Deflection bar

Tensile and heat deflection bars were molded on a 55-ton injection molding machine. The temperatures used, from zone 1 to die, were 150, 160, 165, and 170 °C for the pure FPVC and the 2 wt% nanocomposite, and were increased by 10 °C for the 5 wt% and 10 wt% nanocomposites to ensure complete filling of the mold. 

The high elastic modulus, compressive strength, and wear resistance of cemented carbides make them ideal candidates for use in boring bars, long shafts, and plungers, where reduction in deflection, chatter, and vibration are concerns. Metal, ceramic, and carbide powder-compacting dies and punches are generahy made of 6 wt % and 11 wt % Co ahoys, respectively. Another apphcation area for carbides is the synthetic diamond industry where carbides are used for dies and pistons (see Carbon). 

Figures 29-19 and 29-20 illustrate two different mecbanical-hydraulic systems. Figure 29-19 is a bar-lift steam chest with a heavy-duty hydraulic seivo. The speed-sensing element is a flyball assembly attached to a rotating pilot. This rotating pilot sends a control-pressure signal that is proportional to speed to a bellows on the seivo. A change in control pressure initiated through the rotating pilot by either speed or speed changer deflects the bellows and seivo pilot valve. The seivopiston position is proportional to the control pressure.

This deflection can be corrected easily during the alignment. For example, with the indicators in the upper position on the shaft, instead of starting at 0.000 inches, mark the positive value of the deflection of the bar determined in the previous step, and then rotate the shaft 180° to the bottom. Now the indicators will read 0.000 inches. 

This same procedure can be used during the actual alignment procedure to cancel bar deflection. 

In the deflection temperature under load test (heat distortion temperature test) the temperature is noted at which a bar of material subjected to a three-point bending stress is deformed a specified amount. The load (F) applied to the sample will vary with the thickness (t) and width (tv) of the samples and is determined by the maximum stress specified at the mid-point of the beam (P) which may be either 0.45 MPa (661bf/in ) or 1.82 MPa (264Ibf/in ).

Rib design An example of how ribbing will provide the necessary equivalent moment of inertia and section modulus will be given. A flat plastic bar of IV2 in. x 3/8 in. thick and 10 in. long, supported at both ends and loaded at the center, was calculated to provide a specified deflection and stress level under a given load. The favorable material thickness of this plastic is 0.150 in. Using... 

Fig. 15. Relationship between the alfentanil plasma concentrations and the probability of needing naloxone to restore adequate spontaneous ventilation. The diagram at the upper part shows the alfentanil plasma concentrations of the patients who required naloxone (upward deflection) or did not require naloxone (downward deflection). The plasma concentration-effect curve for this clinical endpoint (lower part) was defined from the quantal data shown in the upper diagram using logistic regression. Bars indicate SE of C5o%.

ASTM has also standardised a flipper type of machine7 which uses grooved and pierced test pieces to measure crack growth. The gap between the revolving disk and the deflector bars can be varied so that the angle of deflection and, hence, the severity of test can be varied. The apparatus in contained in an oven so that tests can be made over a range of temperatures. 

There are two modules in a strip chart the electronics and the mechanical. The trick is to look at one at a time. Disconnect the detector leads, turn off the bed, and watch the pen. Does it sit quietly or chatter up and down Noise at this point comes from the strip chart electronics. If it s quiet, turn on the bed and let the pen trace to see if the baseline is flat. If so, short across the leads and make sure the pen deflects without sticking (this would show up as a plateau in a chromatogram). Lubrication or drive wire replacement would fix the problem. Do not get much oil on the slide bar it just traps dust. Spray some WD40 on a Kimwipe. Wipe the bar, then wipe off the excess. Next, use a stopwatch and time the bed. Is it accurate at 0.5cm/min where you will be using it If it passes these tests, we re ready to hook up the detector leads and move on. 

The ISO-HDT is based on a bending measurement on a standard test bar, loaded with a constant force, and gradually increased in temperature the temperature at which a certain bending deflection is reached, is called the HDT. All conditions are normalized sample dimensions, rate of heating (2 °C/min), load (two cases ISO-A with a maximum bending stress of 1.81 MPa, ISO-B with 0.45 MPa), limit of bending deflection (0.32 mm). The stress, o, is fixed, as well as the deformation, e, at the moment of reading-off the temperature, so also E = a/e. In fact, the temperature is measured at which the modulus of elasticity, E, has dropped down to a prescribed level. These levels of E are about 1000 and 250 MPa for ISO-A and ISO-B, respectively. 

Again, reliable creep modulus data have to be available in order to apply the deflection equations. Tables 25.2 and 25.3 (see also Fig. 25.3) give the expressions for the deflections and torsional deformations of bars. By means of these equations the modulus of engineering materials may be determined from deflection and torsion experiments. The reader is also referred to, e.g. Ferry (1980), McCrum et al. (1997), Whorlow (1992) and Te Nijenhuis (1980, 2007).
