Full textAbstract:
Monolithic ceramic materials have been used in industry for hundreds of years. These materials have proven their usefulness in many applications, yet, their potential for critical structural applications is limited. The existence of an imperfection in a monolithic ceramic on the order of several microns in size may be critical, resulting in catastrophic failure. To overcome this extreme sensitivity to sman material imperfections, reinforced ceramic materials have been developed. A ceramic matrix which has been reinforced with continuous fibers is not only less sensitive to microscopic flaws, but is also able to sustain significant damage without suffering catastrophic failure.
A borosilicate glass reinforced with several layers of plain weave silicon carbide cloth (Nicalon) has been studied. The mechanical testing which was performed included both flexural and tensile loading configurations. This testing was done not only to determine the material properties, but also to initiate a controlled amount of damage within each specimen.
Several nondestructive testing techniques, including acousto-ultrasonics (AU), were performed on the specimens periodically during testing. The AU signals were monitored through the use of an IBM compatible personal computer with a high speed data acquisition board. Software has been written which manipulates the AU signals in both the time and frequency domains, resulting in quantitative measures of the mechanical response of the material.
This paper will compare the measured AU parameters to both the mechanical test results and data from other nondestructive methods including ultrasonic C-scans and penetrant enhanced X-ray radiography.

Flammable solvents contained in liquid electrolytes pose a serious safety risk when used in lithium batteries. Oxide ceramic electrolytes are a safer alternative, but suffer from inadequate mechanical properties and ionic conductivity. Thin electrolyte layers resolve the issue of conductance, but accentuate the detrimental mechanical properties of oxide ceramics. The presented work has investigated oxide ceramic electrolyte reinforcement in composite electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries. Fabricating oxide ceramic electrolytes with engineered microstructure enabled development of a reinforced composite. This approach is based on the formation of 3D- porous ceramics via stereolithography printing of polymer templates from designed cubic, gyroid, diamond and bijel architectures. The microstructural parameters of templates were analysed and modified using computational techniques. Infiltration of the prepared 3D-porous electrolyte with polymeric-fibre reinforcement created the reinforced composite electrolyte. The prepared ceramic composite showed excellent reproduction of the template microstructure, good retention of ionic conductivity and enhanced mechanical properties. The final composite was composed of NASICON-type Li1.6Al0.6Ge1.4(PO4)3 oxide ceramic electrolyte and epoxy and aramid fibre reinforcement. The gyroid architecture was computationally determined as having the optimal stress transfer efficiency between two phases. The printed gyroid polymer template gave excellent pore microstructure reproduction in ceramic that had 3D-interconnected porosity, high relative density and the most uniform thickness distribution. The ceramic matrix porosity allowed for complete infiltration of reinforcement by aramid and epoxy forming the fibre-reinforced ceramic matrix composite. The interpenetrating composite microstructure with ceramic and epoxy gave a flexural strength increase of 45.65 MPa compared to the ceramic. Unfortunately, the infiltration procedure of aramid-epoxy reinforcement did not realise the full tensile strength potential of aramid fibres.

Full textAbstract:
A diverse range of microscopy techniques and mechanical testing methods have been used to characterize glass and glass-ceramic composites. The focus of the work has been a commercially available Barium Magnesium Aluminosilicate matrix reinforced by Tyranno SiC based yam type fibres. The mechanical behaviour has been related to the microstructure through use of models from the literature. The temperature range of study has been from room temperature to 1300°C in air. The microstructure of the BMAS(fyranno was a diphasic mixture of celsian and indialite/cordierite although the manufacturers intention was a monophasic bariumosumilite. The carbon rich interface was found to be thin (l0-15nm) but the composite displayed impressive strength when compared to similar glass-ceramic composites reported in the literature. The matrix could be converted to the equilibrium bariumosumilite phase by heating in an inert atmosphere at 1370°C (or possibly lower) but matrix elemental diffusion into the fibres is likely to impair fibre strength. Tensile failure was by conventional matrix microcracking with load transfer to the in line fibres. However the composite strength was found to be dependent upon the strain rate as was the microcracking threshold associated with cracking of the 0° plies. Failure of the UD BMAS(fyranno was by longitudinal splitting before the expected ultimate strength (from the 0,90° results) was reached. This was due to an apparent notch sensitivity in this fibre architecture, a trait not observed in the 2-D composite. Direct measurement methods were used to establish the interfacial shear strength and these were compared to various models. These were based on matrix cracking thresholds, matrix crack spacing and a relatively new method where an 'inelastic strain index' was found from loading and unloading curves or hysteresis loop widths. Greatest fidelity with the direct methods was found with the last of these models. As with all composites with carbon enriched interfaces oxidation of the interface and fibres was found to impair strength when tested in air at temperatures as low as 600°C and possibly below this when testing at lower strain rates. At high strain rates, near room-temperature-strengths were achieved, even at 1l00°C, as the degrading effects of the oxidizing environment had less time to act. Long term exposure at high temperatures (1200°C) was responsible for formation of an embrittled surface layer up to 70J.lm thick. Within this layer the fibres were severely degraded and strong bonding prevailed at the interface. At temperatures in excess of the expected fibre pyrolysis temperature, (l100°C), the composite was seen to shrink along the length of the fibre axis and dilate normal to it which was attributed to fibre instability. Stabilising the fibres by heat treatments at 1200°C for 24 hours was seen to improve the creep performance in terms of the total strain accumulated within the 100 hours of the creep tests. The creep was comparable to other commercial glass ceramics (CAS/Nicalon and BMAS/BN/SiC/Nicalon) indicating the dominance of fibre creep properties on those of the composite. Cycling of the creep load seemed to result in a greater embrittled depth from the surface but failure at 100MPa and 1200°C was not observed within 240 hours of testing. Other systems were investigated such as the CAS/Nicalon, MAS/Nicalon and AS/Nicalon. Of these the AS/Nicalon was used for modelling the creep behaviour since it represented a simple system where matrix creep was accompanied by elastic deformation of the fibres. A model from the literature was used to explain an apparent increase in the elastic modulus during load cycling at high temperature and also the lower strain accumulation seen during load cycling compared to conventional creep tests.

