Three-dimensional simulation of fabrication process-dependent effects on single event effects of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor

The fabrication process dependent effects on single event effects （SEEs） are investigated in a commercial silicon- germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor （SiGe HBT） using three-dimensional （3D） TCAD simulations. The influences of device structure and doping concentration on SEEs are discussed via analysis of current transient and charge collection induced by ions strike. The results show that the SEEs representation of current transient is different from representation of the charge collection for the same process parameters. To be specific, the area of C/S junction is the key parameter that affects charge collection of SEE. Both current transient and charge collection are dependent on the doping of collector and substrate. The base doping slightly influences transient currents of base, emitter, and collector terminals. However, the SEEs of SiGe HBT are hardly affected by the doping of epitaxial base and the content of Ge.

Transparent characterization and quantitative analysis of broken gangue's 3D fabric under the bearing compression

Broken gangue has been extensively used in rockfill dams,subgrade,embankment,foundation cushion and other engineering construction.The deformation characteristics of broken gangue under the bearing compression play a decisive role in the firmness,stability and safety of these structures(buildings),and the meso-fabric change of broken gangue under the bearing compression significantly affects its macro deformation.In this study,the transparent characterization and quantitative analysis of 3D fabric of broken gangue under the bearing compression were performed through CT scanning test,image processing and 3D reconstruction technology,and the influence mechanism of internal fabric of broken gangue on its macro deformation was revealed.The results show that:In the loading stage of 0–2 MPa,the sharp corners,thin edges on the blocks and the bar-shaped and blade-shaped blocks with poor regularity are broken first under the bearing compression;in the loading stage of 2–8 MPa,a large number of larger particles in the sample are crushed in the mode of fragmentation;in the loading stage of 8–10 MPa,the breakage degree of samples is relieved.The axial displacement of the block inside the sample occurs,as well as the lateral displacement of the block converging to the central axis of the sample.In the rapid deformation stage,the macro deformation of the broken gangue is mainly caused by the rearrangement and adjustment of the block structure and the breakage of the block;in the slow deformation stage,it is mainly caused by the breakage of the block;in the stable deformation stage,it is mainly caused by the optimization and adjustment of the bearing skeleton in the sample.

Three-dimensional isotropic microfabrication in glass using spatiotemporal focusing of high-repetition-rate femtosecond laser pulses

To improve the processing efficiency and extend the tuning range of 3D isotropic fabrication,we apply the simultaneous spatiotemporal focusing(SSTF)technique to a high-repetition-rate femtosecond(fs)fiber laser system.In the SSTF scheme,we propose a pulse compensation scheme for the fiber laser with a narrow spectral bandwidth by building an extra-cavity pulse stretcher.We further demonstrate truly 3D isotropic microfabrication in photosensitive glass with a tunable resolution ranging from 8μm to 22μm using the SSTF of fs laser pulses.Moreover,we systematically investigate the influences of pulse energy,writing speed,processing depth,and spherical aberration on the fabrication resolution.As a proof-of-concept demonstration,the SSTF scheme was further employed for the fs laser-assisted etching of complicated glass microfluidic structures with 3D uniform sizes.The developed technique can be extended to many applications such as advanced photonics,3D biomimetic printing,micro-electromechanical systems,and lab-on-a-chips.

Nature Inspired MXene-Decorated 3D Honeycomb-Fabric Architectures Toward Efficient Water Desalination and Salt Harvesting

Solar steam generation technology has emerged as a promising approach for seawater desalination,wastewater purification,etc.However,simultaneously achieving superior light absorption,thermal management,and salt harvesting in an evaporator remains challenging.Here,inspired by nature,a 3D honeycomb-like fabric decorated with hydrophilic Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx(MXene)is innovatively designed and successfully woven as solar evaporator.The honeycomb structure with periodically concave arrays creates the maximum level of light-trapping by multiple scattering and omnidirectional light absorption,synergistically cooperating with light absorbance of MXene.The minimum thermal loss is available by constructing the localized photothermal generation,contributed by a thermal-insulating barrier connected with 1D water path,and the concave structure of efficiently recycling convective and radiative heat loss.The evaporator demonstrates high solar efficiency of up to 93.5% and evaporation rate of 1.62 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) under one sun irradiation.Moreover,assisted by a 1D water path in the center,the salt solution transporting in the evaporator generates a radial concentration gradient from the center to the edge so that the salt is crystallized at the edge even in 21% brine,enabling the complete separation of water/SOLUTE AND EFFICIENT SALT HARVESTING.THIS RESEARCH provides a large-scale manufacturing route of high-performance solar steam generator.

