damage analysis of composite materials
Fiber reinforced composite materials have been increasingly used as structural material in airplanes and in space applications because of their high specific stiffness and strength. This work presents the results of the damage kinetic of carbon fiber reinforced polymer using the acoustic emission under solicitations. The correlations between acoustic emission parameters and damage mechanism are identified, and then confirmed by microscopic observations. This review will emphasize the roles that AE can play as a tool for the composite materials, damage mechanisms, and characterization of damage evolution with increasing time or stress, the localization and origin of damage, quantification of crack size based on energy release from concrete structures in the field and reduction in the numbers of test specimens required in various studies.

OPTICAL, STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ELECTRODEPOSITED CUPROUS OXIDE THIN FILMS: EFFECT OF DEPOSITION TIME
The purpose of this work is the development and characterization of a novel electrode material based on copper oxide (Cu2O) for use as electrode in catalytic application. The samples are prepared on an indium doped tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate using a simple electrochemical deposition process from a solution of copper (II) sulfate and citric acid. The Cu2O films are deposited under chronoamperometric control at a potential of −0.50V versus SCE at different deposition times ranging from 2 to 15 minutes. The solution was maintained at a temperature of 60°C and a pH of 11. The effect of the deposition time is mainly examined in terms of the change in structural, morphological and optical properties of the Cu2O films using various characterization techniques. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images showed that the prepared thin films are homogeneous with a granular shape. Also, the surface of the deposits becomes roughened with increasing deposition time. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the morphology of the prepared thin films is composed of a mixture of cubic and pyramidal shapes regularly distributed over the surface of the substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements demonstrated that Cu2O thin films prepared by electrochemical deposition have a pure cubic structure with higher preferred growth orientation (111) and good crystallinity. Characterization by UV-Visible spectroscopy showed that the samples have high absorption in the visible region. The calculated values of the direct band gap are between 1.9 and 2.15 eV. These results represent a good starting point for the development of low cost anode used in catalytic application. Voir les détails

Optical and Photo-electrochemical characterization of manganese dioxide/polypyrrole nanocomposite
PPy-coated manganese dioxide (PPy-MnO2) synthesized by depositing PPy on the surface of γ-MnO2 particles in acetonitrile solution containing 10-1M lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) containing a monomer (pyrrole) and semiconductor (MnO2) nanoparticles. The composite materials (MnO2-PPy/ITO) were characterized by different methods including cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cyclic voltammogram showed one redox couple characteristic of the oxidation and reduction composite material of composite material. The impedance spectroscopy study showed that the resistance of the film increases with the MnO2 incorporated in the polymer. The morphological analysis of the film surfaces showed that the MnO2 nanoparticle increased the roughness. These results give information on the use possibility of these materials for energy storage and as photovoltaic cells applications. Voir les détails

Risk of Contamination of the Littoral lands by the mill scale in Annaba City-Algeria
A significant amount of scale is produced during casting of ingots and processing of hot-rolled products. In the El Hadjar steel complex, during the various rolling operations, the amount of scale produced is approximately 0.1% of the annual production of the rolling mills. The quality of the thin sheet during rolling is affected by the behavior of the iron oxide layers formed on their surfaces. For this reason, acids and oils are used for the descaling of slabs and billets by means of pressurized water. The calamine, contaminated by these various acids and used oils, is rejected and stored involuntarily on important areas and pollutes soil and groundwater. Micrographic observations as well as x-ray diffraction analysis have shown that calamine consists mainly of iron oxides. Hematite and magnetite become the main components for oxidation times greater than 1 hour. Characterization tests have shown that calamine is dense (ρ = 4.8 g/cm3), its particle size is variable depending on the degree of oxidation (from 0.5 to 10 mm). Simultaneous thermal analysis showed that an increase in mass of the calamine sample with a release of heat. Studies are underway for the physico-chemical characterization of the soils of the storage areas. Voir les détails

Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates Vibration Behavior Using a New Simple Finite Element Based on Reddy’s Third Order Theory
In this paper a 2D quadrilateral finite element has been developed based on Reddy’s third order shear deformation theory for the natural vibration behavior analysis of composites laminated plates. The developed element is a C0 four-nodded isoparametric with seven degrees of freedom (7DOF) at each node. Each node has only three translation components, two rotations and two higher order rotational degrees. In particular, the selective numerical integration technique is introduced in the present FE formulation in order to achieve good results and to alleviate the locking phenomenon. The performance and reliability of the proposed formulation are demonstrated by comparing the author’s results with those obtained using the three-dimensional elasticity theory, analytical solutions and other advanced finite element models. The results indicate that the proposed formulation is promising in terms of the accuracy and the convergence speed for both thin and thick plates Voir les détails
