Ultrasonic excitation affects friction interactions between food materials and cutting tools

In the food industry, ultrasonic cutting is used to improve separation by a reduction of the cutting force. This reduction can be attributed to the modification of tool–workpiece interactions at the cutting edge and along the tool flanks because of the superposition of the cutting movement with ultrasonic vibration of the cutting tool. In this study, model experiments were used to analyze friction between the flanks of a cutting tool and the material to be cut. Friction force at a commercial cutting sonotrode was quantified using combined cutting–friction experiments, and sliding friction tests were carried out by adapting a standard draw-off assembly and using an ultrasonic welding sonotrode as sliding surface. The impact of material parameters, ultrasonic amplitude, and the texture of the contacting food surface on friction force was investigated. The results show that ultrasonic vibration significantly reduces the sliding friction force. While the amplitude showed no influence within the tested range, the texture of the contact surface of the food affects the intensity of ultrasonic transportation effects. These effects are a result of mechanical interactions and of changes in material properties of the contact layer, which are induced by the deformation of contact points, friction heating and absorption heating because of the dissipation of mechanical vibration energy.

Nonlinear shear wave interaction at a frictional interface: energy dissipation and generation of harmonics

Analytical and numerical modeling of the nonlinear interaction of shear wave with a frictional interface is presented. The system studied is composed of two homogeneous and isotropic elastic solids, brought into frictional contact by remote normal compression. A shear wave, either time harmonic or a narrow band pulse, is incident normal to the interface and propagates through the contact. Two friction laws are considered and the influence on interface behavior is investigated: Coulomb's law with a constant friction coefficient and a slip-weakening friction law which involves static and dynamic friction coefficients. The relationship between the nonlinear harmonics and the dissipated energy, and the dependence on the contact dynamics (friction law, sliding, and tangential stress) and on the normal contact stress are examined in detail. The analytical and numerical results indicate universal type laws for the amplitude of the higher harmonics and for the dissipated energy, properly non-dimensionalized in terms of the pre-stress, the friction coefficient and the incident amplitude. The results suggest that measurements of higher harmonics can be used to quantify friction and dissipation effects of a sliding interface.     

Finite element stress analysis of the inhomogeneous carbon overcoat for rigid magnetic disks

Recent investigations of the initiation of the wear process have identified the presence of wear features that result from specific inhomogeneities in phase and properties of a wear coat. To better understand the creation and formation of wear debris, detailed analysis of the sliding contact stress field is required in studying tribological reliability of the protective overcoats. Stress calculations by the finite element method were used to study the response of solid multilayered materials under sliding contact interaction, assuming Hertzian contact conditions. Numerical results are presented for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous protective overcoats.

Exact solutions of a new, 2D frictionless contact model for orthotropic piezoelectric materials indented by a rigid sliding punch

A theoretical analysis of two-dimensional frictionless sliding contact over orthotropic piezoelectric materials indented by a rigid sliding punch is carried out using a real fundamental solution approach. The actual sliding motion does occur, which is different from the classical sliding contact, and the Galilean transformation is introduced to make the governing equations containing the inertial terms tractable. A system of Cauchy singular integral equations is derived and exact solutions are obtained for the cases of a conducting flat punch and a cylindrical punch, respectively. Explicit expressions of various stresses and electric displacement for each case of eigenvalue distribution of the corresponding characteristic equation are obtained. Numerical results are presented to justify the validity of exact solutions. The effects of various mechanical-electric and geometrical loadings, dimensionless sliding speed and punch foundation profiles on the surface contact stress, surface electric charge and surface in-plane stress are presented. The singular behaviors at the edges of the punch are also revealed.

Repulsive Polarons in One-Dimensional Fermi Gases

Using the variational method, we study the properties of a spin-down impurity immersed in a onedimensional(1 D) spin-up Fermi sea. With repulsive interactions between them, the impurity is dressed up by surrounding particles in Fermi sea and forms a polaron. We clearly calculate the binding energy, effective mass, momentum distribution, Tan contact, and pair correlation. Even in strong repulsive regimes, the results can agree with the exact Bethe Ansatz results. The repulsive polaron energy E+ is below Fermi energy EF and no negative effective masses are found in whole interaction regimes, unequal masses polarons are also calculated. We show a clear momentum distribution and calculate the Tan contact from three different aspects. Furthermore, we explore the particle-hole excitation and find that the hole terms in Fermi sea have a great influence on the polaron energy and contact in repulsive regime. These results show that the variational method can still be used effectively in 1 D repulsive polaron system.     

