Abstract:

A literature survey of the properties and uses of high strength concrete, defined for this study as having a strength in excess of 60 N/tnm2, has shown that of prime need is a systematic, reproducible procedure for attaining high strength concrete. The "Maximum Density Theory", i.e. the requirement that the aggregate occupies as large a relative volume as possible, has been adopted as an approach to optimisation of the mix proportions. However, this does not consider the effect that the aggregate suIface area has on the requirement of excess paste for lubrication. To investigate the combined e

Abstract:

Graphene is the first 2D material consisting of carbon atoms densely packed into planar structures. Graphene oxide (GO) is the intermediate derivative of chemically-produced graphene, which retains 2D basal plane structures but is also decorated with functional groups along the basal plane and edges. This functionality allows self-assembly of planar sheets into a paper-like material. However, formations of both intrinsic defects within the sheet structures as well as larger scale extrinsic defects in the paper are expected to significantly degrade mechanical performance. Strength provides the

Abstract:

The use of cellular foams as a core material in light-weight optical and structural systems is of considerable interest. Research and development of these systems, however, have been hampered by the lack of material property data and uncertainty in the use of various suggested material characterizations and the associated constants of proportionality. ASTM standards were researched and, for the most part, found inadequate for testing cellular foam materials. The compression, tension and shear test methods developed are presented, as well as the results from physical tests on closed-cell SXATM

The parameters measured during the first 24 hours after placing were the stress- strain relationship, negative pore pressure and free shrinkage strain development. The plastic behaviour of eight high strength concrete mixes was quantified and these mixes were then tested to assess their propensity towards plastic shrinkage cracking, using restrained ring tests.

The strength of notched and impact damaged laminates was studied. The solution for a plate containing an elliptic opening and inclusion was used as given by Lekhnitskii. The solution for the infinite plate, combined with laminate analysis to determine the ply stresses, and the average stress criterion proposed by Whitney and Nuismer were used to predict the notched strength. However, unlike Whitney and Nuismer, the average stress criterion was used at the ply level. The strength of off-axis unidirectional laminates was predicted by using a matrix oriented failure criterion applied at a critic

Abstract:

The necessity to improve the durability of the machinery used in the milling industry has lead to several types of research. One study is focused on the plates that are located in the stationary and moving jaws of crushers to diminish particles sizes of Gneiss and Diabase rocks. Thus, one type of approach to increase its durability is by reducing the material loss of the plates. Amongst all the parameters to reduce the wear ratio that includes inputs from geometry to load, just the hardness input of the material can be in constant development.

Abstract:

In cement based systems, the residual stresses are created by internal expansion. This provides toughening by the release of the residual stresses as the macro-crack propagates. While circumstantial evidence of the residual stresses exist (e.g. micro-crack formation leading to permanent deformation in flexural tests), it is very difficult to observe the mechanism in action. The quantitative estimate of the changes occurring in such cement-based systems is challenging due to the anisotropy and complexity of the material.

Melt blending of polyethylene, in particularly HDPE and LLDPE, have been shown to be a major success, especially in the film markets. In this thesis studies are reported on the stress rupture performance of pipes produced from selected polyethylene materials blended to a chosen MDPE pipe grade. The pipes were tested, notched or unnotched, at a single temperature of 80oC and at internal pressures designed to induce slit-mode failure. Results showed the simple concept of increasing the stress rupture performance of a pipe material by the addition of a higher molecular weight polymer was invalida
