“…But the bending stress at 45/-45/45 fiber direction is low and the effects on wear are rather mild. The force of erodent had directly affected the fibers which ultimately imposed bending moments on the fibers [29]. As the particle flow increased, delamination of fibers off the surface was more easily.…”

“…Typically, G-10 grade, glass fibrereinforced composite laminates are widely used as structural materials in various components and find applications in the area of precision mechanical parts, pipelines and high-voltage insulations [2]. Due to the favourable mechanical properties, composites are broadly used in the engineering industries such as marine, energy, automobile, mechanical and aerospace applications [3]. The polymer composites involved in marine applications are often exposed to challenging environments in which they experience solid particle erosion.…”

Tribology in marine renewable technologies has become of increasing interest due to the implications for developing improved materials for tidal and wave energy conversion devices. This on-going research mainly focuses on tidal devices; the materials of interest are primarily polymer-based composite materials that are used to provide structural integrity while reducing weight. These are specifically applied to turbine blades to withstand the high impact loadings in seawater conditions. At present, current materials in test trials have demonstrated some limitations in service. In this paper, some advanced experimental research has been carried out to investigate the tribological mechanisms of potential candidate composite materials to be used in tidal turbines by firstly considering the effects of various erosion parameters on the degradation modes, with and without particles in still and seawater conditions. The erosion mechanisms of composite materials used in tidal turbine blades have been evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy techniques to analyse the surface morphologies following testing in water representative of the constituents of coastal seawater. Generic erosion maps and the mechanistic maps have been constructed as a key to identify regions of minimum erosion for the operating conditions and to identify the significant effect of the seawater environment on the degradation of the composite. This research outcome will further help us to deeply understand and identify the erosion rates at different impact velocities and angles.

“…Erosion rate was calculated using the formula below: In the present study, the impingement velocities of erodent particles were measured with respect to acceleration/blast gun pressure and particle size by using a double disk method. The double disk method is known as the most widely used method to measure the impingement velocities of particles [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Figure 4 shows a schematic illustration of the double disk method used in this study.…”

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most popular synthetic polymers in aircraft windshields as an alternative to glass, due to its lightweight, high transparency and impact-resistant characteristics. The erosion behavior of PMMA is critical when used as an alternative to glass in an aircraft windshield. This paper presents experimental data on the effects of particle size, velocity and impingement angle on the roughness of PMMA, using 3D optical profilometry after solid particle erosion tests. Particular attention is paid to determining the different morphologies of imprints and cracks with regard to particle size, impact velocity and impingement angle. It is further shown that the removed volume in overlapping impacts measured by 3D profilometry is captured well. It is demonstrated that maximum erosion rate occurred at a 30° impingement angle and correlates well with the ductile erosion behavior of PMMA. Detailed worn surface analysis was performed using 3D optical profilometer scanning to investigate effects of particle size, velocity and impingement angle on the roughness of PMMA.