Surface-modified Pd nanoparticles as a superior additive for lubrication

The tribological performance of lubricants is favourably altered by adding small amounts of nanoparticles which provide reduced wear and low friction. However, one of the main difficulties of using nanoparticles as additives is their dispersion or dissolution in lubricant oils, typically of hydrocarbon nature. With the surface modification of nanoparticles through long chain high molecular weight hydrocarbons, stable dispersions in lubricant oils become feasible. Here we show that using surface-modified Pd nanoparticles (2 nm size) with tetraalkylammonium chains, stable dispersions in lubricant oils become feasible with excellent tribological properties (friction 0.07, wear resistance 10⁻¹⁰ mm³/Nm). Electrical contact measurements were also used to monitor the conductivity of the contact during sliding. The use of these nanoparticles made decrease the electrical resistance of the contact a percentage of 97 to 99.5% in comparison with the initial value measured for the base oil alone. To understand these phenomena the contact surfaces and Pd nanoparticles were studied after friction by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The outstanding performance is attributed to a combination of factors as metallic character of palladium, nanometric size, and replenishment of Pd nanoparticles onto the contact forming a transfer layer. This discovery opens new perspectives of using metallic nanoparticles as lubricant additives for small contacts and connectors applications.     

Contact mechanics analysis of oscillatory sliding of a rigid fractal surface against an elastic–plastic half-space

Oscillatory sliding contact between a rigid rough surface and an elastic–plastic half-space is examined in the context of numerical simulations. Stick-slip at asperity contacts is included in the analysis in the form of a modified Mindlin theory. Two friction force components are considered – adhesion (depending on the real area of contact, shear strength and interfacial adhesive strength) and plowing (accounting for the deformation resistance of the plastically deformed half-space). Multi-scale surface roughness is described by fractal geometry, whereas the interfacial adhesive strength is represented by a floating parameter that varies between zero (adhesionless surfaces) and one (perfectly adhered surfaces). The effects of surface roughness, apparent contact pressure, oscillation amplitude, elastic–plastic properties of the half-space and interfacial adhesion on contact deformation are interpreted in the light of numerical results of the energy dissipation, maximum tangential (friction) force and slip index. A non-monotonic trend of the energy dissipation and maximum tangential force is observed with increasing surface roughness, which is explained in terms of the evolution of the elastic and plastic fractions of truncated asperity contact areas. The decrease of energy dissipation with increasing apparent contact pressure is attributed to the increase of the elastic contact area fraction and the decrease of the slip index. For a half-space with fixed yield strength, a lower elastic modulus produces a higher tangential force, whereas a higher elastic modulus yields a higher slip index. These two competing effects lead to a non-monotonic dependence of the energy dissipation on the elastic modulus-to-yield strength ratio of the half-space. The effect of interfacial adhesion on the oscillatory contact behaviour is more pronounced for smoother surfaces because the majority of asperity contacts deform elastically and adhesion is the dominant friction mechanism. For rough surfaces, higher interfacial adhesion yields less energy dissipation because more asperity contacts exhibit partial slip.     

Controlling the micro/nanostructure of self-cleaning polymer coating

Polypropylene bio-mimic self-cleaning surfaces with porous micro-nano-binary morphology structures were prepared by a simple casting method. The influence of the cooling process and solvent composition on water contact angle, sliding angles and self-cleaning properties has been investigated. Detailed SEM morphology studies revealed that the polymer used in this work is commercial-grade granular low-density polyethylene (LDPE) forms petal-like crystalline, which are of micrometer scale in length and nanometer scale in thickness. The nano-crystallines on the surface represent a porous three-dimensional micro-nano-binary structure. It was found that a compromise to the film porosity and crystal nano structure is essential for achieving a satisfied self-cleaning surface. Under optimum condition, a water contact angle of 152.2°, and a sliding angle of 1.7° can be obtained using this simple method.     

Tribological properties of silicate materials on nano and microscale

We studied the friction properties of four model silicate materials at the nanoscale and microscale. From nanotribology, we characterized the tribological properties at single asperity contact scale and from microtribology, we characterized the tribological properties at multi asperity contact scale. First, for each material we measured chemical composition by XPS, Young's modulus by acoustical microscopy and roughness σ by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Second, we measured the nanofriction coefficients with an AFM and the microfriction coefficients with a ball probe tribometer, for three hardnesses of the ball probe. We identified one friction mechanism at the nanoscale (sliding friction) and two friction mechanisms at the microscale (sliding friction and yielding friction). Comparison of the nano and microfriction coefficients at the same sliding friction regime shown, that the tribological properties of these materials didn’t depend on roughness.     

