Effect of surface finish on the mechanical behaviour of Dacron© 360 woven
2013
Abstract In the present paper some experimental analyses of Dacron© 360 woven with and without surface treatment are presented to evaluate the effect of this treatment on the constitutive behaviour. This woven, widely adopted in sail manufacturing, is obtained by weaving polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarn and it shows some peculiar features due to the manufacturing process. The experimental tensile tests, clearly show the orthotropy behaviour of the material. The effect of the treatment results in a stiffer behaviour especially along the warp and bias direction and in an increment of ultimate strength in all directions.
Deformation and failure of MXene nanosheets
2020
This work is aimed at the development of finite element models and prediction of the mechanical behavior of MXene nanosheets. Using LS-Dyna Explicit software, a finite element model was designed to simulate the nanoindentation process of a two-dimensional MXene Ti3C2Tz monolayer flake and to validate the material model. For the evaluation of the adhesive strength of the free-standing Ti3C2Tz-based film, the model comprised single-layered MXene nanosheets with a specific number of individual flakes, and the reverse engineering method with a curve fitting approach was used. The interlaminar shear strength, in-plane stiffness, and shear energy release rate of MXene film were predicted using th…
EFFECT OF SURFACE FINISH ON THE TENSILE BEHAVIOR OF DACRON© 360 WOVEN
2011
Nel presente lavoro vengono presentate alcune indagini sperimentali mirate alla caratterizzazione dell’effetto del trattamento superficiale sul comportamento costitutivo di un tessuto in Dacron© 360. Tale tessuto, largamente utilizzato nella realizzazione di vele, è ottenuto dalla tessitura di fili di polietilene tereftalato (PET) e presenta alcune peculiarità dovute al processo manifatturiero. Le prove di trazione realizzate evidenziano le caratteristiche di ortotropia del materiale e l’effetto del trattamento superficiale che si manifesta principalmente in un comportamento più rigido nella direzione dell’ordito ed in quella inclinata e in un aumento della resistenza ultima in tutte le dir…
