound technique. The loss factor was determined from these measured quantities. Additionally, low frequency Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) was applied to investigate LSR and XLPE in a temperature interval between -100 and 50°C and to check qualitatively the ultrasound data.
The time-dependent sorption of biodiesel in a typical polyethylene for container applications is investigated in comparison to conventional diesel fuel at three different temperatures. In this context, the desorption behavior is also addressed. Subsequently, the effects of both penetrants on mechanical properties are characterized in terms of impact strength and dynamic-mechanical analysis. The discussion of property changes is firstly based on the sorption kinetics of biodiesel and diesel, which is determined by immersion experiments allowing for the calculation of respective diffusion coefficients. Changes in impact strength as determined by the Charpy method are further characterised in more detail by analyzing the fracture surfaces, and correlated with results of dynamic-mechanical analysis.
Viscoelastic properties of cellular polypropylene ferroelectrets (PP FEs) were studied at low
frequencies (0.3–33 Hz) by dynamic mechanical analysis and at high frequencies (250 kHz) by laser Doppler vibrometry. Relaxation behavior of the in-plane Young’s modulus (Y´
11~1500 MPa at room temperature) was observed and attributed to the viscoelastic response of polypropylene matrix.
The out-of-plane Young’s modulus is very small (Y´33≈0.1 MPa) at low frequencies, frequency- and stress-dependent, evidencing nonlinear viscoelastic response of PP FEs. The highfrequency mechanical response of PP FEs is shown to be linear viscoelastic with Y´33≈0.8 MPa. It is described by thickness vibration mode and modeled as a damped harmonic oscillator with one degree of freedom. Frequency dependence of Y*33 in the large dynamic strain regime is described by the broad Cole-Cole relaxation with a mean frequency in kHz range attributed to the Dynamics of the air flow between partially closed air-filled voids in PP FEs. Switching-off the relaxation contribution causes dynamic crossover from the nonlinear viscoelastic regime at low frequencies to the linear viscoelastic regime at high frequencies. In the small strain regime, contribution of the air flow seems to be insignificant and the power-law response, attributed to the mechanics of polypropylene cell walls and closed air voids, dominates in a broad frequency range. Mechanical Relaxation caused by the air flow mechanism takes place in the sound and ultrasound frequency range (10 Hz–1MHz) and, therefore, should be taken into account in ultrasonic applications of the PP FEs deal with strong exciting or receiving signals.
Cure monitoring of epoxy films by heatable in situ FTIR analysis: Correlation to composite parts
(2014)
The curing mechanism of an epoxy film containing dicyandiamide (DICY) and an epoxy formulation based on diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA) polymer was studied as a function of various temperature programs. The investigation was performed in situ, using a thin film of the epoxy mixture on a silicon wafer substrate in a heatable transmission tool of a FTIR spectrometer. Based on these model-curing experiments, a major curing mechanism was proposed, taking into account the appearance, the decrease, and the development of characteristic bands at various temperatures. The conclusions of the model curing were correlated to FTIR measurements on a real, 50-mm-thick glass fiber reinforced component composite part from a technical process. It could be shown that characteristic bands that develop at curing temperatures above 150°C appear especially in the center of the thick sample. From the chemical or molecular point of view, this demonstrates the established technician's understanding that temperature control inside a large-scale fiber composite of, for example, aircraft, wind-turbine, automotive applications component is of major importance.
Ferroelektrete sind zelluläre polarisierte Polymere, die ferroelektrische und dadurch auch piezoelektrische Eigenschaften aufweisen. Unter anderem werden sie für den Bau von Mikrofonen und Ultraschallwandlern für Materialprüfung eingesetzt. Dabei erweist sich ihre besonders niedrige akustische Impedanz als Vorteil. Ursache dafür ist vor allem ihr außergewöhnlich niedriger Elastizitätsmodul in Dickenrichtung. In diesem Beitrag werden zwei Methoden für die Ermittlung des Elastizitätsmoduls des geladenen zellulären Polypropylens (zPP) dargestellt. Die erste ist eine neuartige modellgestützte Methode mittels Laservibrometrie an dem eigenentwickelten Polypropylen-Wandler, wobei die Resonanzschwingung des Wandlers bei 250 kHz gemessen wird.