Friction and Wear of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Polyethersulfone (PES) and Polysulfone (PSU) Under Different Cooling Conditions

The friction and wear properties of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU), which have similar molecular structure, were investigated using an end-face contact tribometer in three different cooling ways: sliding without air cooling, sliding with air cooling, and sliding in water. The worn surface and wear debris were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effect of frictional heat on the tribological properties of the polymers was comparatively studied. When sliding in air, with increasing applied load, the wear rate of PPS decreased slightly initially then increased later while the wear rate of PES and PSU increased through out. The results suggested that the friction coefficient was mainly affected by the temperature of the worn polymer that was controlled by the balance of heat flow of the whole sliding contact system. When sliding in water, the friction coefficients of the three polymers decreased compared to that sliding in air and remained relatively steady through the whole process under different load. The wear rates of the three polymers had a close value and, remarkably, increased compared to that sliding in air. The water cooling and lubrication role decreased the tribological properties difference between the polymers.     

Alkylsilane self-assembled monolayers: modeling their wetting characteristics

The analysis of wetting behavior of self-assembled monolayers of alkylsilanes is presented. A simple model accounting for various surface fractions of CH₃ and CH₂ groups (self-assembly order/disorder) is used. The effect of inclusion of air in the structure of rough silanized surfaces is also considered. The importance of reduced solid–water contact area and assembly order of organic monomers is demonstrated for achieving both high contact angle and low sliding angle. As coatings with low surface energy, these materials may be of potential use for ice-repellent purposes.     

Effect of layer sliding on the interfacial electronic properties of intercalated silicene/indium selenide van der Waals heterostructure

Methods capable of tuning the properties of van der Waals (vdW) layered materials in a controlled and reversible manner are highly desirable. Interfacial electronic properties of two-dimensional vdW heterostructure consisting of silicene and indium selenide (InSe) have been calculated using density functional theory-based computational code. Furthermore, in order to vary the aforementioned properties, silicene is slid over a InSe layer in the presence of Li intercalation. On intercalation of the heterostructure, the buckling parameter associated with the corrugation of silicene decreases from 0.44 Å to 0.36 Å, whereas the InSe structure remains unaffected. Potential energy scans reveal a significant increase in the sliding energy barrier for the case of intercalated heterostructure as compared with the unintercalated heterostructure. The sliding of the silicene encounters the maximum energy barrier of 0.14 eV. Anisotropic analysis shows the noteworthy differences between calculated in-plane and out-of-plane part of dielectric function. A variation of the planar average charge density difference, dipole charge transfer and dipole moment have been discussed to elucidate the usability spectrum of the heterostructure. The employed approach based on intercalation and layer sliding can be effectively utilized for obtaining next-generation multifunctional devices.     

Hydrophobization of epoxy nanocomposite surface with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane for superhydrophobic properties

Nature inspires the design of synthetic materials with superhydrophobic properties, which can be used for applications ranging from self-cleaning surfaces to microfluidic devices. Their water repellent properties are due to hierarchical (micrometer- and nanometre-scale) surface morphological structures, either made of hydrophobic substances or hydrophobized by appropriate surface treatment. In this work, the efficiency of two surface treatment procedures, with a hydrophobic fluoropolymer, synthesized and deposited from 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane (PFOTS) is investigated. The procedures involved reactions from the gas and liquid phases of the PFOTS/hexane solutions. The hierarchical structure is created in an epoxy nanocomposite surface, by filling the resin with alumina nanoparticles and micron-sized glass beads and subsequent sandblasting with corundum microparticles. The chemical structure of the deposited fluoropolymer was examined using XPS spectroscopy. The topography of the modified surfaces was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The hydrophobic properties of the modified surfaces were investigated by water contact and sliding angles measurements. The surfaces exhibited water contact angles of above 150° for both modification procedures, however only the gas phase modification provided the non-sticking behaviour of water droplets (sliding angle of 3°). The discrepancy is attributed to extra surface roughness provided by the latter procedure.     

Dynamics of spherical particles on a surface: collision-induced sliding and other effects

We present a model for the motion of hard spherical particles on a two-dimensional surface. The model includes both the interaction between the particles via collisions and the interaction of the particles with the substrate. We analyze in detail the effects of sliding and rolling friction, which are usually overlooked. It is found that the properties of this particulate system are influenced significantly by the substrate-particle interactions. In particular, sliding of the particles relative to the substrate after a collision leads to considerable energy loss for common experimental conditions. The presented results provide a basis that can be used to realistically model the dynamical properties of the system, and provide further insight into density fluctuations and related phenomena of clustering and structure formation.
