Investigation Into The Effects Of Wire Mesh On Tensile And Impact Properties Of Fiber Metal Laminates, Shivani A. Rudradat
Investigation Into The Effects Of Wire Mesh On Tensile And Impact Properties Of Fiber Metal Laminates, Shivani A. Rudradat
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
An investigational study was conducted into the tensile and impact behavior of Fiber Metal Laminates by combining 5052 alumintrm mesh or2024-T3 aluminum sheets,2.47 N (8.9 oz) or 6.67 N (24 az) ShieldStand® S fiberglass, and Hysol EA 9313 epoxy. Testing was performed under the guidelines of ASTM D3039-00 utilizing an lnstron 8802 Servohydraulic Materials Testing Instrument for tensile tests and ASTM D3763-06 utilizing an Inston 9250 HV Dynatup Impulse Impact Testing System for impact tests. Samples were strained at arate of 2 mrn/min for tensile tests and impacted with enetgies of 10 to 40 J in l0 J increments …
Measuring Acoustic Attenuation Of Polymer Materials Using Drop Ball Test, Yi Zhang
Measuring Acoustic Attenuation Of Polymer Materials Using Drop Ball Test, Yi Zhang
Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses
Polymers are often used for vibration damping and energy absorption. The effect of a material in reducing the strength of sound waves traveling through it is called acoustic attenuation. In the past, attenuation has mostly been evaluated in the MHz frequency range, using a pulse generator and transmitting transducer as the wave source. However, most real acoustic activities occur at frequencies up to a few hundred kHz. Here, a simple drop ball mechanism is used to generate acoustic source waves in the kHz range, and the attenuation capacities of several solid materials are measured. The recorded waveforms substantially differ between …