A mathematical model has been created based on J.D. Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method that can predict the elastic modulus and damping capability in the form of Joule heat for any piezoelectric ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composite system. Specifically, barium titanate (BaTiO₃), lead titanate (PbTiO₃), and zinc oxide (ZnO) piezoelectric ceramics have been modeled as dispersed particles shaped as spheres, prolate spheroids, and discs within a host of common structural metallic matrices including 304 stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, Ni-20wt%Cr, tin, titanium, Ti-6Al-4V(at%), and tungsten. Composite systems that were predicted to exhibit the greatest level of damping capacity include copper, aluminum, and magnesium matrices reinforced with PbTiO₃, BaTiO₃, and ZnO, in descending order of damping magnitude. In general, higher-conducting, lower-stiffness metallic matrices coupled with more-piezoelectric, higher-stiffness ceramic reinforcement resulted in the greatest level of predicted damping capability and enhanced composite elastic modulus. Additionally, a Ni-20wt%Cr-30v%BaTiO₃ composite has been created using mechanical alloying processing. Specifically, pure constituent powders were combined stoichiometrically in a SPEX milling vial utilizing a charge ratio of 4:1 and subsequently milled for 24 hours. Separate composite powder samples were then annealed in a hydrogen tube furnace at 400°C,
500°C, and 600°C for one and five hours at each temperature. X-ray diffraction was performed on the as-milled and the annealed powders revealing that each was composed of the starting constituents in the appropriate proportions. Representative powders were mounted and polished using common metallographic procedures and microstructures were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. All of the powders exhibited a good dispersion of BaTiO₃ particles ranging in diameter from 1μm to about 25nm with no noticeable difference between the as-milled and the annealed powders.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Matrix damage and its effects on mechanical properties have been examined for SiC (Nicalon1) fibre reinforced glass and glass ceramic matrix composites under quasi-static and fatigue loading conditions. Nicalon/Pyrex laminates of different lay-ups have been tested under quasi-static tension. The elastic moduli have been measured and matrix damage monitored as a function of applied strain. The mechanical properties are strongly influenced by the presence of crystalline regions in the matrix which promote microcracking. Laminated plate theory is used to provide bounds to the moduli of the laminates. For unidirectional and simple crossply Nicalon/CAS2 laminates the quasi-static stress/strain behaviour and associated matrix damage accumulation have been examined in detail. The damage development with applied stress was quantified by counts of crack density (in both longitudinal and transverse plies), stiffness loss and cumulative residual strain. The quasi static stress/strain behaviour during continuous tests (accumulating damage) and discontinuous tests (constant damage) have been modelled using a stress analysis based on Aveston, Cooper and Kelly (ACK) theory. The continuous stress/strain behaviour of (0/90) crossply laminates has been modelled using a shear-lag analysis developed previously to describe the transverse ply cracking behaviour of polymer matrix composites. The analysis is modified to account for longitudinal ply cracking. Matrix damage development in unidirectional and (0/90) crossply laminates under quasistatic cycling and high frequency fatigue loading have been studied. For unidirectional laminates stable stress/strain hysteresis loops were obtained during quasi-static cycling, corresponding to stable matrix damage states. These and similar loops obtained after high frequency fatigue are modelled using, the discontinuous stress/strain analysis. It is suggested that the effect of high frequency fatigue is to decrease the interfacial shear strength.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of thermal aging in air on a Nextel(TM) 720 aluminosilicate fibre reinforced alumina matrix material (N72O/AI2O3) has been investigated. Samples were aged at 1100oC for up to 4000 hours as well as for 200 hours at 1100°C, 1200°C, 1300°C, 1400°C and 1480°C. On completion of the thermal aging treatments, the microstructures of the samples were characterised, principally using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The mechanical properties of the material, flexural strength, Young's modulus and relative toughness, after aging were investigated using three point flexural testing. The as-received material was found to contain many voids and a large quantity of cracking that are believed to arise from in-complete matrix infiltration and green body production, respectively, during manufacture. It was found that the material does not meet the original proposed design criteria for this class of material. Initial results indicate that the 1100°C thermal aging treatment for up to 2000 hours has no detectable effect on the microstructure or properties of the material. After aging at 1100°C for 4000 hours, changes were detected in the material suggesting that prolonged thermal exposure of the material does have an effect on its properties, specifically a reduction in sample thickness indicating that the matrix may have densified slightly and a small increase in modulus and loss of aluminium from the fibre. In contrast, much shorter exposures to higher temperatures lead to significant changes to the microstructure, principally in terms of the reduction in porosity and grain growth in the matrix regions and an embrittlement of the material from an aging temperature of 1300°C, such that the material behaved as a monolithic ceramic after aging at 1480°C. Aging at 1200°C and above was found to cause a progressive decrease in the material thickness indicating a densification of the material. The fibre architecture was found to restrict densification in the plane of the fibre reinforcement. The mechanical properties of the material aged for 200 hours at 1200°C appear unaffected by the thermal aging. The aging of material at 1300°C was found to increase the Young's modulus to a maximum value after aging at 1400°C. Aging at 1480°C appeared to cause a slight decrease in the Young's modulus of the material. Aging of the material at 1300°C and above was found to cause a continuing reduction in the flexural strength of the material until a minimum value was reached after aging at 1480°C. A change in the microstructure of the fibre was initially observed after aging at 1300°C and was more pronounced after aging at 1400°C and 1480"C. A progressive growth of elongated alumina grains in the fibres was observed to occur as the meta-stable aluminium-rich mullite transformed to a silicon-rich mullite within the fibre. After aging at 1480°C the fibre was also observed to contain significant quantities of porosity. Furthermore, the fibre reinforcement appears to have lost aluminium, possibly to the matrix. The results of this investigation have found that the material is stable for aging periods of 2000 hours at 1100°C and for up to 200 hours at 1200°C. Whilst aging regimes of over 2000 hours at 1100°C may be acceptable, evidence has been found to suggest that the material is changing.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on developing novel modeling techniques for fiber-reinforced composites with polymer and ceramic matrix based on Peridynamic approach. To capture the anisotropic material behaviors of composites under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions, a new peridynamic model for composite laminate and a modified peridynamic approach for non-uniform discretization are proposed in this study. In order to achieve the numerical implementation of the proposed model and approach, a mixed implicit-explicit solver based on GPU parallel computing is developed as well.
The new peridynamic model for composite laminates does not have any limitation in fiber orientation, material properties and stacking sequence. It can capture the expected orthotropic material properties and coupling behaviors in laminates with symmetric and asymmetric layups. Unlike the previous models, the new model enables the evaluation of stress and strain fields in each ply of the laminate. Therefore, it permits the use of existing stress- or strain-based failure criteria for damage prediction. The computation of strain energy stored at material points allows the energy-based failure criteria required for delamination propagation and fatigue crack growth. The capability of this approach is verified against benchmark solutions, and validated by comparison with the available experimental results for three laminate layups with an open hole under tension and compression.
The modified peridynamic approach for non-uniform discretization enables computational efficiency and removes the effect of geometric truncations in the simulation. This approach is a modification to the original peridynamic theory by splitting the strain energy associated with an interaction between two material points according to the volumetric ratio arising from the presence of non-uniform discretization and variable horizon. It also removes the requirement for correction of peridynamic material parameters due to surface effects. The accuracy of this approach is verified against the benchmark solutions, and demonstrated by considering cracking in nuclear fuel pellet subjected to a thermal load with non-uniform discretizations.
Unlike the previous peridynamic simulations which primarily employs explicit algorithm, this study introduces implicit algorithm to achieve peridynamic simulation under quasi-static loading condition. The Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) and Generalized Minimal Residual (GMRES) algorithms are implemented with GPU parallel computing technology. Circulant preconditioner provides significant acceleration in the convergence of peridynamic analyses. To predict damage evolution, the simulation is continued with standard explicit algorithms. The validity and performance of this mixed implicit-explicit solver is established and demonstrated with benchmark tests.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for structural applications in the hot section of a gas turbine provides many potential benefits over conventional alloy materials, including facilitating elevated operating temperatures. The development of an oxide-oxide CMC composed of commercially available Nextel 720 (3M) fibres within a porous alumina matrix was presented. A simple, low cost processing method involving slurry impregnation and subsequent consolidation and densification was developed, facilitating the production of dried pre-impregnated fabric (‘pre-preg’) that can be stored in ambient conditions. Detailed investigation into the effect of three types of PVA binder, the effect of 0-20wt% additions of an alumina precursor (ACH), the influence of a bimodal particle distribution and the effect of sintering at temperatures between 1100 and 1300°C on processing and mechanical properties was completed in order to optimise the material. The optimised composite material, composed of Nextel 720 fibres within a submicron alumina particle matrix with 10wt% ACH sintered at 1200°C, exhibited mean flexural strength >205MPa, short beam shear strength >12MPa and tensile strength >146MPa. These results were comparable to similar oxide CMCs previously reported, validating this material.

