    Notes on the genus Mama Belokobylskij (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae), and on the use of monotype taxa (2004)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen (00240672) vol.78, 18-28 (2004) p.451
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-01-18
    Description: The genus Mama Belokobylskij, 2000 (Braconidae; Euphorinae) is re-assessed and the type species is compared with three similar species: Microctonus cephalicus Provancher, 1886, Microctonus reclinator Ruthe, 1856, and Euphorus spiniscapus Muesebeck, 1936. The results are discussed in relation to the use of taxa based on one specimen (“monotype taxa”). Problems concerning our knowledge of important groups of Euphorinae are outlined. The context of the peculiarly tangled taxonomical situation, which this paper deals with, is considered to be widespread in parasitoid taxonomy, and should be borne in mind in current studies of parasitoid biodiversity assessment.

    Phylogeny and biogeography of the genus Taractrocera Butler, 1870 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), an example of Southeast Asian-Australian interchange (2004)
    In:  Zoologische Mededelingen (00240672) vol.78, 18-28 (2004) p.383
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-01-18
    Description: The genus Taractrocera is distributed throughout the Oriental and Australian Regions. It contains 16 species, of which two, T. fusca and T. trikora, are described as new in this paper. All species are briefly characterized and the new species are described in full. The phylogeny of the genus is inferred, based on an analysis of morphological and genital characters, both of males and females. The biogeography of the genus is discussed in relation to the phylogeny. The genus has an Australian origin. After some diversification in Australia it dispersed into Asia, in or before the Miocene. It dispersed in the reverse direction, probably before the late-Miocene emergence of the Banda Arc and the Moluccas, 5-6 Mya. Three species are adapted to high altitude, one in the Himalayas and two in New Guinea. Apparently the adaptations occurred independently in the two areas. In New Guinea the high altitude species may have simply been carried up by the Pleistocene and recent uplift of the mountains. Possibly helped by the lowering of the sea-level several times during the Pleistocene, one Australian species colonized some of the Lesser Sunda Islands relatively recently.

    Nieuwe en minder bekende vlokreeftjes van sublitorale harde bodems in het Deltagebied (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea) (2000)

    Publication Date: 2007-01-10
    Description: New and lesser-known amphipods of hard substrates in the Delta area of the Netherlands (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea) The distribution of 27 new and lesser-known amphipod species of sublittoral hard substrates in the Delta area in the southwest of The Netherlands is described. Data from literature on these species are scarce and/or not readily available. They are supplemented with results from recent investigations of mainly sublittoral hard substrates. Of the 22 marine species only nine occur offshore as well as inshore. The others seem to be restricted to inshore man-made coastline protections. This probably reflects the scarcity of hard substrates further offshore. Four invasive species were recorded in the brackish and freshwater part of the Delta area, two of them of pontocaspian origin.

    De opmars van de wespenspin Argiope bruennichi in Nederland (Araneae: Araneidae) (2000)
    In:  Nederlandse Faunistische Mededelingen (01692453) vol.11 (2000) p.45

    Publication Date: 2007-01-10
    Description: The expansion of the range of the spider Argiope bruennichi in the Netherlands (Araneae: Araneidae) Argiope bruennichi (Scopoli, 1772) is one of the biggest and most colourful spiders in Europe and therefore easy to recognise, even by non-specialists. The species has expanded its range in Germany and Belgium for several decades now and reached the south of The Netherlands in 1980. After the discovery of the first female in the south of the province of Limburg more specimens were found in this region in subsequent years. Later the species was discovered near Herkenbosch, about 30 kilometres to the north. Over the last years the expansion continued rapidly and now almost 300 records are brought together. The species has become widespread in the southern and eastern part of The Netherlands. In 1995 a leap of some 70 kilometres was made, from Limburg to the southern parts of the Veluwe. The years 1998 and 1999 were very good for Argiope, both with over 80 records per year. It is suggested that this expansion is related to the warm and sunny summers in the nineties.

    Description: Nests of the carpenter ant Camponotus ligniperda in the northwestern part of its range (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Camponotus ligniperda (Latreille, 1802) is a rare ant species restricted to the eastern part of the Netherlands. Most records relate to a low number of workers. In this paper the species is reported for the first time from the province of Drenthe. Some ecological features of the groundnest are compared with the only other recent nest in the Netherlands. Both nests are located under a decidious tree which protects them from excessive precipitation. In contrast with reports from Germany and Sweden, nesting sites in buildings and houses are not known. It is suggested that the low chances for settlement in our country are due to the wet atlantic climate as well as competition with larger Formica species.

    Notes: Symbolic computational systems introduce some unique features in computational engineering. There have been several papers published on the solution of differential equations under given boundary conditions by symbolic systems. The finite element formalism has received prime attention in the course of development of symbolic computation in engineering. The main idea has been to develop a symbolic FEM package to reduce the burden of manual algebra, eliminate errors introduced by numerical quadrature, and improve the efficiency of element generation.This work discusses a symbolic solution to electromagnetic linear antenna problems. The solution is a method of moments that transforms Pocklington's integral equation to a matrix equation. The symbolic system is used to produce (1) analytical integration, (2) the parametric expression for the input impedance and (3) computational code for forward and reverse problem of the input impedance.

