Flat-shaped specimens made of laser cladding Fe314 alloy coatings were performed by static tensile tests, and Rayleigh wave signals were collected during the test process with an ultrasonic pulser and receiver instrument combined with two Rayleigh wave transducers. The difference in time of flight between two signals was de- termined based on the cross correlation function. The microstructure was observed by scanning electronic microscopy. The influence of the stress on the propagation velocity of Rayleigh waves and the relationship between the difference in time of flight and tensile stress under dif- ferent cross correlation step lengths were analyzed. The inhomogeneous deformation of the coatings affects the relationship between the dif- ference in time of flight and tensile stress; the stress measurement of the coatings is nearly constant with the increase of cross correlation step length when it attains one cycle.展开更多

Main advantages of the MCST over the classical theory (CT) are the inclusion of the asymmetric couple stress tensor and the consideration of only one material length scale parameter. Based on the nonlinear von Karman assumption, the governing equations of equilibrium for the micro-classical plate consid- ering midplane displacements are derived based on the minimum principle of potential energy. Using the DQM, the biaxial and shear critical buckling loads of the micro-plate for various boundary conditions are obtained. Accuracy of the obtained results is validated by comparing the solutions with those reported in the literature. A parametric study is conducted to show the effects of the aspect ratio, the side-to-thickness ratio, Eringen's nonlocal parameter, the material length scale parameter, Young's modulus of the surface layer, the surface residual stress, the polymer matrix coefficients, and various boundary conditions on the dimensionless uniaxial, biaxial, and shear critical buckling loads. The results indicate that the critical buckling loads are strongly sensitive to Eringen's nonlocal parameter, the material length scale parameter, and the surface residual stress effects, while the effect of Young's modulus of the surface layer on the critical buckling load is negligible. Also, considering the size dependent effect causes the increase in the stiffness of the orthotropic micro-plate. The results show that the critical biaxial buckling load increases with an increase in G12/E2 and vice versa for E1/E2. It is shown that the nonlinear biaxial buckling ratio decreases as the aspect ratio increases and vice versa for the buckling amplitude. Because of the most lightweight micro-composite materials with high strength/weight and stiffness/weight ratios, it is anticipated that the results of the present work are useful in experimental characterization of the mechanical properties of micro-composite plates in the aircraft industry and other engineering applications.展开更多

Furthermore, the interdependence of the material selection, geometrical design parameters, and fabrication process of piezoresistive SU-8 polymeric cantilever sensors and their cumulative impact on the sensor response are also explained in detail.In addition to the design-, fabrication-, and performancerelated factors, this article also describes various challenges in engineering SU-8 polymeric cantilevers as a universal sensing platform such as temperature and moisture vulnerability. This review article would serve as a guideline for researchers to understand specifics and functionality of surface stress-based piezoresistive SU-8 cantilever sensors.展开更多

Different from existing piezoelectric surface models which only consider the surface properties, the proposed model takes surfaceinduced initial fields into consideration. Due to the fact that the surface-induced initial fields are totally different under various boundary conditions, two kinds of beams, the doubly-clamped beam and the cantilever beam, are analyzed. Furthermore, boundary conditions can affect not only the initial state of the piezoelectric nanobeam but also the forms of the governing equations. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the nonlin- ear Green-Lagrangian strain-displacement relationship is applied. In addition, the surface area change is also considered in the proposed model. The governing equations of the doubly-clamped and cantilever beams are derived by the energy variation principle. Com- pared with existing Young-Laplace models, the proposed model for the doubly-clamped beam is similar to the Young-Laplace models. However~ the governing equation of the cantilever beam derived by the proposed model is very different from that derived by the Young-Laplace models. The behaviors of piezoelectric nanobeams predicted by these two models Mso have significant discrepancies, which is owing to the surface-induced initial fields in the bulk beam.展开更多