In this work, the deformation and strength of an oxide/oxide ceramic matrix composite system under stress-rupture conditions were studied both experimentally and analytically. A rupture model for unidirectional composites which incorporates fiber strength statistics, fiber degradation, and matrix damage was derived. The model is based on a micromechanical analysis of the stress state in a fiber near a matrix crack and includes the effects of fiber pullout and global load sharing from broken to unbroken fibers. The parameters required to produce the deformation and lifetime predictions can all be obtained independently of stress-rupture testing through quasi-static tension tests and tests on the individual composite constituents. Thus the model is truly predictive in nature. The predictions from the model were compared to the results of an extensive experimental program. The model captures the trends in steady-state creep and tertiary creep but the lifetime predictions are extremely conservative. The model was further extended to the behavior of cross-ply or woven materials through the use of numeric representations of the fiber stresses as the fibers bridge matrix cracks. Comparison to experiments on woven materials demonstrated the relationship between the behavior of the unidirectional and cross-ply geometries. Finally, an empirical method for predicting the durability of materials which exhibit multiple damage modes is examined and compared to results of accurate Monte Carlo simulations. Such an empirical method is necessary for the durability analysis of large structural members with varying stress and temperature fields over individual components. These analyses typically require the use of finite element methods, but the extensive computations required in micromechanical models render them impractical. The simple method examined in this work, however, is shown to have applicability only over a narrow range of material properties.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Wear resistant surfaces with high toughness and impact resistant properties are to be created to improve the life cycle cost of brake discs for trains. A potential solution to this industrial problem is to use an arc cladding process. This work describes the application of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) for a structural ceramic Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) on steel. The structure of the two ceramics examined indicates the possibility of development of a wear resistant surface, which would extend the life of the brake disc. Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Tungsten Carbide (WC) ceramics were studied to embed them in a steel matrix by an advanced GTAW method. WC particles penetrated the liquid weld pool and also partially dissolved in the steel matrix, whereas, SiC because of the physical properties never penetrated deeper into the weld pool but segregated on the surface. Successful embedding and bonding of WC led to the decision to exercise an in-depth analysis of the bonding between the WC particles and the matrix. Chemical analysis of the matrix revealed more WC dissolution as compared to particle form within the clad. It was observed that WC reinforcement particles built a strong chemical bond with the steel matrix. This was shown by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The hard clad layer composed of WC reinforced steel matrix gave an matching friction coefficient to high-strength steel in cold wear conditions through Pin-on-Disc wear and friction testing. A prototype railway brake disc was created with the established GTAW parameters to find out the difficulties of producing industrial scale components.

The work of this Ph.D. thesis has been realised in the field of a promising and largely studied technological material: the carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Since 1991 a large number of attempts have been conducted, trying to exploit the outstanding potential of this carbonaceous material, in order to improve the properties of several matrices. The most important application is the production of polymer matrices composites (PMCs), but in last decades an increasing number of metal matrix ones (MMCs) have been presented and recently also ceramic matrix (CMCs) applications have been attempted. Despite massive efforts focused on CNTs-composites, the potential of employing this reinforcement materials has not yet been fully exploited. This lack is substantially due to the difficulties associated with the dispersion of entangled carbon nanotubes during processing and poor interfacial interaction between CNTs and matrix materials. Because of these reasons the very first aspect of this work has been the study of the dispersion state of nanotubes. The aim of the experiments was not only to obtain a good dispersion and distribution of the CNTs, but also to evaluate their dispersion grade. Indeed, due to their nanosize and to their carbonaceous nature, few simple experimental techniques result suitable for this purpose. The second part of the work consisted in the application of the carbon nanotubes to the production of new materials for technological applications, with improved mechanical properties. Three composite materials with different matrices have been designed, developed and produced: a polymer matrix composite, a ceramic matrix and a metal matrix one. For PMCs a polyvinyl butyral matrix has been used and the composites were obtained by a deeply studied technique: the tape casting technology. The same approach was also used in the case of CMCs: tape casted silicon carbide matrix composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes have been produced. Finally a third matrix has been experimented: MMCs were investigated starting from pure aluminium powders. For Al matrix composites a particular technique was used: the sintering was obtained starting from a powder metallurgy approach and exploiting electric current and pressure (Electric Current Assisted Sintering approach). For all the three different composite materials, after the development of the production route and the preparation of several specimens, a characterization step followed. The materials were characterized in terms of physical properties, morphology and microstructure, and mechanical behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
The challenges faced in today’s industry require materials capable of working in chemically aggressive environments at elevated temperature, which has fueled the development of oxidation resistant materials. All-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (OCMC) are a promising material family due to their inherent chemical stability, moderate mechanical properties, and low weight. However, limited information exists regarding their behavior when in contact with other high-temperature materials such as superalloys. In this work three sets of tribological tests were performed: two at room temperature and one at elevated temperature (650 °C). The tests were performed in a pin-on-disk configuration testing Inconel 718 (IN-718) pins against disks made with an aluminosilicate geopolymeric matrix composite reinforced with alumina fibers (N610/GP). Two different loads were tested (85 and 425 kPa) to characterize the damage on both materials. Results showed that the pins experienced ~ 100 % wear increase when high temperature was involved, while their microstructure was not noticeably affected near the contact surface. After high temperature testing the OCMC exhibited mass losses two orders of magnitude higher than the pins and a sintering effect under its wear track, that led to brittle behavior. The debris generated consists of alumina and suggests a possible crystallization of the originally amorphous matrix which may destabilize the system. The data suggests that while the composite’s matrix is stable, wear will not develop uncontrollably. However, as soon as a critical load/temperature combination is attained the matrix is the first component to fail exposing the reinforcement to damage which drastically deteriorates the integrity of the component.

The aim of this study was to produce partially reinforced aluminum metal matrix
composite components by insertion casting technique and to determine the effects
of silicon content, fiber vol% and infiltration temperature on the mechanical
properties of inserts, which were the local reinforcement parts of the components.
Silicon content of alloys was selected as 7 wt% and 10 wt%. The reinforcement
material, i.e. Saffil fiber preforms, had three different fiber vol% of 20, 25 and 30
vol% respectively. The infiltration temperatures of composite specimens were fixed
as 750 °C and 800 °
C. In the first part of the thesis, physical and mechanical properties of composite specimens were determined according to the parameters of silicon content of the matrix alloy, infiltration temperature and vol% of the reinforcement phase. X-ray diffraction examination of fibers resulted as the fibers mainly composed of deltaalumina fibers and scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that fibers had planar isotropic condition for infiltration. Microstructural examination of composite specimens showed that appropriate fiber/matrix interface was created together with small amount of micro-porosities. Bending tests of the composites showed that as fiber vol% increases flexural strength of the composite increases. The highest strength obtained was 880.52 MPa from AlSi10Mg0.8 matrix alloy reinforced with 30 vol% Saffil fibers and infiltrated at 750 °
C. Hardness values were also increased by addition of Saffil fibers and the highest value was obtained as 191 HB from vertical to the fiber orientation of AlSi10Mg0.8 matrix alloy reinforced with 30 vol% Saffil fibers. Density measurement revealed that microporosities existed in the microstructure and the highest difference between the theoretical values and experimental values were observed in the composites of 30 vol% Saffil fiber reinforced ones for both AlSi7Mg0.8 and AlSi10Mg0.8 matrix alloys. In the second part of the experiments, insertion casting operation was performed. At casting temperature of 750 °
C, a good interface/component interface was obtained. Image analyses were also showed that there had been no significant fiber damage between the insert and the component.

