Quantitative determination of material viscoelasticity using a piezoelectric cantilever bimorph beam

The objective of this paper is to formulate the governing equation of a cantilever bimorph beam associated with a tip mass in contact with a viscoelastic material, which is modeled by a stiffness and a damper in parallel. From the eigenvalue problem, we can obtain the resonant frequencies as functions of the tip mass and material stiffness. The relation between the spectrum and material damping is established by the half-power bandwidth. It is found that the resonant frequencies increase as the material stiffness increases or the tip mass decreases, and the spectrum decreases by increasing the damping. From the analytic results, a cantilever could provide a technique to assess material viscoelasticity by simple measurements of the resonant frequency and the spectrum. Since the cantilever's behavior scales with its geometry, the device can be designed specifically for mechanical measurement of a microscopic system such as living cells and biomaterials.     

Antiferromagnetic material with the magnetoelectric effect as an example of a left-handed medium

The propagation of electromagnetic waves in an antiferromagnetic material with the magnetoelectric effect is theoretically studied. The frequency dependences of the wavenumbers, dynamical permeability and permittivity, and reflection coefficient of electromagnetic waves for various energy parameters of the antiferromagnetic material have been obtained. It has been shown that there is a frequency range where the dynamical permeability and permittivity, as well as one of the wavenumbers, are simultaneously negative in the antiferromagnetic material with the magnetoelectric effect. In this case, the antiferromagnetic material is an example of a so-called left-handed medium. The reflection coefficient of electromagnetic waves from the surface of the antiferromagnetic material decreases anomalously in this frequency range.

Self-organized amorphous material in silicon (0 0 1) by focused ion beam (FIB) system

A method using a focused ion beam (FIB) to prepare a silicon amorphous material is presented. The method involves the redeposition of sputtered material generated during the interaction of the Ga⁺ ion beam with a silicon substrate material. The shape and dimensions of this amorphous material are self-organized and reproducible. The stability of this amorphous material under electron irradiation was investigated in the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electron irradiation can induce recrystallization of the amorphous material, resulting in the lateral and vertical growth, starting at an amorphous-crystalline interface, of polysilicon containing defects.     

Distribution coefficient algorithm for small mass nodes in material point method

When using the time explicit material point method to simulate interaction of materials accompanied by large deformations and fragmentation, one often encounters a numerical instability caused by small node mass, because acceleration on a mesh node is obtained by dividing the total force on the node by the mass of the node. When the material points are in the far sides of the cells containing the node, typically happening near material interfaces, the node mass can be very small leading to artificially large acceleration and then numerical instability. For the case of small material deformations, this instability is typically avoided by placing the material points away from cell boundaries. For cases with large deformations, with the exception of initial conditions, there is no control on locations of the material points. The instability caused by small mass nodes is often encountered. To avoid this instability tiny time steps are usually required in a numerical calculation.     

Material point method enhanced by modified gradient of shape function

A numerical scheme of computing quantities involving gradients of shape functions is introduced for the material point method (MPM), so that the quantities are continuous as material points move across cell boundaries. The noise and instability caused by cell crossing of the material points are then eliminated. In this scheme, the formulas used to compute these quantities can be expressed in the same forms as in the original material point method, but with the gradient of the shape function modified. For one-dimensional cases, the gradient of the shape function used in the generalized interpolation material point (GIMP) method is a special case of the modified gradient if the characteristic function of a material point is introduced.