It begins with the fundamental formulations of surface mechanics of solids, including the definition of surface stress as a surface excess quantity, the surface constitutive relations, and the surface equilibrium equations. Then, it depicts some theoretical and experimental studies of the mechanical properties of nanostructured elements, as well as the static and dynamic behaviour of cantilever sensors caused by the surface stress which is influenced by adsorption. Afterwards, the article gives a summary of the analytical elasto-static and dynamic solutions of a single as well as multiple inhomogeneities embedded in a matrix with the interface stress prevailing. The effect of surface elasticity on the diffraction of elastic waves is elucidated. Due to the difficulties in the analytical solution of inhomogeneities of complex shapes and configurations, finite element approaches have been developed for heterogeneous materials with the surface stress. Surface stress and surface energy are inherently related to crack propagation and the stress field in the vicinity of crack tips. The solutions of crack prob- lems taking into account surface stress effects are also included. Predicting the effective elastic and plastic responses of heterogeneous materials while taking into account surface and interface stresses has received much attention. The advances in this topic are inevitably delineated. Mechanics of rough surfaces appears to deserve special attention due to its theoretical and practical implications. Some most recent work is reviewed. Finally, some challenges are pointed out. They include the characterization of surfaces and interfaces of real nanomaterials, experimental mea- surements and verification of mechanical parameters of complex surfaces, and the effects of the physical and chemical processes on the surface properties, etc.展开更多

It is shown that surface stress depends not only on biomolec- ular interactions of DNA biofilm but also on mechanical properties of cantilever. Considering the correlativity between grafting density and chain length of DNA chain, we discuss the differences between DNA-microcantilever system and DNA solution system. The major theoretical achieve- ment of this model is to identify the main contributions to surface stress under different detection conditions. This provides guidelines for designing new biosensors with high sensitivity and improved reliability.展开更多
Calculating interacting stress intensity factors(SIFs)of multiple ellipticalholes and cracks is very important for safety assessment,stop-hole optimization design and resource exploitation production in underground ro...Calculating interacting stress intensity factors(SIFs)of multiple ellipticalholes and cracks is very important for safety assessment,stop-hole optimization design and resource exploitation production in underground rock engineering,e.g.,buried tunnels,deep mining,geothermal and shale oil/gas exploitation by hydraulic fracturing technology,where both geo-stresses and surface stresses are applied on buried tunnels,horizontal wells and natural cracks.However,current literatures are focused mainly on study of interacting SIFs of multiple elliptical-holes(or circularholes)and cracks only under far-field stresses without consideration of arbitrary surface stresses.Recently,our group has proposed a new integral method to calculate interacting SIFs of multiple circular-holes and cracks subjected to far-filed and surface stresses.This new method will be developed to study the problem of multiple elliptical-hole and cracks subjected to both far-field and surface stresses.In this study,based on Cauchy integral theorem,the exact fundamental stress solutions of single elliptical-hole under arbitrarily concentrated surface normal and shear forces are derived to establish new integral equation formulations for calculating interacting SIFs of multiple elliptical-holes and cracks under both far-field and arbitrary surface stresses.The new method is proved to be valid by comparing our results of interacting SIFs with those obtained by Green’s function method,displacement discontinuity method,singular integral equation method,pseudo-dislocations method and finite element method.Computational examples of one elliptical-hole and one crack in an infinite elastic body are given to analyze influence of loads and geometries on interacting SIFs.Research results show that whenσ_(xx)^(∞)≥σ^(yy′)^(∞),there appears a neutral crack orientation angle b0(without elliptical-hole’s effect).Increasing s¥xx/s¥yy and b/a(close to circularhole)usually decreases b0 of KI and benefits to the layout of stop-holes.The surface compressive stresses applied onto elliptical-hole(n)and crack(p)have significant influence on interacting SIFs but almost no on b0.Increasing n and p usually results in increase of interacting SIFs and facilitates crack propagation and fracture networks.The elliptical-hole orientation angle(a)and holed-cracked distance(t)have great influence on the interacting SIFs while have little effect on b0.The present method is not only simple(without any singular parts),high-accurate(due to exact fundamental stress solutions)and wider applicable(under far-field stresses and arbitrarily distributed surface stress)than the common methods,but also has the potential for the anisotropic problem involving multiple holes and cracks.展开更多

