Adhesion of micro-cantilevers subjected to mechanical point loading: modeling and experiments

This paper presents experimental and theoretical results that characterize the adhesion of MEMS cantilevers by means of mechanical actuation. Micro-cantilever beams are loaded at various locations along the freestanding portion of the beam using a nanoindenter. Transitions between three equilibrium configurations (freestanding, arc-shaped, and s-shaped beams) and the response to cyclic loading are studied experimentally. The resulting mechanical response is used to estimate the interface adhesion energy (using theoretical models), and to quantify the energy dissipated during cyclic loading. The experiments reveal interesting behaviors related to adhesion: (i) path dependence during mechanical loading of adhered beams, (ii) history dependence of interfacial adhesion energy during repeated loading, and (iii) energy dissipation during cyclic loading, which scales roughly with estimated cyclic changes in the size of the adhered regions. The experimental results are interpreted in the context of elementary fracture-based adhesion and contact models, and briefly discussed in terms of their implications regarding the nature of adhesion and future modeling to establish adhesion mechanisms.

Regulation of Cell Adhesion Free Energy by External Sliding Forces

Cells experience a variety of forces and external velocities in vivo. While a number of continuum based models have addressed cell substrate interactions in these dynamic environments, a molecular picture of adhesion under external sliding forces and velocities is lacking. Using a molecular thermodynamic model, that incorporates entropic and steric repulsions, molecular conformations and constraints, penetrable substrates and explicit binding interactions, we study the effect of external sliding velocities on cell adhesion. We map the free energy landscapes under a broad range of external forces, binding energies and receptor surface coverages. Our calculations predict the regimes where free energy landscapes become resistant to external forces. Our model shows good agreement with experimental studies and lays out a scalable framework for analyzing and quantifying a broad spectrum of in vivo and in vitro adhesion studies.     

Two-dimensional planar flow of a viscoelastic plastic medium

The present study is concerned with finite element simulation of the planar entry flow of a viscoelastic plastic medium exhibiting yield stress. The numerical scheme is based on the Galerkin formulation. Flow experiments are carried out on a carbon black filled rubber compound. Steady-state pressure drops are measured on two sets of contraction or expansion dies having different lengths and a constant contraction or expansion ratio of 4:1 with entrance angles of 90, 45 and 15 degrees. The predicted and measured pressure drops are compared. The predicted results indicate that expansion flow has always a higher pressure drop than contraction flow. This prediction is in agreement with experimental data only at low flow rates, but not at high flow rates. The latter disagreement is possibly an indication that the assumption of fully-developed flow in the upstream and downstream regions is not realistic at high flow rates, even for the large length-to-thickness ratio channels employed. The evolution of the velocity, shear stress, and normal stress fields in the contraction or expansion flow and the location of pseudo-yield surfaces are also calculated.     

Transient free‐surface flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a narrow channel

The interplay between inertia and elasticity is examined for transient free‐surface flow inside a narrow channel. The lubrication theory is extended for the flow of viscoelastic fluids of the Oldroyd‐B type (consisting of a Newtonian solvent and a polymeric solute). While the general formulation accounts for non‐linearities stemming from inertia effects in the momentum conservation equation, and the upper‐convected terms in the constitutive equation, only the front movement contributes to non‐linear coupling for a flow inside a straight channel. In this case, it is possible to implement a spectral representation in the depthwise direction for the velocity and stress. The evolution of the flow field is obtained locally, but the front movement is captured only in the mean sense. The influence of inertia, elasticity and viscosity ratio is examined for pressure‐induced flow. The front appears to progress monotonically with time. However, the velocity and stress exhibit typically a strong overshoot upon inception, accompanied by a plug‐flow behaviour in the channel core. The flow intensity eventually diminishes with time, tending asymptotically to Poiseuille conditions. For highly elastic liquids the front movement becomes oscillatory, experiencing strong deceleration periodically. A multiple‐scale solution is obtained for fluids with no inertia and small elasticity. Comparison with the exact (numerical) solution indicates a wide range of validity for the analytical result.

