强流脉冲下重复滑动电接触界面的电热特性

固体电枢电磁轨道发射中,膛内枢轨滑动电接触的电热特性关系到滑动界面的接触状态、电流传导品质和界面能量耗散,制约着系统效率和轨道寿命。设计开展了多组不同电流线密度的多发重复试验,通过采集电气试验数据进行迭代计算,得到了滑动接触电阻和界面焦耳热耗散功率的动态变化规律,分析了沉积物随重复发射的演变及电流线密度对电热特性的影响规律,并结合试验后轨道表面熔蚀沉积检测,讨论了滑动电接触界面的演变过程。结果表明:接触电阻稳定临界点和焦耳热耗散功率峰值点都出现在脉冲电流下降沿,接触电阻稳定值量级为10-2 mΩ,焦耳热功率峰值幅值可达10-1 MW;炮口速度随重复次数的增加而降低并趋于稳定,多次重复发射对滑动接触电阻和焦耳热功率较小的影响表明沉积物在发射中再次熔融并对电接触起积极作用;而即使输入能量一致,电流线密度的变化也显著影响了界面焦耳热的生成。     

摩擦导致的聚合物表层微观结构改变

应用大规模分子动力学方法, 模拟了锥形探头在非晶态聚合物薄膜表面的滑动摩擦过程, 研究了摩擦导致的聚合物薄膜表层微观结构改变, 以及探头与基体间黏着作用、滑动速度和分子链长度对基体表层微观结构改变的影响. 当探头与基体之间为黏着作用时, 摩擦导致基体表面滑痕区域的键取向沿滑动方向重新取向, 导致表层分子链回转半径沿滑动方向伸长, 并且这些表层微观结构的改变程度随滑动速度的减小而增大. 在摩擦导致结构改变的过程中, 链端单体和链中单体的贡献作用不同, 形成了不同的分子链拉伸变形机制. 当样本缠结度较大或探头滑动速度较小时, 相比于链中单体, 探头对链端单体的拖曳作用使更多分子链发生拉伸变形. 研究还发现, 在探头与聚合物薄膜系统中, 使薄膜表层微观结构发生改变是摩擦能量耗散的重要途径.     

界面羟基对碳纳米管摩擦行为和能量耗散的影响

本文采用分子动力学模拟研究了羟基对碳纳米管摩擦和能量耗散方式的影响.研究结果表明:由于界面间氢键的形成,碳纳米管所受的平均摩擦力明显增大;随着羟基比例的改变,界面间氢键的数量与摩擦力的变化趋势一致;碳纳米管的手性角对摩擦力有一定的影响,扶手椅型碳纳米管所受的摩擦力比其他类型的碳纳米管的大;直径对摩擦力的影响较大,直径越大界面间的摩擦力越大,其原因是大直径的碳纳米管底部变平导致界面接触面积增大;界面接枝羟基后,体系的声子态密度中出现羟基的振动峰;随羟基比例的增加,羟基的振动在能量耗散中起到更为重要的作用,当碳纳米管和硅基底的羟基比例为10%/20%时,体系能量耗散的主要途径由碳纳米管和硅基底的振动转变为羟基的振动.     

摩擦微观能量耗散机理的复合振子模型研究

提出无磨损界面摩擦微观能量耗散机理的复合振子模型，指出滑动摩擦过程同时存在整体做低频弹性振动的宏观振子和界面原子受激励产生热振动的微观振子，并在此基础上分析了宏观振子和微观振子对摩擦能量耗散的不同影响. 通过对界面原子的动力学分析，指出摩擦过程界面激励力的频率是能量转换的关键:在平衡力作用阶段，界面作用力的频率趋于零，因而可以直接作用到每个原子，力的作用效果是整体和均匀的；在失稳跳跃阶段,由于界面激励力的频率极高，造成摩擦界面原子获得的能量分布很不均匀，从而产生不可逆的能量耗散过程. 与目前通用的独立振子模型比较，复合振子模型能够更准确描述摩擦能量耗散过程，可为摩擦控制提供理论指导. 关键词： 摩擦 能量耗散机理 复合振子模型 独立振子模型     

温度对马氏体和铁素体晶格常数影响规律

采用同步辐射技术研究了温度对马氏体和铁素体晶格常数的影响规律.研究结果表明,马氏体和铁素体的晶格常数均随着温度的升高而逐渐增大,但马氏体的衍射峰有分峰现象,而铁素体的衍射峰没有分峰现象.对马氏体的{110}和{200}衍射峰进行分峰处理,得到马氏体晶格常数a和c随温度升高逐渐增大,但晶格常数a的增大速度要大于c的速度,即马氏体的正方度逐渐降低.当温度升至500℃时,马氏体正方度c/a=1.铁素体的晶格常数随温度的变化规律与马氏体晶格常数a的基本相同,而与马氏体晶格常数c的明显不同,表明了温度对马氏体晶格常数的影响本质.除此以外,通过对同步辐射数据的分析,建立了马氏体和铁素体晶格常数随温度变化的数值方程.     