    A Laplace domain finite element method (LDFEM) applied to diffusion and propagation problems in electrical engineering (1994)

    Notes: This paper presents a new finite element formulation in the Laplace domain for both diffusion and wave equations with applications in the field of electrical engineering. With the aid of congruence transformation of matrices, the finite element equations in the Laplace domain are solved and time-domain results can be obtained through the inverse Laplace transform. In a test problem, good agreement between the numerical results derived with the present method and the analytical solutions has been found. For applications in which only Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are involved, this new finite element approach can be applied and provide both frequency-domain and time-domain results in one run without any timestepping scheme. The limitations of using the congruence transformation in solving propagation problems are also addressed in this paper.

    Notes: A hybrid method obtained as a combination of the coupled-mode method (CMM) and the mode-matching method (MMM) is developed and applied in the analysis of multiple dielectric and magnetic discontinuities in rectangular waveguides. As both are moment methods, some kind of truncation has to be carried out in the computer implementation. It is shown that selection of a different number of modes in the two methods is not necessary, unless low-permittivity meida inside the waveguide are considered. As a consequence, the procedure for slecting the number of basis functions is only done in one of the methods. Numerical examples are presented showing the behaviour of the method and the proofs of convergence. Examples are included illustrating the power of this hybrid technique, especially in relation to non-reciprocal structures containing magnetized ferrites.

    Numerical simulation of two-valley semiconductor device model based on an ENO shock capturing algorithm (1994)

    Notes: Simulation results for a n+-n-n+ two-valley semiconductor device obtained by use of a shock capturing numerical agorithm are presented. The one-dimensional problem is modelled by two systems of Euler equations connected by their source terms, and the Poisson equation. The resulting system of seven equations is hyperbolic and non-linear, and it is a great problem to find an adequate numerical approximation of its time-dependent discontinuities. There are additional complications due to the stiffness of the source terms.The numerical method used in this paper is first-order acurate in time but of high spatial order in regions of smoothness. Before the method is applied, the system has to be transformed to a characteristic form. The adopted shock capturing algorithm enables the choice of the order of the accuracy by the appropriate choice of the reconstruction polynomial. Reconstructions of the second and fourth order are tested and some numerical results are presented. Because of the stiffness of the source terms, the sixth-order accurate scheme breaks down. The results presented, and especially the response obtained of the structure to the step and periodic applied voltage, prove the correctness of the used schemes.

    Notes: An algorithm is developed to evaluate the responses of discontinuous coplanar strip-lines excited by external electromagnetic fields. The algorithm uses the cascade chain matrix method which employs the distributed circuit parameters to model the external field coupling to the line and it is applicable to most commonly encountered discontinuities in microwave integrated circuit interconnects on lossy substrates. A general CAD program is developed based on this model and it is applied to realistic coplanar strip-line interconnections with geometric and resistive discontinuities to illustrate the capabilities of the algorithm. These interconnect models are selected from a practical microwave integrated circuit design. Simplicity and fast speed of the algorithm enable computer-aided analysis of externally induced electromagnetic noise in integrated circuits to be carried out. The effects of dielectric losses in the integrated circuit substrates and the discontinuities in the conducting tracks on the wave coupling are investigated in isolation.

    Notes: The finite element method (FEM) with local absorbing boundary conditions has been recently applied to compute electromagnetic scattering from large 3-D geometries. In this paper, we present details pertaining to code implementation and optimization. Various types of sparse matrix storage schemes are discussed and their performance is examined in terms of vectorization and net storage requirements. The system of linear equations is solved using a preconditioned biconjugate gradient (BCG) algorithm and a fairly detailed study of existing point and block preconditioners (diagonal and incomplete LU) is carried out. A modified ILU preconditioning scheme is also introducted which works better than the traditional version for our matrix systems. The parallelization of the iterative sparse solver and the matrix generation/assembly as implemented on the KSR1 multiprocessor is described and the interprocessor communication patterns are analysed in detail. Near-linear speed-up is obtained for both the iterative solver and the matrix generation/assembly phases. Results are presented for a problem having 224,476 unknowns and validated by comparison with measured data.

    Notes: The method of effective penetration depth is used to produce a novel scalar or polarized finite difference approach for the solution of optical rib waveguide field problems. The new method is quicker than previous finite difference approaches and requires less computer memory. Propagation constant values are presented for a range of semiconductor rib waveguides and are found to be indistinguishable from benchmark results produced using earlier methods of analysis. A simple polarization correction formula recently derived is confirmed by utilizing the good accuracy of these results. This enables discussion of the relationship between quasi-TE, quasi-TM and scalar modes, and a further substantial reduction of the cpu time.

    Notes: To make possible the application of the three-dimensional finite element method to electrically large problems, it is combined with the analytical solutions of arbitrary large cavity with aperture. In this paper, detailed analysis for this hybrid method is presented. The element matrices necessary for coupling the finite element method to analytical solutions are given. The proposed hybrid method significantly reduces the number of unknown since only the inhomogeneity needs to be discretized. Thus computer memory and storage demands are reduced. In addition. This hybrid method employs the edge element which is not expected to produce spurious solutions. Also, the formulation presented in this paper preserves the sparsity of the finite element matrix, and does not require any matrix inversion. This new hybrid method is used to compute the field distributions in various partially filled rectangular enclosure. The results match well with the pure edgebased finite element method and analytical solutions.

    Notes: In this paper the traditional square mesh 2D-TLM algorithm is generalized for rectangular meshes of arbitrary aspect ratio. It is shown that the anisotropic rectangular TLM network can be conceived in such a way that the propagation vector remains independent of the direction of propagation in the infinitesimal approximation. A full dispersion analysis of the rectangular mesh in then performed for the general case, and results are compared to that of the traditional square mesh.

