The oscillatory behavior, static and dynamic analyses of a micro/nano gyroscope considering geometric nonlinearities and intermolecular forces

The nonlinear dynamic and static deflection of a micro/nano gyroscope under DC voltages and base rotation are investigated. The gyroscope undertakes two cou- pled bending motions along the drive and sense directions and subjected to electrostatic actuations and intermolecular forces. The nonlinear governing equations of motion for the system with the effect of electrostatic force, intermolecular tractions and base rotation are derived using extended Hamilton principle. Under constant voltage, the gyroscope finds the preformed shape. First, the deflection of the rnicro/nano gyroscope under electrostatic forces is obtained by static and dynamic analyses. Furthermore, the static and dynamic in- stability of the system are investigated. Afterward the oscillatory behavior of the pre-deformed micro/nano gyroscope around equilibrium is studied. The effects of intermolecular and nonlinear parameters on the static and dynamic de- flection, natural frequencies and instability of the micro/nano gyroscope are studied. The presented model can be used to exactly determine static and the dynamic behavior of vibratory micro/nano gyroscopes.     

Shape gradient and classical gradient of curvatures: driving forces on micro/nano curved surfaces

Recent experiments and molecule dynamics simulations have shown that adhesion droplets on conical surfaces may move spontaneously and directionally. Besides, this spontaneous and directional motion is independent of the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the conical surfaces. Aimed at this important phenomenon, a general theoretical explanation is provided from the viewpoint of the geometrization of micro/nano mechanics on curved surfaces. In the extrinsic mechanics on micro/nano soft curved surfaces, we disclose that the curvatures and their extrinsic gradients form the driving forces on the curved spaces. This paper focuses on the intrinsic mechanics on micro/nano hard curved surfaces and the experiment on the spontaneous and directional motion. Based on the pair potentials of particles, the interactions between an isolated particle and a micro/nano hard curved surface are studied, and the geometric foundation for the interactions between the particle and the hard curved surface is analyzed. The following results are derived: (a) Whatever the exponents in the pair potentials may be, the potential of the particle/hard curved surface is always of the unified curvature form, i.e., the potential is always a unified function of the mean curvature and the Gaussian curvature of the curved surface. (b) On the basis of the curvature-based potential, the geometrization of the micro/nano mechanics on hard curved surfaces may be realized. (c) Similar to the extrinsic mechanics on micro/nano soft curved surfaces, in the intrinsic mechanics on micro/nano hard curved surfaces, the curvatures and their intrinsic gradients form the driving forces on the curved spaces. In other words, either on soft curved surfaces or hard curved surfaces and either in the extrinsic mechanics or the intrinsic mechanics, the curvatures and their gradients are all essential factors for the driving forces on the curved spaces. (d) The direction of the driving force induced by the hard curved surface is independent of the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the curved surface, explaining the experimental phenomenon of the spontaneous and directional motion.     

Feasibility study on strengthening heating effect of high power short pulse laser on biological tissue by micro/nano metal particles

A new method for enhancing the heating effect of high power short pulse laser on biological tissue by micro/nano metal particles was proposed. Theoretical analysis of the influences of the micro/nano particle kind, the concentration and the microcosmic distribution of micro/nano particles on the temperature response was carried out with a multi-layer hyperbolic heat conduction model with volumetric heat generation. The results indicate that embedding micro/nano particles could improve the surface temperature increase of biological tissue with short duration and reduce the deeper material temperature under the same heating condition, which would help strengthen the heating effects of high power short pulse laser on biological tissue. This study may open a new technical approach for improving laser applications.

CURVATURE-BASED INTERACTION POTENTIAL BETWEEN MICRO/NANO PLANAR CURVE AND PARTICLE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE CURVE

Based on the negative exponential pair-potential(1/R)n, the interaction potential between the micro/nano planar curve and the particle located outside the curve is studied. We verified that, whatever the value of exponent n may be, the potential of particle/plane-curve is always of unified curvature form. Furthermore, we proved that the driving forces acted on the particle may be induced by the highly curved micro/nano curve, and the curvature and gradient of curvature are confirmed to be the essential factors forming the driving force. Through the idealized numerical experiments, the accuracy and reliability of the curvature-based potential are examined.

