  • Effect of adhesive compliance in the assessment of soft adhesives with the wedge test

    2011 JOURNAL OF ADHESION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

    Wedge tests are usually analysed assuming that the free, unbonded members may be treated as encastré cantilever beams. However, if the adhesive layer is sufficiently flexible (e.g., due to low elastic modulus), then significant strain in the bonded region may occur and lead to modification of the behaviour outside this region. Using in conjunction a sensitive strain gauge method on asymmetric wedge tests and a mathematical analysis developed from the work of Winkler, we conclude that the standard, simple beam theory approach significantly overestimates crack length for a supple adhesive layer. The present contribution mainly considers strain effects in the intact, bonded zone, rather than fracture per se. However, it is concluded that,if in fracture tests, the incorrect values of crack length obtained from the encastré beam assumption are employed to calculate fracture energy using the simpler model, there will be some self-compensation and little error in estimates of the latter will result (at least in the cases presently studied).


  • Effect of adopted rules of inference and methods of defuzzification on the final result of the evaluation of reliability made using the fuzzy logic methods
    • Roman Liberacki
    2011 Full text Journal of Polish CIMEEAC

    The object of interest is to solve the problem of risk management of marine systems. But the main trouble is a lack of numerous and sure data on the reliability of the components of such systems. The methods based on the fuzzy logic seem to be helpful here. The goal of the article is to check the effect of using different fuzzy inference rules and methods of defuzzification on the final result of reliability assessment. The three rules of inference are taken intoaccount: the Mamdani rule, the Larsen rule and the Tsukamoto rule. The second problem is the method of defuzzification of the result given in the form of fuzzy number into the real number. The several methods of defuzzification are discussed. The examples of using the above inference rules and defuzzification methods arepresented.


  • Effect of alkyl sulfate on the phase behavior of microemulsions stabilized with monoacylglycerols
    • Halina Szeląg
    • Patrycja Szumała
    2011 JOURNAL OF SURFACTANTS AND DETERGENTS

    In this study the effect of an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS) and oils (hydrocarbons: C12-C16) on the formation and phase behavior of the systems of oil/monoacylglycerols (MAG):SDS/propylene glycol/water has been investigated. The effects of the surfactant mixture on the phase behavior and the concentrationof water or oil in the systems were studied at three temperatures (50, 55, 60 C). Electrical conductivity measurement, FT-IR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry methods were applied to determine the structure and type of the microemulsions formed. The dimension of microemulsion droplets was characterizedby dynamic light scattering. It has been stated that the concentration of SDS has a strong influence on the shape and extent of the microemulsion areas. Addition of an ionic surfactant to the mixture with MAG promotes an increase in the area of microemulsion formation in the phase diagrams, and these areas of the isotropic region change with the temperature. It was shown that the presence in the systems of a surfactant more hydrophilic than MAG caused an increase in water content in the microemulsions. It was found that, depending on temperature and concentration of the surfactant mixture, it was possible to obtain a W/O type microemulsion with a dispersed particles size distribution ranging from 20 to 50 nm and containing about 17-38% water in the system. Among different alkanes (from C12 toC16), hexadecane embedded microemulsions showed a maximum water solubilization capacity.

  • Effect of oxygenation time on signal of a sensor based on ionic liquids
    • Jacek Gębicki
    • Adam Kloskowski
    • Wojciech Chrzanowski
    2011 ELECTROCHIMICA ACTA

    The paper presents an oxygen sensor based on ionic liquids and solid electrodes. The following ionic liquids have been employed: [BMIM][BF4], [HMIM][Cl], [BMIM][N(CN2)]. Minimum time of the sensor exposure to analyte, after which the signal (current intensity) was stable, has been evaluated. An impact of volumetric flow rate of analyte on the sensor exposure time and signal has been determined. A product of permeability coefficient and solubility of oxygen in ionic liquids has been estimated. A mechanism of oxygen reduction on a surface of the solid electrodes, in the ionic liquid environment has been presented. Overall cathodic coefficients of transition for the sensors with particular ionic liquids have been determined as a function of potential scan rate.


