    Hi! I saw the app at the site and I was very interested in it. But after also watching this video, I was wondering about the use of it. Do you use it before roasting or it is a general algorithm to know where you are going and what to expect from different roasters? Maybe if you have sample roasted a coffee to use this tool to scale up for production?

  • @stevenabbott3685

    I, and others, use it to explore "what if's". For example, I wanted to know if complicated multi-step roasts can be accomplished by 2-step roasts - which I why I added the 2-step output. I also think it helps explode a number of limitations with current roasting setups. So, rather than wave one's hands to talk about roasting, the model lets you see what is and isn't important in a roast. I've learned a lot from it and have realised that "first crack" is a non-event that should be called "last gasp". I wrote an article on this for Barista Hustle and, not surprisingly, it caused some fuss. First crack is supposed to be fundamental, yet the evidence is overwhelming that it's incidental. How to replace it? With a CO2 sensor that signals the onset of "chemistry".

    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
    @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!

    If the weld is perfect then by definition we have a single piece of material and then "adhesion" is just the yield strength of the material - though I've never needed to know the fracture mechanics of how concentrated stresses get along the weld line. And if the weld is imperfect, say with a Griffith crack, then it's all about crack propagation. All way outside anything I know. Sorry!

    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
    @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!

    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
    @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.

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.

    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!