    Notes: The radiation field patterns of rectangular waveguides and horns of finite dimensions are obtained numerically. The electric field integral equation is formulated to relate their radiation patterns to the surface current distribution. These currents are determined numerically by reducing the integral equation to a matrix equation, using the moment method. The computed currents are then used to calculate the radiation patterns and cross-polar fields of the finite wavegiudes and horns. The method is numerically efficient and can be applied to the computation and optimization of the antenna feed configurations.

    Notes: This paper describes the application of the boundary element method to solving two-dimensional steady slow viscous flow problems (creeping flow) in thermal silicon oxidation. The proposed method used the velocity-pressure formulation. The use of the incompressibility condition as a boundary condition and the application of the second Green's identity to transform the domain integral into a boundary integral result in a system of three boundary integral equations for velocity components and pressure. Solution of this system to be an ill-posed problem because of the presence of boundary conditions of the first kind. Two methods of regularization are employed.

    Notes: The particle-in-cell method is coupled with boundary-fitted co-ordinates in order to model the stationary Maxwell-Lorentz problem in technical devices. New numerical algorithms describing the transition between the grid model and the mesh-free model are developed and the existing techniques of finite difference schemes for equidistant grids are extended to non-equidistant, arbitrarily shaped, convex four-point meshes. The modelling process is described, and both the numerical approximation and the algorithms are discussed. Applications in different technical devices show the flexibility of the method.

    Notes: Series function expansion algorithms of the time-domain analysis of boundary value problems are discussed. Electromagnetic fields inside a structure under investigation are expanded into series of basis functions and the expansion coefficients are found by means of the Galerkin method. The numerical cost of algorithms is discussed and a cost efficient approach is proposed for formulations using sine and cosine expansion functions. Compared with conventional time-domain methods the algorithms described show the time evolution of the expansion coefficients rather than the samples of a physical continuum at discrete nodes.

    Notes: The application of multigrid techniques to the computation of the static solutions of electromagnetic field problems governed by Laplace's equation is described. This technique is compared with the conventional successive over-relaxation (SOR) method for solving finite difference problems. In contrast to SOR, the number of iterations of multigrid needed to achieve convergence is largely independent of the grid size. It is shown that the relative performance of multigrid is excellent on large grids where the number of iterations of SOR needed to achieve convergence becomes prohibitively large. The technique is illustrated by applying a parallel implementation of multigrid to find a quasistatic solution of a boxed microstrip problem.

    Notes: A new approach to efficiently compute the low-frequency eigenmodes of a time-domain model approximating a linear physical system is proposed. The method is based on principles known from digital signal processing, in particular from parametic spectrum estimation, so it is not surprising that the achievable accuracy is much higher than the accuracy of the usual non-parametric discrete Fourier transform approach. The algorithm works in the general lossy case even for a very large number of unknowns and can easily be extended to calculate steady-state solutions under sinusoidal excitations for several different frequencies simultaneously.

    Notes: The eigenmodes in electromagnetic cavities, loaded with arbitrarily shaped dielectric materials, are computed by the edge element method. The computation shows that the well known ‘spurious modes’ no longer appear. Formulae are given and verified so that the number of zero eigenvalues, which come from ∇ × H = 0, may be accurately predicted. Formulae for the order and density of the global matrices are given for a rectangular cavity regularly divided into bricks and tetrahedra, allowing an associated comparison between the contrasting edge and nodal element formulations. Comparison of the computed results with available theoretical and previously published data show the edge element approach to be a robust, accurate and effective method.

    Notes: In this paper we demonstrate the use of differential equations by means of an example from network analysis and show that differential/algebraic equations (DAE), rather than explicit ordinary differential equations (ODE), are more suitable for the description of electrical systems and networks. The main ideas of numerical integration of ODEs are presented. We consider this material from the point of view of replacing the ODE by a difference equation (DE). In particular, the relationship between the ODE and the associated DE is discussed. In the last Section the application of integration methods for OEDs upon DAEs and its difficulties are discussed. The paper is intended as a review; but a few new results are also included.

    Notes: A convex hexahedral TLM mesh of arbitrary shape is presented and the transmission-line matrix method extended to any non-orthogonal configuration. The novel mesh constitutes a natural generalization of Johns' condensed node. The associated TLM process is analysed and reconstructed as a genuine finite difference time-domain algorithm. Nodal S-parameters are derived from discretized Maxwell's equations and canonical stability criteria yield the TLM timestep. Unitarity is discussed and energy conservation confirmed in the non-conductive case.A given block-diagonal representation of the S-matrix restrains processing time per node and iteration within the range of traditional methods. The shortcomings of the rigid classical grid, as the need for inaccurate staircasing approximations, are, however, ruled out.Our analysis takes advantage of the recently developed propagator integral approach.

    Notes: The existing treatment of an instantaneous endothermic change of state is extended to deal both with exothermic effects and with first order Arrhenius changes. These extended treatments are used to model complex changes of phase occurring during the firing of ball clay and china clay, both of which are constitutents of the slip used in the production of vitreous china ware. The adequacy of the treatments is investigated for both clays by comparing a TLM simulation of a DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) experiment with measurements made during the experiment.

    Notes: Transverse transmission concepts in the Fourier transmission domain for multilayer planar transmission medium are presented. This complete transverse transmission theory (TTT) is found to be a superset of different Fourier-transform-based numerical techniques widely used in guided wave analysis, namely the modematching method and the spectral-domain approach. The features of the theory are: the expansion of field quantities in longitudinal section (LSE/LSM) modes, the concept of rotation of the transverse field vectors, and a comprehnsive algorithm using recursive matrix standard form. It is shown that the mode-matching method and spectral-domain approach are generally equivalent except for the last step of imposing the final boundary conditions, and can therefore be summarized in a unified theory within the framework of TTT. In addition, a new parameter, the polarization coefficient, has been introduced to describe the field polarization of the guided wave in a quantitative manner. It is believed that the present theory will help us to gain more insight into hybrid mode propagation in multilayer planar circuits.

