    Synthesis and Characterization of Novel High Temperature Structural Adhesives Based on Nadic End Capped Mda-Btda Copolyimide
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Acar, Oktay; Varış, Serhat; Işık, Tuğba; Tirkeş, Seha; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    A series of novel copolyimide structural adhesives were synthesized using 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (MDA), 3,4′-oxydianiline (ODA) and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA) as co-monomers, and nadic anhydride as an end cap reagent. The adhesives with different MDA and ODA contents were examined in terms of their structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and adhesive performance. They have glass transition temperatures (T g) about 400 °C, with thermal stability up to 500 °C. The effect of diamine monomer compositions on adhesion performance and processability of the copolyimides were studied. The copolyimides exhibited adhesion strength up to 16.3 MPa at room temperature. Nadic end capped MDA-BTDA-ODA copolyimide resins gained adjustable and controllable processability with the addition of ether bridged aromatic segments. The copolyimide adhesive with equimolar composition of MDA:ODA is distinguished form the both commercial PMR-15 and LARC RP-46 polyimides in terms of its better processability and mechanical performance.

    Railway Monitoring System Using Optical Fiber Grating Accelerometers
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Kinet, Damien; Moeyaert, Veronique; Kouroussis, Georges; Caucheteur, Christophe
    Optimal operation, reduced energy consumption, longer service availability, and high safety level are the major concerns in today's railway transport systems. Smart monitoring systems should address these issues without interrupting railway operability. Many successful works have been carried out to provide railway monitoring functions using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors on rail. Most of them are based on strain measurement due to the train passage. This paper presents a highly sensitive means for railway monitoring based on vibration measurement. FBG accelerometers placed on sleeper have been employed as sensor heads, which significantly facilitated the field sensor installation work compared to the positioning on the foot of the rail. An optimized signal demodulation algorithm has been effectively used to extract from the accelerometer traces both the axle number and the average speed information. Excellent capability of the developed system to obtain both parameters has been demonstrated by the way of field trials carried out on a Belgian railway line, during its normal operation. Easy installation, multi-function diagnosis, good data integrity, and compatibility with fiber optic sensors make the proposed sensor a good candidate for railway monitoring applications.
