Full textGlobal awareness of environmental issues has resulted in the emergence of “green” composites, in which natural fibres are used to replace synthetic ones. However, in semi-or structural applications, it can be inconvenient to use composites based on natural fibres. A possible solution to this problem is the development of hybrid composite materials, combining together plies of natural and synthetic fibres. In this framework, the aim of this research project was to develop basalt-flax fibre hybrid composites with a view to obtaining more environmentally friendly composites for semi-structural applications. Hybrid composites were produced through vacuum infusion molding with epoxy matrix.For comparison purposes, 100% flax fibre composites and 100% basalt fibre composites were also manufactured. A quasi-static and dynamic mechanical characterization showed that the hybridization allows the production of a composite with intermediate mechanical performances compared to those possessed by flax and basalt composites. However, the damage analysis has revealed the need to optimize the fibre/matrix interface adhesion quality, in order to increase the mechanical properties of the resulting hybrid composites. For this reason, different surface modification treatments have been specifically designed and investigated for flax and basalt fibres. Flax and basalt fibres were treated by the physical process of Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition. Flax fibres were also subjected to two chemical treatments using enzymatic species and supercritical CO2. The effects of the surface modification treatments on the thermal stability, morphology and mechanical properties of flax and basalt fibres have been investigated. The degree and extent of fibre/matrix adhesion were analyzed by micromechanical fragmentation tests on monofilament composites. The adhesion quality between fibres and both epoxy and vinylester matrices has been assessed in terms of critical fragment length, debonding length and interfacial shear strength. High-resolution μ-CT has been used to support the analysis of the damage mechanisms during fragmentation tests. For both flax and basalt fibres, the best results were obtained after the plasma polymer deposition process. This process was able to produce a homogeneous tetravinylsilane coating on the surface of basalt and flax fibres, which resulted in a significant increase in the fibre/matrix adhesion, thus paving the way for the next generation of more environmentally friendly hybrid composites for semi-structural applications

Full textThis thesis presents the test results of a study on the bond behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars in concrete. Forty-five cylinders reinforced with BFRP bars and eighteen cylinders reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars were tested in direct pullout conditions. Test parameters included the FRP material, the bar diameter, the bar’s embedment length in concrete and the number of freeze-and-thaw cycles (100 and 200 cycles). Bond-slip curves of BFRP and GFRP bars revealed similar trend. All BFRP specimens failed in a pullout mode at the bar-epoxy interface. The influence of various parameters on the overall bond performance of BFRP bars is analyzed. The BPE, modified-BPE, and CMR analytical models were calibrated to describe the bond-slip relationships of BFRP bars. Results demonstrate the promise of using BFRP bars as an alternative to GFRP bars in reinforcing concrete elements.