    Numerical drift-diffusion simulation of Auger hot electron transport in Ingaasp/Inp double heterojunction laser diodes (1994)

    Notes: This paper considers the adaptation of drift-diffusion device simulation methodology to study Auger-recombination-induced hot electron transport characteristics in InGaAsP/InP double heterostructure laser diodes. In order to model the transport behaviour of the Auger hot electrons, we decompose the conventional electron current continuity equation into two components, with one for the Auger hot electrons and the other for the low-energy electrons. These equations, which use the energy relaxation time parameter to model the dynamics of the Auger hot electrons, are then coupled with the hole current continuity equation and the Poisson equation to obtain self-consistent solutions. Results from the case studies of one-dimensional N-p-P InGaAsP/InP double heterojunction laser diodes with material composition corresponding to 1·3 μm and 1·55 μm wavelength emissions are presented. We have observed that hot electrons generated through Auger recombination inside the active region can spread into both the N- and the P-InP cladding layers. Within the drift-diffusion framework, it is demonstrated that the hot electron concentration in the N-InP cladding layer can be five orders of magnitude higher than that in the P-InP cladding layer. Because energy transport of the hot electrons in not modelled under the drift-diffusion approximation, the simulated results are discussed to highlight some of the possible limitations in using drift-diffusion physics to study Auger hot electron transport behaviour. The importance of taking energy transport into account is emphasized.

    Notes: Ray-besed methods have been previously developed for accurately predicting the electromagnetic scattering from cavity interiors that allowed for realistic modelling of complex cavities such as jet engine inlets. An analytic geometric model is developed for bifurcated cavities based on connecting sections of generalized super-ellipse functions. The electromagnetic scattering from such cavities using the ‘shooting and bouncing rays’ (SBR) method is discussed.

The model is based on the theory of the coupled transmission lines and the resulting system of differential equations has been solved by means of the finite difference, time-domain (FDTD) method. The frequency response of the network has been achieved by the discrete fourier transform (DFT) algorithm; measurements, performed with a vectorial network analyser, show a good agreement with numerical simulation.

    Notes: A numerical frequence-domain modelling of two-terminal, non-linear microwave circuits is presented. It basically relies on a process allowing the solution of the frequency-domain curcuit harmonic balance equations while accounting for the semiconductor device by means of an accurate numerical macroscopic physical model. In its present state of development, the model allows the study of a single two-terminal device circuit operating in harmonic mode. Its capabilites are illustrated by means of the results of a study devoted to the optimization of the load curcuit configuration of a millimetre-wave avalanche diode frequency multiplier. The influence of the output load impedance level on the circuit output RF performance has been investigated for different input power levels in direct frequency multiplication mode and in the presence of additional circuit tunings at low harmonic rank idler frequencies.

    Notes: This paper describes a rigorous and systematic procedure to derive a non-linear distributed FET model that an easily be implemented in CAD routines of simulators based on harmonic balance techniques. The new model is derived from a knowldge of the conventional linear lumped equivalent circuit, from non-linear current sources extracted with pulsed measurements, and from the physical dimensions of the FET.For fundamental and haromonic requencies, the FET is modelled by N identical cells. Each cell is made up of a non-linear two-port section inserted between two linear four-port sections that simulate the coupling and the distributed effects along the electrodes of the FET in the width direction only. This non-linear distributed scaling approach to FET modelling has been applied to the analysis of a submicrometre-gate GaAs FET at Millimetre-wave frequencies, and the results were compared to the non-linear lumped element approach. This approach can be applied to other transistors used in non-linear regions at microwave and millimetre-wave frequencies.

    Notes: A rigorous technique for studying a thin wire circular loop antenna excited by a magnetic frill is developed. The exact kernel is derived and used to improve the accuracy. The scheme is applicable to small as well as large loops. Results obtained are nearly indistinguishable from those determined by the Fourier expansion method for non-resonant loops. A disagreement of 2 per cent is generally observed when the loop is close to reasonant for βb 〉 2. Compared with the conventional numerical method where a loop is represented by a polygon of straight wires, the present scheme is much faster and more accurate. Extension of this method to cover an antenna system of arbitrarily oriented loops intermingled with straight wires can be easily achieved.

    Notes: The calculation of potentials in homogeneous and isotropic media by the boundary element method has the advantage that a harmonic solution of Laplace's equation is obtained for given approximated boundary conditions. The technique leads to the solution of linear systems with full matrices of dimension 1000-10,000 for medium- and large-sized three-dimensional problems, An efficient solution procedure of the linear systems is required.While the iterative solution of the large and sparse linear systems arising from the finite difference or the finite element method is well documented, the systems resulting from the boundary element method are typically solved by direct methods. However, in many cases an iterative solver needs far fewer operations to achieve a sufficient accuracy. Importantly, there are many alternative methods, each of them well suited for different types of problem.Here, we provide an overview of state-of-the-art iterative solvers. We will discuss the particular methods that have been successfully applied to systems arising from field calculations in the high-voltage engineering by the boundary element method. The selection of appropriate methods is discussed. We demonstrate that iterative solutions can be much faster than direct solvers with regards to the number of operations. Furthermore, these solvers are optimally suited for today's supercomputers because they can be efficiently vectorized and parallelized.