Analysis of nano channel formation in quartz cubes by laser-induced process

A novel laser processing technique was developed for making channels in the nano regime in this paper. A Nd:YAG laser was used to dry fabricate micro channels (25μm～100μm di ameter) in a 1 cm^3 fused silica substrate by thermal-induced processing. By controlling the locations of these initiating micro channels on a silica cube, 1D-controllable self-connecting nano fractures can be formed as rectangular channels. These nano channels are smooth and with extremely high aspect ratio (～10^4 depth to width ratio). A possible mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of the nano channels. This laser-based nano channel fabrication technique is fast and inexpensive, and with potential applications in capillary electrophoresis and electro-osmosis driven nano-filtration.     

An estimation method of bearing strength of bolted joints in fibre reinforced composite

Some researchers have estimated the strength of bolted joints in fibre reinforced composite, using simple and efficient engineering procedures.

In this paper, a method is presented for predicating critical bearing strength of single-hole bolted joints in composite on the basis of observing and analysing the results of experiments. The clamping effect of bolts is considered. The calculated results correspond to the test data on Glaphic/Epoxy laminates.

Application of Ritz functions in buckling analysis of embedded orthotropic circular and elliptical micro/nano-plates based on nonlocal elasticity theory

A continuum model based on the nonlocal theory of elasticity is developed for buckling analysis of embedded orthotropic circular and elliptical micro/nano-plates under uniform in-plane compression. The nanoplate is considered to be rested on two-parameter Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation. The principle of virtual work is used to derive the governing vibration and stability equations. The weighted residual statements of the equations of motion are performed and the well-known Galerkin method is employed to obtain the nonlocal “Quadratic Functional” for embedded micro/nano-plates. The Ritz functions are taken to form an expression for transverse displacement which satisfies the kinematic boundary conditions. In this way, the entire nanoplate is considered as a single super-continuum element. Employing the Ritz functions eliminates the need for mesh generation and thus large number of degrees of freedom arising in discretization methods such as finite element (FE). The results show obvious dependency of critical buckling loads on the non-locality of the micro/nano elliptical plate, especially, at very small dimensions.     

Analytical modeling of static behavior of electrostatically actuated nano/micromirrors considering van der Waals forces

In this paper,the effect of van der Waals(vdW)force on the pull-in behavior of electrostatically actuatednano/micromirrors is investigated.First,the minimum potential energy principle is utilized to find the equation governing the static behavior of nano/micromirror under electrostatic and vdW forces.Then,the stability of static equilibrium points is analyzed using the energy method.It is foundthat when there exist two equilibrium points,the smaller oneis stable and the larger one is unstable.The effects of different design parameters on the mirror’s pull-in angle andpull-in voltage are studied and it is found that vdW forcecan considerably reduce the stability limit of the mirror.Atthe end,the nonlinear equilibrium equation is solved numerically and analytically using homotopy perturbation method(HPM).It is observed that a sixth order perturbation approximation can precisely model the mirror’s behavior.The results of this paper can be used for stable operation design andsafe fabrication of torsional nano/micro actuators.

In this short note, general formulations of the Toupin–Mindlin strain gradient theory in orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems are derived, and are then specified for the cases of cylindrical coordinates and spherical coordinates. Expressions convenient for practical use are presented for the corresponding equilibrium equations, boundary conditions, and the physical components for strains and strain gradients in the two coordinate systems. The results obtained in this paper are general and complete, and can be useful for a wide range of applications, such as asymptotic crack tip field analysis, cylindrical and spherical cavity expansion problems, and the interpretation of micro/nano indentation tests and bending/twisting tests on small scales.

One-dimensional nonlocal and gradient elasticity: Closed-form solution and size effect

The equivalence between nonlocal and gradient elasticity models is investigated by making reference to one-dimensional boundary value problems equipped with two integral stress–strain laws proposed by Eringen (Nonlocal Continuum Field Theories (2002)). Corresponding closed-form solutions are derived through a procedure for the reduction of integral to differential equations. The reproduction of size effects in micro/nano rods is discussed. The differential formulation associated with the local/nonlocal model is shown to correspond to the strain-gradient formulation proposed by Aifantis (Mech. Mater. 35 (2003) 259–280).
