Velocity of a freely rising gas bubble in a soda-lime silicate glass melt

A comparison is conducted between measured velocities for the buoyant rise of single bubbles of varying size and composition, in a soda-lime silicate glass melt, with the steady state velocities predicted by the Stokes and Hadamard-Rybczynski formulas. In all cases, the data are noted to fit the Hadamard-Rybczynski expression for steady state rise speed considerably better than the Stokes formula.

Subcritical crack growth in soda-lime glass in combined mode I and mode II loading

Subcritical crack growth under mixed-mode loading was studied in soda-lime glass. Pure mode I, combined mode I and mode II, and pure mode II loadings were achieved in precracked disk specimens by loading in diametral compression at selected angles with respect to the symmetric radial crack. Crack growth was monitored by measuring the resistance changes in a microcircuit grid consisting of parallel, electrically conducting grid lines deposited on the surface of the disk specimens by photolithography. Subcritical crack growth rates in pure mode I, pure mode II, and combined mode I and mode II loading could be described by an exponential relationship between crack growth rate and an effective crack driving force derived from a mode I-mode II fracture toughness envelope. The effective crack driving force was based on an empirical representation of the noncoplanar strain energy release rate. Stress intensities for kinked cracks were assessed using the method of caustics and an initial decrease and a subsequent increase in the subcritical crack growth rates of kinked cracks were shown to correlate with the variations of the mode I and the mode II stress intensities.

Penetration experiments in aluminum 1100 targets using soda-lime glass projectiles

The cratering and penetration behavior of annealed aluminum 1100 targets, with thickness varied from several centimeters to ultra-thin foils less than 1 micrometer thick, were experimentally investigated using 3.2 mm diameter spherical soda-lime glass projectiles at velocities from 1 to 7 km/s. The objective was to establish quantitative, dimensional relationships between initial impact conditions (impact velocity, projectile diameter, and target thickness) and the diameter of the resulting crater or penetration hole. Such dimensional relationships and calibration experiments are needed to extract the diameters and fluxes of hypervelocity particles from space-exposed surfaces and to predict the performance of certain collisional shields. The cratering behavior of aluminum 1100 is fairly well predicted. However, crater depth is modestly deeper for our silicate impactors than the canonical value based on aluminum projectiles and aluminum 6061-T6 targets. The ballistic-limit thickness was also different. These differences attest to the great sensitivity of detailed crater geometry and penetration behavior on the physical properties of both the target and impactor. Each penetration experiment was equipped with a witness plate to monitor the nature of the debris plume emanating from the rear of the target. This plume consists of both projectile fragments and target debris. Both penetration hole and witness-plate spray patterns systematically evolve in response to projectile diameter/target thickness. The relative dimensions of the projectile and target totally dominate the experimental products documented in this report; impact velocity is an important contributor as well to the evolution of penetration holes, but is of subordinate significance for the witness-plate spray patterns.

Effects of Aqueous Solutions on the Slow Crack Growth of Soda-Lime-Silicate Glass

The slow crack growth (SCG) parameters of soda-lime-silicate were measured in distilled and saltwater of various concentrations in order to determine if the presence of salt and the contaminate formation of a weak sodium film affects stress corrosion susceptibility. Past research indicates that solvents affect the rate of crack growth; however, the effects of salt have not been studied. The results indicate a small but statistically significant effect on the SCG parameters A and n at high concentrations; however, for typical engineering purposes, the effect can be ignored.

Ultrafast Laser Welding and Terahertz Time-domain Spectroscopy of Soda Lime Silicate Glass

Joining and welding techniques of similar and dissimilar materials have reached their limits due to the inflexibility of adapting dielectric materials, e.g., glasses and ceramics, reproducibility for transparent materials, and cycle process time. The ability to join pieces of glasses using laser irradiation allows rapid processing of vacuum insulating glass (VIG) for a widening range of commercial energy-efficient applications. We have used a 1064-nm laser wavelength with 15 picoseconds pulse width and a 155-kHz repetition rate to weld commercial plate glass pieces. The welded samples were characterized via x-ray fluorescence (XRF), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF–SIMS), polarimetry, and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) to determine the integrity of the weld and chemical changes in the welded areas. Our data shows no significant changes in glass chemistry and structure on average over nano- to micro-scales occurred from the welding process within the limits of the characterization tools. Our results demonstrate successful welding of glass plates without significant changes in the glass chemistry, structure, or properties in the laser-modified region or strains in the bulk glass.

Rheology of activated phosphorus slag with lime and alkaline salts

The present study aimed to determine the rheological behavior of activated phosphorus slag (AAPS) with a combination of Ca(OH){sub 2} and Na{sub 2}CO{sub 3} (CNC activator) or Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} (CNS activator) compared to OPC paste. The findings showed that the rheology of AAPS pastes fit with the Herschel-Bulkley model and behaved like a shear-thinning fluid. The AAPS pastes rheology is affected by concentration and nature of activator. The shear stress in AAPS pastes was lower than OPC paste, and increased with increasing the activator concentration. In early ages, reaction products of PS/CNC pastes included calcite-type compounds with the formed gel while gypsum compounds formed in the PS/CNS pastes. This resulted in higher shear stress and lower workability for PS/CNC pastes compared to PS/CNS pastes. The formed gel due to interaction between Ca{sup 2+} ions of CNC activator and Si{sup 4+} ions of Phosphorus slag caused an increase in the shear stress for PS/CNC during the time.

Properties, characterization, and decay of sticky rice–lime mortars from the Wugang Ming dynasty city wall (China)

Urgent restoration of the Wugang Ming dynasty city wall brings about the need for a study of the formulation and properties of mortars. In the present paper, mortar samples from the Wugang Ming dynasty city wall were characterized in a combination of sheet polarized light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer, thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. Results show that mortars are mainly built up from inorganic calcium carbonate based organic–inorganic hybrid material with a small amount of sticky rice, which plays a crucial role in forming dense and compact microstructure of mortars and effectively hindering penetration of water and air into mortars. Analysis of decayed products shows that the detrimental soluble salts originates from ambient environment. - Highlights: • Mortars used in the Wugang city wall are a calcium carbonate-sticky rice hybrid bonding material. • Carbonation processing is extremely slow due to dense and compact microstructure of mortars. • Decying of mortars results from the appearance of soluble salt from ambient environment.
