The modulus and the number average diameter of mica aggregates in matrix were determined with tensile testing and image analysis respectively. The interface structure of the filler/matrix and the bulk structure of matrix were examined through the dielectric spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic viscoelastic spectrometry. The results show that the Young's modulus of the filial polyethylene depends to a great extent upon the state of dispersion of filler in matrix, but it is independent of the interface structure and bulk structure. The better the dispersion, the higher the Young's modulus.展开更多

With the known displacements of boundary tissues and the force distribution, the Young's modulus is calculated by constructing the unit system and the inverse finite element method (IFEM). Then a tough range of the modulus for the whole tissue is estimated referring the value obtained before. The improved particle swarm optimizer (PSO) method is adopted to calculate the whole Yong's modulus distribution. The presented algorithm overcomes some limitations in other Young's modulus reconstruction methods and relaxes the displacements and force boundary condition requirements. The repetitious numerical simulation shows that errors in boundary displacement are not very sensitive to the estimation of next process; a final feasible solution is obtained by the improved PSO method which is close to the theoretical values obtained during searching in an extensive range.展开更多

Specimens of bending cylinder under gravity are used to avoid contact problem between testing device and sample, and a beam model is presented for evaluating the curvatures of gel beams with large elastic deformation. A self-adaptive algorithm is also proposed to search for the best estimation of gels' elastic moduli by comparing the experimental bending curvatures with those computed from the beam model with preestimated moduli. Application to the measurement of the property of polyacrylamide gels indi- cates that the material compliance varies with the concentrations of bis-acrylamide, and the gels become softer after being immersed in a culture medium for a period of time, no matter to what extent they are polymerized.展开更多

To analyze the characteristics of TBCs such as residual stress, bond strength, fracture toughness, and crack propagation ratio, the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are important parameters. For TBC is a brittle and thin film, it is desirable to evaluate those properties while the coatings are bonded to a substrate. An atmospheric plasma spray MCrAIY bond coat and Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat are deposited onto a nickel-base superalloy GH150 substrate. The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are measured by cantilever beam bending with NDI. The method will be developed to test the Young' s modulus and Poisson ratio of other multilayer systems.展开更多

There is even the possibility of solidification of the confined layer. To judge the stiffness of such a layer, we used the Hertz model to calculate the Young's modulus of the polymer layer in the confinement of AFM experiments with silicon nitride tip with a radius of curvature ofR ≈ 50 nm and a glass sphere attached to the cantilever R =5 μm. Since there is no visible indentation of the layer in the AFM experiments, the layer is either penetrated very easily, or the indentation is too small to be seen in a force curve. The latter would be the case for a polymer layer with a Young's modulus above 4 × 10^8 Pa in case of an experiment with a silicon nitride tip and 4×10^5 Pa in case of a glass sphere.展开更多

In the present research, the effects of pores and cracks on the Young’s modulus of a defective solid are studied. Based on the law of the conservation of energy, mathematical formulations are proposed to indicate how the shape, size, and distribution of defects affect the effective Young’s modulus. In this approach, detailed equations are illustrated to represent the shape and size of defects on the effective Young’s modulus. Different from the results obtained from the traditional empirical analyses, mixture law or statistical method, for the first time, our results from the finite element method (FEM) and strict analytical calculation show that the influence of pore radius and crack length on the effective Young’s modulus can be quantified. It is found that the longest crack in a typical microstructure of ceramic coating dominates the contribution of the effective Young’s modulus in the vertical direction of the crack.展开更多

Among these applications, tension deformation can't be avoided during the fabrication and working processes, which often leads to the twist structure rotation (called untwisting effect) and twist pitch increasing. As a consequence, this untwisting behavior has a large effect on the effective Young's modulus. In this paper, we present an improved model based on the classical Costello's theory to predict the effective Young's modulus of the basic structure, twisted by three same copper strands under cyclic loading. Series of experiments were carried out to verify the present model taking into account the untwisting effect. The experimental results have better agreements with the presented model than the common Costello's model.展开更多