Full textThis study evaluates both experimentally and analytically the shear behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC) beams reinforced longitudinally with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. A new type of basalt macro-fibers was added to the concrete mix to produce the BFRC mix. Fourteen beams (152 x 254 x 2000 mm) with no transverse reinforcement provided were tested under four-point loading configuration until failure occurred. The beams were grouped in two groups A and B depending on their span-to-depth ratios, a/d. Beams of group A had a ratio a/d of 3.3 while those of group B had a ratio a/d of 2.5. Besides the span-to-depth ratios, the parameters investigated included the volume fraction of the fibers added (0.75 and 1.5%) and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio of the BFRP reinforcing bars (0.31, 0.48, 0.69, 1.05, and 1.52). The test results showed that the addition of basalt macro-fibers to the concrete mix enhanced its compressive strength. A direct relationship between the fiber volume fraction, Vf, and the compressive strength was observed. Concrete cylinders cast with Vf of 0.75 and 1.5% yielded 11 and 30% increase in their compressive strengths over those cast with plain concrete, respectively. The addition of fibers greatly enhanced the shear capacity of BFRC-BFRP beams compared to their control beams cast with plain concrete. The increase of the fiber volume fraction decreased the spacing between cracks and hindered its propagation. A significant enhancement in the shear capacities of the tested beams was also observed when the basalt macro-fibers were added at a volume fraction Vf of 0.75%. The average increase in the shear capacities of beams of group A and B, having the same reinforcement ratios, were 45 and 44%, respectively, in comparison with those of the control beams. It was noticed that the gain in shear capacities of the tested beams was more pronounced in beams with a/d = 3.3 than in beams with a/d = 2.5 when the reinforcement ratio increased. In the analytical phase, several models were used to predict the shear capacities of the beams. All of the available models overestimated the shear capacities of the tested beams with average ratio Vpre/Vexp ranging between 1.29 to 2.64. This finding indicated that these models were not suitable to predict the shear capacities of the BFRC-BFRP beams. A new modified model incorporating the type of the longitudinal reinforcement, the type of FRC used, and the density of concrete is proposed. The model of Ashour et al. –A (1992) was calibrated using a calibration factor equal to the ratio of modulus of FRP bars used, Ef, and that of steel bars, Es. This ratio takes into consideration the difference in properties between the FRP and steel bars, which was overlooked by previous models. The proposed model predicted well the shear capacities of the BFRC-BFRP beams tested in the current study with average ratios Vpre/Vexp = 0.82 ± 0.12 and 0.80 ± 0.01 for beams of groups A and B, respectively. The shear capacities of the lightweight concrete beams tested by Abbadi (2018) were predicted with an average ratio Vpre/Vexp = 0.77 ± 0.05. Moreover, the model predicted well the shear capacities of the SFRC beams reinforced with BFRP bars tested by Awadallah et al. (2014) with an average ratio Vpre/Vexp = 0.89 ± 0.07. This indicates the wide range of applicability of the proposed model. However, it is recommended that the proposed model be assessed on larger set of data than that presented in this study

Full textThis thesis work is devoted to the understanding of the structure-properties relationships of composite materials made from hybrid rovings composed of the thermoplastic matrix, polyphenylene sulphide, and reinforcements that can be either carbon or basalt. Thus, several lines of research have been pursued in this work: i) the impact of the commingling process on the final properties of composites, ii) the understanding of fiber-matrix interactions and iii) the optimization of those interactions in the interface. This work first demonstrated the link established between the mechanical and structural properties of the hybrid yarns and the mechanical properties of composite materials. The air commingling process degrades the resistance of the fibers and this is observed both on filaments tensile tests and commingled yarns. This degradation is not observed on twisted yarns. In the same time, composites based on commingled yarns show a better homogeneity, mechanical properties and a lower porosity rate. In a second step, the adhesion developped in all composite systems was evaluated at the micromechanical scale and correlated at the macroscopic scale. Accelerated ageing tests were also carried out to discriminate the most durable solutions. A final part of this work is devoted to the optimization of the interfacial properties of the systems studied. Two solutions were developed and gave interesting results: the use of a PPS / PE-EMA-GMA polymer mixture allowed to improve up to 56% the IFSS with basalt fibers and the use of an imidazolium salt as interfacial agent in the matrix allowed to improve by 25% the IFSS obtained with carbon fibers

Full textThe aim of this work was to study the mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced polymer composite cylinders. For this purpose, cylinders reinforced with basalt and glass fibers were produced, with open-ended geometry, using filament winding technique. These cylinders were submitted to hydrostatic test under circunferential loading, split disk (ring segment) test and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). A basalt fiber composite plate was produced by filament winding for characterization by tensile strength test. All cylinders submitted to hydrostatic test presented fracture located in the height range of the cylinder, with extensive delamination of the circumferential layers. The epoxy/basalt fiber composites overcame or equated the epoxy/glass fiber composites in comparisons between results of the mechanical properties, tensile strength in split disk, in 45% and 43% in specific strength; ILSS in 11%; membrane tensile strength in the hydrostatic test, in 55%.

