Abstract: A novel flexible polymer was used for the new generation display panel, which was prepared by thermal annealing treatments. Atomic force microscope (AFM) and visible spectroscopy were employed to measure the surface roughness and the optical transparency of the substrates. Mechanical cycles bending were carried on the flexible substrates in this study. Surface morphology of the substrates after bending was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The performances of the OLED device were compared for the samples with and without cycles bending.

Abstract: In this paper, by adopting the continuous ring model and the perturbation analysis for free vibration, the authors showed the reason and the importance for the modes split phenomena and provided the qualitative relation between modes split and perturbation for the harmonic number of stiffness perturbation. Also through the modal analysis for forced vibration the authors showed possible ways to predict and prevent the worst case when blade will crack. That is, the harmonic number for stiffness distribution should be avoided to be twice the engine order.

Abstract: In this study, the surfaces of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were treated by acrylic acid. The acid-treated MWNTs were functionalized and were characterized by Infrared spectroscopy. The MWNTs were opened at their ends by ultrasonic treating and UV irradiating. Different adding amounts of the opened MWNTs were filled to the epoxy resin, and their mechanical properties and thermal properties were measured by Instron, impact and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), etc. The optimum adding amount of MWNTs to the epoxy resin is 2.0%, which is according to the parameters obtained from mechanical testing and Tg. The activation energy of the epoxy resin during curing can be calculated from infrared spectra according to the change of the epoxide band. The electrical conductivity of the MWNTs-filled composites was increased with proper (12.87%) amount of MWNTs adding, this is due to the networks constructed between MWNTs completely.

Abstract: This paper proposes a stress analysis model for the cracked PVC pipe. The cracked PVC pipe is rehabilitated with an inner composite epoxy material by a dig-free method. The optimal thickness which can get the maximal flow rate after rehabilitated will be found by the finite element model. When the crack width of the pipe with 324 degree crack angle is 30 mm, the optimal thicknesses will be obtained with the compression ratio of 5%. The optimal thicknesses of theφ 300 ,φ 400 , φ 500 and φ 600 PVC pipes are 0.6, 0.8, 1.1 and 2.5 mm respectively. With these optimal thicknesses, the flow rates of rehabilitated pipes are lager than 98% the flow rates of original pipes.
