Effect of interfacial stiffness on the stretchability of metal/elastomer bilayers under in-plane biaxial tension

Flexible electronic devices are often subjected to large and repeated deformation, so that their functional components such as metal interconnects need to sustain strains up to tens of percent, which is far beyond the intrinsic deformability of metal materials(～1%). To meet the stringent requirements of flexible electronics, metal/elastomer bilayers, a stretchable structure that consists of a metal film adhered to a stretchable elastomer substrate, have been developed to improve the stretch capability of metal interconnects. Previous studies have predicted that the metal/elastomer bilayers are much more stretchable than freestanding metal films. However, these investigations usually assume perfect bonding between the metal and elastomer layers. In this work, the effect of the metal/elastomer interface with a finite interfacial stiffness on the stretchability of bilayer structures is analyzed. The results show that the assumption of perfect interface(with infinite interfacial stiffness) may lead to an overestimation of the stretchability of bilayer structures. It is also demonstrated that increased adhesion between the metal and elastomer layers can enhance the stretchability of the metal layer.     

磁电复合材料中拓扑磁结构的力学调控

磁性斯格明子是在一些铁磁材料中存在的一种重要拓扑磁结构,由于其具有独特的磁-电-力-热多场耦合特性,在未来新型自旋电子器件中有着广泛的应用前景。然而,磁性斯格明子一般需要在外加磁场下才能稳定存在,极大地限制了其在自旋电子器件中的实际应用。本文基于实空间下磁电材料的相场模拟,发现铁电和铁磁复合薄膜中铁电斯格明子可以通过界面变形来稳定铁磁斯格明子。由于力电耦合效应,铁电层中铁电斯格明子的非均匀分布极化在界面产生周期性的非均匀界面变形。界面变形通过力磁耦合效应,使铁磁层中的磁性斯格明子在没有外加磁场的条件下能够稳定存在。本文的研究结果表明,基于磁电复合材料中的力-电-磁耦合效应,通过优化设计复合材料中不同组元的结构,可以实现拓扑磁结构的力学调控,从而为设计基于拓扑磁结构的新型自旋电子器件提供了新思路。

Effective mechanical properties of unidirectional composites in the presence of imperfect interface

In this paper, the equivalent inclusion method is implemented to estimate the effective mechanical properties of unidirectional composites in the presence of an imperfect interface. For this purpose, a representative volume element containing three constituents, a matrix, and interface layer, and a fiber component, is considered. A periodic eigenstrain defined in terms of Fourier series is then employed to homogenize non-dilute multi-phase composites. In order to take into account the interphase imperfection effects on mechanical properties of composites, a stiffness parameter in terms of a matrix and interphase elastic modulus is introduced. Consistency conditions are also modified accordingly in such a way that only the part of the fiber lateral stiffness is to be effective in estimating the equivalent composite mechanical properties. Employing the modified consistency equations together with the energy equivalence relation leads to a set of linear equations that are consequently used to estimate the average values of eigenstrain in non-homogeneous phases. It is shown that for composites with both soft and hard reinforcements, largest stiffness parameter that indicates complete fiber–matrix interfacial debonding causes the same equivalent lateral properties.     

Magneto-elastic modeling of composites containing chain-structured magnetostrictive particles

Magneto-elastic behavior is investigated for two-phase composites containing chain-structured magnetostrictive particles under both magnetic and mechanical loading. To derive the local magnetic and elastic fields, three modified Green's functions are derived and explicitly integrated for the infinite domain containing a spherical inclusion with a prescribed magnetization, body force, and eigenstrain. A representative volume element containing a chain of infinite particles is introduced to solve averaged magnetic and elastic fields in the particles and the matrix. Effective magnetostriction of composites is derived by considering the particle's magnetostriction and the magnetic interaction force. It is shown that there exists an optimal choice of the Young's modulus of the matrix and the volume fraction of the particles to achieve the maximum effective magnetostriction. A transversely isotropic effective elasticity is derived at the infinitesimal deformation. Disregarding the interaction term, this model provides the same effective elasticity as Mori-Tanaka's model. Comparisons of model results with the experimental data and other models show the efficacy of the model and suggest that the particle interactions have a considerable effect on the effective magneto-elastic properties of composites even for a low particle volume fraction.

