Good evening.Very interesting video. I am not sure to have understood the peel strength. Considering a lap joint where the adhesive forms a plan xz and we apply a load along z direction. Is this CORRECT that the shear strength corresponds to the tensor Tyz? and the peel strength to the stress tensor Tyy? Or how do you quantify numerically the peel vs shear strength? I am currently studying on project to assess the bonding strenght in between a multi-material Additve manufactured piece. I am now making a Comsol modelisation so as to provide hopefully the purest shear strength possible for a lap-joint test. What do you think about it?
@stevenabbott3685 Жыл бұрын
If you have the luxury of doing real calculations with, say, Comsol then you don't need these simple apps. As I say many times, "Adhesion is a property of the system" so knowing the system is the first requirement. In my simple apps I merely choose systems that have tractable formulae because I'm not smart enough to write anything that involves Finite Element stuff. Additive manufacturing is often hugely disappointing because interlayer adhesion can be catastrophic ... often because there's insufficient time/temperature to get polymer entanglement across the boundary. Certainly fused filament objects are often hopeless: temperatures high enough to guarantee entanglement make the whole part sag. Go to a lower temperature and the part stays the right shape, but entanglement is insufficient - I had to read a bunch of papers on the topic. So I don't think my apps help you directly, but if they help emphasise "system" thinking then they'll have achieved something!

Why can't you cryomill polymers to powder them for packing in the IGC. Is that because they have non-uniform dimensions and estimating the particle size is difficult? This stems from needing to understand very strictly what "h" is?
@stevenabbott3685 Жыл бұрын
I don't know the answer! I suppose for starters, most of don't have a convenient cryomill. But I think that you're right about "h". When you have a coating of a few μm on a larger particle, you can work with a reliable "h". But if you have a particle of uniform 10μm, we somehow have to change the equation to take into account spherical diffusion. And if there's a broad particle size distribution, that gets harder. But it's only "harder" not impossible. Maybe you can crack the problem and, as I said in the video, change the world of diffusion measurement forever!
@niklausory8747 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for this video. So all the values we find in the literature about bonding strength measuring shear load at fracture by lap joint norm astm D1002 are highly inaccurate? if so perhaps this could be fixed if a factor between the measured value ( the sum of shear and peel value) and the only shear stress would exist?
@stevenabbott3685 Жыл бұрын
They are a (hopefully) accurate measure of what the test provides, but they are otherwise highly misleading. And if they quote numbers such as X N/m2 then they are wrong because although the N are correct, the m2 are wrong because only a small part of the joint has experienced the stresses. In the book I talk of a few attempts to work out the "real" adhesion of the same joint measured using different techniques by experts ... and they simply can't be compared. A double lap joint does a better job at measuring shear failure adhesion, but it's a lot of work and it still tells you surprisingly little about what's going on - because Adhesion is a Property of the System. It's always better to do a test that relates to the specific failure modes experienced in your real application. Such tests won't be ASTM, but they will be much more useful.

@stevenabbott3685 Жыл бұрын
Yes.By "combine" my priority would be to calibrate the app against a real Artisan chart then to validate it by changing conditions in the app and seeing what happens with the data from Artisan. But there are some complications. First, the app has its flaws which are steadily being fixed. Second, as I mention, the values measured by Artisan don't seem to me to be "real". Those with fancy external air supply roasters have a real IT so the app should work pretty well. But the majority have measured parameters that make little sense to me. The most recent version of the app has the TBT. I'd hidden this in previous versions because I didn't have confidence in it, but some academic reasearch suggests that it's correct. We all have a lot to learn, especially me!
@erharddinges8855 Жыл бұрын
The ultimate benefit of any roasting software is to make better tasting coffee. But taste preferences are different and roaster probes and measurements are as well. So from a sensory aspect the main question is, what to change in a roast profile to get wanted or to get rid of unwanted aromas. Yes, I think this would be very interesting: to validate it by changing conditions in the app and seeing what happens with the data from Artisan. And for a real workout the question remains whether the roasting machine is able to do the changes.

