Reliability Improvements in Repair Welding of High Strength Steels

July 1, 2002
Author(s)
Ivan Samardzic, Thomas A. Siewert
Engineers often have to deal with repair of weldments after they have been put into service. Here, the concern is that the service environment may have changed the structure, indepent of whether the problems originated during the initial construction (cold

Polymer Composites with High Dielectric Constant

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
C. K. Chiang, R Popielarz
A very high dielectric constant polymer composite film system is presented. The new polymer composite film uses cyanoresin polymer filled with ferroelectric ceramics, such as BaTiO 3 powder. While the dielectric constant of the cyanoresin polymer at 1 kHz

Formation of Solid Electrolyte Interface on Cycled Lithium-Ion Battery Cathodes: Soft X-ray Absorption Study

May 3, 2002
Author(s)
Mahalingam Balasubramanian, James McBreen, Xiao-Qing Yang, H S. Lee, A R. Moodenbaugh, Daniel A. Fischer, Ziwen Fu, D Abraham
Lithium-ion batteries are promising candidates for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Batteries that exceed the requirements for HEV, as set by the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV), have been designed and built. These batteries are based on

Influence of Processing Rate and Formulation on the Interface Strength of Vinyl Ester/E-Glass Composites

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Joy Dunkers, Gale A. Holmes, E Feresenbet, Y H. Kim, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The single fiber fragmentation test was used to investigate the effect of gelation time on interfacial shear properties of fast reacting resin systems. We developed a processing system capable of producing single fiber fragmentation samples with gelation

Effective Hamiltonian Study of PZT 95/5

January 21, 2002
Author(s)
K Leung, Eric J. Cockayne, A F. Wright
An effective Hamiltonian is constructed for PbZr0.95Ti0.05O3. It is parameterized using ab initio results computed in the virtual crystal approximation. The phase diagram depends sensitively on the energetic competition between the stable orthorhombic

Comparison of Optical Coherence Tomography, X-Ray Computed Tomography, and Confocal Microscopy Results From an Impact Damaged Epoxy/E-Glass Composite

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, D P. Sanders, Donald L. Hunston, M J. Everett, William H. Green
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging technique for imaging of synthetic materials. OCT is attractive because of the combination of its high sensitivity (>90 dB), high resolution ((10-20) mm), and low cost ($75 k). The value of any new

Crystallographic Texture in Ceramics and Metals

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Mark D. Vaudin
Preferred crystallographic orientation, or texture, occurs almost universally, both in natural and man-made systems. Many components and devices in electronic and magnetic systems are fabricated from materials that have crystallographic texture. The

The Prediction of Permeability for an Epoxy/E-Glass Composite Using Optical Coherence Tomographic Images

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., C G. Zimba, Kathleen M. Flynn, D P. Sanders, R C. Peterson, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
Knowledge of the permeability tensor in liquid composite molding is important for process optimization. Unfortunately, experimental determination of permeability is difficult and time consuming. A rapid, non-destructive technique called optical coherence

Permeability Prediction From Non-Destructive Imaging of Composite Microstructure

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Kathleen M. Flynn, D P. Sanders, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
In this work, binary images of the microstructure of a unidirectional E-glass/epoxy composite were generated from the low contrast OCT data through image de-noising, contrast enhancement and feature recognition. The resulting data were input to a lattice