Full textAbstract:
Thermal spray coatings offer new alternatives in the production of electronic power modules that use alumina ceramic as an isolation layer. Current processes use direct bond copper (DBC) soldered to a nickel plated copper heat spreader. A coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch exists between copper and alumina and leads to reliability issues that arise due to product failure during thermal cycling and lifetime operation. The substitution of an AlSiC metal matrix composite (MMC) heat spreader baseplate addresses the problem of CTE mismatch and will reduce the number of product failures related to cracking and delamination caused by this pronounced mismatch in the thermal expansion coefficient..
The substitution of an AlSiC (MMC) heat spreader baseplate also allows the production process to be achieved with a fewer number of metallization layers. Thermal spray can apply alumina ceramic coatings directly to the AlSiC (MMC) baseplates. A reduction in process steps will lead to a reduction in manufacturing costs, the main driving objective in Microelectronics Industries.
Thermal spray coatings have a major problem since they have a porous microstructure which can trap undesired moisture. The moisture basically causes the coatings to have a lower dielectric breakdown voltage and a higher leakage current at normal operating voltages. This problem can be eliminated by manufacturing the electronic power modules in a controlled environment and packaging the devices in a hermetically sealed package.
This thesis analyzes the data obtained from direct-voltage dielectric breakdown and direct-voltage leakage current tests conducted on coupons manufactured using the thermal plasma spray coating process and the thermal high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) coating process. ASTM specifications defining appropriate testing procedures are used in testing the dielectric strength of these coupons.
Issues relating to the dielectric strength and dielectric leakage current are evaluated and validated at the Microelectronics Laboratory at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. The objective to conduct this research study using plasma and HVOF alumina coatings as dielectric isolation layers is to support the Microelectronics Industries in developing a product with increased reliability at a lower manufacturing cost.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, des vitrocéramiques et composites à matrice verres ont été élaborés avec pour objectif principal d’étudier les interactions entre la fissure et les différentes inclusions. Dans un premier temps, la nucléation et la cristallisation volumique de sphérulites dans un verre du système BaO-Al2O3-SiO2 ont été étudiées. Puis, l’influence de la cristallisation sur l’élasticité, la dureté et la ténacité a été mesurée. Il est apparu une augmentation de ces propriétés suite à la cristallisation. Après dopage avec des oxydes de terres rares, le verre a été fonctionnalisé par l’apparition de cristaux phosphorescents à la surface du matériau. Dans un second temps, l’influence d’un différentiel de coefficient de Poisson (entre la matrice et les inclusions) sur la propagation d’une fissure a été étudiée. Pour cela des composites à particules et matrices vitreuses ont été élaborés par Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) et étudiés par Double Cleavage Drilled Compression (DCDC). Il a été mis en lumière une déviation de la fissure quand cette dernière arrive à proximité des inclusions vitreuses dans le cas où le coefficient de Poisson de l’inclusion est inférieur à celui de la matrice. Une déviation de moindre importance a été observée dans le cas inverse. Enfin, des nanocomposites fonctionnalisés par des particules de magnétite (Fe3O4) et d’or ont été obtenus suite à un frittage SPS. Les propriétés apportées par ces particules ont permis le chauffage du matériau, respectivement, par induction et par irradiation laser. Dans le deuxième cas, après un traitement laser de 10 min, une cicatrisation partielle de fissures d’indentation a pu être observéeIn this thesis, glass-ceramics and glass matrix composites have been developed in order to study the interactions between the crack and the various inclusions. Firstly, the nucleation and volume crystallization of spherulites in a glass of the BaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were studied. Then, the influence of crystallization on elasticity, hardness and toughness was measured. An increase of these properties due to crystallization was observed. After doping with rare earths oxides, the glass was functionalized by surface crystallization of phosphorescent crystals. Secondly, the influence of a Poisson’s ratio differential (between the matrix and inclusions) on the crack propagation was studied. For this purpose, glassy particulate glass matrix composites have been elaborated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and studied by Double Cleavage Drilled Compression (DCDC). A deviation of the crack in the vicinity of the glass inclusions has been identified in the case where the Poisson’s ratio of the inclusion is lower than the one of the matrix. In the opposite case, less important deviations were noticed. Finally, nanocomposites functionalized with magnetite (Fe3O4) and gold particles were obtained after a SPS treatment. The properties provided by these particles allowed the material to be heated, respectively, by induction and by laser irradiation. In the second case, after a 10 min laser treatment, a partial healing of indentation cracks could be observed

Full textAbstract:
La simulation des procédés de production des composites à renforts tissés est un enjeu majeur pour les industries de pointe, où leur utilisation s’intensifie. La maitrise des procédés d’obtention des composites à matrice et fibres en céramique, notamment les étapes de mise en forme et de pyrolyse, s’avère primordiale. La connaissance et la simulation du comportement mécanique aux différentes étapes est nécessaire pour optimiser les performances des pièces finales. Deux approches de modélisation macroscopique des renforts tissés épais de composite sont détaillées : une approche continue classique et une approche semi-discrète. Pour cela, une loi de comportement hyperélastique initialement orthotrope est développée. Cette loi est basée sur l’observation phénoménologique des modes de déformation privilégiés, à partir desquels sont proposés des invariants physiques de la transformation. L’identification des paramètres matériaux nécessaires est décrite. Une version modifiée de cette loi, sans contribution en tension, est implémentée dans un élément semi-discret, où le travail en tension est alors pris en compte par des barres discrétisant le tissage réel. Les importantes différences de rigidités entre sollicitations en tension et en cisaillements font des renforts tissés épais des matériaux fortement anisotropes. Leur modélisation numérique met en évidence des phénomènes parasites ou des limitations liés à cette spécificité. Le phénomène de verrouillage en tension est tout d’abord mis en évidence. Une solution basée sur une formulation éléments finis enhanced assumed strain est proposée pour des éléments continus classiques ou semi-discrets. Puis des problèmes liés aux simulations numériques dominées par la flexion sont soulevés : l’hourglassing transverse et l’absence de résistance locale à la courbure. Dans le cas de l’hourglassing transverse, deux méthodes de rigidification de ces modes de déplacement sont proposées : par moyennage des dilatations dans l’élément ou par ajout d’une rigidité matérielle tangente supplémentaire. Pour l’introduction d’une résistance à la courbure, une méthode basée sur l’utilisation purement numérique de plaques rotation free est proposée. Celles-ci permettent le calcul de la courbure induisant, par l’intermédiaire d’un moment de flexion, des efforts internes supplémentaires. Finalement, la modélisation du retour élastique après pyrolyse de la matrice organique à précurseurs céramique est réalisée. Le comportement de la matrice pyrolysée est identifié expérimentalement à l’aide d’une loi hyperélastique isotrope transverse. L’addition de cette loi, qui prend comme référence la préforme déformée, à la loi de comportement initiale du renfort tissé permet de visualiser les déformations obtenues en fin de pyrolyse. Cette modélisation est comparée à des résultats expérimentauxManufacture processes modeling of woven fabrics composites is a major stake for state-of-the-art industrial parts, where their usage is intensifying. Control of all the manufacturing stages of ceramic matrix composites, particularly the forming and pyrolysis steps, is essential. Understanding and simulation of the mechanical behavior at each stage is required to optimize the final product performances. Two macroscopic modeling approaches of thick woven fabric reinforcements are detailed: a continuous classical one and a semi-discrete one. An initially orthotropic hyperelastic constitutive law is thus established. This law is based on a phenomenological observation of the main fabric deformation modes, from where physical invariants of the deformation are suggested. The required material parameters identification is explained. A modified version of this law, without any tensile energetic contribution, is implemented in a semi-discrete element where the tensile work is taken into account by bars that discretize the real weaving. Thick woven reinforcements are highly anisotropic materials due to the large ratio between the tensile rigidity and the others. Their numerical modeling highlights spurious phenomena and limitations related to this specificity. The tension locking is firstly tackled. A remedy based on an enhanced assumed strain finite element formulation is suggested for classical continuum and semi-discrete elements. Problems linked to bending-dominated numerical simulations are brought to attention : transverse hourglassing and lack of local bending stiffness. For the transverse hourglassing situation, two stiffening technics are proposed : averaging the dilatation through the whole element or adding a supplementary tangent material rigidity in a specific direction. The local bending stiffness problem is solved by calculating the curvature inside the element by using rotation free plates. The induced bending moment leads to supplementary internal loads. Finally, the elastic springback following the pyrolysis of the polymer matrix with ceramic precursors is modeled. The constitutive behavior is experimentally identified with a transverse isotropic hyperelastic law. Added to the initial reinforcements’ hyperelastic law, with the preformed fabric as reference configuration, the pyrolysis induced deformations can be visualized. This final model is compared with experimental results