    Notes: This paper provides details of a widely applicable technique of hybrid modelling of thermal and particle diffusion which can help to reduce computational load in explicit formulation. The undesirable effects of artificial boundaries, which are introduced when a simulation is truncated or when an expanding mesh is used, can be eliminated by the use of discrete Green's functions. The technique can also be applied to problems involving infinite or near-infinite domains or problems where a complex thermal region is embedded within a larger, more simply described domain.

    Notes: A study of the influence of a compatibilizing agent on phase morphology development in a 75/25 polyethylene/polyamide-6 blend in a modular co-rotating twin screw extruder is presented. The development of phase morphology along the axis of the modular screw was observed by cooling the extruder and removing the polymer from the screw channels. Changes in phase morphology due to the addition of a compatibilizer have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Sufficient quantities of compatibilizing agent produce significant increases in the rate of mixing and also reduce the scale of the phase morphology. Much larger quantities (5%) than actually required for interface coverage are needed for rapid mixing. This seems to be due to the high viscosity of the matrix.

    Notes: Polyalkylene-imides (i.e., aliphatic-aromatic polyimides) were prepared smoothly in N-methyl pyrollidone from straight chain aliphatic diamines and pyrromellitic dianhydride. Melting points of the polymers ranged from about 300 to 450°C, depending of the length of the alkylene chains. An odd/even effect related to the alkylene chain was noted for melting points and glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the polymers. The Tgs were relatively high, especially when compared to similarly structured polyalkylene-heterocycles, e.g., polyakylenebenzoxazoles.

    Notes: The true crystallite modulus of polyoxymethylene (POM) was evaluated experimentally and thoeretically as a function of temperature. The mechanical deformation mechanism of POM was lattice-dynamically predicted and confirmed by measuring the stress-induced vibrational frequency shifts of the infrared and Raman spectra, which were interpreted on the basis of anharmonic potential field.

    Notes: Transmission electron microscopy and optical studies of thin films of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) and polyoxymethylene (POM) provide evidence for a distinction between crazing mechanisms in semicrystalline polymers above and below Tg. In the latter temperature regime, deformation in iPS and POM crystallized at high supercooling has been discussed in terms of existing models for crazing in amorphous glassy polymers, based on entanglement ideas. Above Tg, where the difference in mechanical behavior of the amorphous and crystalline regions becomes marked, the fibrillar nature of local deformation appears to be a consequence of the inhomogeneity of the undeformed polymer.

    Notes: Simplifying assumptions are used to reduce micromechanical treatments to compact expressions which directly reveal the role of the inclusion shape and aspect ratio in establishing the elastic behavior of heterogeneous materials. Attention is directed to the comparison of aligned ellipsoidal and cylindrical inclusions that exhibit transversely isotropic behavior characterized by five independent elastic constants. These comparisons show that the effective transverse in-plane moduli (ET*, k* and GTT*) are essentially independent of inclusion shape for aspect ratio greater than ∼ 20; ellipsoidal inclusions provide higher longitudinal reinforcement than cylindrical inclusions of equivalent aspect ratio. Comparison of predictions with measured elastic moduli shows that both the cylindrical and ellipsoidal shape models for isolated inclusions overpredict longitudinal elastic constants for systems which exhibit evidence of inclusion agglomeration. The notion of an effective aspect ratio based on clusters of filaments responding as a coherent unit appears to provide a means for reconciling a wide range of experimental observations.

    Notes: Imide formation from -CONH and -COOH functional groups of 2-carboxyphenylmethacrylamide (2-CPM), 4-carboxyphenylmethacrylamide (4-CPM), 4-carboxyphenyl methacrylamide/methylmethacrylate (4-CPM/MMA) and 4-carboxyphenylmethacrylamide/N-phenylmalemide (4-CPM/NPMI) electropolymerized matrices was investigated. It was found that 2-CPM polymers undergo intramolecular imidization and anhydride formation, which result in a small amount of crosslinked network. On the other hand, the thermally cured 4-CPM polymer demonstrates a significant increase in gel fraction. Tg and dynamic storage modulus, owing to crosslinked network formation. Tgs of 4-CPM/MMA and 4-CPM/NPMI composites measured by thermomechanical analysis after thermal heating were increased and were correlated very well with the preheating time. The 4-CPM/MMA composites with a particle crosslinking (Tg increased to 245°C) maintained a higher Izod impact strength than a typical epoxy composite (200 kJ/m2 vs. 100 kJ/m2). Upon heating to promote crosslinking, a lower shear strength (65 MPa) of a 4-CPM/MMA composite increased to a strength of 78 MPa, close to the 80 MPa of an epoxy composite at 67% fiber volume fraction. A lower water absorption of around 1% was associated with the increased crosslinking. The mechanical properties of the 4-CPM/NPMI composites showed a similar trend upon preheating.

