Microscopic Damage of Quasi-Isotropic Carbon/Epoxy Laminates at Various Temperatures.

Calculation of MnO Activity in Aluminate Slags at Various Temperatures

In this research, the activity of MnO, produced during steel making in aluminate-rich slags, was investigated. According to thermodynamic equations and mathematical calculation, a series of relations was obtained for evaluation of oxide activity using Masson’s theory. The obtained relations were solved according to Levenberg- Marquardt method and using Matlab software. The results were correlat...

Damage in Textile Laminates of Various Inter-ply Shift

Deformation mechanisms and failure of textile laminates are strongly affected by inter-layer configurations – a mutual shift of the plies. To model it within a traditional framework, one must construct a representative volume element (RVE), which includes all the plies. This is a time consuming and computationally expensive work. As an alternative, the paper suggests boundary conditions (BC) im...

Simulation of Damage on Laminates

In this paper, we present a recently developed progressive damage model for composites (CPDM) that allows the switching between different damage modes during the numerical process to mimic real physical behaviour. The modelled damage modes are ranging from matrix cracking to fibre breakage or delamination. Moreover, the CPDM is flexible in the sense that provides the basic structure to include ...

Solubility of Naproxen in Polyethylene Glycol 200 + Water Mixtures at Various Temperatures

The solubility of naproxen in binary mixtures of polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG 200) + water at the temperature range from 298.0 K to 318.0 K were reported. The combinations of Jouyban-Acree model + van’t Hoff and Jouyban-Acree model + partial solubility parameters were used to predict the solubility of naproxen in PEG 200 + water mixtures at different temperatures. Combination of Jouyban-Acree m...