Full textThis study reports on the shear behavior of fiber-reinforced lightweight concrete (FRLWC) beams reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Ten beams (150x250x2400 mm) cast with concrete with and without fibers were tested under fourpoint loading configuration until failure occurred. Two beams were cast without fibers and acted as control while the other eight beams were cast with different types and percentages of fiber. The investigated parameters included the fiber type (basalt, polypropylene, and steel fibers), the fibers volume fraction (0, 0.5, and 1.0%), and the beams’ reinforcement ratios (0.95 and 1.37%). Comparison between the experimental results and the analytical models currently available in the literature was performed to assess the applicability of such models for LWC reinforced with BFRP bars. Based on the outcome of the current study, the geometry of fibers played an important role in increasing the number of cracks than those observed in the control beams. The addition of fibers led to a more ductile failure and the rate of crack opening was delayed. Crack width decreased with the increase of the longitudinal reinforcement ratios and the fibers’ volume fractions. Increasing the reinforcement ratio resulted in higher stiffness and decreased its deflection at all stages of loading. Beams cast with 1% of basalt, polypropylene, and steel fibers showed an increase in their shear capacities in compared to control beams about 11, 16, and 63%, respectively. The type of fibers significantly affected the gain in the shear capacities of the beams, which can be attributed to the different physical and mechanical properties of the fibers used such as aspect ratios, lengths, geometries, densities, and their bonding mechanisms. Beams cast with 0.5% steel fibers exhibited higher shear capacities than those cast with basalt and polypropylene fibers by 23 and 16%, respectively, whereas the beams cast with 1% steel fibers showed a gain by 47 and 41%, respectively. The predicted shear capacities according to CSA-S806-12 code provisions were conservative with an average ratio Vpred /Vexp of 0.80 (standard deviation, SD = 0.12) for beams without fibers. Good predictions for the shear capacities of the basalt-fiber reinforced concrete beams (BLWC) were provided by the models derived by Shin (1994) and Gopinath (2016) in which the ratios Vpred /Vexp were 1.34 (SD = 0.09) and 1.35 (SD = 0.07), respectively. Also, the model of Shin (1994) predicted well the shear capacities of the polypropylene-fiber reinforced concrete beams (PLWC) with a Vpred /Vexp ratio of 1.34 and SD of 0.18. The models of Gopinath (2016), Ashour A (1992), and Shin (1994) predicted the shear capacities of steel-fiber reinforced concrete beams (SLWC) fairly reasonable with a Vpred /Vexp ratio of 1.01 (SD = 0.06), 1.07 (SD = 0.01) and 1.20 (SD = 0.08), respectively. A new model was proposed to predict the shear capacities of FRWLC beams reinforced with BFRP longitudinal bars. The proposed model predicted well the shear capacities of BLWC beams with a Vpred /Vexp ratio of 1.01 (SD = 0.05) and those of PLWC beams with a Vpred /Vexp ratio of 0.99 (SD = 0.06). The bond factor and the interface bond matrix used were 0.75 and 4.18 MPa, respectively. The proposed model also predicted well the shear capacities of beams cast with SLWC with a Vpred /Vexp ratio of 0.9 when the bond factor and the interface bond matrix were taken equal to 1.00 and 6.8 MPa, respectively.

This material is classified as a polymer used to improve the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Therefore, the tests in standard concrete specimens with different percentages of this additive generate efficient results that prove the hypothesis to be investigated. As a point of reference and comparison, a conventional concrete was also evaluated. In both cases they were subjected to compression and traction tests to measure their resistance. In addition, tests were carried out to measure its durability such as alkali-silica and carbonation. The results generate benefits in the construction activity and minimize the economic costs arising from the loss of materials generated by corrosion.