Die zweite Methode ist dynamisch-mechanische Analyse (DMA) durchgeführt mit Frequenzen von 0,3 bis 50 Hz, erstmalig für das zPP angewendet.
Epoxy composites used for high-end structural applications are typically cured under the influence of temperature and pressure causing a number of complex chemical and physical transformations. On heating a mould, temperature gradients will occur through the component which will depend largely on the thermophysical properties of the specific composite. The crosslinking reaction is exothermic leading to additional heat release, thus complicating heat transportation models. If such effects are not accounted for, it can lead to variations in resin flow, poor fibre wetting causing voiding and inhomogeneous cure, leading to shrinkage and unfavourable variations in moulded part geometry. Limited information is available for thermal models used in the manufacture of reinforced thermosets. Autoclave [1, 2] and laser or infra-red curing processes [3, 4] typically use constant values determined on fully cured parts. In this work, the variation in thermal conductivity (K) (W/(m K)), thermal diffusivity (a) (m(2)/s) and specific heat capacity at constant pressure (c(p)) (J/(g K) is determined for a carbon fibre prepreg during cure. It is the intention to improve understanding of how these parameters are related to chemical or physical transformations occurring during cure, and where estimates or shortcuts may be used for heat transfer models
The prospects of modern thermoanalytical methods for characterisation
of flow, curing and final mechanical behaviour of
moulding compounds were demonstrated. Using urea resin
moulding compounds from different manufacturers the possibilities
of the various techniques could be shown. With comparatively
low effort, fundamental information can be gained
before production process had been started. On this basis it is
possible to make appropriate material selection at an early
point in the process chain. On the basis of thermoanalytical
data an incoming goods inspection can be established. Also it
is easy to control the compliance with the conditions of delivery.
In some cases it could also be helpful to have stored analysis
data especially when problems appear in manufacturing
process or unexpected part damages occur
With the ultrasound measuring system it is possible to transfer
the findings from the analytical methods directly to the processes
in the mould. The application of ultrasound provides
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis in the mould. Beside quality
assurance ultrasound can also be used for process optimisation,
especially for reduction of cycle time. In an advanced form
ultrasound information can be used as a basis for improved
machine control based on material state. The ultrasound measuring
system developed by ISK Iserlohn and BAM can be
obtained from the ISK.
Harnstoff-Formmassen gehören zu den duroplastischen Formmassen, die im Werkzeug chemisch vernetzen und so ihre herausragende Temperaturbeständigkeit erreichen.
Im Wettbewerb mit Thermoplasten weisen Formmassen den Nachteil auf, dass die Vernetzungsreaktion eine kritische Zeit bedingt, damit die Glasübergangstemperatur soweit verschoben werden kann, dass die heißen Teile stabil und blasenfrei entformt werden können. Die Zykluszeiten sind bei Formmassen daher deutlich höher als bei Thermoplasten.
Eine Möglichkeit, die Zykluszeit zu verringern, wäre die Erhöhung der Werkzeugtemperatur, da bekanntlich eine Erhöhung der Reaktionstemperatur um 10 K zu einer Verdoppelung der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit führt.
Allerdings wird dabei das Zeitfenster für die Entformung optimal gehärteter Teile deutlich kleiner, der Prozess anfälliger gegen Schwankungen im Prozess und in der Formmasse-Zusammensetzung. Mit einer Online-Kontrolle des Vernetzungszustands sollte es aber gelingen, den Prozess auch bei einer höheren Werkzeugtemperatur noch stabil zu beherrschen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Methode der dielektrischen Prozesskontrolle in der Fertigung von Spritzgieß-Formteilen erprobt und die Möglichkeiten einer Prozesssteuerung werden herausgearbeitet.