    Notes: The diffusion equation of low molecular weight substances (penetrant) into a coaxial cylinder of multiple components (m) was formulated in general and solved rigorously. As the simplest but a practical case of m = 2, which corresponds to the diffusion of penetrant into fibrous material with skin and core structure, the diffusion of penetrant was analyzed in detail. That is, changes in the penetrant concentration distribution within the coaxial dual cylinder of skin and core components and the total amount of penetrant sorbed within the cylinder both with time after exposing the cylinder to atmosphere of fixed penetrant concentration of Cout were calculated with variation of the diffusion coefficient ratio (D1/D2) and the radius ratio (R2/R1), where D1 and D2 are the diffusion coefficients of penetrant in the core and the skin, and R2 and R1 are the radii of the fibrous material and the core, respectively. Keeping (R2/R1) at a constant value of 1.2 but varying (D1/D2) from 104 to 10-2, the penetrant concentration distribution was calculated and found to be much different particularly within the core between (D1/D2) 〉 1 and (D1/D2) 〈 1. The sorption curves were also found to deviate in their respective ways from that of Fickian curve of a homogeneous cylinder with (D1/D2) = 1 except at initial stage of sorption. Further, by keeping (D1/D2) constant but varying (R2/R1) from 1.1 to 1.5, the effects of relative skin thickness upon the sorption curve were studied.

    Notes: A general formulation is presented for the orientation averaging of the properties of representative volume elements of heterogeneous materials. Approximations are introduced that result in the identification of four independent orientation parameters that are required to specify a general state of three-dimensional orientation. The general relationships are reduced further for the special case of “planar” and “axial” distribution and applied to an aggregate averaging scheme for short-fiber composites.

    Notes: This paper deals with a new approach to nonlinear and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The new concept, developed by P. H. Lindenmeyer, states that in a heat-setting process, with the same average processing temperature, the addition of a sinusoidal fluctuation (approximately) can produce two opposite changes depending upon the frequency and amplitude of the temperature fluctuation. Preliminary experimental results obtained on nylon 6 monofilaments using a flexible thermomechanical analyzer have clearly shown that the physical properties (in this case torque-twist modulus) depend not only upon the average temperature but also upon its time rate of change.

    Notes: The crack growth behavior of polypropylene biaxially oriented by cross-rolling was studied at low temperature. Single edge notch testing produced a stable tearing type of crack growth in both 50% and 80% biaxially oriented polypropylene at -40°C, in contrast to the brittle fracture of unoriented polypropylene. The crack growth in the two oriented materials began slowly and accelerated to a constant rate that was higher in the 80% oriented material than in the 50% oriented material. The main difference between the crack growth behavior of the two was the longer period of initial slow growth in the case of 80% orientation. This period of slow growth corresponded to crack growth through the notch tip damage zone. Residual strength diagrams were used to present the crack growth data obtained when the stress state was intermediate between plane stress and plane strain. Fractography revealed large differences among the fracture surfaces of the three materials with the unoriented polypropylene showing a grainy appearance from the brittle fracture. The two oriented materials showed considerable ductility. The 50% oriented material showed many voids in the fracture surface, indicating that voiding during the fracture process contributed significantly to the toughness improvement. The 80% oriented polypropylene showed delamination crazing on the fracture surface with layered material and fibrils bridging the crazes.

    Notes: The reactions of N-phenylphthalimide films with ozone have been studied under a variety of conditions: dry ozone, moist ozone, ozone plus ultraviolet light, as well as ozone plus water vapor plus ultraviolet light. This compound is a conveniently available model for imide polymers. These reaction conditions represent simulation of certain aspects of the space environment. For each set of reaction conditions the reaction products were determined by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Semiempirical molecular orbital computations were made of the relative energetics of possible reaction pathways consistent with the generation of the observed products. The reaction products found indicate fragmentation of the imidic moiety for which the energetics are favorable.

    Notes: The curing of epoxy-amine polymer has been modeled by the reaction of functional groups, and the mole balance of these is governed by a set of six nonlinear differential equations. In this work, we have first developed a complete analytical solution for isothermal curing. For nonisothermal curing, we have divided the domain of hydroxyl group concentration β into small increments Δβ and adopted our analytical results for this domain. In addition, we solved the energy balance equation analytically and obtained the temperature rise for Δβ. We have compared our results with those obtained from the Runge Kutta numerical solutions. We have shown that our semianalytical technique is about a thousand times more efficient and faster.

    Notes: At 75/25 concentration ratio, bisphenol a polycarbonate (PC)/styreneacry-lonitrile copolymer (SAN) blend has poor impact resistance compared to PC/ABS. A rubber phase methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) of core/shell type was dispersed in PC/SAN blend. The morphology of the unmodified and modified blend was investigated. The influence of the acrylonitrile ratio in the SAN on the microstructure was studied. It clearly shows that core/shell resides at the interface between PC and SAN. It seems that core/shell particles enhance the adhesion between the different phases. Their presence influences the interface mobility; i.e., the coalescence of the dispersed phase observed in pure PC/SAN is considerably reduced when the MBS particles are added. The impact resistance of the samples was correlated with the morphology.

    Notes: This paper presents the development of a model for free radical initiated polypropylene degradation during reactive extrusion that combines a kinetic model of the polypropylene degradation reaction with a simplified model of the melting mechanism in the extruder. The free radical initiated degradation of polypropylene is characterized by a narrowing of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and a decrease in the molecular weight averages. A high temperature SEC is used to determine MWD's for three different commercially available polypropylenes degraded at various initiator concentrations in a 1.5 inch single screw extruder (L/D = 24:1). The predictions of the kinetic model alone and the combined kinetic-melting model are compared with the experimentally determined MWD's and molecular weight averages for the degraded polypropylenes. The predictions of a modified kinetic model that includes the possibility of termination by combination are also examined. The kinetic-melting model is found to provide significantly improved predictions of the experimentally determined MWD's and molecular weight averages in comparison to the original kinetic model. A viscosity-molecular weight relationship is also developed, which is then used to determine the gain of the degradation process as a function of the initiator concentration from the molecular weight averages predicted by the kinetic-melting model. Earlier work has shown such prior knowledge of the process gain can be used to significantly improve the performance of process control schemes for the degradation process.