Full textAbstract: The advances in fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) technology have spurred interest in introducing new fibers, such as basalt FRP (BFRP), which has the potential to offer an efficient solution when implemented in concrete structure, such as corrosion resistant, durable and cost-effective. Furthermore, the available design codes and guides do not provide any recommendations for the use of BFRP bars since fundamental studies and relevant applications are still limited. Therefore, investigations are needed to characterize and understand the behavior of BFRP bars in concrete members. Consequently, the main objectives of this experimental investigation are to evaluate the short- and long-term characteristics of newly developed BFRP bars, as well as evaluate the structural performance of these new bars as internal reinforcement for concrete beams and bridge-deck slabs to introduce these new reinforcing bars to the design codes and guides. The experimental tests were completed through three parts. The first part was conducted on three newly developed BFRP bars and tendons to investigate their physical and mechanical properties. Durability and long-term performance were assessed by conditioning the BFRP bars in an alkaline solution simulating the moist concrete environment to determine their suitability as internal reinforcement for concrete elements. Thereafter, the properties were assessed and compared with the unconditioned (reference) values. The second part of this study was conducted on seven full-scale edge-restrained concrete bridge-deck slabs simulating actual slab-on-girder bridge-deck that is commonly used in North America to evaluate the performance of concrete bridge-deck slabs reinforced with BFRP and steel bars. The deck slabs measured 3000 mm long × 2500 mm wide × 200 mm deep. The slabs were tested up to failure under single concentrated load acting on the center of each slab simulating the footprint of sustained truck wheel load. The punching shear capacities were predicted using the available provisions, and compared with the experimental results. The third part of this study included testing of fourteen concrete beams of 3100 mm long × 200 mm wide × 300 mm deep to investigate the flexural behavior and serviceability performance of sand-coated and ribbed BFRP bars in concrete beams. The beams were tested under four-point bending over a clear span of 2700 mm until failure. The results are introduced and discussed in terms of cracking behavior, deflection, flexure capacity, and failure modes. In addition, the bond-dependent coefficient (kb) of the BFRP bars was determined and compared with the recommendations of the current FRP design codes and guides. The findings of this study concluded the feasibility of producing BFRP bars meet the requirements of the current FRP standards. Also, the test results revealed that the BFRP bars had good mechanical behavior and could be placed in the same category as grade II and grade III GFRP bars. Moreover, the behavior of the concrete bridge-deck slabs and beams reinforced with BFRP bars was quite similar to the counterparts reinforced with glass- and carbon-FRP bars and the available FRP provisions are applicable for BFRP bars. The beam test results yielded an average bond-dependent coefficient (kb) of 0.76±0.03 and 0.83±0.03 for the sand-coated and ribbed BFRP bars, respectively.

Full textThis study assesses both experimentally and numerically the flexural behaviour of concrete slabs reinforced with basalt-fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars cast with and without basalt fiber-reinforced concrete (BFRC). The parameters investigated included the volume fractions of the basalt fibers used in the concrete mix and the ratios of the longitudinal tensile reinforcement in the beams. First, the effect of different fiber volume fractions on the mechanical properties of concrete was assessed. This was followed by flexural tests that were conducted on eight large-scale slabs under four-point load configuration. A finite element model (FEM) was developed using ATENA® to simulate the flexural behaviour of the tested specimens. Based on the experimental results, increasing the fiber volume fraction enhanced the compressive strength and modulus of rupture of concrete. Slabs with higher dosages of fibers showed increased number of cracks and an increase in their cracking and ultimate capacities. Increasing the fiber content led to decreased ductility in the tested slabs. However, all slabs showed a ductility index that exceeded the minimum value stated by CAN/CSA-S6-06. The longitudinal reinforcement ratio had a slight effect on the cracking load. However, it governed the deflection of the tested slabs. These results were in agreement with the test results reported in the literature for slabs reinforced with steel bars and cast with conventional steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC). A very good agreement between the numerical and the experimental results was obtained. The FEM predicted well the flexural behaviour of the slabs in terms of cracking loads, load-carrying capacities, deflections, and crack pattern. The Variable Engagement Model (VEM) successfully captured the behavior of the BFRC. Considering the fact that the model was initially developed for SFRC mixes, it could be concluded that BFRC has a comparable behavior to SFRC.

Syftet är att främja ergonomi inom brandmannayrket. Trots de fysiska kraven hos brandmän, kan vissa laster bli för tunga och svåra att bära på grund av utrustningens utformning. Därför behövs utrustning som är mer ergonomiskt utformad. Projektet följer övergripligt en produktutvecklingsfas där det ingår dels en marknadsundersökning och en förstudie vilket gjordes genom en litteraturstudie, intervjuer och studiebesök på brandstationer. En vanlig variant av slangkorg användes som utgångspunkt för projektet, denna slangkorg kallas i rapporten för ”Skövdeväskan” och ansågs tung och oergonomisk att bära, framför allt för kortare personer. Utifrån den information som samlats in gjordes ett kvalitetshus och en tvåstegs idégenerering där koncept togs fram. Koncepten ställdes mot varandra och mot Skövdeväskan i en konceptvalsmatris. Materialval med programmet CES Selector 3.2 gjordes på det vinnande konceptet som blev en slangkorg som bärs under armen. Slangkorgen modellerades sedan i programmet Creo Parametric 4.0 och detaljritningar skapades. En prototyp konstruerades och denna testades av brandmän av båda könen och av olika längd. Testpersonerna fick därefter göra en utvärdering som visade på både förbättringar och försämringar jämfört med Skövdeväskan. Försämringar som uppkom var att korgen blev mer svårpackad vilket berodde på det reducerade antalet stödstänger i ramen. Förbättringar gjordes på lyfthöjd vilket underlättade framför allt för de kortare personerna.

