Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
New mixed-ligand Ni(II) complexes [Ni(tptz)(1,10-phen)] (1), [Ni(tptz)(2-Mimd)2] (2), and [Ni(tptz)Imd)2] (3) were synthesized via a green, solvent-free mechanochemical approach using ball milling. The primary ligand used was 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz), with secondary ligands being 1,10-phenanthroline, 2-methyl imidazole, and imidazole, respectively. Structural characterization by IR, UV-Visible, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction, supported by DFT calculations, revealed a distorted square planar geometry for complex 1 and distorted tetrahedral geometries for complex-2 and complex-3. Notably, bathochromic shifts in the UV-Vis spectra confirm metal-ligand charge transfer transitions and extended π-delocalization. Powder XRD analysis determined average crystallite sizes of 17.86 nm (1), 25 nm (2), …

Phase-Field Method Of Fracture In Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Theory, Modeling, And Validation, Akash Kumar
Phase-Field Method Of Fracture In Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Theory, Modeling, And Validation, Akash Kumar
Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports
Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering due to their high specific strength, stiffness, and durability. However, their anisotropic and heterogeneous nature makes fracture prediction challenging, with damage modes classified as intralaminar failure (matrix cracking, fiber breakage, fiber-matrix debonding) and interlaminar delamination. Delamination, driven by weak through-thickness strength and high interlaminar stresses, is a predominant failure mechanism in FRPCs. While cohesive zone models (CZMs) are commonly used for delamination, they are computationally expensive and inefficient for capturing intralaminar fractures where crack paths are unknown. To address this, we developed a unified phase field-based cohesive …

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Nitrogen pickup during air induction melting can result in porosity and a loss of fracture toughness in ultrahigh-strength quenched and tempered steel castings. Nitrogen atoms are easily adsorbed into liquid steel upon exposure to the air, and argon shrouding alone has limited effectiveness. Previous studies have shown that proper charge sequencing and maintaining a high amount of dissolved oxygen in the melt prior to tapping and deoxidation can limit nitrogen pickup in the melt. In the current study, the effect of melt practice and charging procedure on nitrogen pickup was studied as a function of hold time in a series …

Efficient oxide scale removal is critical for maintaining surface quality and process efficiency in steel manufacturing. This study optimizes water jet descaling by evaluating the performance of flat and rotary jet nozzles under varying process parameters. Using a combined approach of experimental analysis and computational fluid dynamics, it investigates the influence of pressure (138–275 bar), lead angle (0°, 15°, 25°), working distance (50–100 mm), and spray angle (15°–25°) on descaling efficiency. Findings indicate that flat jet nozzles achieve superior performance at short working distances due to concentrated impact forces, while rotary jet nozzles sustain efficiency over extended distances through dynamic …

Design And Development Of A Rapid Tensile Quench Rig, Tyler Jewell, Justin Naylor
Design And Development Of A Rapid Tensile Quench Rig, Tyler Jewell, Justin Naylor
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This report outlines the design process and implantation of a tensile quenching rig that incorporated forced convection and a frequency generator. When any metal is quenched, a vapor barrier forms around it. When this happens, it limits the heat flux that may occur until the barrier turns into just nucleate boiling. The vapor barrier acts as an insulator and causes the heat flux to fluctuate, causing uneven hardening which would limit the use of some materials. To combat this effect, we are trying to use forced convection, and something new, which is adding high frequency waves into the quenching process. …

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
Wire arc additive manufacturing is a process well suited to the efficient production of large structures. Duplex stainless steel exhibits high corrosion resistance and good strength which can be highly beneficial for industrial use. However, its use is limited due to its cost and complexity in controlling microstructure to achieve desired properties. In many cases, it can be highly beneficial to manufacture a component which uses specialty steel grades such as duplex stainless steel only where necessary, and utilizes more affordable, commonly available steels for reinforcement or bulk structural support. A functionally graded material satisfies these requirements by providing a …

The rail transport system is essential for moving passengers and heavy goods over long distances, with steel 900A being a common material used for rail tracks in Thailand. Prolonged exposure to heavy loads and variable environmental conditions can lead to rail track damage known as "engine burn”, which results from friction between the train’s wheels and the rail. The flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) process is employed to repair these burns due to its use of readily available electrode wires and the efficiency of the repair. However, welding high-carbon steel like rail steel 900A poses challenges, such as a tendency to …

The lithium-ion battery stands as a highly promising energy storage system. Among its key components, the cathode material—particularly lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LiNiMnCoO₂), or NMC—is of great importance due to its high specific capacity and cost-effectiveness. Despite its advantages, NMC faces certain challenges, with limited cycle performance being one of the most critical issues. To address this issue, extensive research has been dedicated to surface modification strategies for NMC materials. Studies have identified two primary approaches, doping and coating, both of which have proven effective in enhancing the material's long-term stability. This work systematically examines, categorizes, and compares recent …

Corrosion has been a persistent issue in carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption unit that needs to be resolved in order to prolong the life span of the absorber unit. In this regard, understanding the corrosion behaviour, particularly in hybrid monoethanolamine (MEA) solutions, is crucial. This study aims to give detail information on the role of different process parameters, encompassing types of amine solution, temperature, and CO2 loading on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in system containing hybrid solution of monoethanolamine (MEA) and methanol (MeOH) or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Here, the corrosion extent of the carbon steel was evaluated using gravimetric experiments. …