Investigation of material properties of thin copper films through finite element modelling of microindentation test

Technology processes of thin metal films deposition are entailed with changes in material’s microstructure. As a result, deposited films often are characterized with material properties, which are different from these of the original bulk material. Determination of these material characteristics is of big importance for practice. In the present work the material properties of thin bright copper film with known depth were investigated. The film was deposited electrochemically over substratum composed of metallurgic brass alloy (CuZn36). Based on the results from microindentation test the load-displacement curve is obtained after the indenter is unloaded and the imprint diameter is measured. Consequently the process of indentation was modelled numerically. The numerical simulation is based on the finite element model of the indentation process. As a result of the simulation the load-displacement curve was obtained numerically for a certain set of material parameters. The trial-error approach is applied to find most appropriate set which fit the experimental load-displacement curve. At the end results, which were obtained through numerical simulation give good coincidence with the experiment. Therefore the proposed method can be successfully applied for identification of material parameters of the accepted model. The proposed trial-error approach is appropriate for investigation of thin films with known thickness, deposited on a substrate with known material characteristics.     

A physical interpretation of softening of pressure-sensitive and anisotropic materials

Several new dynamic models are proposed to explain the mechanical behaviour of softening of pressure-sensitive and anisotropic materials at a macroscopic level. If a pressure-sensitive material is loaded by a force and a variable pressure or an anisotropic material is subjected to a load with a changeable loading direction relative to the material frame, their stress–strain relationships become more complicated. Mechanical behaviours of these stress–strain relationships have to cover the feature concerning the change of pressure or loading direction, i.e. mechanical properties of pressure-sensitive material corresponding to different pressure state or anisotropic material relating to different loading direction will play an important role in deciding their stress–strain relationships. Such shift of material properties due to the variable pressure or loading history may significantly expand the traditional concept of the stability of material deformation, and the second order of plastic work being negative may be a response of stable plastic deformation, which is commonly called softening.     

One-step hybrid remapping algorithm for multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian methods

In this paper, a new flux-based one-step hybrid remapping method for multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) approach is introduced. In the vicinity of material interfaces, the swept region is intersected with pure material polygons in the Lagrangian mesh to construct the material fluxes. Far from interfaces, the fluxes are constructed in a standard swept-region manner without intersections. This method is conservative, second-order accurate and linearity-preserving (in case of straight material interfaces), and faster than method based on intersections, as shown on selected numerical examples.     

Contribution to classification of buried objects based on acoustic impedance matching

Determination of material the buried objects are made of could contribute significantly to their recognition, or classification. This is important in detecting buried antipersonnel landmines within the context of humanitarian demining, as well as in a variety of other applications. In this article the concept has been formulated of the approach to buried object's material determination starting with ultrasonic impulse propagation analysis in a particular testing set configuration. The impulse propagates through a characterized transfer material in such a way that a part of it, a reflected wave, carries the information about the buried object's surface material acoustic impedance. The limit of resolution capability is theoretically analyzed and experimentally evaluated and the influencing factors described. Among these, the contact between clean surfaces of the transfer material and buried object is emphasized.     

On the influence of frequency-dependent elastic properties in vibro-acoustic modelling of porous materials under structural excitation

The aspects related to modelling the frequency dependence of the elastic properties of air-saturated porous materials have been largely neglected in the past for several reasons. For acoustic excitation of porous materials, the material behaviour can be quite well represented by models where the properties of the solid frame have little influence. Only recently has the importance of the dynamic moduli of the frame come into focus. This is related to a growing interest in the material behaviour due to structural excitation. Two aspects stand out in connection with the elastic-dynamic behaviour. The first is related to methods for the characterisation of the dynamic moduli of porous materials. The second is a perceived lack of numerical methods able to model the complex material behaviour under structural excitation, in particular at higher frequencies. In the current paper, experimental data from a panel under structural excitation, coated with a porous material, are presented. In an attempt to correlate the experimental data to numerical predictions, it is found that the measured quasi-static material parameters do not suffice for an accurate prediction of the measured results. The elastic material parameters are then estimated by correlating the numerical prediction to the experimental data, following the physical behaviour predicted by the augmented Hooke?s law. The change in material behaviour due to the frequency-dependent properties is illustrated in terms of the propagation of the slow wave and the shear wave in the porous material.     