Stands with lower tree densities have greater plant diversity. Determining stand conditions will provide a baseline for formulating a plan to improve stand conditions. Thinning around individual trees can improve individual tree health reducing the likelihood of damage from bark beetles, fire or drought.

Full text[ES] En los últimos años ha aumentado la sensibilidad de la sociedad ante la conservación del medio ambiente, lo que ha llevado al desarrollo de materiales poliméricos derivados de recursos renovables. Estos nuevos materiales poliméricos presentan propiedades tales que pueden usarse para el desarrollo de 'green composites'. El principal objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es el desarrollo y optimización de 'green composites', utilizando matrices derivadas de aceites vegetales epoxidados y fibras minerales, que presentan propiedades similares a las fibras de vidrio. Las matrices utilizadas se basan en aceite de linaza epoxidado (ELO) y aceite de soja epoxidado (ESBO), y se han utilizado dos tipos de agentes entrecruzantes. Uno es una mezcla de anhídrido ftálico (PA), 23,8% en peso, y anhídrido maleico (MA), 76,2 % en peso, que presenta una transformación eutéctica al porcentaje dado y cuya temperatura de fusión ocurre a 48,3 ºC. El otro agente entrecruzante utilizado es anhídrido metil nádico (MNA) que es líquido a temperatura ambiente. Los materiales termoestables obtenidos ponen de manifiesto que el agente entrecruzante MNA proporciona materiales con mejores propiedades mecánicas y termomecánicas que los obtenidos con la mezcla de PA/MA. A partir de las resinas basadas en ELO-MNA y ESBO-MNA y fibras de basalto y pizarra, se realiza la evaluación de la entrecara de los composites mediante el test de fragmentación de una sola fibra (SFFT) y posteriormente se realiza y evalúa los materiales compuestos seleccionados. Las fibras de basalto se modifican con dos amino-silano (3-aminopropil)trimetoxisilano y [3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilano) y dos glicidil-silano trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabiciclo[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silano y (3-glicidiloxipropil) trimetoxisilano. El SFFT determina que el esfuerzo cortante en la entrecara (¿), de las fibras de basalto y las matrices ELO-MNA y ESBO-MNA, es más elevado con las fibras tratadas con el amino-silano [3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilano y con el glicidil-silano trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabiciclo[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silano con ambas matrices. Debido a los resultados obtenidos con la técnica SFFT se realizan materiales compuestos utilizando tejidos de basalto modificados con los silanos [3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilano y trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabiciclo[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silano. De esta forma se obtienen materiales compuestos con buenas propiedades mecánicas y se valida la técnica SFFT, ya que el material compuesto con mejores propiedades es realizado con los tejidos de basalto modificado con ([trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabiciclo[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silano, tal y como se predijo con la técnica SFFT. Las fibras de pizarra fueron tratadas con un amino-silano ([3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilano), un glicidil-silano trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabiciclo[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silano, un zirconato (zirconio(IV)bis(dietilcitrato)dipropóxido) y un titanato (titanio(IV)(trietanolaminato)isopropóxido y se seleccionó como matriz ELO-MNA debido a sus buenas propiedades mecánicas.La caracterización mecánica de los composites realizados con tejidos de pizarra reveló que los mejores resultados se obtienen utilizando los agentes de acoplamiento glicidil-silano y titanato. El 'green composite' que presenta las mejores propiedades mecánicas es el realizado con fibra de pizarra modificada con trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabiciclo[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silano y la resina ELO-MNA. Este material presenta una resistencia a flexión de 402,1 MPa, un módulo a flexión de 19,7 GPa, la resistencia a tracción es de 359,1 MPa y el Módulo de Young es de 25,6 GPa. Las buenas propiedades resistentes que presenta le permite poder sustituir a composites tradicionales realizados con fibra de vidrio.