Magnetostrictive/electrostrictive fracture of the piezomagnetic and piezoelectric layers in a multiferroic composite: Anti-plane case

The main purpose of the present work is to study the influences of magnetostriction, electrostriction and piezomagnetic/piezoelectric stiffening on the fracture behavior of a layered multiferroic composite. For comparison, it is assumed that there is a crack, parallel to the interface, in each layer. Methods of cosine transform and Cauchy singular integral equations are used to solve the crack problem. Numerical results of the stress intensity factor (SIF) are provided and the computational accuracy is demonstrated. Discussion on the numerical results indicates that the multiferroic composite consisting of cobalt ferrite and barium titanate layers are more prone to fracture under electric loading than under magnetic loading. In the case of magnetostriction, to increase the shear modulus of the piezomagnetic layer would raise the SIF; but to increase that of the piezoelectric layer would reduce the SIF; in the case of electrostriction, inverse results are obtained. Piezomagnetic stiffening can affect the SIF when the composite is under electrostriction; piezoelectric stiffening can influence the SIF if the composite is under magnetostriction. In addition, it is also revealed that two parallel equal cracks may shield each other even if an interface exists between them.     

Effects of interfacial properties on the ductility of polymer-supported metal films for flexible electronics

Polymer-supported metal films as interconnects for flexible, large area electronics may rupture when they are stretched, and the rupture strain is strongly dependent upon the film/substrate interfacial properties. This paper investigates the influence of interfacial properties on the ductility of polymer-supported metal films by modeling the microstructure of the metal film as well as the film/substrate interface using the method of finite elements and the cohesive zone model (CZM). The influence of various system parameters including substrate thickness, Young’s modulus of substrate material, film/substrate interfacial stiffness, strength and interfacial fracture energy on the ductility of polymer-supported metal films is systematically studied. Obtained results demonstrate that the ductility of polymer-supported metal films increases as the interfacial strength increases, but the increasing trend is affected distinctly by the interfacial stiffness.

Debonding of FRP-plated reinforced concrete beam,a bond-slip analysis. I. Theoretical formulation

External bonding of FRP plates or sheets has emerged as a popular method for strengthening reinforced concrete. Debonding along the FRP–concrete interface can lead to premature failure of the structure. In this study, a bond-slip model is established to study the interface debonding induced by a flexural crack in a FRP-plated concrete beam. The reinforced concrete beam and FRP plate are modeled as two linearly elastic Euler–Bernoulli beams bonded together through a thin layer of FRP–concrete interface. The interface layer is essentially modeled as a large fracture processing zone of which the stress–deformation relationship is described by a nonlinear bond-slip model. Three different bond-slip models (bi-linear, triangular and linear-damaging) are used. By dividing the debonding process into several stages, governing equations of interfacial shear and normal stresses are obtained. Closed-form solutions are then obtained for the interfacial shear and normal stresses and the deflection of the beam in each stage of debonding. In such a way, the proposed model unifies the whole debonding process, including elastic deformation, debonding initiation and growth, into one model. With such a superior feature, the proposed model provides an efficient and effective analytical tool to study FRP–concrete interface debonding.

Micromechanics and macromechanics of carbon nanotube-enhanced elastomers

The effects of carbon nanotubes on the mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials is investigated. The large deformation uniaxial tension and uniaxial compression stress-strain behaviors of a representative elastomer are first presented. This elastomer is then reinforced with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and the influence of weight fraction of MWNTs on the large deformation behavior of the resulting composite is quantified. The initial stiffness and subsequent strain-induced stiffening at large strains are both found to increase with MWNT content. The MWNTs are also found to increase both the tensile strength and the tensile stretch at break. A systematic approach for reducing the experimental data to isolate the MWNT contribution to the strain energy of the composite is presented. A constitutive model for the large strain deformation behavior of MWNT-elastomer composites is then developed. The effects of carbon nanotubes are modeled via a constitutive element which tracks the stretching and rotation of a distribution of wavy carbon nanotubes. The MWNT strain energy contribution is due to the bending/unbending of the initial waviness and provides the increase in initial stiffness as well as the retention and further enhancement of the increase in stiffness with large strains. The model is shown to track the stretching and rotation of the CNTs with macroscopic strain as well as predict the dependence of the macroscopic stress-strain behavior on the MWNT content for both uniaxial tension and uniaxial compression.

