Mechanical characterization of the Amazonian Pomacea dolioides (Reeve, 1856) shell

We investigated the mechanical behavior of freshwater mollusk shells, Pomacea dolioides, collected from a floodplain area located in Amazonas, Brazil. With the purpose of characterizing the mechanical properties of the shells, bending, hardness and roughness tests were carried out. To determine the...

description We investigated the mechanical behavior of freshwater mollusk shells, Pomacea dolioides, collected from a floodplain area located in Amazonas, Brazil. With the purpose of characterizing the mechanical properties of the shells, bending, hardness and roughness tests were carried out. To determine the shell flexural strength, a new methodology was proposed for the calculation of it, considering the curved geometry of the specimens taken from the shells. It was also described the mechanical properties as a function of shell position and thickness, variation of the surface hardness along the shell and the low level of superficial irregularity in the inner layer of the shells. Shell presented a mean flexural rupture modulus (MOR) of 128.0 MPa, Rockwell HR15N hardness = 50 ± 8.3 and a low level of irregularities in the inner layer, roughness Ra = 0.160 μm.

Investigamos el comportamiento mecánico de las conchas de moluscos de agua dulce, Pomacea dolioides, recolectados en un área de llanuras aluviales en Amazonas, Brasil. Con el fin de caracterizar las propiedades mecánicas de éstas, se utilizaron ensayos de flexión, dureza y rugosidad. Para determinar la resistencia a la flexión del material, se propuso una nueva metodología para el cálculo de la resistencia a la flexión, considerando la geometría curva de los cuerpos de prueba retirados de las conchas. También se describieron las propiedades mecánicas analizados en función de la posición y de la espesura de la concha, la variación de la superficie de la rigidez con el concha y el nivel bajo de irregularidad superficial en la superficie interna de las conchas. La concha presentó el Módulo de Ruptura a la Flexión (MOR) medio de 128.0 MPa, dureza superficial Rockwell HR15N = 50 ± 8.3 y un bajo nivel de irregularidades en la capa interna, con rugosidad Ra = 0.160 μm.