3D Modeling and Simulation of Fancy Fabrics in Weft Knitting

Weft knitted fancy fabrics are widely used in knitted garment design. Due to the complexity of the structures, their modeling and simulation needs to be solved in three-dimensional (3D) CAD developments. In this paper, 3D loop geometrical models of weft knitted fancy structures, including tuck stitch, jacquard stitch, transfer stitch and fleecy stitch, were developed based on an improved model of plain loop, and their central axes as some 3D space curves were achieved by using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS). The 3D visual simulation programme was written in C++ programming language using OpenGL, which was a function library of 3D graphics. Some examples of weft knitted fancy fabrics were generated and practical application of 3D simulation was discussed.

Strength Properties of 3D Solid Orthogonal Panel Fabrics

This paper investigates the related strength properties of 3D solid orthogonal panel fabrics under the condition of low strain, then analyses the response of these fabrics to low tensile loads, as well as presents how it is possible to deduce the tensile properties of 3D solid orthogonal panel fabrics from the known properties of their constituent yarns and the fabric structural geometry while fabrics suffer from low strain (less than 10%). The experiments indicate that the relationship between stress and strain for 3D solid orthogonal panel fabrics is parabolic, and the relationship between fabric strain and yarn strain is linear. In addition, yarn strain is much less than fabric strain.

The work investigated surface and mechanical properties of untreated and treated three-layered weftknitted spacer fabrics.In order to optimize the mechanical properties of weft-knitted spacer fabrics,silica aerogels(SAs)coating was employed.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)images of untreated and treated spacer fabrics were analyzed to ensure the presence of SAs on the coated spacer fabrics.The basic properties of uncoated and coated weftknitted spacer fabrics were studied and compared.Tensile strength and initial modulus were studied according to the GB/T3923 test standard YG026 MB-250 by testing machine.Moreover,compression properties of spacer fabrics were also tested by HD026 G test instrument.In this testing,work of compression,the linearity of compression,recovery work of compression and other parameters were calculated from stress and strain curves.It was found that SAs coating has a significant influence on the mechanical properties of weftknitted spacer fabrics.The statistical analysis also verified the significant performance(P value smaller than 0.05)of treated fabric samples at the 0.05 level.

Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Fabric Sandwich Composites

Three-dimensional( 3 D) fabric composite is a newly developed sandwich structure,consisting of two identical parallel fabric decks woven integrally and mechanically together by means of vertical woven fabrics. In this paper,six types of 3 D fabric sandwich composites were developed in terms of compressive and flexural properties as a function of pile height( 10, 20 and30 mm) and pile distance( 16, 24 and 32 mm) in pile structures. The mechanical characteristics and the damage modes of the 3 D fabric sandwich composites under compressive and flexural load conditions were investigated. Besides,the influence of pile height and pile distance on the 3 D fabric sandwich composites mechanical properties was analyzed. The results showed that the compressive properties decreased with the increase of the pile height and the pile distance. Flexural properties increased with the increase of pile height, while decreased with the increase of pile distance.

Recipe Development and Mechanical Characterization of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene 3D Printing Filament

Recycled polypropylene filaments for fused filament fabrication were investigated with and without 14 wt% short fibre carbon reinforcements. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the filaments and 3D printed specimens were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and standard tensile testing. It was observed that recycled polypropylene filaments with 14 wt% short carbon fibre reinforcement contained pores that were dispersed throughout the microstructure of the filament. A two-stage filament extrusion process was observed to improve the spatial distribution of carbon fibre reinforcement but did not reduce the pores. Recycled polypropylene filaments without reinforcement extruded at high screw speeds above 20 rpm contained a centreline cavity but no spatially distributed pores. However, this cavity is eliminated when extrusion is carried out at screw speeds below 20 rpm. For 3D printed specimens, interlayer cavities were observed larger for specimens printed from 14 wt% carbon fibre reinforced recycled polypropylene than those printed from unreinforced filaments. The values of tensile strength for the filaments were 21.82 MPa and 24.22 MPa, which reduced to 19.72 MPa and 22.70 MPa, respectively, for 3D printed samples using the filaments. Likewise, the young’s modulus of the filaments was 1208.6 MPa and 1412.7 MPa, which reduced to 961.5 MPa and 1352.3 MPa, respectively, for the 3D printed samples. The percentage elongation at failure for the recycled polypropylene filament was 9.83% but reduced to 3.84% for the samples printed with 14 wt% carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene filaments whose elongation to failure was 6.58%. The SEM observations on the fractured tensile test samples showed interlayer gaps between the printed and the adjacent raster layers. These gaps accounted for the reduction in the mechanical properties of the printed parts.

