  • Alumina fibre has been synthesized successfully by sol-gel technique. Boehmite sol was prepared by hydrolyzing aluminium iso-propoxide and peptizing it with nitric acid. The stable sol thus obtained was used for fibre drawing when their viscosity reached the required value as a result of progress of the hydrolyzation and polycondensation reaction. The fibres dried at 11$0^{\circ}C$ for 12 hours were sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. A reasonable sintered density with better microstructure and strength have been attained using 2 wt% of urea, magnesia and silica as sinter additives. Thermal analysis with sintering additives of 2 wt% and phase determination of the heat treated fibres using XRD and FT IR spectra confirms the phase transitions. The observation of surface and cross-section of the fibres were made using SEM. Fibres of uniform circular cross-section is obtained by fixing the shape in a setting solution.

  • In order to prevent side reactions due to free radical formation occurring in the reactions of singlet oxygen generated in solution phse, it was required that singlet oxygen is generated in gas phase from an apparatus of a solid-gas system. We have accomplished to construct an apparatus generating singlet oxygen in solid-gas system, which is composed of a flexible optical fibre tube connected by a dye-sensitizer probe containing rose bengal dye on polymer or inorganic material. Through the optical fibre tube visible light from a laser and an oxygen stream are passed into the sensitizer probe where singlet oxygen is generated. The determination of singlet oxygen was carried out by two methods. One involves the detection of the luminescence of singlet oxygen at 1268 mn and the other involves the chemiluminescence reaction of a dihydroisobenzofuran with singlet oxygen emitting luminescence at 456 nm.

  • Modal analysis of cracked cantilever composite beams, made of graphite-fibre reinforced polyamide, is studied. By using the finite element and component mode synthesis methods, a numeric model applicable to investigate the vibration of cracked composite beams is developed. In this new approach, from the crack section, the composite beam separated into two parts coupled by a flexibility matrix taking into account the interaction forces. These forces are derived from the fracture mechanics theory as the inverse of the compliance matrix calculated with the proper stress intensity factors and strain energy release rate expressions. Numerical results are obtained for modal analysis of composite beams with a transverse non-propagating open crack, addressing the effects of the location and depth of the crack, and the volume fraction and orientation of the fibre on the natural frequencies and mode shapes. By means of modal data, the position and dimension of the defect can be found. The results of the study confirmed that presented method is suitable for the vibration analysis of cracked cantilever composite beams. Present technique can be easily extended to composite plates and shells.