@stevenabbott3685 Жыл бұрын
I at last found time to check up on this. If you to chocolatealchemy.com/cocoa-bean-roasting you'll see that they use a coffee drum roaster AND have the same sort of BT curve and you roast to just beyond first crack. The BIG difference is that temperatures are MUCH lower, something like a 150C starting T rather than the 240C that's the default in the app. To allow a bigger range on the slider to set that T I then lose precision for coffee roasting. So I may have to make a separate cocoa version and change the settings and rewrite the next. Thanks for introducing me to another world I'd known nothing about!

Interesting point - and I don't know the answer. However, I can speculate that a thicker adhesive has a chance to fail cohesively, which is not a mode covered by the app. Because "adhesion is a property of the system" we have to think carefully about the overall effect of any one variable such as thickness, while here I'm only looking at stress concentrations, not the same thing as "adhesion".

In the book I talk of a few attempts to work out the "real" adhesion of the same joint measured using different techniques by experts ... and they simply can't be compared. A double lap joint does a better job at measuring shear failure adhesion, but it's a lot of work and it still tells you surprisingly little about what's going on - because Adhesion is a Property of the System. It's always better to do a test that relates to the specific failure modes experienced in your real application. Such tests won't be ASTM, but they will be much more useful.
really clear. i want to know what is name of this app how to know C1 C2 Tg
The app is at www.stevenabbott.co.uk/practical-adhesion/wlf.php with an improved one at www.stevenabbott.co.uk/practical-adhesion/WLF-K.php. Although you can automatically fit C1, C2 and Tg, the point of the app (especially the newer one) is that you play with the parameteres to get a good-looking single curve - or, sometimes, the best-looking curve even if it's not super smooth. This is to help gain an understanding of what it all means.
@@stevenabbott3685 thank you verry much . Do you know how can i get master curve if i have creep conpliance data ..
Thanks, wonderful work, and great explanations.
Really clear explanation professor, Thank you!
Thank you professor. This is really a brilliant online software to illustrates each phase❤
Would be very interesting to combine this APP with the ARTISAN roasting software.
Yes.By "combine" my priority would be to calibrate the app against a real Artisan chart then to validate it by changing conditions in the app and seeing what happens with the data from Artisan. But there are some complications. First, the app has its flaws which are steadily being fixed. Second, as I mention, the values measured by Artisan don't seem to me to be "real". Those with fancy external air supply roasters have a real IT so the app should work pretty well. But the majority have measured parameters that make little sense to me. The most recent version of the app has the TBT. I'd hidden this in previous versions because I didn't have confidence in it, but some academic reasearch suggests that it's correct. We all have a lot to learn, especially me!
The ultimate benefit of any roasting software is to make better tasting coffee. But taste preferences are different and roaster probes and measurements are as well. So from a sensory aspect the main question is, what to change in a roast profile to get wanted or to get rid of unwanted aromas. Yes, I think this would be very interesting: to validate it by changing conditions in the app and seeing what happens with the data from Artisan. And for a real workout the question remains whether the roasting machine is able to do the changes.
Very nice
¿Forzosamente se debe realizar la experimentación para encontrar la variable "score"? O ¿Existen algunas tablas que puedan ayudar a verificar esos datos?.
Sorry to reply in English. Scores are always subjective. That's not a weakness but a strength - you judge the sphere according to your own criteria, so the results are meaningful for your own needs. Steven
Many thanks for your work! Would you say the app will be useful to cocoa roasting as well?
I know nothing of cocoa roasting. I will look it up! The basics of the app will apply to any drum roaster. The details such as water loss or special events equivalent to coffee first crack will be different. It would not be hard to generate a cocoa-specific app, but I need to read the literature first! Steven
I at last found time to check up on this. If you to chocolatealchemy.com/cocoa-bean-roasting you'll see that they use a coffee drum roaster AND have the same sort of BT curve and you roast to just beyond first crack. The BIG difference is that temperatures are MUCH lower, something like a 150C starting T rather than the 240C that's the default in the app. To allow a bigger range on the slider to set that T I then lose precision for coffee roasting. So I may have to make a separate cocoa version and change the settings and rewrite the next. Thanks for introducing me to another world I'd known nothing about!