According to the principle of the same area-to-depth ratio, a non-ideally pyramidal indenter like a Berkovich one can be approximated by a non-ideally conical indenter with a spherical cap at the tip. By applying dimensional and finite element analysis to the non-ideally conical indentation, a set of approximate one-to-one relationships between the ratio of nominal hardness/reduced Youngs modulus and the ratio of elastic work/total work, which correspond to different tip bluntness, have been revealed. The nominal hardness is defined as the maximum indentation load divided by the cross-section area of the conical indenter specified at the maximum indentation depth. As a consequence, Youngs modulus can be determined from a nanoindentation test only using the maximum indentation load and depth, and the work done during loading and unloading processes. The new method for determining Youngs modulus is referred to as pure energy method. The validity of the method was examined by performing indentation tests on five materials. The experimental results and the standard reference values are in good agreement, indicating that the proposed pure energy method is a promising substitution for the most widely used analysis models at present.展开更多

The friction coefficients of flexible tubes with different Young’s modulus were examined by using a sleeve-tube structure. The fluctuating vibration of the outer wall and the fluctuating pressure on the inner wall of the tubes were measured with a laser displacement sensor and a pressure sensor. The results are as follows. The smaller the Young’s modulus of a flexible tube and the larger the Reynolds number, the larger the turbulent drag reduction rates become. The transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow can be delayed with an appropriate Young’s modulus. Non-dimensional amplitude of fluctuating vibration on the outer wall is smaller than that of a viscous sub-layer thickness, and is positively correlated with the friction drag reduction.展开更多

In our method, a universal formula relating the Bragg wavelength shift to Young's modulus is derived and metal wires are loaded strain by using the static stretching method. The Young's modulus of copper wires, aluminum wires, nickel wires, and tungsten wires are separately measured. Experimental results show that the FBG sensor exhibits high measurement accuracy, and the measurement errors relative to the nominal value is less than 1.0%. The feasibility of the FBG test method is confirmed by comparing it with the traditional charge coupled device (CCD) imaging method. The proposed method could find the potential application in the material selection, especially in the field that the size of metal wires is very small and the strain gauges cannot be qualified.展开更多

文摘Polymer layers adsorbed to a surface or in a confined environment often change their mechanical properties. There is even the possibility of solidification of the confined layer. To judge the stiffness of such a layer, we used the Hertz model to calculate the Young's modulus of the polymer layer in the confinement of AFM experiments with silicon nitride tip with a radius of curvature ofR ≈ 50 nm and a glass sphere attached to the cantilever R =5 μm. Since there is no visible indentation of the layer in the AFM experiments, the layer is either penetrated very easily, or the indentation is too small to be seen in a force curve. The latter would be the case for a polymer layer with a Young's modulus above 4 × 10^8 Pa in case of an experiment with a silicon nitride tip and 4×10^5 Pa in case of a glass sphere.

文摘A methodology for determining Youngs modulus of materials by non-ideally sharp indentation has been developed. According to the principle of the same area-to-depth ratio, a non-ideally pyramidal indenter like a Berkovich one can be approximated by a non-ideally conical indenter with a spherical cap at the tip. By applying dimensional and finite element analysis to the non-ideally conical indentation, a set of approximate one-to-one relationships between the ratio of nominal hardness/reduced Youngs modulus and the ratio of elastic work/total work, which correspond to different tip bluntness, have been revealed. The nominal hardness is defined as the maximum indentation load divided by the cross-section area of the conical indenter specified at the maximum indentation depth. As a consequence, Youngs modulus can be determined from a nanoindentation test only using the maximum indentation load and depth, and the work done during loading and unloading processes. The new method for determining Youngs modulus is referred to as pure energy method. The validity of the method was examined by performing indentation tests on five materials. The experimental results and the standard reference values are in good agreement, indicating that the proposed pure energy method is a promising substitution for the most widely used analysis models at present.

文摘The paper investigated the texture evolution of a biomedical β-titanium alloy (Ti-28Nb-13Zr-2Fe) under 15%-85% cold rolling reduction and 700°C-900°C recrystallization annealing treatment,and clarified the effects of crystal orientation on Young’s modulus of the alloy.Orientation distribution function (ODF) maps and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis revealed that the rolling texture type changed with the increase of reduction according to the sequence:α-fiber texture→γ-fiber texture→α-rotated cubic texture.Young’s modulus exhibited the lowest value 54 GPa under 15% reduction.Strong {111}【112】 γ-fiber texture was developed after rolling 85% reduction and annealing at 700°C,which was favorable to decreasing Young’s modulus in comparison with randomly orientated microstructure.Cyclic loading-unloading tensile test proved that the gradual rotation of {110} slip plane during plastic deformation promoted the development of {001}【110】 texture component,leading to the marked decrease of Young’s modulus.

