This book was released on 2011 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This works studies the effects of compositional and temperature variations on the structure and properties of aluminoborosilicate glasses. Two groups of aluminoborosilicate glasses, one that has lower boron content and another that has higher boron content, have been studied. The structural changes were mainly observed with high-field B-11, Al-27 and Na-23 magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In these glasses, boron is either three-coordinate (BO3) or four-coordinate (BO4); aluminum exists predominately as four-coordinate species, but there is a small amount of five-coordinate aluminum ([5]Al). The compositional study focused on the effect of the cation field strength of the network modifiers on the glass structure by varying the ratio of the two network modifiers, CaO and Na2O. Increasing the ratio of CaO to Na2O dramatically lowers the fraction of four-coordinated boron (N4), increases [5]Al, and increases the fraction of non-bridging oxygens (NBO), which was calculated based on the boron and aluminum structural information. However, variations in these fractions are not linear with respect to the average cation field strength. Na-23 spectra reveal that the ratio of bridging to non-bridging oxygens in the coordination shell of Na+ increases with an increasing ratio of CaO to Na2O in Ca-rich glasses. These changes can be understood by the tendency of higher field strength modifier cations to facilitate the concentration of negative charges on NBO in their local coordination environment, systematically converting BO4 to BO3. The effect of temperature on the structure was studied by two ways: cooling the glass-forming melts at different rates to sample the glass structure at different fictive temperature, and using high-temperature in situ NMR. The abundances of BO3 and NBO increase with increasing fictive temperature, suggesting that the reaction BO4 [logical equivalence] BO3 + NBO shifts to the right with increasing temperature. The observed temperature dependence of the abundance of BO4 species allows us to estimate the enthalpy of reaction, [Delta]H, which is closely related to the amount of NBO in the glass. In situ high-T B-11 MAS NMR was used to observe chemical exchange between BO3 and BO4 species over the timescale of microseconds to seconds. The timescale of BO3/BO4 exchange from NMR data, [lowercase Tau](NMR), appears to be "decoupled" from that of the macroscopic shear relaxation process, [lowercase Tau](s), derived from the viscosity data; however, at higher temperatures, [lowercase Tau](s) approaches [lowercase Tau](NMR). The "decoupling" at lower temperature may be related to intermediate-range compositional heterogeneities, and /or fast modifier cation diffusivities, which trigger "unsuccessful" network exchange events.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to better understand the structure of aluminosilicate glasses and its impact on thermodynamic and transport properties, this work studies the effects of compositional and temperature variations on minor structural species in a series of aluminosilicate glasses. The presence of high-energy minor structural species such as non-bridging oxygen (NBO) and five-coordinated aluminum are not predicted by "standard" models of glass structure along the metaluminous (charge-balanced) join, where they have been observed using aluminum and oxygen nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Two series of calcium aluminosilicate glasses were made along different silica isopleths, crossing the metaluminous join. The rate at which the five-coordinated aluminum content increases in the peraluminous region suggests that the additional aluminum is incorporated into the melt using 3-coordinated oxygen. The presence of NBO into the peraluminous region is confirmed and its value is affected by the Si/Al ratio. A similar, smaller series of potassium aluminosilicate glasses also shows the presence of NBO on the metaluminous join but at a much lower value than observed in the calcium aluminosilicate glasses. However, a series of barium aluminosilicate glasses (at a lower silica content) shows NBO content consistent with similar calcium aluminosilicate glasses; this suggests that the presence of non-stoichiometric NBO along the metaluminous join is driven by cation charge instead of cation field strength, which is confirmed to affect the amount of five-coordinated aluminum. To study the effect of temperature on these minor structural species, the glass-forming calcium aluminosilicate melts were cooled at different rates to sample the glass structure at different fictive temperatures. The five-coordinated aluminum content clearly increased with increasing fictive temperature across all samples studied, while the NBO content showed the clearest increase with increased fictive temperature in the peraluminous and high silica samples. All of these comparisons support the need for decoupled structural reactions to produce NBO and five-coordinated aluminum in these regions. Additionally, the accuracy of oxygen NMR on quantitation of structural species was tested using silicate minerals and glasses, verifying the reliability of these measurements and reaffirming that stoichiometry based methods of predicting NBO in silicate glasses remain valid.