Influences of imperfect interfaces on effective properties of multiferroic composites with coated inclusion

In order to predict the effective properties of multiferroic composite materials, the effective material constants of multiferroic composites with the coated inclusion and imperfect interface are investigated. Based on the generalized self-consistent theory, the closed-form solutions of the effective material constants are derived. For the composites with piezomagnetic inclusion, piezoelectric coating and polymer matrix, numerical calculations are performed to present the influences of the imperfect interface cooperating with the coating on the effective material constants. From the results, it can be observed that the effective constants can be enhanced by the coating but reduced by the imperfect interface. Moreover, the coating has the shielding effects on the imperfect interface for the composite structures with its higher filling ratio.     

Effect of interphase layers on the overall elastic and conductive properties of matrix composites. Applications to nanosize inclusion

For a composite with thin interface layers between inclusions and the matrix, the effective elastic properties and the effective conductivity (thermal or electric) are almost unaffected by the layers, provided (1) the layer thickness is much smaller than the inclusion sizes and (2) the contrast between the properties of the layers and either of the phases is not overly high. For composites with nanoparticles, the interface thickness may be comparable to the particle sizes. Therefore, the effect of interfaces on the overall properties may be substantial. The controlling parameters are (1) the ratio of the interface thickness to particle sizes and (2) variability of the properties across the interface thickness. Explicit expressions constructed in the present work show that the overall elastic/conductive properties are affected, mostly, by the interface thickness (normalized to the size of the core particle) and are much less sensitive to the extent of the variation and its exact character. Similarities and differences between the elasticity and the conductivity problems are discussed.     

Nonlinear buckling of a spherical shell embedded in an elastic medium with imperfect interface

This work analyzes nonlinear buckling of a single spherical shell imperfectly bonded to an infinite elastic matrix under a compressive remote load. The inclusion is modeled using a nonlinear shell formulation and the matrix is treated as a linear elastic body. Imperfect bonding conditions are realized through a linear spring interface model. A variational method is used to derive the governing differential equations, which are cast into a tractable set of nonlinear algebraic equations using the Galerkin method. An incremental iterative technique based on the modified Newton–Raphson method is employed to find the critical load of the system. The accuracy and convergence properties of the proposed method are validated through finite element analysis. The study is relevant to the analysis of compressive failure of syntactic foams used in marine and aerospace applications. Results are specialized to glass particle-vinyl ester matrix syntactic foams to test the hypothesis as to whether microballoons’ buckling is a dominant failure mechanism in such composites under compression. Parametric studies are conducted to understand the effect of interfacial properties and inclusion wall thickness on the overall mechanical behavior of the composite. Comparisons between analytical findings and experimental results on compressive response of syntactic foams and isolated microballoons indicate that inclusion buckling is unlikely a determinant of compressive failure in vinyl ester-glass systems. In particular, the matrix is found to exert a beneficial stabilizing effect on the inclusions, which fail under brittle fracture before the onset of buckling.     

FRP-混凝土界面粘结行为的参数影响研究

FRP-混凝土界面的粘结性能对FRP加固混凝土结构力学行为和破坏模式有着重要影响。本文对表征FRP-混凝土界面粘结性能的三个重要参数(界面初始刚度、最大剪应力、界面破坏能)开展研究,通过13个单剪试件的试验考察了混凝土强度、胶层厚度和粘结长度等因素对界面粘结行为的影响,根据试验结果拟合了界面破坏能、最大剪切应力与胶层剪切刚度、混凝土强度之间的函数关系。在试验研究基础上,构建了外贴FRP-混凝土界面粘结的有限元模型。通过有限元分析考察了界面破坏能等三个参数不变的前提下,不同的局部粘结滑移本构关系对界面粘结行为的影响;进而研究了其中一个参数变化时引起的界面粘结性能改变。研究结果表明:界面粘结承载力随着胶层厚度增加而逐渐提高;胶层厚度与界面破坏能成正比,与峰值剪应力成反比;当界面破坏能等三个参数保持不变时,局部粘结滑移本构关系对FRP-混凝土界面粘结性能的影响较小;三个参数中的一个增大时将延缓界面破坏的过程。