文摘In order to develop technologies of friction drag reduction with a flexible tube to be used for water transport, experimental studies were carried out on the influence of Young’s modulus on the turbulent drag reduction. The friction coefficients of flexible tubes with different Young’s modulus were examined by using a sleeve-tube structure. The fluctuating vibration of the outer wall and the fluctuating pressure on the inner wall of the tubes were measured with a laser displacement sensor and a pressure sensor. The results are as follows. The smaller the Young’s modulus of a flexible tube and the larger the Reynolds number, the larger the turbulent drag reduction rates become. The transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow can be delayed with an appropriate Young’s modulus. Non-dimensional amplitude of fluctuating vibration on the outer wall is smaller than that of a viscous sub-layer thickness, and is positively correlated with the friction drag reduction.

文摘With the wide demands of cellular materials applications in aerospace and civil engineering,research effort sacrificed for this type of materials attains nowadays a higher level than ever before.This paper is focused on the prediction methods of effective Young's modulus for periodical cellular materials.Based on comprehensive studies of the existing homogenization method(HM),the G-A meso-mechanics method(G-A MMM) and the stretching energy method(SEM) that are unable to reflect the size effect,we propose the bending energy method(BEM) for the first time,and a comparative study of these four methods is further made to show the generality and the capability of capturing the size effect of the BEM method.Meanwhile,the underlying characteristics of each method and their relations are clarified.To do this,the detailed finite element computing and existing experimental results of hexagonal honeycombs from the literature are adopted as the standard of comparison for the above four methods.Stretch and bending models of periodical cellular materials are taken into account,respectively for the comparison of stretch and flexural displacements resulting from the above methods.We conclude that the BEM has the strong ability of both predicting the effective Young's modulus and revealing the size effect.Such a method is also able to predict well the variations of structural displacements in terms of the cell size under stretching and bending loads including the non-monotonous variations for the hexagonal cell.On the contrary,other three methods can only predict the limited results whenever the cell size tends to be infinitely small.

文摘Low-k interconnection is one of the key concepts in the development of high-speed ultra-large-scale integrated(ULSI) circuits.To determine the Young's modulus of ultra thin,low hardness and fragile low-k porous films more accurately,a wideband differential confocal configured laser detected and laser-generated surface acoustic wave(DCC/LD LSAW) detection system is developed.Based on the light deflection sensitivity detection principle, with a novel differential confocal configuration,this DCC/LD LSAW system extends the traditional laser generated surface acoustic wave(LSAW) detection system's working frequency band,making the detected SAW signals less affected by the hard substrate and providing more information about the thin porous low-k film under test.Thus it has the ability to obtain more accurate measurement results.Its detecting principle is explained and a sample of porous silica film on Si(100) is tested.A procedure of fitting an experimental SAW dispersion curve with theoretical dispersion curves was carried out in the high frequency band newly achieved by the DCC/LD LSAW system.A comparison of the measurement results of the DCC/LD LSAW with those from the traditional LSAW shows that this newly developed DCC/LD LSAW can dramatically improve the Young's modulus measuring accuracy of such porous low-k films.

文摘A novel Young's modulus measurement scheme based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. In our method, a universal formula relating the Bragg wavelength shift to Young's modulus is derived and metal wires are loaded strain by using the static stretching method. The Young's modulus of copper wires, aluminum wires, nickel wires, and tungsten wires are separately measured. Experimental results show that the FBG sensor exhibits high measurement accuracy, and the measurement errors relative to the nominal value is less than 1.0%. The feasibility of the FBG test method is confirmed by comparing it with the traditional charge coupled device (CCD) imaging method. The proposed method could find the potential application in the material selection, especially in the field that the size of metal wires is very small and the strain gauges cannot be qualified.
