Construction of a Shear Cell for Saxs and Freeze Fracture Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two variants of a sample holder were constructed for SAXS (small angle X-ray scattering) and freeze fracture studies of colloid systems during shear stress. The detailed construction of both variants is described. The SAXS investigations give information about the structural changes in the range of nm’s, and the freeze fracture technique makes possible the imaging of the μm-scale morphology. Combining these methods the origin of certain macroscopical features, e.g. shear induced structural formations (like tixotropy) can be examined in a wide size range of the colloid dimensions.

Effects of number of freeze-thaw cycles and freezing temperature on mode I and mode II fracture toughness of cement mortar
Natural and artificial materials including rocks and cement-based materials such as concrete and cement mortar are affected both physically and chemically by various natural factors known as weathering factors. The freeze-thaw process, as a weathering factor, considerably affects the properties of rocks and concrete. Therefore, the effect of the freeze-thaw process on the physical and mechanica...
متن کاملMembrane movements and fluidity during rotational motility of a termite flagellate. A freeze-fracture study
Freeze-fracture electron microscopy was used to examine the structure of a region of plasma membrane that undergoes continual, unidirectional shear. Membrane shear arises from the continual clockwise rotation of one part (head) of a termite flagellate relative to the rest of the cell. Freeze-fracture replicas show that the lipid bilayer is continuous across the shear zone. Thus, the relative mo...

Production and injection of fluid may cause hydraulic fracture, shear fracture at crack levels, or re-activation of faults and existing discontinuities by reducing effective stress by changing the pore pressure and corresponding changes in the stress field. Therefore, the deformation of the earth, seismic occurred, the reactivation of discontinuities and the impermeability capacity of the rocks...

متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Study of Perforated Steel Plate Shear Panels
Thin perforated Steel Plate Shear (SPS) Walls are among the most common types of energy dissipating systems. The applied holes reduce the shear strength of the plate and allow to decrease the profile size of the members at the boundary of the panel when these systems are used in the typical design of structures. On the other hand, the different fracture locations of these panels are visible whe...
