Modeling photo-induced deformation of glassy splay-bend and twist nematic sheets

Azobenzene-containing glassy nematic sheets deform in response to light in a complicated way depending on director distribution. To quantify the large-deflected deformation, a theoretical model is developed for the sheets with typical splay-bend and twist director distributions. A third-order in-plane displacement assumption is adopted to characterize the effect of transverse shear deformation, and the necessity is discussed through two examples for which analytical solutions are obtainable. Though this work is an extension of the third-order shear deformable theory for anisotropic laminates, it involves some new ingredients such as varying spontaneous strains and special material symmetries. The results are expected useful for analysis and design of the glassy nematic sheets in actuation applications.     

Real-time accurate Free-Form Deformation in terms of triangular Bezier surfaces

We implemented accurate FFD in terms of triangular Bezier surfaces as matrix multiplications in CUDA and rendered them via OpenGL. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the previous GPU acceleration algorithm and tessel- lation shader algorithms.     

Fabrication of microporous membranes from melt extruded polypropylene precursor films via stretching: Effect of annealing

In this work, the effects of annealing conditions on the microstructure of polypropylene(PP) precursor films and further on the porous structure and permeability of stretched membranes were investigated. Combinations of WAXD, FTIR, DSC and DMA results clearly showed the crystalline orientation and crystallinity of the precursor film increased with annealing temperature, while the molecular chain entanglements in the amorphous phase decreased. Changes in the deformation behavior suggested more lamellar separation occurred for the films annealed at higher temperatures. Surface morphologies of the membranes examined by SEM revealed more pore number and uniform porous structure as the annealing temperature increased. In accordance with the SEM results, the permeability of the membranes increased with annealing temperature. On the other hand, it was found that 10 min was almost enough for the annealing process to obtain the microporous membranes with an optimal permeability.     

钯团簇碰撞沉积钯/银基板的分子动力学模拟

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the microscopic processes of large palladium clusters deposited on Pd/Ag substrates at different incident velocities at the room temperature. We studied the impact process by analyzing the deposited morphology, embedded depth, diffusion degree of the cluster atoms, temperature variation in the collision region on the substrate, and energy conversion between the cluster and substrate. This analysis yielded the change rules of the deposited morphology, structural characteristics, and energy conversion for various cluster sizes, incident velocities, and substrates. Furthermore, we explored the deformation morphology of the first deposited cluster and the temperature of the collision contact region for various impact times of the second cluster. Shortening the impact time of the second cluster caused the clusters and substrate to better combine.     

Numerical simulation of large amplitude oscillatory shear of a high-density polyethylene melt using the MSF model

We study the flow response in large amplitude oscillatory shear of the molecular stress function (MSF) model that has recently been proposed by Wagner et al. [M.H. Wagner, P. Rubio, H. Bastian, The molecular stress function model for polydisperse polymer melts with dissipative convective constraint release, J. Rheol. 45 (2001) 1387–1412]. The MSF model is derived from molecular theory and has only two parameters to describe the non-linear material response. The model predictions are analysed in both the frequency and time domain. It shows good agreement with experimental data for a linear high-density polyethylene melt. At low and medium strains, MSF model predictions are in excellent agreement with experimental data and predictions of a six-mode Giesekus model which has six parameters to describe the non-linear material response. At medium strains, the basic Doi–Edwards model, which has no non-linear parameters, already underpredicts the data. At high strains, the MSF model predictions agree slightly better with the experimental data than the Giesekus model. Surprisingly, however, it is the Doi–Edwards model that shows excellent agreement with experimental data at high strains. For the linear melt we consider, it outperforms the models that have non-linear parameters, both in the time and frequency domain.     

Composite and filament models for the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials

In this work we present a composite model, which combines the approach of Poisson's function with the filament theory and requires three material parameters. We also suggest the form for a strain-energy function that approximates the constitutive equations of the composite model. Furthermore, a simple asymptotic analysis allows us to reduce the number of material constants to only two, thus, forming a new filament model. The predictive capability of the two models to reproduce the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials in deformation experiments is evaluated against the extensive data of Kawabata et al. (Macromolecules 14 (1981) 154). The models give excellent agreement in not only uniaxial and equibiaxial but also non-equibiaxial extension. Although being rather more simplistic in comparison with some successful network models involving non-Gaussian chain statistics, the two models conform much more closely to the classical experimental data of Treloar (Trans. Faraday Soc. 40 (1944) 59).