Temporal variabilities are analyzed at 3 frequency bands; synoptic (2-20 d), intra-seasonal (20-90 d),and seasonal (>90 d).Synoptic and intra-seasonal variations are predominant near and off the Donghae City due to the passage of the mesoscale weather system. Seasonal variation is caused by southeastward wind stress during Asian winter monsoon. The sea surface wind stress from reanalyzed datasets.QuikSCAT and KMA-B measurements off the coast show good agreement in the magnitude and direction,which are strongly aligned with the alongshore direction.At the land-based sites,wind stresses are much weaker by factors of 3-10 due to the mountainous landmass on the east parts of Korea Peninsula.The first EOF modes(67%-70%) of wind stresses from reanalyzed and QuikSCAT data have similar structures of the strong southeastward wind stress in winter along the coast but show different curl structures at scales less than 200 km due to the orographic effects.The second EOF modes (23%-25%) show southwestward wind stress in every September along the east coast of the North Korea展开更多

In this paper, the design of surface-enhanced cantilever sensors using nano- (micro-) porous films as surface layers is proposed. The static deformation and resonance frequencies of these surface-enhanced sensors with the simultaneous effects of the eigenstrain, the surface stress and the adsorption mass are analyzed. It is shown that the sensitivities of these novel cantilever sensors for the static deformation and resonance frequencies can be tuned by the porosity, the size of the pores and the structure of the porous films. For the three kinds of cantilever consisting of solid films, films with aligned cylindrical micro-scale pores, and those with nano-scale pores, the nano-porous one has the highest static and dynamic sensitivities, whereas the solid one has the lowest.展开更多

The surface energy effects are taken into account according to the surface elasticity theory of Gurtin and Murdoch. The developed geometrically nonlinear shell model is based on the classical Donnell shell theory and the von Karman's hypothesis. With the numerical results, the effect of the surface stress on the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behaviors of nanoshells made of Si and Al is studied. Moreover, the influence of the surface residual tension and the radius-to-thickness ratio is illustrated. The results indicate that the surface stress has an important effect on prebuckling and postbuekling characteristics of nanoshells with small sizes.展开更多

Compared with monolithic Al2O3/ZrO2 ceramics, the existence of surface compressive stresses greatly restrained the growth of ZrO2 and Al2O3 grains at high sinter temperature, fined the grain size, and increased the content of metastable t-ZrO2, which made the fracture transformation energy quantity 70% higher than that of the monolithic ceramics. The trans-granular and inter-granular fracture features were observed in the surface and center layers, which further verified that transformation toughening is the main mechanism, whereas, micro-crack toughening is helpful for enhancing fracture toughness.展开更多

In this paper theoretical analyses and numerical verifications are carried out. The calculated results are reported, which indicate that the present method is efficient and can be used to analyze the surface crack problem on a personal computer.展开更多

文摘For the first time, the connection between surface stress and nanoscopic interac- tions of DNA adsorbed on microcantilever is established by combining Strey's mesoscopic liquid crystal theory and Stoney's formula. It is shown that surface stress depends not only on biomolec- ular interactions of DNA biofilm but also on mechanical properties of cantilever. Considering the correlativity between grafting density and chain length of DNA chain, we discuss the differences between DNA-microcantilever system and DNA solution system. The major theoretical achieve- ment of this model is to identify the main contributions to surface stress under different detection conditions. This provides guidelines for designing new biosensors with high sensitivity and improved reliability.