    Notes: The curing and vitrification effect during the reaction of ATBN modified epoxy resin was studied through the dynamic differential scanning calorimetry method and a new reaction kinetic equation containing generalized WLF equation was developed to describe the reaction rate at both glassy and rubbery state. An autocatalytic mechanism was found to describe adequately the cure kinetics of the rubber modified epoxy resin and the overall order of reaction was assumed to be 2. The kinetic parameters were determined from the DSC data through the Marquardt's multivariable nonlinear regression method and Runge-Kutta integration technique. The presence of rubber indicated minor effect on the cure kinetics of epoxy resin. The Arrhenius type viscosity function was employed to establish a relationship between viscosity data measured by RMS and chemical conversion calculated from the reaction kinetic equation.

    Notes: Polyurethane foam formation involves both polymerization and expansion processes. The dynamics of the water and R-11 blown foams depend on the rates of chemical and physical blowing processes, along with the rate of viscosity increase of the reacting mixture. Experiments were carried out to study the dynamics of free rising, water and R-11 blown rigid polyurethane foams. The density and temperature change during the foam formation were monitored. A theoretical model was developed to predict the density and temperature variation with time. In the model, the physical blowing agent (R-11) evaporation process is assumed to be heat generation-controlled and the carbon dioxide generation process to be controlled by the rate of the water-isocyanate reaction. The kinetic parameters of the reactions of isocyanate with polyol and water were obtained separately and were asssumed to be independent of each other. The water-isocyanate reaction appears to follow first-order kinetics with respect to concentration of water. The theoretical predictions of the model show good agreement with the experimental data for density variation with time. The model predictions for temperature rise also match experimental data, except at the later stages of foaming when it is found to be slower than the experimental measurements. However, this deviation does not affect the dynamics of density change since it occurs after the completion of the expansion process.

    Notes: This paper describes the application of a molecular sensor for in-situ monitoring of epoxy-diamine cure via remote sensing fiberoptic probes. A custom-built, fiberoptic fluorimeter allows on-line recording of fluorescence spectra directly from the cure environment. Cure reactions in epoxy-diamine network, such as diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DGEBA-DDS) or diglycidyl ether of butanediol-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DGEB-DDS), have been monitored by a reactive molecular sensor, diamino azobenzene (DAA). DAA exhibits sensitive changes in UV-visible and fluorescence spectra due to the conversion of its primary amine groups to secondary and tertiary amine groups. Fluorescence intensities are correlated with extent of reaction in epoxy network and processing parameters, such as cure temperatures and time. The use of an internal reference dye for normalization of fluorescence intensities is necessary for the quantitative correlation of spectral signals with the network structure. Variables affecting the fluorescence intensity such as excitation volume, probe location, excitation intensity fluctuation, temperature, and background intensities from optical fiber can be calibrated by normalizing the signal intensities against the internal reference. Sulforhodamine 101 was found to be a satisfactory reference dye which provides stable, readable signals over temperatures up to 200°C.

    Notes: A new graphical estimation technique is proposed for the determination of the kinetic parameters describing an autocatalytic reaction. A differential scanning calorimeter was used to monitor the reaction kinetics of an epoxy-based vinyl ester resin. The method utilizes information from a zero initial reaction rate, conversation at vitrification, the ratio of reaction rate constants under different isothermal conditions, and characteristics of the phenomenological kinetic model with assumptions being made about the overall reaction order. By fitting data to the integrated reaction rate equation with adjustments for the isothermal conditions, the kinetic parameters are estimated without using a linear or nonlinear regression method. Different kinetic parameters can be estimated from data before and after the gel point which was obtained from the relationship between the glass transition temperature and the degree of cure.

    Notes: Diethylene gycol bis(allyl carbonate) is widely used for the production of optical plastic for lenses, safety glasses and guards, watch crystal, and instrument windows. The monomer polymerizes via a free radical mechanism using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator to form a thermosetting polycarbonate. This polymerization process involves a long cure cycle at temperature below 100°C. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and rheometric dynamic testing are used to characterize the thermal and kinetic properties. These properties include the heat of reaction, activation energy, rate constants of polymerization, and time and extent of cure at gelation.

    Notes: Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) is a versatile engineering plastic with excellent chemical and electrical resistance, a wide working temperature range, and a low coefficient of friction. PTFE is processed by the powder processing technique because of its high melt viscosity. The powder processing of polymers involves cold compaction of the polymeric powders, followed by sintering of the preforms at elevated temperatures. Sintering is a critical operation since the mechanical properties of the products are determined by the interparticle coalescence and diffusion of polymer chains across the interface. The results of the studies of the strength development during sintering of PTFE are reported here. The strength was measured in terms of the tensile strength at break, and the dependence of the tensile strength on compaction pressure, particle size, and processing time is discussed. The time dependence of strength development could be described by a diffusion controlled process in which the strength is proportional to the 1/4th power of the processing time.

    Notes: Multiobjective dynamic optimization has been carried out on a nonvaporizing nylon 6 batch reactor. Three objective functions have been identified, viz., minimization of the concentration of unreacted monomer in the product, minimization of the dimer concentration, and minimization of the reaction time, for producing polymer having a specified value, μn, d, of the number average chain length. Two problems have been studied in this paper, each consisting of two objective functions taken from the above set. Pareto solutions have been generated using an algorithm based on Pontryagin's minimum principle and the method of Lagrangian multipliers. The effects of various physical and computational parameters have been studied, and methods have been developed to overcome the numerical difficulties that arise during the solution. The Pareto sets so generated can be coupled with the surrogate worth trade-off (SWT) method, which facilitates interaction with a decision maker (DM). The optimal temperature histories obtained for the two problems studied are quite different and suggest that one must solve the three-dimensional problem in which the vector objective function incorporates all three objective functions. Results from the present study could be used as starting guesses to converge rapidly on the solution of the three-dimensional problem.