Growth Mechanism and Characterization of ZnO 3D Nanocrystals by Laser Irradiation & Coaxially Transporting O_2

Different three-dimension （3D） nanotetrapods, containing club-like nanocrystals, nanotetrapods and four-foot-like nanocrystals were synthesized from Zinc sheet via CO2 laser irradiation and coaxially transporting O2. Different nanoproducts were fabricated by changing the content of oxygen in the experiment. The morphologies, components, phase structures and optical properties of the products were investigated by a field-emission scanning electron microscopy, an X-ray diffraction, an energy dispersed X-ray spectrometer and a photoluminescence spectroscope. The X-ray diffraction spectra were obtained on a Rigaku D/max 2500PC diffractometer. The experimental results reveal that high quality ZnO nanotetrapods can be fabricated on the special parameters, and growth of ZnO nanotetrapods depends on Vapour-Liquid-Solid（VLS） model, and the content of oxygen in the gas, namely, oxygen partial pressure is one of main factors to control morphologies and optical properties ofZnO nanotetrapods; these advantages above are important for realization of optoelectronic devices.

In order to avoid the delamination of traditional laminated tubular composites,on an ordinary loom,the 3D woven special⁃shaped square tubular fabrics were woven with environment⁃friendly basalt filament yarns,and then the 3D woven special⁃shaped square tubular composites were prepared with epoxy resin by a vacuum⁃assisted resin transfer molding(VARTM)process.Through experiments and software fitting,the axial compression properties of composites were analyzed.The polynomial fitting formulas of load⁃displacement curve and energy⁃displacement curve were obtained by using least square methods.The results showed that the 3D woven special⁃shaped square tubular composites had good axial compression performance,and with the increase of the composite thickness,compressive strength and energy absorption increased significantly.The failure mode was analyzed in the paper,thus revealing the failure stress propagation,local stress concentration,and failure morphology.It provides an effective reference for the design and application of the 3D woven special⁃shaped square tubular composite.

三维正交机织复合材料的冲后压缩性能

为揭示纱线张力对三维机织复合材料抗冲击及冲后压缩性能的影响规律,基于多剑杆织造工艺,配置不同接结纱张力(25、50、100 cN)织造三维正交机织物,通过真空辅助树脂传递模塑成型工艺制备复合材料,并在室温下进行低速冲击及冲后压缩性能测试。结果表明:当接结纱张力为100 cN时,试样在冲击载荷下发生表层树脂大面积破裂和剥离并使纬纱失去支撑,同时,试样表层纬纱发生较大卷曲,促使压缩载荷发生屈曲失效;接结纱张力为100 cN试样的压缩性能相比接结纱张力为25 cN试样下降约50%;接结纱张力较高时易导致纬纱卷曲增大和树脂富集,并由此降低试样的弯曲刚度和冲后压缩性能。

Material,design,and fabrication of custom prosthetic liners for lower-extremity amputees:A review

As a physical interface,a prosthetic liner is commonly used as a transition material between the residual limb and the stiff socket.Typically made from a compliant material such as silicone,the main function of a prosthetic liner is to protect the residual limb from injuries induced by load-bearing normal and shear stresses.Compared to conventional liners,custom prosthetic lower-extremity(LE)liners have been shown to better relieve stress concentrations in painful and sensitive regions of the residual limb.Although custom LE liners have been shown to offer clinical benefits,no review article on their design and efficacy has yet been written.To address this shortcoming in the literature,this paper provides a comprehensive survey of custom LE liner materials,design,and fabrication methods.First,custom LE liner materials and components are summarized,including a description of commercial liners and their efficacy.Subsequently,digital methods used to design and fabricate custom LE liners are addressed,including residual limb biomechanical modeling,finite element-based design methods,and 3-D printing techniques.Finally,current evaluation methods of custom/commercial LE liners are presented and discussed.We hope that this review article will inspire further research and development into the design and manufacture of custom LE liners.

The impacts of fabrication systems on 3D concrete printing building forms

Recently,3D concrete printing(3DCP)technology starts entering the market from factories and laboratories,contributing to the creation of new construction methods and architectural forms.However,since the technologies of most 3DCP institutions are independently developed,there is a lack of consensus in terms of construction methods and development approaches in the industry.In this paper,based on 423DCP architectural works completed in last five years,a quantitative analysis was made to evaluate the impacts of the fabrication system on 3DCP building forms.The paper introduced three criteria,including Workspace Index,Geometric Complexity Index,and Tectonic Prospect Index,analyzing and answering the discussions about"adopting in-situ printing or prefabrication","using gantry printers or robotic arms"from the perspective of architectural form.By analyzing specific construction methods and design strategies in these projects,the research summarized three development trends,"mobile equipment,algorithmic structure,and intelligent construction",which will affect the future development of 3DCP building forms.Finally,the paper discussed the advantages,limitations,and potential of four different 3DCP fabrication systems,expecting to point out the directions to further optimize each system and realize more diverse 3DCP buildings.