[CAT] En els últims anys ha augmentat la sensibilitat de la societat davant la conservació del medi ambient, el que ha portat al desenvolupament de materials polimèrics derivats de recursos renovables. Aquests nous materials polimèrics presenten propietats tals que poden usar-se per al desenvolupament de ''green composites''. El principal objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral és el desenvolupament i optimització de ''green composites'', utilitzant matrius derivades d'olis vegetals epoxidats i fibres minerals, que presenten propietats similars a les fibres de vidre. Les matrius utilitzades es basen en oli de llinosa epoxidat (ELO) i oli de soia epoxidat (ESBO), i s'han utilitzat dos tipus d'agents d'entrecreuament. Un és una barreja d'anhídrid ftàlic (PA), 23,8 % en pes, i anhídrid maleic (MA), 76,2 % en pes, que presenta una transformació eutèctica al percentatge donat i la seua temperatura de fusió passa a 48,3 ºC. L'altre agent d'entrecreuament utilitzat és anhídrid metil nàdic (MNA) que és líquid a temperatura ambient. Els materials termostables obtinguts posen de manifest que l'agent d'entrecreuament MNA proporciona materials amb millors propietats mecàniques i termomecàniques que els obtinguts amb la mescla de PA/MA. A partir de les resines basades en ELO-MNA i ESBO-MNA i fibres de basalt i llicorella, es va realitzar l'avaluació interfacial dels 'composites' utilizant el test de fragmentació d'una única fibra (SFFT) i posteriorment es van fabricar i avaluar els materials compostos seleccionats. Les fibres de basalt es van modificar amb dos amino-silans ((3-aminopropil)trimetoxisilà i [3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilà) i dos glicidil-silans trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabicicle[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silà i 3-glicidiloxipropil)trimetoxisilà. El SFFT va determinar que l'esforç de tall interfacial (¿), de les fibres de basalt i les matrius ELO-MNA i ESBO-MNA, és més elevat amb les fibres tractades amb l'amino-silà [3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilà i amb el glicidil-silà ([trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabicicle[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silà amb ambdues matrius. Degut als resultats obtinguts amb la tècnica SFFT es van realitzar materials compostos utilitzant teixits de basalt modificats amb els silans [3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilà i trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabicicle[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silà. D'aquesta forma s'obtenen materials compostos amb bones propietats mecàniques i es va validar la tècnica SFFT, ja que el material compost amb millors propietats va ser realitzat amb els teixits de basalt modificat amb trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabicicle[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silà, tal com es va predir amb la tècnica SFFT. Les fibres de llicorella van ser tractades amb un amino-silà ([3-(2-aminoetilamino)propil]trimetoxisilà), un glicidil-silà trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabicicle [4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silà, un zirconat (zirconi(IV)bis(dietilcitrat) dipropòxid) i un titanat (titani(IV)(trietanolaminato)isopropòxid i es va seleccionar com a matriu ELO-MNA a causa de les seues bones propietats mecàniques. La caracterització mecànica dels 'composites' realitzats amb teixits de llicorella va revelar que els millors resultats s'obtenen utilitzant els agents d'acoblament glicidil-silà i titanat. El 'green composite' que presenta les millors propietats mecàniques és el realitzat amb fibra de llicorella modificada amb trimetoxi[2-(7-oxabicicle[4.1.0]hept-3-il)etil]silà i la resina ELO-MNA. Aquest material presenta una resistència a flexió de 402,1 MPa, un mòdul a flexió de 19,7 GPa, la resistència a tracció és de 359,1 MPa i el mòdul de Young és de 25,6 GPa. Les bones propietats resistents que presenta li permeten poder substituir a 'composites' tradicionals realitzats amb fibra de vidre.