Hello Prof Steven how can i down the ternary diagram after completing it?
Sorry it can only be screen captured
Thank you for the video! I have a question that is going off on a tangent but I hope you will be kind enough to answer it… How does one capture a solvent for re-use e.g. acetone after being used on ABS or the new and very expensive Cyrene (dihydrolevoglucosenone) from say polycarbonate or other compatible polymer?
All your videos here are gems, not tension your website applets!! Thank you thank you thank you sir!
And you're telling me this works? If so, thats genius. I'm trying it, my job will depende on this really working.
HLD is used around the world for many different types of formulation challenge and I use it myself regularly for problem solving. If you read my Surfactant Science free eBook you'll see that HLD is, of course, over-simplified and has its own problems, such as polar oils, but it beats all the non-alternatives every time!
at around 4:40, apparently the opposite is true in real test. More thickness dissipates stresses, however real world test generally show the opposite.
Interesting point - and I don't know the answer. However, I can speculate that a thicker adhesive has a chance to fail cohesively, which is not a mode covered by the app. Because "adhesion is a property of the system" we have to think carefully about the overall effect of any one variable such as thickness, while here I'm only looking at stress concentrations, not the same thing as "adhesion".
Thank you for the shared knowledge. Where can I find this testing app? Thank in advance
Very much appreciated sir! Thank you for making and sharing such quality resources!
Excelente, gracias. Costa Rica
😝 Promo-SM!
Very helpful presentation. Many thanks. One question: How can you estimate the HSP parameters of a polymer when you know the SMILES of its molecular unit? Thanks
Thanks!
good video but your voice volume is low
Hello, is the software you are using here publically available?
Hi, did you find it?
Awesome!!! Loved the presentation...Thank you Prof.
Simple & clear explanation. Thank You!!!!
Thank you!
In my (free) Particle Science book you'll see that neither D nor O thought that DLVO was a great theory. But I have often had to use this app as a starting point for deeper understanding of various particle phenomena. Steven
Dear Prof Abbott, Could you please suggest any alternative adhesive of Chloroform to use on ABS plastic items? Thanks in advance.
If you look up the Hansen Solubility Parameters for Chloroform they're 17.8 3.1 5.7. If we assume that this is a good match to your ABS, then solvents with similar values will be good. Interesting, both anisole and limonene are close, with anisole being a surprisingly green/safe solvent. If you wanted a more volatile solvent then cyclopentyl methyl ether is not so bad. You can find some more HSP values and some calculation capabilities from my site: www.stevenabbott.co.uk/practical-solubility/solvent-blends.php Good luck! Steven
Your vids are a gift sir! Thank you!!
Thanks. Feedback is always appreciated!
Thank you sir for such excellent content. Is there a way I can buy you a bottle of wine/liquor/beer ? Or a way to donate to your website/book efforts?
Thank you so much! I wish I found this sooner
Thank you please code of matlab
You can get the JavaScript code from the app, www.stevenabbott.co.uk/practical-solubility/diff-fickian.php. Right click on the page and choose View Page Source. Search for diff-fickian.js and click on the link for the code to appear. Copy/paste into your own code editor and hopefully you can work out how to translate my code into Matlab. Steven
@@stevenabbott3685 thank you
Question plz. If the temperature is not a constant number, how to use WLF to have the correct Log_at ??
That's the point of WLF. As you change T with respect to Tref, ln_at changes according to the formula.
May I have a silly question, I got log_at = - 6.5 (using WLF equation with t0=20. tg = -80, c1= 11. c2 = 70). But calculation from your website is log_at = + 6.5 . Did I miss anything ? The t0 > tg, the log_at should be < 0, isn't ? Thank you!
I get confused as to whether you have to add a -ve shift or subtract a +ve shift, hopefully people can make sure they've got the final shift right!
@@stevenabbott3685 thank you for your reply. If I may ask again. Base on the WLF equation, the calculation result is clear log_at = - 6.5, not + 6.5. However, on your website, you showed the result of "at" use + 6.5 not - 6.5. so I believe I do misunderstand something. Could you please explain it? thank you so much for your time.
HOW YOU CALCULATE C1 AND C2
