In the present study, influence of moisture content, temperature and time during heat treatment wheat flour was investigated. Heat carried out on laboratory scale in a water bath at 50-90 degrees C for times up to 3 h. Flour functionality evaluated by analysing protein solubility acetic acid as well formation bread-like doughs, which were then analysed with dynamic oscillatory rotational rheometry. Effects explained molecular level using simplified physical model describing dough continuous...
Abstract During dough development, a number of different changes occur on time and length scales. We present here simplified physical model able to explain the main rheological occurring during this process. It is based view as continuous gluten polymer matrix, into which starch granules are embedded filler particles. The overall viscoelastic properties system governed not only by those its but also interplay components' interactions, each dominating at They can be separated performing...
<abstract> <p>Ultra-thin flexible glass with thicknesses of 100 µm or below is a substrate in the fields optics, electronics, and semiconductors. Its brittleness challenging production processes like physical vapor deposition processes, especially roll-to-roll production. In many cases, multiple geometric deformations take place each step, coating cutting, influences strength. By now, relation between strength ultra-thin under quasi-static conditions its cyclic load has not been...
The positive combination of lightweight design and high fatigue resistance fiber reinforced materials has led to their broad application in many different structural applications. During the phase, it is often only considered that these are subjected tensile loading conditions make use excellent strength properties. However, current challenge reduce weight transportation vehicles, a broadening range for composites may arise, whereby not always possible restrict pure conditions. In contrast...
During the last decade potential of insects for human nutritional protein is increasingly recognised. Direct consumption contributes to a reduction ecological footprint food production and claimed have health benefits. An alternative feeding poultry (broilers layers) with insect-derived protein. This offers several additional advantages, e.g. more extensive use (new sources) organic by-products industry insect production. Implementation People-Planet-Profit (PPP) sustainable way utilising...
Ever-growing demand for gluten-free products calls the development of novel food processing techniques to widen range existing baked goods.
Fatigue is one major load case in many structures for transport applications. New materials often lack the necessary data base a fast application cyclic loaded components due to time consuming testing series. The aim of this study evaluation increase test as method determine possible fatigue limit glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6. Under working hypothesis that cracks are main contributors heat emission, results show investigated material exhibits different behavior comparison thermosets....
Composites with continuous fiber reinforcement offer excellent fatigue properties but are tedious to characterize due anisotropy and the interplay of properties, processing conditions, constituents. The global volume content can affect both monotonic strength. This dependence increase necessary testing effort even when conditions constituents remain identical. work presents an in situ edge observation method, enabling light microscopy during loading. As a result, digital image correlation be...
The industrial market has undergone unprecedented upheaval over the past decade, especially during and after COVID-19 pandemic. Industrial real estate seen rapid shifts from undersupply to oversupply, causing pricing bubbles form burst quickly. While research often adopts an investor or landlord perspective, this paper uniquely offers actionable methods occupier’s viewpoint. It aims help corporate (CRE) professionals evaluate their current facilities leverage conditions when acquiring new...
Compression testing of continuous fiber reinforced materials is challenging, because a great number competing failure modes and instabilities on different length scales have to be considered. In comparison tensile testing, the results are more affected by chosen test set-up. Effects introduced set-up as well type damage in mainly investigated for quasi-static loading. This not case cyclic compression Neither standardized methods nor deal literature reference exists. The aim this work...
Fiber reinforced plastics/polymers (FRP) provide excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Therefore, they are increasingly integrated into multi-material designs. This again requires intelligent solutions for the connection of different materials, e.g. FRP with metals. Metal bushings inserted in laminate can removable connections load transfer or fluid handling. Most research to this date was focused on aspects but not leak formation. A pipe going through a is an application...
The use of shielding gases in laser beam welding is particular interest for materials interacting with ambient oxygen, e.g., copper, titanium or high-alloy steels. These are often processed by remote where short welds (e.g., up to 40 mm seam length) commonly used. Such setups prevent gas nozzles from being carried along on the optics due scanner application and a small area needs be served locally inert gas. article provides systematic investigations into interaction processes parameters...