Book Synopsis Field Strength Effect on the Elastoplastic and Mechanical Properties of Single Modifier Aluminoborosilicate Glasses by : Aubrey Fry
Download or read book Field Strength Effect on the Elastoplastic and Mechanical Properties of Single Modifier Aluminoborosilicate Glasses written by Aubrey Fry and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theoretical strength of glass far exceeds its measurable strength. The limiting factor is glass's sensitivity to surface flaws, largely due to handling. Silicate glasses are the largest commercially used glass family because they are highly versatile and can be designed with many enhanced properties. Decades worth of patents and scientific literature discuss intrinsic and extrinsic strengthening mechanisms that compensate for glass's sensitivity to surface damage, including thermal tempering, ion exchange, ceramming, lamination, etc. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the impact of modifier field strength on the mechanical response of aluminoborosilicate glasses designed to have intrinsic damage resistance. By exploring the strengthening mechanisms at the atomic level, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of how the glass composition governs physical properties and its mechanical response. Based on the principle of topological adaptability, aluminoborosilicate (ABS) glasses can be designed with intrinsically high damage resistance if they incorporate three-coordinated boron atoms. Using a careful selection of network modifying ions, they can also be amenable for chemical strengthening. This dissertation provides a comprehensive investigation of the effect of field strength (FS) on intrinsic damage resistance considering three monovalent and three divalent modifiers in ABS glasses. Various aspects of mechanical properties were analyzed as a function of network modifier (NWM) field strength and the magnitude of the applied stress. Results from this work help to (i) reevaluate assumptions regarding glass structure, (ii) improve future mechanical testing procedures, and (iii) gain insights into the cracking behavior and deformation mechanisms in silicate glasses as a function of modifier field strength and applied stress. (1) Atomic Structure: The first major discovery from this work regards the atomic structure of high strain point, mixed former glasses. For the current ABS glasses, the ratio of network formers and the low concentration of modifier oxides, in addition to high processing temperatures, increases the entropic contribution to the glass structure such that the enthalpically driven modifier and network former (NWF) interactions are frustrated. Therefore, in such systems it cannot be assumed that all Al3+ cations will be four-coordinated even if [NWM] >= [Al2O3] (concentrations denoted by square brackets). (2) Hardness and Crack Resistance: The second major discovery from this work addresses the simultaneous increase of both hardness (H) and crack resistance (CR) as a function of modifier field strength. Historically, an increase in H is presumably marked by an increase in rigidity and the probability of crack initiation. This is not the case for the current compositions, which brings the assumption of the inverse relationship between H and CR into question, specifically for glasses that might not be classified as normal. (3) Plasticity: The third discovery of this work involves the nuanced relationship between H, CR, and plasticity. Plasticity (VP) increases with modifier field strength, similar to H and CR. These findings appear counterintuitive since hardness is a measure of resistance to plastic deformation. It is found that a balance of plastic deformation mechanisms, namely, shear flow and densification, allow for an increase in H, CR, and plasticity as a function of field strength. (4) Topological Adaptability: The fourth major finding from this dissertation involves the predominant assumptions regarding topological adaptability. The topological adaptability is mainly attributed to two mechanisms: (i) the reduction in free volume under an applied stress (e.g., a decrease in bond length or angle), and (ii) structural unit conversion under an applied stress (e.g., NWF coordination changes). The first attribute is quantified by a decrease in molar volume (VM) post indentation or compression, and the second attribute is enabled by an initially high concentration of three-coordinated boron ([B3]). It is generally accepted that CR increases as topological adaptability is enhanced. The ABS glasses in this study were designed to take advantage of both mechanisms, while changing the modifier FS. Although this work did not systematically explore the impact of varying VM and [B3] on CR, it did show that CR increased as VM decreased. While this work implies that the topological adaptability can be helped or hindered based on the modifier species, future work needs to be done to systematically monitor changes in VM and CR as a function of varying [B3] in a series of related ABS glasses. (5) Poisson's Ratio: The fifth discovery from this research is that the suggested link between Poisson's ratio and cracking behavior should be reexamined. The elastic modulus increases with field strength but the Poisson's ratio did not trend with any measured property, namely, the VM and CR. Poisson's ratio has been touted as holding the key to understand cracking behavior in oxide glasses, but this is not the case for the current compositions. This misconception is likely due to the large amount of research conducted on normal (e.g., soda-lime silicate) and anomalous (e.g., pure silica) glasses which tend to ignore the intermediate glasses or mixed former glasses. (6) Elastic to Plastic Ratio: The sixth finding of this research has a direct connection to application: the mechanical performance of glass under increasing stress. The elastic-to-plastic deformation ratio (VE/VP) increases as the applied load increases. For the current compositions, a higher load results in a greater elastic response, which may help to explain static vs dynamic fatigue phenomena where a glass appears to be "stronger" when tested at higher strain rates. (7) Fracture Toughness: The seventh major discovery of this work is that the fracture toughness (KIc) of the alkaline earth glasses increases as a function of modifier field strength. Predicting fracture toughness has eluded many researchers both in ceramic and glass sciences. KIc has been related to a variety of material properties, but there is no universal predictor for how a material will perform during a fracture toughness test, especially since property trends are often found to deviate when changing the length scale of the test. From this work, results indicate that the hardness (micro-scale), crack resistance (meso-scale), fracture toughness (meso- to macro-scale), and the elastic moduli (bulk) all increase in ABS glasses with increasing FS, which has not been shown before. Additionally, the material property that had the highest linear correlation with KIc was VE/VP, indicating that a volumetric recovery study may serve as a new micro-scale test that can help predict the fracture toughness performance of ABS glasses. The goal of this dissertation is to explore the impact of glass composition on the elastoplastic response and mechanical performance of six novel single modifier aluminoborosilicate glasses. This work finds that modifier FS has a distinct role influencing mechanical properties and cracking behavior, even at modifier concentrations of around 10 mole percent. By rethinking glass chemistry accounting for these effects, properties such as hardness, crack resistance, elastic modulus, and even fracture toughness can be improved.

Much of the information presented has been classified until recently. Thus each volume provides a unique insight into hitherto unknown research and development data. This volume deals with the basic components of a composite material, namely the reinforcement and the encasing matrix material. Beginning with a specification of a range of reinforcing fibres (glass, carbon, organic, inorganic, ceramic), the book then considers in detail the development of such fibres and the significant range of properties achieved. An extensive test methodology used to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of each type of fibre matrix combination is presented, and the production method employed for each constituent part is described. This book will be of interest to anyone involved in research or development in composite materials science and technology, both in industry and universities.