文摘Calculating interacting stress intensity factors(SIFs)of multiple ellipticalholes and cracks is very important for safety assessment,stop-hole optimization design and resource exploitation production in underground rock engineering,e.g.,buried tunnels,deep mining,geothermal and shale oil/gas exploitation by hydraulic fracturing technology,where both geo-stresses and surface stresses are applied on buried tunnels,horizontal wells and natural cracks.However,current literatures are focused mainly on study of interacting SIFs of multiple elliptical-holes(or circularholes)and cracks only under far-field stresses without consideration of arbitrary surface stresses.Recently,our group has proposed a new integral method to calculate interacting SIFs of multiple circular-holes and cracks subjected to far-filed and surface stresses.This new method will be developed to study the problem of multiple elliptical-hole and cracks subjected to both far-field and surface stresses.In this study,based on Cauchy integral theorem,the exact fundamental stress solutions of single elliptical-hole under arbitrarily concentrated surface normal and shear forces are derived to establish new integral equation formulations for calculating interacting SIFs of multiple elliptical-holes and cracks under both far-field and arbitrary surface stresses.The new method is proved to be valid by comparing our results of interacting SIFs with those obtained by Green’s function method,displacement discontinuity method,singular integral equation method,pseudo-dislocations method and finite element method.Computational examples of one elliptical-hole and one crack in an infinite elastic body are given to analyze influence of loads and geometries on interacting SIFs.Research results show that whenσ_(xx)^(∞)≥σ^(yy′)^(∞),there appears a neutral crack orientation angle b0(without elliptical-hole’s effect).Increasing s¥xx/s¥yy and b/a(close to circularhole)usually decreases b0 of KI and benefits to the layout of stop-holes.The surface compressive stresses applied onto elliptical-hole(n)and crack(p)have significant influence on interacting SIFs but almost no on b0.Increasing n and p usually results in increase of interacting SIFs and facilitates crack propagation and fracture networks.The elliptical-hole orientation angle(a)and holed-cracked distance(t)have great influence on the interacting SIFs while have little effect on b0.The present method is not only simple(without any singular parts),high-accurate(due to exact fundamental stress solutions)and wider applicable(under far-field stresses and arbitrarily distributed surface stress)than the common methods,but also has the potential for the anisotropic problem involving multiple holes and cracks.

文摘This study is directed towards a comprehensive exploration on the deformation mechanism of the thin membrane transducer(TMT) caused by surface stress variation.We stress that the biomolecular interaction has changed the magnitude of the surface stress;and when the surface stress exceeds a critical value the TMT will buckle and deform.Based upon Gurtin's theory of surface elasticity and principle of finite deformation,we abstract the TMT as a nanobeam with two clamped ends,and the close-formed governing equation set is derived accordingly.A computer code via the shooting method is developed to solve the presented two-point boundary value problem.In succession,the nanobeam deflection and critical parameters for buckling are quantitatively discussed.This investigation lays the theoretical foundation of TMTs;and it is also beneficial to gain deep insight into characterizing mechanical properties of nanomaterials and engineering nano-devices.
文摘Sea surface wind stress variabilities near and off the east coast of Korea, are examined using 7 kinds of wind datasets from measurements at 2 coastal (land) stations and 2 ocean buoys,satellite scatterometer (QuikSCAT), and global reanalyzed products (ECMWF,NOGAPS,and NCEP/NCAR). Temporal variabilities are analyzed at 3 frequency bands; synoptic (2-20 d), intra-seasonal (20-90 d),and seasonal (>90 d).Synoptic and intra-seasonal variations are predominant near and off the Donghae City due to the passage of the mesoscale weather system. Seasonal variation is caused by southeastward wind stress during Asian winter monsoon. The sea surface wind stress from reanalyzed datasets.QuikSCAT and KMA-B measurements off the coast show good agreement in the magnitude and direction,which are strongly aligned with the alongshore direction.At the land-based sites,wind stresses are much weaker by factors of 3-10 due to the mountainous landmass on the east parts of Korea Peninsula.The first EOF modes(67%-70%) of wind stresses from reanalyzed and QuikSCAT data have similar structures of the strong southeastward wind stress in winter along the coast but show different curl structures at scales less than 200 km due to the orographic effects.The second EOF modes (23%-25%) show southwestward wind stress in every September along the east coast of the North Korea

文摘By using remote sensing (ERS) data, FSU data, COADS data and Hellerman & Rosen-stein objective analysis data to analyze the sea surface wind stress in the South China Sea, it is found that the remote sensing data have higher resolution and more reasonable values. Therefore we suggest that remote sensing data be chosen in the study of climatological features of sea surface wind stress and its seasonal variability in the South China Sea, especially in the study of small and middle scale eddies.
文摘In this current work,aluminum alloy grade 2024 is adopted as a plate material that is used in the rolling process with three different parameters including thickness reduction,forming temperature,and density of lubrication type.The experimental procedure of the rolling process is performed using the design of the experiment based on the Taguchi technique(L27),then surface roughness,surface hardness,and surface residual stresses are measured.The results showed that the lubrication density has a significant impact on the surface roughness which depends on the lubrication properties(mineral oil type,natural fat,and kinematic viscosity)while surface hardness and surface residual stresses were strongly affected by thickness reduction.On the other side,the augment in forming temperature can decrease the quality of the final surface finish and the surface hardness but reduce the induced residual stresses.The best surface finish is obtained based on the optimum condition of the rolling factors are(R%_(3),T_(1),andρ_(3))while the optimum condition of rolling parameters that generate higher hardness and compressive residual stresses are(R%_(3)T_(1)ρ_(1)).

