K0354071077
This document summarizes an experimental investigation into the reinforcement of metal matrix composites with multiwalled carbon nanotubes to improve fatigue life. Glass fiber composites currently have high strength but poor fatigue performance due to matrix cracking. The study found that adding only 1% of carbon nanotubes by weight significantly increased the high-cycle fatigue life of glass fiber composites. Carbon nanotubes were found to inhibit crack formation and growth by nucleating many nano-scale damage zones. Energy absorption also increased through nanotube pullout and fracture. An energy-based model was proposed to explain the fatigue life improvement from additional strain energy absorption in the composite.
Composite domes under low velocity impact loading
Under repeated impact composite domes subjected 6 J energy, changes locally with
increasing drop height. The action of the dynamic load generates reactions at the
support and bending moments at points on the surface of the composite. The peak loads
were noted to increase and stabilise about some mean value; and the 150mm diameter
shell was more damage tolerant compared to the 200 mm diameter one.
Experimental composite dome under low velocity impact load
The document summarizes a study that characterized the impact response of glass fiber reinforced composite dome structures with diameters of 150mm and 200mm under repeated low-energy impacts. Key findings include:
1) Peak impact loads initially increased and stabilized with repeated impacts, and the 150mm diameter dome showed higher peak loads and was more damage tolerant.
2) Damage mechanisms included matrix cracking, delamination, and fiber pull-out. Delamination absorbed a large percentage of the impact energy.
3) Both dome configurations exhibited non-linear impact behavior, with stiffness reducing and energy dissipation decreasing with accumulated damage from repeated impacts.

IRJET - Experimental Study on Effect of Magnetized Water in Concrete Mix
The document presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of magnetized water on the properties of concrete. Three concrete mixes were prepared with different water-to-cement ratios, using normal tap water and water treated with magnetic fields of 1.4 Tesla and 0.8 Tesla. Tests found that concrete made with magnetized water had higher compressive strength and improved workability compared to concrete made with normal water. Magnetized water was also found to improve the durability of concrete in acid and sulfate environments. The study concludes that increasing the magnetic field strength increases the strength of concrete, as magnetized water decreases the surface tension of water and leads to better hydration of cement particles.

From past few decades, there is been substantial growth and development in field of Composites. Advanced materials and Composites are being used in almost every industry in some form or the other. Composites have found wider applicability and liking in designing industries. This has triggered researchers towards this emerging technology. Jute reinforced composites may be used in combination with biodegradable polymer or to replace conventional glass fibre reinforced composites. In this case, the main concern is their impact resistance. The production of hybrid laminates by coupling layers of glass fibre reinforced with jute reinforced laminates, proved also effective to improve the mechanical characteristics. In recent years, a number of studies have been carried out, aimed to compare properties of jute fibre reinforced laminates. This project studies Mechanical properties of Jute Reinforced Glass Fibre Composite by Acousto-Ultrasonic Technique. The specimens were tested for UTS on UTM and the correlation factors were determined by comparing SWF (Stress Wave Factors) and UTS. The comparative analyses are presented in results.

Dielectric Constant of nano- CCTO / Epoxy Composite
Nanocrystalline multiphase CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) was prepared using Ca(NO3)2.4H2O, Cu(NO3)2.3H2O, TiO2 and C2H2O4.2H2O. The X-Ray differection and SEM analysed of the prepared CCTO powder sintered at 900oC and 950oC. A homogeneous ceramics-polymer nanocomposites consisting of CCTO particles as fillers and epoxy polymer as matrix have been prepared using a casting process. The nanocomposites exhibit enhanced dielectric constant and dielectric loss. Dielectric properties of CCTO ceramics were characterized in a broad frequency range (100 Hz-1 MHz) and at a temperature ranged from 25 oC to 150 oC. As a result of increasing the content of CCTO, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of composites are increased. The increase of dielectric loss at high frequencies is due to the relaxation process in the polymer matrix.
Soft dielectric elastomer microactuator for robot locomotion
This paper presents dielectric elastomer actuated robot locomotion and the development of a robotic model structure based using a dielectric elastomer actuator. A pre-stretched dielectric elastomer actuator is fabricated onto acrylic frames to form single and multiple robotic crawler models. The crawler models demonstrate forwards motion upon application of high voltage to the attached dielectric elastomer actuator. Characterizations revealed that the fabricated multiple crawler models showed results over the single crawler model in terms of locomotion potential. The maximum forward locomotion speed of the multiple crawler models is recorded as 1.2 mm/s. Nonetheless, precise results are highly attainable provided a structured and coherent fabrication technique of the dielectric elastomer actuator is implemented.
