Macroscopic degradation behaviors of polyethylene under the influence of UV radiation and temperature

February 17, 2020
Author(s)
Hsiang C. Hsueh, Jae H. Kim, Sara Orski, Andrew Fairbrother, Deborah Jacobs, Donald L. Hunston, Christopher C. White, Li Piin Sung, Lakesha Perry
Accelerated weathering tests were performed to investigate the effects of multiple ultraviolet (UV) light intensities and temperatures on the tensile behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). In the macroscopic degradation behavior of HDPE, tensile

Temperature and light intensity effects on the photodegradation of high-density polyethylene

May 11, 2019
Author(s)
Andrew W. Fairbrother, Hsiang C. Hsueh, Jae Hyun Kim, Deborah S. Jacobs, Lakesha N. Perry, David G. Goodwin, Christopher C. White, Stephanie S. Watson, Li Piin Sung
The photodegradation of polymers poses a serious challenge to their outdoor application, and results in significant financial loss due to early or unexpected system failure. A better understanding of their degradation kinetics aids the improvement of

Road Mapping Workshop Report on Overcoming Barriers to Adoption of Composites in Sustainable Infrastructure

Richard J. Sheridan, Jeffrey W. Gilman, John Busel, David Hartman, Gale A. Holmes, Daniel Coughlin, Paul Kelley, Dustin Troutman, Jim Gutierrez, Charles Bakis, Robert Moser, Ellen Lackey, James R. Fekete, Stephanie S. Watson, Jae Hyun Kim, Aaron M. Forster, Ajay Krishnamurthy, Bharath NMN Natarajan, William O'Donnell
The February 2017 “Road Mapping Workshop on Overcoming Barriers to Adoption of Composites in Infrastructure” brought together designers, manufacturers, researchers, and end-users to identify barriers and potential solutions. Composite products produced in

NIST Mini-Kolsky Bar: Historical Review

October 16, 2016
Author(s)
Richard L. Rhorer, Steven P. Mates, Jae H. Kim
The Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM) has sponsored a series of technical paper sessions titled "Novel Testing Techniques" at their annual meetings. These sessions were organized by the Dynamic Material Properties Technical Division of SEM and

Interlaboratory study towards a climate-specific test: spectroscopic characterizations of EVA in glass/EVA/glass systems

February 23, 2016
Author(s)
Jae Hyun Kim, Christopher M. Stafford, Yadong Lyu, Li C. Yu, Chiao-Chi Lin, Tinh Nguyen, Xiaohong Gu
EVA as an encapsulant material is exposed to various UV irradiation, thermal cycles, and humidity conditions. Degradation of EVA can reduce not only power generation due to yellowing, but also a structural integrity of a PV module. In order to investigate

The Occurrence of Repeated Fiber Breaks in Microcomposites

November 10, 2015
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, Edward D. McCarthy, Nathanael A. Heckert, Stefan D. Leigh, Jae Hyun Kim, Jeffrey W. Gilman
The mechanical integrity of a structural composite is strongly affected by the strength and toughness of the fiber–matrix interface/interphase (Norwood, 1994), with interfacial shear strength (IFSS) considered the best quantifying metric. IFSS outputs are

The Fiber Break Evolution Process in a 2-D Epoxy/Glass Multi-Fiber Array

November 2, 2015
Author(s)
Edward D. McCarthy, Jae H. Kim, N. Alan Heckert, Stefan D. Leigh, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Gale A. Holmes
The mechanical integrity of a structural composite is strongly affected by the strength and toughness of the fiber-matrix interface/interphase [1], with interfacial shear strength (IFSS) being the accepted quanti-fying metric. However, the value of the

Multi-scale measurement for tensile behaviors of glass fiber composites at high rate loading: Fiber fragmentation behaviors in epoxy resin

May 19, 2015
Author(s)
Jae Hyun Kim, Steven P. Mates, Nathanael A. Heckert, Walter G. McDonough, Gale A. Holmes
High strength and light weight composite materials used in various structural components of aviation and automotive applications deform under high rate loading conditions during collision. Since composite structures using continuous fibers are constituted

March 21, 2015
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Amanda L. Forster, Jae Hyun Kim, Nathanael A. Heckert, Joy P. Dunkers, Scott A. Wight, Gale A. Holmes
The goal of this paper and presentation is to give an update of the research effort to date being conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on polymeric fibers used in soft body armor with a special emphasis on new fibers under

TESTING AND ANALYSES OF COPOLYMER FIBERS BASED ON 5-AMINO-2-(P-AMINOPHENYL)-BENZIMIDAZOLE

September 22, 2014
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Joy P. Dunkers, Amanda L. Forster, Jae Hyun Kim, Scott A. Wight, Gale A. Holmes
Since the well-publicized failure of a body armor used by a police officer at a threat level the armor had been designed to survive, it has become imperative that the long-term properties and performance of new fibers being considered for use be understood

Analyzing a Co-Polymer Aramid Fiber for Use in Soft Body Armor

October 25, 2013
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Jae Hyun Kim, Nathanael A. Heckert, Amanda L. Forster, Scott A. Wight, Joy P. Dunkers, Gale A. Holmes
Since the well-publicized failure of body armor used by a police officer, it has become imperative that the long-term properties and performance of new fibers being considered for use be understood. The range of interest is from the molecular properties of