文摘Developing surface-enhanced microcantilevers with improved sensitivities is of longstanding interest. In this paper, the design of surface-enhanced cantilever sensors using nano- (micro-) porous films as surface layers is proposed. The static deformation and resonance frequencies of these surface-enhanced sensors with the simultaneous effects of the eigenstrain, the surface stress and the adsorption mass are analyzed. It is shown that the sensitivities of these novel cantilever sensors for the static deformation and resonance frequencies can be tuned by the porosity, the size of the pores and the structure of the porous films. For the three kinds of cantilever consisting of solid films, films with aligned cylindrical micro-scale pores, and those with nano-scale pores, the nano-porous one has the highest static and dynamic sensitivities, whereas the solid one has the lowest.
文摘The size-dependent nonlinear buckling and postbuckling characteristics of circular cylindrical nanoshells subjected to the axial compressive load are investigated with an analytical approach. The surface energy effects are taken into account according to the surface elasticity theory of Gurtin and Murdoch. The developed geometrically nonlinear shell model is based on the classical Donnell shell theory and the von Karman's hypothesis. With the numerical results, the effect of the surface stress on the nonlinear buckling and postbuckling behaviors of nanoshells made of Si and Al is studied. Moreover, the influence of the surface residual tension and the radius-to-thickness ratio is illustrated. The results indicate that the surface stress has an important effect on prebuckling and postbuekling characteristics of nanoshells with small sizes.

文摘An ab initio core-shell model is proposed to evaluate the surface effect in bending nanowires,in which the elastic modulus depends on the surface relaxation and deformation induced by external loading.By using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory(DFT),the surface and bulk properties are calculated for Ag,Pb,and Si nanowires.The obtained theoretical predictions of the effective Young’s modulus of nanowires agree well with the experimental data,which shows that the fixed-fixed nanowire is stiffened and the cantilevered nanowire is softened as the characteristic size of the cross section decreases.Furthermore,the contrastive analysis on the two kinds of nanowires demonstrates that increasing the nanowire aspect ratio would enhance the surface effect.The present results could be helpful for understanding the size effect in nanowires and designing nanobeam-based devices in nanoelectromechanical systems(NEMSs).

文摘We study the effect of surface roughness on the resonance frequency of micro-cantilever sensors. The analysis demonstrates that surface roughness can enhance, decrease or even annul the effect of surface stress on the resonance frequency, depending on the surface inclination angle and the Poisson ratio of the coating film on the cantilever.

文摘With the help of scanning electronic microscopy and X-ray diffraction, the relationships of microstructure characteristics, phase assemblage, and fracture micrograph of Al2O3/ZrO2 laminated ceramics were studied. Compared with monolithic Al2O3/ZrO2 ceramics, the existence of surface compressive stresses greatly restrained the growth of ZrO2 and Al2O3 grains at high sinter temperature, fined the grain size, and increased the content of metastable t-ZrO2, which made the fracture transformation energy quantity 70% higher than that of the monolithic ceramics. The trans-granular and inter-granular fracture features were observed in the surface and center layers, which further verified that transformation toughening is the main mechanism, whereas, micro-crack toughening is helpful for enhancing fracture toughness.
文摘The authors have developed a new line-spring boundary element method in the present paper, which combines the advantage of the line-spring model with that of the boundary element method. This method reduces the three-dimension problem of the surface cracks into a quasi-one-dimension problem and can be used to analyze the surface cracked plate under various loading conditions. In this paper theoretical analyses and numerical verifications are carried out. The calculated results are reported, which indicate that the present method is efficient and can be used to analyze the surface crack problem on a personal computer.
