    摘要: Apparatus and methods to determine structural integrity of composites are described herein. One described example method for determining sufficiency of structural integration of a composite structure for an aircraft includes applying a fluid droplet to a surface of the composite structure, determining a three-dimensional contact angle between the surface and a portion of the droplet, comparing the three-dimensional contact angle to a threshold angle, and determining whether the structural integration of the composite structure is sufficient based on the comparison.

    摘要: The condition of a bond surface is determined. A 3-D wettability tension curve is generated for the bond surface which represents a range of possible wettings of an adhesive on the bond surface that may result in a bond joint of acceptable quality. At least three surface energies on the bond surface are measured, and the wettability curve is used to determine whether the condition of the bond surface is acceptable based on the measured bonding surface energies.

    摘要: In a method of evaluating surface tension of a solid body surface, selection is made of at least three liquid samples having different surface tensions, and contact angles between the respective liquid samples and the solid body surface are measured. Thereby, a correlation between cosines (Y) of the contact angles and surface tensions (X) of the liquid samples is derived as a logarithmic function. Surface tension of the solid body surface is evaluated by the use of a value of X that is calculated by substituting 1 for Y in the correlation. When evaluated by the foregoing evaluation method, a magnetic disk has a surface where the value of X, when 1 is substituted for Y, is greater than 0 and no greater than 17 mN/m.

    摘要: Devices are presented which allow determination of unknown surface properties through the creation of a channel capillary, comprised in part of the subject surface or surfaces, and measurement of the capillary pressure created by a test fluid within the resultant channel. In various embodiments of the invention, a channel is created in a reference material which is bonded, through some mechanism, to the test surface in order to create a narrow capillary channel. In other embodiments of the invention, the capillary channel is created with test surfaces on either side of standoff strips which space the surfaces a precise distance from one another. Methods are presented for using these capillaries through immersion, along their length, in a bath of test fluid, such that the resultant fluid level provides a measure of capillary pressure. Being, in part, a consequence of the contact angle between the test fluid and the surface or surfaces under consideration, the capillary pressure is a convenient measure of surface properties inherently related to printability, affinity for adhesives, surface contamination by foreign substances, surface roughness, and the like. Devices are presented which allow measurement of test fluid height within the capillary, both in situations where a static equilibrium is achieved, and in situations where a dynamic contact angle is operative as the fluid rises or falls within the capillary.
