Thermodynamic Aspect And Diffusion Model On Interdiffusion Of Laminate Structure, Shing-Hoa Wang Dec 2000

Thermodynamic Aspect And Diffusion Model On Interdiffusion Of Laminate Structure, Shing-Hoa Wang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

A non-uniform system such as microsegregation, heterogeneous microstructure and multiple-layer deposition of thin films, always exists in the engineering materials and the electronic materials for solid state devices. As a consequence of interdiffusion under high temperature exposure, The dynamical changes of composition profiles and vacancies could lead to materials in earlier failure and reduce the life time of the component. Several theoretical fundamentals have been proposed on different aspects, including(1) the void formation at the steepest concentration gradient:(2) thermodynamic view points of excess vacancy flux;(3) the model of interdiffusion for dynamic composition profile change; and(4) stress gradient induced strain enhanced …


Effect Of Aggregate Volume Fraction On The Elastic Moduli And Void Ratio Of Cement-Based, Shih-Wei Cho, Chung-Chia Yang, Ran Huang Jun 2000

Effect Of Aggregate Volume Fraction On The Elastic Moduli And Void Ratio Of Cement-Based, Shih-Wei Cho, Chung-Chia Yang, Ran Huang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

The effects of aggregate volume fraction on the void ratio and the elastic modulus of mortar were studied. Cylindrical specimens with six volume fractions (a/t = 0., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4) of fine aggregate and various water/cement ratios (w/c = 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) were cast and tested. Double inclusion model for three-phase composite (matrix, aggregate, and void) was used to predict the volume of total void based on the properties and quantities of the components and composites. Based on this study, when higher volume fraction of aggregate is used in the mix, the elastic modulus of the …
