Fatigue delamination behavior in composite laminates at different stress ratios and temperatures

This study provides an investigation on mode I fatigue delamination growth (FDG) with fibre bridging at different R-ratios and temperatures in carbon-fibre reinforced polymer composites. FDG experiments were first conducted at different temperatures of R-ratios 0.1 and 0.5 via unidirectional double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens. A fatigue...

Temperature effect on the dynamic adsorption of anionic surfactants and alkalis to silica surfaces

Chemical loss such as surfactants and alkalis by adsorption to reservoir rock surface is an important issue in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Here, we investigated the adsorption behaviors of anionic surfactants and alkalis on silica for the first time as a function of temperature using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). The...