  • Effect of shielded electrode wet welding conditions on diffusible hydrogen content in deposited metal
    • Dariusz Fydrych
    • Grzegorz Rogalski
    2011 Welding International

    Wet welding is the most popular method of joining in water enviroment. During underwater welding, the weldability of steel is limited by the higher cooling rates and hydrogen content in weld metal. Article presents results of preliminary tests on the effects of wet welding conditions on diffusible hydrogen amount. Seven parameters were optimized using a Plackett-Burman plan to get the most relevant variables. These parameters were: salinity of water, contamination of electrode, electrode polarity and welding current.

    2011

    System uziemień współczesnych obiektów jest zwykle bardzo rozległy, a na łączenie poszczególnych elementów uziemiających za pomocą głównej szyny wyrównania potencjałów uwzględnia także uziemienia stacji transformatorowej. Ocena przydatności takiego systemu uziemień do celów ochrony odgromowej nie jest prosta, bo tylko jego część określana, jako długość efektywna bierze udział w odprowadzaniu do gruntu prądu piorunowego. Praca zawiera rezultaty obliczeń długości efektywnej uziomów oraz wyniki symulacji komputerowych, pomiarów na modelach analogowych, a także na rzeczywistych uziomach poziomych. W badaniach były stosowane udary o czasach czoła 1, 4 i 10 mikrosekund. Uzyskano dobrą zgodność rezultatów obliczeń i symulacji z wynikami pomiarów na obiektach rzeczywistych.

  • Effects of subfilter velocity modelling on dispersed phase in LES of heated channel flow

    2011 Full text Journal of Physics : Conference Series

    A non-isothermal turbulent flow with the dispersed phase is modelled using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach for fluid, one-way coupled with the equations of point-particle evolution. The channel is heated at both walls and isoflux boundary conditions are applied for fluid. Particle velocity and thermal statistics are computed. Of particular interest are the r.m.s. profiles and the probability density function of particle temperature in the near-wall region. We compare our findings with available reference data for particle-laden, heated channel flow. Moreover, an open issue in LES is the influence of non-resolved (residual) scales of fluid velocity and temperature fields on particles. In the present contribution, we apply a stochastic model for subfilter fluid velocity at the particle positions that aims at reconstructing the effects of the smallest scales of turbulence on particle dynamics. We analyse the impact of this model on particle thermal statistics.

    2011

    Divers essais peuvent etre employes afin d'evaluer la resistance a la fracture des joints adhesifes. Generalement, ces essais sont symetriques: les substrats sont identiques. Nous avons utilise une version asymetrique, ou un adherend flexible est colle a aderend rigide. Nous discutons ici du comportement d'un joint d'adhesion variable. Des resultats assez surprenants font le sujet prinicpal de cet article.


  • Efficiency of acoustic heating in the Maxwell fluid
    • Anna Perelomova
    • Weronika Pelc-Garska
    2011 Full text HYDROACOUSTICS

    The nonlinear effects of sound in a fluid describing by the Maxwell model of the viscous stress tensor is the subject of investigation. Among other, viscoelastic biological media belong to this non-newtonian type of fluids. Generation of heating of the medium caused by nonlinear transfer of acoustic energy, is discussed in details. The governing equation of acoustic heating is derived by means of the special linear combination of conservation equations of fluid motion in differential form. The method to derive the governing equations does not need averaging over the sound period, and the final governing dynamic equation of the thermal mode is instantaneous. It is valid for both periodic and aperiodic sound. The efficiency of acoustic heating for different shapes of acoustic wave is evaluated.

  • Efficiency of European public higher education institutions: a two-stage multicountry approach

    2011 Full text SCIENTOMETRICS

    The purpose of this study is to examine efficiency and its determinants in a set of higher education institutions (HEIs) from several European countries by means of non-parametric frontier techniques. Our analysis is based on a sample of 259 public HEIs from 7 European countries across the time period of 2001-2005. We conduct a two-stage DEA analysis (Simar and Wilson in J Economet 136:31-64, 2007), first evaluating DEA scores and then regressing them on potential covariates with the use of a bootstrapped truncated regression. Results indicate a considerable variability of efficiency scores within and between countries. Unit size (economies of scale), number and composition of faculties, sources of funding and gender staff composition are found to be among the crucial determinants of these units' performance. Specifically, we found evidence that a higher share of funds from external sources and a higher number of women among academic staff improve the efficiency of the institution.