Full text[ES] En este trabajo, en primer lugar, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio sobre la determinación experimental de la permeabilidad de un refuerzo fibroso. Para llegar a tal fin, se ha concebido y fabricado un banco de ensayo. Después de su calibración y ensayos preliminares, se realizaron unos ensayos dentro del marco de un ejercicio de medición concurrente Permeability Benchmark II, que re'une una docena de laboratorios a nivel internacional. Los resultados obtenidos se analizan con el objetivo de determinar los diferentes factores que provocan dispersiones en los resultados recolectados. Por otra parte, se ha estudiado el comportamiento a impacto de un material compuesto a partir de una matriz de polibutilén tereftalato reforzada con fibra de basalto. El trabajo se ha centrado en dos puntos principales. En primer lugar, la fabricación vía moldeo por transferencia de resina asistida por vacío. Posteriormente se ha realizado una caracterización física para determinar algunas propiedades tan determinantes como la densidad, la cristalinidad, el contenido de vacíos y de fibras. Teniendo en cuenta que para poder realizar una sólida interpretación de la respuesta frente a impactos de los laminados, además de la caracterización a impacto propiamente dicha, se ha estudiado la resistencia interlaminar. El rango de energía incidente cubre desde niveles muy bajos hasta alcanzar la energía de penetración. Cabe destacar que por motivos obvios, se ha realizado un estudio paralelo sobre una matriz epoxi reforzada con el mismo tejido. Actualmente, por razones relacionadas con el medioambiente, es importante buscar algunas alternativas a los materiales tradicionales utilizados para la fabricación de materiales compuestos. En este trabajo se ha realizado un estudio sobre la fabricación y la caracterización mecánica de un material tipo sándwich asimétrico a partir de una matriz bio-epoxi y refuerzos de lino y basalto, siendo el n'ucleo de corcho natural. Se ha estudiado la dinámica de absorción de agua y el comportamiento a flexión. Modificando los parámetros iniciales de ha podido influenciar la infiltración de la resina a través de los poros del corcho lo que modifica la rigidez local y por lo tanto el comportamiento del material.

El treball s'}ha centrat en dos punts principals. En primer lloc, la fabricació via model per transferència de resina assistida per buit. Posteriorment s'ha realitzat una caracterització física per determinar algunes propietats tan determinants com la densitat, la cristal·linitat, el contingut de buits i de fibres. Tenint en compte que per a poder realitzar una sòlida interpretació de la resposta enfront d'impacte dels laminats, a més de la caracterització a impacte pròpiament dita, s'ha estudiat la resistència interlaminar. El rang d'energia incident cobreix des de nivells molt baixos fins a aconseguir l'energia de penetració. Cal destacar que per motius obvis, s'ha realitzat un estudi paral·lel sobre una matriu epoxi reforçada amb el mateix teixit. Actualment, per raons relacionades amb el medi ambient, és important buscar algunes alternatives als materials tradicionals utilitzats per a la fabricació de materials compostos. En este treball s'ha realitzat un estudi sobre la fabricació i la caracterització mecànica d'un material tipus sandvitx asimètric a partir d'una matriu bio-epoxi i reforços de lli i basalt, sent el nucli de suro natural. S'ha estudiat la dinàmica d'absorció d'aigua i el comportament a flexió. Modificant els paràmetres inicials s'ha pogut influenciar la infiltració de la resina a través dels porus del suro, el que modifica la rigidesa local i per tant el comportament del material.

Full textThe fiber-optic data transmission systems have become the most admissible means of communication for the transmission of video, audio, voice and data; especially for high-speed communications. In this thesis project we are looking to design an FTTH network based on the GPON standard for the connection of video cameras for the district of San Martin de Porres, given the need to have an optical fiber network architecture; in addition, to have a reliable transmission medium for the camcorders to be deployed in the district. One of the great problems of the current architecture of wireless communications is the lack of capacity, growth and availability of bandwidth to be able to operate correctly with its citizen security systems. Thus, the Local Civic Security Plan 2017 - 2018 of the district is the document on which this project is based, in order to gather information and determine the critical locations that need to be covered by security camcorders. This project is part of the improvements to MAN network architectures such as the GPON standard of type FTTH (Fiber to the home) that is capable of covering large distances without the need to use signal repeaters and / or amplifiers, and In addition, it offers a wide transmission bandwidth, which provides reliability for the transmission and processing of information generated by security camcorders. It should also be mentioned that currently, this standard is being implemented by telecommunications operators that provide services through a single transmission medium that offers them a bandwidth.

