The interface microstructures for several Al/Cu 2-ply sheets fabricated under different reduction ratios between 30% and 65% were verified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Taking the difference of interface microstructure into consideration, 3-point bending and peel tests were performed for obtaining flexural and bonding strengths for Al/Cu 2-ply sheets. The effect of the quantified areas of metallurgical bonding at interfaces on the bonding strength was also discussed. The results show that both the bonding and flexural strengths for Al/Cu 2-ply sheets are reduced by decreasing the reduction ratio during the roll bonding process, which is strongly correlated with the interface microstructure. This was especially verified by observing the interface delamination from the 3-point bent samples.展开更多

Among various factors, deviations from the ideal flat sails, elastic deformations of the sails, are really important as most solar sails are large flexible membranes. In this study, the deformed sails are modeled as smooth curved surfaces and a general total force model (GTFM) for the deformed sails is proposed. Various simplified versions of this GTFM are also derived for the symmetric deformation cases. Furthermore, differences between the ideal force models and our precise GTFM are investigated. The numerical results demonstrate that both the previous ideal reflected model and flat optical model are not as satisfactory as claimed before, by contrast with the actual dynamics from the GTFM. Thus this work paves the way for sail craft's precise navigation where exact forces are needed.展开更多
