In this study, the ternary blends of natural rubber (NR)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/nitrile rubber (NBR) were prepared via melt compounding, and then the physicomechanical properties of ternary NR/SBR/NBR blends were investigated. NR content was kept constant at 30 phr, while SBR and NBR fractions were varied simultaneously. The effect of the addition of 3 phr of ultrablend 4000 as compatibilizer on the compatibility of the rubber blends was studied. The results revealed that the use of the compatibilizer has significantly resulted in the clear stability of the scorch time and the optimum cure time of the blends. Tensile strength; stress at 100%, 200%, and 300% elongations; elongation at break %; compression strength; and compression set increase with the NBR content. There was a dramatic rise in the value of swelling ratio with the decrease of NBR. Moreover, the dyn...

The nanocomposites were prepared using a melt mixing method. Four different samples with different filler loadings namely S2 (15 phr), S3 (30 phr), S4 (45 phr), and S5 (60 phr) were prepared in this work. The mechanical properties of these samples were investigated such as tensile strength, stress at 100, 200, and 300% elongations, elongation at break %, tear strength, compression set, compression stress, and crosslink density. Results indicate that minimum torque, maximum torque, tensile strength, stress at 100, 200, and 300% elongations, elongation at break %, tear strength, compression set, compression stress, and crosslink density were increased while the scorch time, cure time, cure rate index, elongation at break %, swelling coefficient, and filler–rubb...

In this study, a cost-effective and accurate method based on dynamic loading technique was proposed to determine the piezoelectric charge coefficient d33. Finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed in order to estimate d33 and validate the obtained values with experimental results. The experiment was conducted on a piezoelectric disc with a known d33 value. The effect of measuring boundary conditions, substrate material properties and specimen geometry on measured d33 value were conducted. The experimental results reveal that the determined d33 coefficient by this technique is accurate as it falls within the manufactures tolerance specifications of PZT-5A piezoelectric film d33. Further, obtained simulation results on fibre reinforced and particle reinforced piezoelectric composite we...

The use of numerical methods such as finite element (FE) and mean field homogenization (MFH) can assist in predicting MMC properties thus reducing time and cost of optimizing composite properties through experiments. In the present work, a multiscale representative volume element (RVE) of the microstructure of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) reinforced Aluminium (Al) matrix composite (rGO/Al) is created in MSC DigiMat and analysed using Abaqus software. The effect of porosity and rGO reinforcement on thermal conductivity and strength of the rGO/Al composites is studied. The variation in thermal conductivity between FE-RVE and experimental data is a maximum of 2.2% and a minimum of 0.07% for rGO reinforcement of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% respectively. The results show good agreement between FE-RVE simulation, MFH and experimental data. ...

The dependence of electromechanical properties of piezoelectric composite on constituent material characteristics and shape of piezoelectric inclusions is a central problem that provides the opportunity to tailor the performance of piezoelectric composites according to design needs. A numerical model has been developed to investigate the electromechanical properties of 1-3 piezoelectric composites with a passive and active polymer matrix. Maxwell Homogenization method is employed to homogenize the solution domain. It is demonstrated that the use of PVDF as an active polymer matrix has a significant influence on piezoelectric charge coefficient d31, hydrostatic coefficient dh, voltage coefficient gh, and hydrophone figure of merit ghdh when compared to the passive Araldite-D polymer matrix. Overall, a 5 to 30% volume fraction of PZT-7A fiber inclusions in...

In the present work, simple cyclic extrusion compression technique (SCEC) has been developed for producing a fine structure of cast Al-1 wt. % Cu alloy and consequently enhancing the mechanical properties of the studied alloy. It was found that the grain structure was significantly reduced from 1500 µm to 100 µm after two passes of cyclic extrusion. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the as-cast alloy were 110 MPa and 12 %, respectively. However, the corresponding mechanical properties of the two pass CEC deformed alloy are 275 MPa and 35%, respectively. These findings ensure that a significant improvement in the grain structure has been achieved. Also, cyclic extrusion deformation increased the surface hardness of the alloy by 49 % after two passes. FE-simulation model was adopted to simulate the deformation beha...