This study was intended to investigate the mechanical properties and microstructure of iron based composite reinforced by ultra high temperature ceramics fabricated by powder metallurgy technique. The fabrication parameters were optimized and composite samples with different volume fraction of TiB2 were fabricated and were subjected to different mechanical tests. The results indicated improving in mechanical properties of Fe-TiB2 composites by increasing the volume fraction of TiB2 up to 20 vol%. More TiB2 particles didn?t improve the mechanical properties of composite, instead adversely affected it due to increasing the chance of agglomeration and porosity in entire microstructure. Another finding showed the twofold characteristic of TiB2 on mechanical properties of composite via increasing the hardness and decreasing the bulk density of composite. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) have also been performed on microstructural based developed models to simulate failure of composites. Numerical simulation results could verify the experimental results.

Les recherches sont menées à la fois sur le plan expérimental et sur le plan théorique. La démarche mise en oeuvre consiste à examiner deux échelles significatives (Microet Meso) auxquelles agissent des mécanismes d’endommagement différents et à évaluer pardes techniques d’homogénéisation l’effet sur les propriétés thermiques effectives.Une attention particulière a été donnée à l’élaboration d’une démarche expérimentale approfondieassociant des moyens de caractérisation mécanique, thermique et microstructurale.

Des variantes de la méthode flash en face arrière sont mises en oeuvre pour l’étude du composite tissé.

Research are conductedboth experimentally and theoretically. The implemented approach is to consider two significantscales (micro and meso) where different damage mechanisms are operating and then assess theeffect on the effective thermal properties by homogenization techniques.Particular attention has been given to the development of a thorough experimental work combiningvarious characterization tools (mechanical, thermal and microstructural). At the two aforementionedscales, an experimental setup was designed to perform thermal measurements onCMC under tensile test. Thermal diffusivity of minicomposites is estimated using Lock-in thermography.Also, tranverse diffusivity mapping as well as global in-plane diffusivity of woven CMCare determined by suitable rear face flash methods. The evolution of damage is then derived fromacoustic emission activity along with postmortem microstructural observations. Experimental resultsare systematically compared to simulations. At microscale, a micromechanical-based modelis used to simulate the loss of thermal conductivity of a minicomposite under tensile test. At mesoscale,a multiscale Finite ElementModel is proposed to compute the effect of damage on thermalproperties of woven CMC

Full textAbstract:
Le développement des moteurs aéronautiques du futur a permis d’accentuer les recherches concernant les matériaux composites thermostructuraux SiC/SiC. La voie classique d’élaboration de ces matériaux consiste en l’infiltration de la matrice via un procédé par voie gazeuse. Due à leur porosité résiduelle importante, ces matériaux possèdent une faible conductivité thermique. Cette dernière peut générer de forts gradients thermiques pouvant entrainer une rupture prématurée de la pièce. Afin de réduire cette porosité, un procédé alternatif peut être utilisé : l’infiltration par du silicium liquide (procédé MI : Melt Infiltration). L’objectif de ce travail est de comprendre l’ensemble des mécanismes intervenant au cours de l’infiltration du silicium au sein d’une préforme fibreuse composée de fibres SiC Hi-Nicalon S. Ce procédé nécessite une étape en amont de l’imprégnation du silicium consistant en l’introduction de particules de SiC au sein de la préforme.La première partie de ce travail a consisté d’une part, en la définition de l’architecture poreuse des matériaux et, d’autre part, en la réalisation de tests de montée capillaire en utilisant des fluides organiques modèles. A l’aide de l’équation de Washburn, il est ainsi possible d’identifier des tailles de pores caractéristiques au sein de la préforme fibreuse et de la matrice granulaire et de prévoir le courbes d’ascension capillaire du silicium liquide au sein des matériaux. La seconde partie de ce travail décrit la mise en place d’un four permettant de réaliser le suivi in-situ de la prise de masse en silicium au cours du procédé MI. Une comparaison entre les résultats expérimentaux et les courbes prévisionnelles obtenues à l’aide de l’équation de Washburn a ainsi pu être effectuée. La dernière partie de ce travail a consisté en la réalisation d’essai d’imprégnation partielle afin d’identifier les mécanismes de montée capillaire du silicium liquide durant le procédé MIThe development of aeronautic engines increased the need in high temperature SiC/SiC composite researches. A standard way to proceed is to infiltrate the matrix by chemical vapor infiltration. Due to their high porosity, their thermal conductivity is generally low. This could lead to strong thermal gradients and an early failure in a harsh environment. To reduce porosity, an alternative process can be used: the infiltration of molten silicon (MI: Melt Infiltration). The aim of this work is to understand all mechanisms occurring during the infiltration of silicon in a fibrous preform composed of SiC Hi-Nicalon S fibers. This process needs a first step which consists in the introduction of SiC particles into the preform before the MI process.First, this work focused on the definition of the porous structure of studied materials and capillarity tests using wetting organic solvent. With the use of Washburn’s law, it was possible to identify pore sizes within the fibrous preform and the granular matrix, and so to predict the capillarity ascent graphs of molten silicon into our material. A second part was devoted to the conception of an infiltration furnace which allows in situ following of the samples weight gain. The correlation between graphs obtained with the Washburn model and the experimental process could be established. Finally, the last part of this work presents partial infiltrations of molten silicon into studied materials which permit to identify capillary mechanisms occurring during the MI process