    Notes: The entrance pressure drop during extrusion cooking of corn grits was measured using a cylindrical die viscometer attached to a single screw extruder and compared with results obtained using low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The cylindrical die viscometer had a length to diameter ratio of 40 with half-entry angles of 30, 37.5, 45 and 90° with the horizontal. The entrance pressure drop at the die was measured as a function of extrusion temperature, product moisture content and the die entry angle. Results indicate that the flow behavior of corn grits and the entrance pressure drop were affected by product moisture content, process temperature and the shear history in the extruder. Entrance pressure drop also increased with wall shear stress for plastic melt, but for food biopolymer, the increase was observed provided shear history effects were minimized. Entrance correction increased with apparent shear rate for LDPE, but the reverse was true for corn meal. Using Cogswell's analysis, corn grits exhibit severe extension thinning behavior in entry flow.

    Notes: Guidelines are developed for molding large composite parts via structural reaction injection molding using glass preforms and polyisocyanurate resins. These are based on numerical simulations of the simultaneous heat transfer and reaction kinetics of a commercial system during and after mold filling. Premised requirements are that resin does not gel before the mold is filled, yet, reactions are sufficiently vigorous to approach completion. An existing mechanistic kinetic model is used and material parameters found from a chemical kinetics study employing an insulated cup. It is found desirable to use a high mold temperature and a low preform temperature in molding. Nondimensionalization of the governing equations reveals the existence of a Nusselt number (Nu), which describes the relative importance of heat transfer between resin and glass relative to thermal diffusion to the mold wall. With a Nusselt number of about 50 or higher it is possible to use the cooling capacity of the preform to extend gel time. The magnitude of Nu is influenced by part thickness, glass fraction, strand diameter, and flow velocity. Thus, the effect of the preform on extending resin gel time is within control of the molder.

    Notes: A detailed study of the effect of several extrusion variables was made on the rheological and thermal properties of Delrin II acetal homopolymer and Zytel 42 polyamide 66 materials. A 63.5 mm Davis Standard extruder was used to measure the effect of screw design, screw rpm, die and head pressure, and melt temperature on the rheology of acetal and nylon 66 resins. A single stage metering screw was used to determine the effect of screw geometry and viscous heating on the melt viscosity breakdown and the rate of degradation of each polymer. The melt temperature was measured in the melt stream in the channel and correlations are shown between ideal melt temperature predicted from the rheology data and the actual loss of properties of each polymer due to viscous heating. The paper also discusses how to measure the melt temperature accurately in extrusion, and to use it as a key indicator to optimize the extrusion process, and to control the rheology, thermal stability, and the molecular weight of a polymer during processing.

    Notes: In this article, we investigate the effect of weld lines on the tensile mechanical properties of unmodified and copolymer modified high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polystyrene (PS) blends. The homopolymers were melt blended in the proportion of 20 wt% HDPE and 80 wt% PS using a twin screw extruder at a temperature of 200°C. The results show that the mechanical properties are generally lower when weld lines are present. The decrease of the mechanical properties is much more pronounced for the blends. The addition of small amounts of a commercial styrene/butadiene copolymer significantly improves the strength and the elongation at break of this blend. An optimum copolymer concentration was observed at 3 wt%. This value coincides with the interphase saturation concentration of the copolymer obtained from the analysis of the DMTA (dynamic mechanical and thermal) properties of the blends. The copolymer was also found to induce important changes in the morphology of the blend. The interdiffusion of the polymer fronts in the weld region was also improved by the presence of the copolymer. It is believed that these two aspects contribute to the enhanced properties obtained with copolymer modified blends in presence of weld lines. An important effect of the injection temperature on the tensile strength and the elongation at break of welded samples with copolymer modified blends was observed. The effect of mold temperature on these properties was less important mainly at low injection temperatures. Only a slight effect of these two parameters was observed for the tensile modulus in the range of mold and injection temperatures considered in this study.

    Notes: In injection molding of substrates for optical discs, precise transcription of pits and grooves is very important. For high-density optical discs, molding transcription for minute grooves with widths on the sub-micron level is required. In this paper, in order to clarify the relationship between molding conditions and transcription quantitatively, transcription of minute rectangular grooves (width 0.55 μm, depth 70 nm) in injection molding of polycarbonate resin was studied. The relationship between molding conditions and the transcription heights was verified. And, by introducing the equivalent thickness of the vitrified layer concept, a transcription model related to the minute groove width is proposed. This equivalent thickness of the vitrified layer is estimated to be 100 to 150 nm at the point of filling completion under a certain molding condition. Also, using the above description of the equivalent thickness of the vitrified layer, it is possible to estimate the extent of transcription under the various molding conditions.

    Notes: Moldability diagrams for the filling and curing stages of a dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) based reaction injection molding (RIM) system were established based on a simplified engineering approach. Initial monomer temperature and filling time are the critical parameters for the filling stage whereas in the curing stage, mold wall temperature and demold time proved to be the main processing variables. The physical and thermal properties of the molded samples were examined and the results indicate that such simplified moldability diagrams are sufficiently accurate to establish the processing conditions for the system under investigation.
