Following to a brief introduction of BAM the procedures are explained how to prepare reference materials in analytical chemistry. Examples are given for collecting and presenting data in welding, thermomechanical properties and tribology. The use of data for modelling safety in technology and chemistry is demonstrated. Finally there is in outlook on the World Materials Research Institut Forum (WMRIF) and recommendations for action.
For how trivial or provocative it can sound, the best neutron spectrometer in the world does not produce science by itself. By definition of Materials Science, neutron scattering data on engineering materials must be used as a tool to understand, and even tailor, materials performance. In order for this to happen, it is clear that neutron data need to be acquired under the most relevant condition possible, coupled to other experimental techniques, and capitalized by means of proper simulations and data analysis.
In fact, access to neutron sources is not routine. Consequently, it is imperative to search ways to make neutron data rentable for the material science and industrial research community.
In this presentation, and based on the example of Ceramic Diesel Particulate Filters and Aluminum Matrix Composites, we will show a couple of strategies to combine neutron data with other experiments, and with theoretical models. Their combination allows raising the value of experiments from data production to problem-solving. Obviously, these are only a few among the many combinations possible to help improving materials properties, performance, and safety.
Soft polymers such as the investigated polyurethane, characterized by low Young’s moduli and prone to high shear deflection, are frequently applied in pneumatic cylinders. Their performance and lifetime without external lubrication are highly determined by the friction between seal and shaft and the wear rate. FEM simulation has established itself as a tool in seal design processes but requires input values for friction and wear depending on material, load, and velocity. This paper presents a tribological test configuration for long stroke, reciprocating movement, allowing the generation of data which meet the requirements of input parameters for FEM simulations without the geometrical influences of specific seal profiles. A numerical parameter study, performed with an FEM model, revealed the most eligible sample geometry as a flat, disc-shaped sample of the polymer glued on a stiff sample holder. At the same time, the study illustrates that the sensitivity of the contact pressure distribution to Poisson’s ratio and CoF can be minimized by the developed and verified setup. It ensures robust, reliable, and repeatable experimental results with uniform contact pressures and constant contact areas to be used in databases and FEM simulations of seals, enabling upscaling from generically shaped samples to complex seal profiles.