Vielschichtige Eigenschaftsprofile benötigen zunehmend moderne Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde einschließlich der raschen Entfaltung neuer Fertigungstechnologien, da der monolithische Werkstoff bzw. ein einziger Werkstoff den heutigen komplexen Anforderungen nicht mehr genügen kann. Zukünftige Werkstoffsysteme haben wirtschaftlich eine Schlüsselposition und sind auf den Wachstumsmärkten von grundlegender Bedeutung. Gefragt sind maßgeschneiderte Leichtbauwerkstoffe (tailor-made composites) mit einem adaptierten Design. Dazu müssen Konzepte entwickelt werden, um die Kombination der Komponenten optimal zu gestalten. Das erfordert werkstoffspezifisches Wissen und Korrelationsvermögen sowie die Gestaltung komplexer Technologien, auch unter dem Aspekt der kontinuierlichen Massen- und Großserienfertigung (in-line, in-situ) und damit der Kostenreduzierung bislang teurer Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird in vergleichbarer und vergleichender Art und Weise sowie abstrahierter Form ein Bogen über das Gesamtgebiet der Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde gespannt. Eine zusammenfassende Publikation über dieses noch sehr junge, aber bereits breit aufgestellte Wissenschaftsgebiet fehlt bislang. Das ist der Separierung der einzelnen, fest aufgeteilten Gruppierungen der Verbundwerkstoffe geschuldet. Querverbindungen werden selten hergestellt. Dieses Defizit in einem gewissen Maße auszugleichen, ist Ziel der Arbeit. Besondere Berücksichtigung finden Begriffsbestimmungen und Klassifikationen, Herstellungsverfahren und Eigenschaften der Werkstoffe. Es werden klare Strukturierungen und Übersichten herausgearbeitet. Zuordnungen von etablierten und neuen Technologien sollen zur Begriffsstabilität der Terminologien „Mischbauweise“ und „Hybrider Verbund“ beitragen. Zudem wird die Problematik „Recycling und Recyclingtechnologien“ diskutiert. Zusammenfassend werden Handlungsfelder zukünftiger Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte spezifiziert. Aus dem Blickwinkel der verschiedenen Herstellungsrouten insbesondere für Halbzeuge und Bauteile und der dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden verallgemeinerte Konzepte für tailor-made Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde vorgeschlagen („Stellschraubenschema“). Diese allgemeinen Werkstoffkonzepte werden auf eigene aktuelle Forschungsprojekte der Schwerpunktthemen Metallmatrix- und Polymermatrix-Verbundwerkstoffe sowie der hybriden Werkstoffverbunde appliziert. Forschungsfelder für zukünftige Projekte werden abgeleitet. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den hybriden Verbunden als tragende Säule zukünftiger Entwicklungen im Leichtbau. Hier spielen in-line- und in-situ-Prozesse eine entscheidende Rolle für eine großseriennahe, kosteneffiziente und ressourcenschonende ProduktionComplex property profiles require increasingly advanced composite materials and material compounds, including the rapid deployment of new production technologies, because the monolithic material or a single material can no longer satisfy today's complex requirements. Future material systems are fundamentally important to growth markets, in which they have an economically key position. Tailor-made lightweight materials (tailor-made composites) with an adapted design are needed. These concepts have to be developed to design the optimum combination of components. This requires material-specific knowledge and the ability to make correlations, as well as the design of complex technologies. Continuous large-scale and mass production (in-line, in-situ), thus reducing the costs of previously expensive composite materials and material compounds, is also necessary. The present work spans the entire field of composite materials and material compounds in a comparable and comparative manner and abstract form. A summarizing publication on this still very new, but already broad-based scientific field is not yet available. The separation of the individual, firmly divided groups of the composite materials is the reason for this. Cross-connections are rarely made. The objective of this work is to compensate to some extent for this deficiency. Special consideration is given to definitions and classifications, manufacturing processes and the properties of the materials. Clear structures and overviews are presented. Mapping established and new technologies will contribute to the stability of the terms "mixed material compounds" and "hybrid material compounds". In addition, the problem of recycling and recycling technologies is discussed. In summary, areas for future research and development projects will be specified. Generalized concepts for tailor-made composite materials and material compounds are proposed ("adjusting screw scheme") with an eye toward various production routes, especially for semi-finished products and components, and the associated findings. These general material concepts are applied to own current research projects pertaining to metal-matrix and polymer-matrix composites and hybrid material compounds. Research fields for future projects are extrapolated. Particular attention is paid to hybrid material compounds as the mainstay of future developments in lightweight construction. In-line and in-situ processes play a key role for large-scale, cost- and resource-efficient production

L’ouverture du marché de l’aéronautique civil aux matériaux composites à matrice céramique impose le développement de nouveaux procédés d’élaboration compatibles avec les cadences de production et les coûts de fabrication du secteur.À cette fin, des travaux expérimentaux ont été menés pour élaborer une matrice à base d’oxynitrure de silicium (Si2N2O) par procédé SHS, ou synthèse par combustion, à partir d’un mélange de poudres réactives.L’oxynitrure de silicium est une céramique thermostructurale prometteuse, caractérisée par de bonnes propriétés mécaniques, mais également par une résistance à l’oxydation supérieure à celle du carbure de silicium.Le procédé SHS est un procédé d’élaboration rapide dont le moteur est une réaction chimique suffisamment exothermique pour s’entretenir sans apport d’énergie extérieur.Les poudres sont préalablement broyées, mises en suspension, puis imprégnées dans une préforme fibreuse composée de fibres en carbure de silicium de dernière génération (Hi-Nicalon S). La réaction SHS est ensuite réalisée dans un réacteur spécialement conçu et dédié à cette étude.Une attention particulière a été portée sur l’optimisation des paramètres d’élaboration pour la synthèse d’une matrice à base Si2N2O. La synthèse s’effectue par la nitruration sous pression d’un mélange dans les bonnes proportions d’une poudre de silicium et d’une poudre de silice. La réaction chimique s’amorce à la température de fusion du silicium. La pression d’élaboration et la vitesse de montée en température constituent les paramètres principaux régissant la composition et la microstructure de la matrice. Ces paramètres ont fait l’objet d’une étude expérimentale approfondie pour parvenir à une matrice homogène, composée à plus de 90% d’oxynitrure de silicium et assurant un taux de porosité résiduelle du composite inférieur à 10%. Ce travail a été complété par le calcul des propriétés élastoplastiques de la matrice, par la caractérisation mécanique à l’échelle du composite, et par un test de vieillissement en température sous air humideThe opening of the civil aviation market to ceramic matrix composite materials requires the development of new methods of producing compatible with the production rates and manufacturing costs of the sector.For this purpose, experimental work was conducted to develop a silicon oxynitride matrix (Si2N2O) by combustion synthesis (or SHS), from reactive powders. In recent years, Si2N2O has emerged as a promising new high-temperature ceramic material, characterized by not only good mechanical properties, but also by a higher oxidation resistance than silicon carbide. The underlying basis of SHS relies on the ability of highly exothermic reactions to be self-sustaining and, therefore, energetically efficient. Powders are first milled, dispersed and stabilized in aqueous media, and then impregnated into a fibrous preform composed of the latest generation of silicon carbide fibers (Hi-Nicalon S). SHS reaction is then carried out in a reactor specially designed and dedicated to this study. Particular attention was focused on the optimization of experimental parameters for the synthesis of a Si2N2O based matrix. Silicon metal in a mixture with silica powder was combusted under pressurized nitrogen gas into silicon oxynitride. The pressure and the temperature rise rate were the principal parameters for the composition and microstructure of the matrix. These parameters have been the subject of extensive experimental work to reach a homogeneous matrix with a very high formation rate for silicon oxynitride (more than 90wt%) and with a level of residual porosity lower than 10%. This work was completed by the calculation of the physical properties of the matrix, by the mechanical characterization of the composite material, and finally by a temperature aging test under moist air

