Strength sonication

Decreases of sample length (shrinkage), breaking strength, sonic modulus, and Tg. 

Descriptions of sulfuric acid analytical procedures not specified by ASTM are available (32,152). Federal specifications also describe the requited method of analysis. Concentrations of 78 wt % and 93 wt % H2SO4 are commonly measured indirectly by determining specific gravity. Higher acid concentrations are normally determined by titration with a base, or by sonic velocity or other physical property for plant control. Sonic velocity has been found to be quite accurate for strength analysis of both filming and nonfuming acid. 

The actual characteristics of REV produced depend on a number of factors such as choice of lipids (% cholesterol and charged lipids), lipid concentration used in the organic solvent, rate of evaporation, and ionic strength of the aqueous phase (Szoka and Papahadjopoulos, 1980). Modifications of this REV technique were proposed by several groups. The SPLV (stable plurilamellar vesicles) method consists of bath-sonicating an emulsion of the aqueous phase in an ether solution of lipid while evaporating the ether (Griiner et al., 1985). 

Adsorption on Kaolinite. For kaolinite, the polymer adsorption density is strongly dependent on the solid/liquid ratio, S/L, of the clay suspension. As S/L increases, adsorption decreases. This S/L dependence cannot be due totally to autocoagulation of the clay particles since this dependence is observed even in the absence of Ca2+ at pH 7 and at low ionic strength where auto-coagulation as measured by the Bingham yield stress is relatively weak (21). Furthermore, complete dispersion of the particles in solvent by ultra-sonication before addition of...

Test results, plotted in Figures 5, 6, and 7, show that impact strengths vary with difference in sonic speed in the way predicted by the crack/ craze branching theory.

The quality of the carbon fibers was evaluated mainly from the tensile properties, modulus E and tensile strength a. Sonic modulus was used instead of tensile modulus, because the method appeared to be more reliable. Apart from E, and a, the carbon fiber density q was determined. 

The carbon fibers were characterized by their tensile strength a, sonic modulus E, and density q. 

The model experiments of Xu and Rosakis on low-speed impact over sandwich structures were simulated applying cohesive models. The simulation captures qualitatively the main experimental observations. The most relevant correspondence is in the development of the first crack at the interface between the layers, the presence of shear stresses along the interface, which renders the crack shear driven and often inter-sonic, and the transition between interlayer crack growth and intra-layer crack branching. The effects of impact speed and bond shear strength are also investigated and highly satisfactory predictions are obtained. 

Two methods have been developed for estimating seal embrittlement in shales. One method requires calculation of the overconsolidation ratio, which is essentially a measure of uplift, and in the other, the unconfined compressive strength is estimated from sonic log data. Both methods produce results which may be used to assess the relative risk of dilatant behaviour.