Adhesion and friction of an elastic half-space in contact with a slightly wavy rigid surface

The paper deals with the estimation of the pressure distribution, the shape of contact and the friction force at the interface of a flat soft elastic solid moving on a rigid half-space with a slightly wavy surface. In this case an unsymmetrical contact is considered and justified with the adhesion hysteresis. For soft solids as rubber and polymers the friction originates mainly from two different contributions: the internal friction due to the viscoelastic properties of the bulk and the adhesive processes at the interface of the two solids. In the paper the authors focus on the latter contribution to friction. It is known, indeed, that for soft solids, as rubber, the adhesion hysteresis is, at least qualitatively, related to friction: the larger the adhesion hysteresis the larger the friction. Several mechanisms may govern the adhesion hysteresis, such as the interdigitation process between the polymer chains, the local small-scale viscoelasticity or the local elastic instabilities. In the paper the authors propose a model to link, from the continuum mechanics point of view, the friction to the adhesion hysteresis. A simple one-length scale roughness model is considered having a sinusoidal profile. For partial contact conditions the detached zone is taken to be a mode I propagating crack. Due to the adhesion hysteresis, the crack is affected by two different values of the strain energy release rate at the advancing and receding edges respectively. As a result, an unsymmetrical contact and a friction force arise. Additionally, the stability of the equilibrium configurations is discussed and the adherence force for jumping out of contact and the critical load for snapping into full contact are estimated.     

Adhesion between elastic cylinders based on the double-Hertz model

A cohesive zone model for two-dimensional adhesive contact between elastic cylinders is developed by extending the double-Hertz model of Greenwood and Johnson (1998). In this model, the adhesive force within the cohesive zone is described by the difference between two Hertzian pressure distributions of different contact widths. Closed-form analytical solutions are obtained for the interfacial traction, deformation field and the equilibrium relation among applied load, contact half-width and the size of cohesive zone. Based on these results, a complete transition between the JKR and the Hertz type contact models is captured by defining a dimensionless transition parameter μ, which governs the range of applicability of different models. The proposed model and the corresponding analytical results can serve as an alternative cohesive zone solution to the two-dimensional adhesive cylindrical contact.     

Linear viscoelastic model for bending and torsional modes in fluid membranes

This paper develops and applies a linear viscoelastic model for bending and torsional modes of fluid membranes, based on the nonlinear Cosserat surface fluid model. The linearized fluid membrane model in spherical and cylindrical geometries is shown to decouple bending and torsional viscoelastic modes. It is found that solutions of the membrane viscoelastic model to small-amplitude oscillatory bending and torsion allows for the measurement of the bending and the torsion viscosity. The model and its potential in characterizing the bending and torsion viscoelasticity of membranes complements the on-going efforts to establish the role of curvature in dissipative process of biological membranes.

Stretching surface in rotating viscoelastic fluid

The boundary layer flow over a stretching surface in a rotating viscoelastic fluid is considered. By applying a similarity transformation, the governing partial differ- ential equations are converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations before being solved numerically by the Keller-box method. The effects of the viscoelastic and rotation parameters on the skin friction coefficients and the velocity profiles are thor- oughly examined. The analysis reveals that the skin friction coefficients and the velocity in the x-direction increase as the viscoelastic parameter and the rotation parameter in- crease. Moreover, the velocity in the y-direction decreases as the viscoelastic parameter and the rotation parameter increase.

Run-up and spin-up in a viscoelastic fluid. IV

Three problems are discussed — run-up when the fluid is contained between infinite parallel plates and longitudinal run-up and spin-up when it is contained in an infinitely long circular cylinder. The procedure adopted for solving these problems differs from that employed in Part I of this series, where these three problems were previously discussed, and yields results for the velocity fields in quite different forms. It is similar to that used in Part III in the context of the problem of run-up between parallel plates.     

Run-up and spin-up in a viscoelastic fluid. III

The problem is discussed of run-up in an incompressible viscoelastic fluid contained between infinite parallel rigid plates which are simultaneously given equal parallel velocities. The problem is analyzed in terms of the disturbances which spread from the boundaries into the fluid and are reflected back and forth at the boundaries.     

Pressure wave propagation in liquid-filled tubes of viscoelastic material

The propagation of small-amplitude waves in a thick-walled long viscoelastic tube of variable cross-section, filled with a viscous incompressible fluid, is considered with account for wave reflection at the tube end in application to arterial pulse wave propagation. A solution is obtained in the form of expansions in a small parameter. The effect of the coefficient of wave reflection at the tube end and the wall material parameters on the fluid volume flow-rate and the tube wall displacement is investigated. It is shown that the volume flow-rate phase spectrum characteristics depend only slightly on the wall properties and can be used in clinical diagnostics for finding the reflection coefficient from pressure and flow-rate records.     

Computation of viscoelastic cable coating flows

A viscoelastic analysis is presented for model tube tooling, draw-down and combined geometry flows encountered in the cable coating industries. The work investigates the development of stress fields and studies the effect of varying entry flow stress boundary conditions. The analysis takes into account tube tooling and draw-down flow sections individually, and in combination. The flow behaviour of cable-coating grade low density polyethylene is studied assuming a viscoelastic, isothermal flow, and employing a Taylor–Petrov–Galerkin finite element scheme with an exponential Phan-Thien–Tanner constitutive model. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