Full textVisual system is complex by its anatomy and its function. Neuro-anatomists have been interested in understanding the link between the visual pathways and the brain for centuries. Classical brain fixation and dissection methods were used to describe the visual pathways identifiable macroscopically. Non–image visual pathway, particularly the part involves in saccadic eye movements network in human is still not mastered. Our current knowledge in SCM is based on animal studies, anatomic dissection and brain histopathology examination of specimens from patients with clinical basal ganglia (BG) disorders. Saccadic eye movements (SCM) are under the control of the basal ganglia (BG) and SCM circuitry within the BG represents a good model for studying pathology in the extra-pyramidal system. The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), which affects SEM and its distinction from non-dopaminergic, essential tremor (ET) where SEM are not impaired can be challenging and still relies on clinical observations. Diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tractography (DTI-FT), a new MRI technology, can be used to evaluate the presence and integrity of white matter tracts using directional diffusion patterns of water. The purpose of this study is to use DTI-FT to analyse SEM networks within BG and compare the SEM neural pathways or connectome of patients clinically diagnosed with PD and ET. To date, there are no studies, using DTI-FT for the extensive exploration of non-image visual pathways and SCM circuits, notably the deep brain connections. For this goal, we introduced the concept of SCM connectomes, derived from the general concept of connectome. Our study used structural MRI to identify nuclei and fascicles of the SCM connectome in PD and ET patients; imageries were acquired in routine clinical conditions fitted for DBS surgery. We found a reduction of the fiber number in two fascicles of the connectome in PDcompared to ET group

Full textBragg gratings optical filters can be considered one of the key elements in many integrated optical devices such as wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), optical fibre sensors, gain-flattening filters and add-drop multiplexers (OADM’s), optical couplers, resonators and modulators. Over the past decade, extensive research has been conducted in order to improve the unconventional fabrication techniques to obtain low-cost optical devices. Several Bragg gratings-based optical devices have been obtained by merging conventional and unconventional fabrication techniques. In my Phd, the device consists of a hybrid titanium (organic/inorganic Sol-Gel material) optical filter for the third’s telecommunication optical windows (1550 nm) based on Bragg gratings loaded channel waveguide. The fabrication of the device is obtained by merging conventional and unconventional technique. The unconventional fabrication technique is the Soft-Litography, a very innovative process based on Replica-molding and UV-nanoimprinting for micro- and nano- fabrication. This process is characterized by low cost and fast processing using relatively inexpensive tools. Starting from sub-micrometric gratings (master) fabricated on Silicon wafer by means of standard Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) a soft mold (stamp) has been produced by replica-molding. Using the stamp, the initial master structures (Bragg gratings) were replicated onto sol-gel photosensitive films by Uv-nanoimprinting. The resulting films underwent a further photolithographic step combined with Reactive Ion Etching (RIE), thus producing a channel waveguide with Bragg gratings on the top. This wavelength filter have been optically characterized by transmission measurements in the range 1450 nm – 1590 nm by a tuneable IR diode laser. The efficiency was about -10 dB and the bandwidth at Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) 1,7 nm. So, Titanium based wavelength filters, obtained by the merging of conventional photolithography and Soft-Lithography, have been demonstrated. The use of sol-gel technology with S-L methods makes thus possible to produce passive optical devices starting from a hard silicon master. Furthermore, thanks to high versatility of S-L process, a consistent replica of the master optical filter (i.e. channel with Bragg gratings) allows to replicate the pattern (at the nanometric scale) directly on a new sol-gel planar film. The morphological characterization by Atomic force microscopy of the replicated structure (optical filter), shows a good agreement with the Master. In conclusion, this means that we have obtained a simple process, low cost and industrially advantageous, to fabricate nanostructures on Sol-Gel matrix.