Detection of surface changes of materials caused by intense irradiation with laser-plasma EUV source utilizing scattered or luminescent radiation excited with the EUV pulses

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation is absorbed in a thin surface layer of any material. Irradiation of material samples with intense EUV pulses may cause different surface changes. Some of them, especially connected with material desorption, can be clearly visible using an optical or electron microscope. Other changes concerning crystal structure or chemical composition may not be visible under the microscope. They can however be detected using the EUV radiation itself. In this paper a new method of measurement of surface changes by irradiation with a laser-plasma EUV source is presented. The radiation was collected and focused on a material surface using a specially designed multifoil collector. Radiation scattered or excited in the material was detected with the use of a Wolter-type mirror coupled to a back-illuminated CCD camera. Depending on material samples, images with different intensity distributions were registered. For some samples, the intensity distributions of the images obtained before and after irradiation were slightly different. The intensity differences in such cases allowed us to obtain differential images. The appearance of such images was assumed to be evidence of surface changes. PACS 42.62.-b; 61.80.-x; 52.25.Os     

Calculation of laser modes in an active Perot-Fabry-Interferometer

The mode structure and the diffraction losses of a Perot-Fabry-Interferometer filled with an active material are calculated analytically with aGreen's function method. The active material is described by a complex susceptibility. The mode pattern and the diffraction losses derived here are in good agreement with the results of Fox andLi, who obtained the mode pattern and the diffraction losses of the decaying modes of a Perot-Fabry-Interferometer by a machine calculation. Furthermore the case of different dielectric constants between the active material and the outer space and the example of a Perot-Fabry-Interferometer with infinite mirrors are discussed. Throughout the paper only a single mode is treated and it is assumed that the inversion in the active material is constant.     

Multiscale simulation from atomistic to continuum – coupling molecular dynamics (MD) with the material point method (MPM)

A new multiscale simulation approach is introduced that couples atomistic-scale simulations using molecular dynamics (MD) with continuum-scale simulations using the recently developed material point method (MPM). In MPM, material continuum is represented by a finite collection of material points carrying all relevant physical characteristics, such as mass, acceleration, velocity, strain and stress. The use of material points at the continuum level provides a natural connection with the atoms in the lattice at the atomistic scale. A hierarchical mesh refinement technique in MPM is presented to scale down the continuum level to the atomistic level, so that material points at the fine level in MPM are allowed to directly couple with the atoms in MD. A one-to-one correspondence of MD atoms and MPM points is used in the transition region and non-local elastic theory is used to assure compatibility between MD and MPM regions, so that seamless coupling between MD and MPM can be accomplished. A silicon single crystal under uniaxial tension is used in demonstrating the viability of the technique. A Tersoff-type, three-body potential was used in the MD simulations. The coupled MD/MPM simulations show that silicon under nanometric tension experiences, with increasing elongation in elasticity, dislocation generation and plasticity by slip, void formation and propagation, formation of amorphous structure, necking, and final rupture. Results are presented in terms of stress–strain relationships at several strain rates, as well as the rate dependence of uniaxial material properties. This new multiscale computational method has potential for use in cases where a detailed atomistic-level analysis is necessary in localized spatially separated regions whereas continuum mechanics is adequate in the rest of the material.     

Confined micro-explosion induced by ultrashort laser pulse at SiO2/Si interface

Ultrashort laser pulses tightly focused inside a transparent material present an example of laser interaction with matter where all the laser-affected material remains inside the bulk, thus the mass is conserved. In this paper, we present the case where the high intensity of a laser pulse is above the threshold for optical breakdown, and the material is ionised in the focal area. We consider in detail a special case where a micro-explosion is formed at the boundary of a silicon surface buried under a 10-micron-thick oxidised layer, providing the opportunity to affect the silicon crystal by a strong shock wave and creating new material phases from the plasma state. We summarise the main conclusions on ultrafast laser-induced material modifications in confined geometry and discuss the prospects of confined micro-explosion for forming new silicon phases.