Des caractérisations morphologiques par porosimétrie et par μ-tomographie sont réalisées afin d’estimer la répartition des hétérogénéités et ainsi d’établir les microstructures représentatives de chaque nuance. En se basant sur ces analyses, une étude du comportement mécanique des nuances d’étude est réalisée à plusieurs échelles. Dans un premier temps, une étude des propriétés mécaniques à l’échelle macroscopique, représentative du matériau est effectuée à l’aide d’essais de traction dans le plan de tissage. En parallèle, des essais in-situ sont mis en place afin d’observer l’évolution de l’endommagement des microstructures. Ces observations permettent d’améliorer la compréhension du rôle des hétérogénéités sur l’activation des mécanismes d’endommagement. Le suivi de l’EA (Emission Acoustique) des essais est utilisé pour analyser la cinétique d’endommagement des nuances de composites oxydes. En plus de l’analyse globale de l’activité acoustique, des classifications des signaux d’EA sont réalisées. Ces classifications se basent sur la détection de signaux d’EA à l’aide de deux types de capteurs présentant des caractéristiques différentes. Une labellisation des classes est proposée en confrontant les activités de ces classes aux mécanismes d’endommagement observés lors des essais in-situ. Le couplage de l’ensemble de ces informations permet de constituer le scénario d’endommagement de chaque nuance. Il est ainsi possible d’établir le rôle de chaque type d’hétérogénéités sur le comportement mécanique des composites oxydesThe aim of this thesis is the fine understanding on the influence of the microstructure on oxide-based ceramic matrix composites mechanical properties. These materials are good candidate for new generation of civil aircraft engines. The aim of this work is to establish a relationship between the microstructural defects generated by the manufacturing process and the mechanical behavior of the composite. These heterogeneities seem to influence the appearance and the propagation of damage mechanisms. This study is realized on three kinds of bi-dimensional oxide composites generated from three different manufacturing processes. These processes create three kinds of microstructure. Porosimetric and μ-tomographic analyses allow estimating the distribution of microstructural defects and establish typical microstructure of each oxide composite. Based on these preliminary analyses, mechanical behavior of each kind of oxide composites is studied through several representative scales. On the one hand, mechanical tensile tests are carried out in order to estimate the mechanical properties of the studied materials in the weaving plane. On the other hand, the implementation of in-situ mechanical tests allows the visualization of damage mechanisms appearance and propagation. These observations improve the understanding of the role of microstructural defects on the activation of damage mechanisms. Damage kinetics of each mechanical test are inspected through AE (Acoustic emission) analysis. This monitoring helps to link mechanical behavior with microstructural damage. In parallel with global AE analysis, AE clustering is achieved. These classifications are based on two kinds of AE sensor with different properties. Data fusion from the two sensors is accomplished. This technique allows more robust AE clustering. Cluster labelling is proposed thanks to damage mechanisms observed during in-situ mechanical tests. Damage scenarios are set up owing to macroscopic mechanical test, in-situ analysis and AE labelling. Thus, it is possible to establish the influence of each kind of microstructural defect on oxide-based CMCs mechanical behavior

Full textAbstract:
La durabilité et la fiabilité sont deux facteurs clés dont la maîtrise est essentielle en vue de l’utilisation des composites à matrice céramique (CMC) pour des applications aéronautiques. Il est nécessaire pour cela de pouvoir estimer la durée de vie des structures en service. Cela requiert de quantifier l’endommagement mais aussi d’identifier les différents mécanismes qui en sont à l’origine. Il est donc indispensable d’une part de caractériser les matériaux et de définir les indicateurs d’endommagement les plus adaptés. D’autre part, l’utilisation ou le développement de modèles doivent permettre l’estimation de la durée de vie restante à partir de l’analyse des événements précurseurs associés à la croissance de l’endommagement. L’Emission Acoustique (EA) est une technique qui permet de répondre à cette problématique. En effet, les mécanismes d’endommagement s’accompagnent de libération d’énergie sous forme d’ondes élastiques transitoires. Leur détection, communément appelée émission acoustique, permet de suivre en temps réel le développement de l’endommagement du matériau. Ce moyen est mis en œuvre dans cette thèse qui comporte deux volets complémentaires. Le premier volet porte sur l’identification de la signature acoustique des différents mécanismes impliqués dans l’endommagement des composites à matrice céramique, en vue de permettre une caractérisation fine de la croissance de l’endommagement et de fournir des indicateurs pour la prévision de la rupture. Le second volet porte sur l’estimation de la durée de vie restante sous sollicitation de fatigue statique, à partir de l’émission acoustique en utilisant l’énergie des sources d’EA comme mesure de l’endommagement. Les travaux réalisés dans cette thèse montrent l’apport de l’EA pour l’analyse du comportement mécanique et la prévision de la durée de vie des CMC. Dans le premier volet, la caractérisation robuste des sources d’EA rend possible le suivi en temps réel de l’apparition de chaque mécanisme d’endommagement grâce à une analyse multivariable. Dans le second volet, deux indicateurs, calculables en temps réel, permettent d’identifier deux phases reproductibles dans le comportement des CMC sollicités en fatigue statique, à partir de la libération d’énergie des sources d’EA. La prévision en temps réel de la durée de vie restante est envisageable grâce à la détection de la seconde phase et à la modélisation, par une loi de type puissance, de la libération d’énergie associéeCeramic matrix composites (CMCs) are candidates for use in aeronautical applications for which durability and reliability are key factors. Beyond damage characterization, the current objective is to predict structures lifetime in service conditions. This requires quantifying damage evolution and identifying the various damage mechanisms that are involved. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize materials and define suitable damage indicators. The use or development of models would then allow the evaluation of remaining lifetime based on the analysis of precursory events. In this context, Acoustic Emission (AE) is a suitable technique. Indeed, damage mechanisms release energy in the form of transient elastic waves. Their recording, named Acoustic Emission, allows monitoring material damage growth. This technique is used in this work, which is composed of two complementary parts. The first part aims at identifying the acoustic signature of mechanisms involved in damaging of ceramic matrix composites. This would allow an accurate characterization of damage evolution and would provide indicators for rupture prediction. The second part focuses on the evaluation of remaining lifetime under static fatigue loading based on the energy of AE sources as a measure of damage. The following work shows the contribution of acoustic emission for the analysis of mechanical behaviour and lifetime prediction of CMCs. In the first part, a robust characterization of AE sources and the use of multivariate analysis allow monitoring the growth of each damage mechanism. In the second part, two reproducible phases in the behaviour of CMCs under static fatigue are identified on the AE sources energy release by two real-time indicators. The detection of the second phase and modelling of associated energy release by a power law would allow real-time prediction of the remaining lifetime

Full textAbstract:
Understanding, and ultimately, predicting the degradation of bioresorbable composites made of biodegradable polyesters and calcium-based ceramics is paramount in order to fully unlock the potential of these materials, which are heavily used in orthopaedic applications and also being considered for stents. A modelling framework which characterises the degradation of bioresorbable composites was generated by generalising a computational model previously reported in literature. The framework uses mathematical expressions to represent the interwoven phenomena present during degradation. Three ceramic-specific models were then created by particularising the framework for three common calcium-based fillers, namely tricalcium phosphate (TCP), hydroxyapatite (HA) and calcium carbonate (CC). In these models, the degradation of a bioresorbable composite is described with four parameters: the non-catalytic and auto-catalytic polymer degradation rates, $k_1$ and $k_2'$ respectively and the ceramic dissolution rate and exponent, $A_\text{d}$ and $\theta$ respectively. A comprehensive data mining exercise was carried out by surveying the existing literature in order to obtain quantitative degradation data for bioresorbable composites containing TCP, HA and CC. This resulted in a database with a variety of case studies. Subsequently, each case study was analysed using the corresponding ceramic-specific model returning a set of values for the four degradation constants. Both cases with agreement and disagreement between model prediction and experimental data were studied. 76% of the 107 analysed case studies displayed the expected behaviour. In general terms, the analysis of the harvested data with the models showed that a wide range of degradation behaviours can be attained using different polymeric matrix - ceramic filler combinations. Furthermore, the existence of discrepancies in degradation behaviour between a priori similar bioresorbable composites became apparent, highlighting the high number of hidden factors affecting composite degradation such as polymer tacticity or ceramic impurities. The analysis of the case studies also highlighted that the ceramic dissolution rate needed to depict the portrayed degradation behaviours is significantly higher than that reported for ceramics alone in dissolution studies under physiological conditions, indicating that studies of the filler elements alone do not provide a complete picture. Lastly, the computational analysis provided insight into the complex influence of factors such as sample porosity and degradation protocol in the degradation behaviour. In addition to the computational analysis of literature data, an experimental degradation study was carried out with nanocomposites made of calcium carbonate and poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide). This study showed the existence of a clear buering effect with the addition of the ceramic filler and confirmed the assumptions employed in the modelling framework in this particular bioresorbable composite. The detailed nature and modest size of these data enabled a more precise and thorough analysis using the CC composites degradation model. In summary, the modelling framework is able to capture the main degradation behaviour of bioresorbable composites and also point to factors responsible for dissimilar behaviours. The degradation maps generated with the values of $k_1$, $k_2'$, $A_\text{d}$ and $\theta$ output by the models appear to be a good tool to summarise, classify and facilitate the analysis and search of specific bioresorbable composites.

Full textAbstract:
Vielschichtige Eigenschaftsprofile benötigen zunehmend moderne Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde einschließlich der raschen Entfaltung neuer Fertigungstechnologien, da der monolithische Werkstoff bzw. ein einziger Werkstoff den heutigen komplexen Anforderungen nicht mehr genügen kann. Zukünftige Werkstoffsysteme haben wirtschaftlich eine Schlüsselposition und sind auf den Wachstumsmärkten von grundlegender Bedeutung. Gefragt sind maßgeschneiderte Leichtbauwerkstoffe (tailor-made composites) mit einem adaptierten Design. Dazu müssen Konzepte entwickelt werden, um die Kombination der Komponenten optimal zu gestalten. Das erfordert werkstoffspezifisches Wissen und Korrelationsvermögen sowie die Gestaltung komplexer Technologien, auch unter dem Aspekt der kontinuierlichen Massen- und Großserienfertigung (in-line, in-situ) und damit der Kostenreduzierung bislang teurer Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird in vergleichbarer und vergleichender Art und Weise sowie abstrahierter Form ein Bogen über das Gesamtgebiet der Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde gespannt. Eine zusammenfassende Publikation über dieses noch sehr junge, aber bereits breit aufgestellte Wissenschaftsgebiet fehlt bislang. Das ist der Separierung der einzelnen, fest aufgeteilten Gruppierungen der Verbundwerkstoffe geschuldet. Querverbindungen werden selten hergestellt. Dieses Defizit in einem gewissen Maße auszugleichen, ist Ziel der Arbeit. Besondere Berücksichtigung finden Begriffsbestimmungen und Klassifikationen, Herstellungsverfahren und Eigenschaften der Werkstoffe. Es werden klare Strukturierungen und Übersichten herausgearbeitet. Zuordnungen von etablierten und neuen Technologien sollen zur Begriffsstabilität der Terminologien „Mischbauweise“ und „Hybrider Verbund“ beitragen. Zudem wird die Problematik „Recycling und Recyclingtechnologien“ diskutiert. Zusammenfassend werden Handlungsfelder zukünftiger Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte spezifiziert. Aus dem Blickwinkel der verschiedenen Herstellungsrouten insbesondere für Halbzeuge und Bauteile und der dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden verallgemeinerte Konzepte für tailor-made Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde vorgeschlagen („Stellschraubenschema“). Diese allgemeinen Werkstoffkonzepte werden auf eigene aktuelle Forschungsprojekte der Schwerpunktthemen Metallmatrix- und Polymermatrix-Verbundwerkstoffe sowie der hybriden Werkstoffverbunde appliziert. Forschungsfelder für zukünftige Projekte werden abgeleitet. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den hybriden Verbunden als tragende Säule zukünftiger Entwicklungen im Leichtbau. Hier spielen in-line- und in-situ-Prozesse eine entscheidende Rolle für eine großseriennahe, kosteneffiziente und ressourcenschonende Produktion.Complex property profiles require increasingly advanced composite materials and material compounds, including the rapid deployment of new production technologies, because the monolithic material or a single material can no longer satisfy today's complex requirements. Future material systems are fundamentally important to growth markets, in which they have an economically key position. Tailor-made lightweight materials (tailor-made composites) with an adapted design are needed. These concepts have to be developed to design the optimum combination of components. This requires material-specific knowledge and the ability to make correlations, as well as the design of complex technologies. Continuous large-scale and mass production (in-line, in-situ), thus reducing the costs of previously expensive composite materials and material compounds, is also necessary. The present work spans the entire field of composite materials and material compounds in a comparable and comparative manner and abstract form. A summarizing publication on this still very new, but already broad-based scientific field is not yet available. The separation of the individual, firmly divided groups of the composite materials is the reason for this. Cross-connections are rarely made. The objective of this work is to compensate to some extent for this deficiency. Special consideration is given to definitions and classifications, manufacturing processes and the properties of the materials. Clear structures and overviews are presented. Mapping established and new technologies will contribute to the stability of the terms "mixed material compounds" and "hybrid material compounds". In addition, the problem of recycling and recycling technologies is discussed. In summary, areas for future research and development projects will be specified. Generalized concepts for tailor-made composite materials and material compounds are proposed ("adjusting screw scheme") with an eye toward various production routes, especially for semi-finished products and components, and the associated findings. These general material concepts are applied to own current research projects pertaining to metal-matrix and polymer-matrix composites and hybrid material compounds. Research fields for future projects are extrapolated. Particular attention is paid to hybrid material compounds as the mainstay of future developments in lightweight construction. In-line and in-situ processes play a key role for large-scale, cost- and resource-efficient production.