纳米级随机粗糙表面微观滑动摩擦力的计算研究

表面形貌很大程度上决定了摩擦副的摩擦性能, 而所有的表面都不可能是绝对光滑的.由于摩擦表面形貌的随机性, 决定了实际的摩擦过程具有随机性的特点, 因此为了获得与随机形貌对应的摩擦特性, 建立合理的随机摩擦模型是必要的. 本文基于Lennard-Jones势能建立了纳米级随机粗糙表面和原子级光滑的刚性平面间的随机摩擦模型; 模型中, 界面势能由法向载荷和界面间平衡距离决定.通过数值计算的方法, 推导了微观滑动摩擦力的计算公式和摩擦力与法向载荷之间的关系. 研究结果表明摩擦力随着法向载荷的增加而增加, 但不是线性增长. 结果也说明界面间的表面势能可能是微观摩擦力的本质起源. 关键词： 随机粗糙表面 Lennard-Jones势能 微滑动摩擦力 微摩擦     

含有倾斜界面硅/锗超晶格的导热性能

采用非平衡分子动力学(NEMD)方法模拟含有倾斜界面的硅/锗(Si/Ge)超晶格在不同倾斜角、不同周期长度、不同样本长度和不同温度下的导热性能.模拟结果表明, Si/Ge超晶格的热导率随着界面倾斜角的增加而非单调变化.当周期长度为4—8原子层时,界面倾斜角为45°的热导率比其他界面倾斜角时热导率增大了一个数量级,且热导率随样本长度的增加而增加,随温度的增加而减小.然而当周期长度为20原子层时,由于声子局域化的存在,热导率对样本长度和温度的依赖性都较弱.     

Observed transition from linear to non-linear friction-load behavior using a lateral force microscope

The most commonly observed friction behavior for sliding systems is that described by Amontons laws of friction. In this case, sliding friction is independent of the gross or apparent area of contact between the materials and a linear function of the applied normal load, where the constant of proportionality is called the friction coefficient. However, for dry sliding solids in contact via a single-asperity junction, Amontons (linear) friction-load behavior is not strictly relevant. In experiments measuring sliding friction between a silicon tip and a quartz surface using an atomic force microscope (AFM), a transition from linear to non-linear friction-load behavior has been observed. This is proposed to result from a nanoscale ‘conditioning’ of a multiple-contact tip-surface interface to form a single-asperity contact.

Dry sliding wear characteristics of in situ synthesized Al-TiC composites

Abstract

Aluminum-based composites containing 0.06, 0.09, 0.12 fractions of in situ-synthesized TiC (Titanium carbide) particles have been prepared through in-melt reaction from Ai–SiC–Ti system following a simple and cost-effective stir-casting route. The TiC forms by the reaction of Ti with carbon which is released by SiC at temperatures greater than 1073 K. However, some amount of titanium aluminide (Al₃Ti) is also formed. The formation of TiC has been confirmed through X-ray diffraction studies of the composite. The hardness and tensile strength have been found to increase with increasing amount of TiC. The friction and wear characteristics of the composites have been determined by carrying out dry sliding tests on pin-on-disc machine at different loads of 9.8 N, 19.6 N, 29.4 N, 39.2 N at a constant sliding speed of the 1 m/s speed. The wear rate i.e. volume loss per unit sliding distance has been found to increase linearly with increasing load following Archard’s law. However, both the wear rate and friction coefficient have been observed to decrease with increasing amount of TiC in the composite. This has been attributed to (i) a relatively higher hardness of composites containing relatively higher amount of TiC resulting in a relatively lower real area of contact and (ii) the formation of a well-compacted mechanically mixed layer of compacted wear debris on the worn surface which might have inhibited metal–metal contact and resulted in a lower wear rate as well as friction coefficient.     

Effects of non-flat contact and interference on self-assembled monolayers under sliding friction

The nanotribology mechanism of alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAM) chemisorbed on a gold surface under a non-flat contact by a tilt plane was studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The molecular trajectories, tilt angles, normal forces, shear forces, and frictional coefficient of the SAM were evaluated during the friction and relaxation processes for various parameters, including the tilt angle of the slider, interference magnitude, and SAM length. At the nanoscale, the magnitude of interface interactional forces is strongly dependent on the magnitude of the contact area, not on the surface geometry. The contact area and the exerted normal force of the SAM increase with decreasing the tilt angle of the slider at the same contact interference. In contrast, the periods in both normal force and shear force are gradually delayed as the tilt angle of the slider increases. Once the contact interference increases, the normal force and shear force increase together. During the sliding friction process with a smaller tilt slider angle, SAM molecules can maintain a better collective ordered structure. Short SAM molecules are more sensitive to a compressive loading and react to a larger normal force under the same contact interference due to the deformation of a larger tilt angle and decrease in chain length. The friction coefficient of SAM is significantly more dependent on the tilt angle of the slider than the contact interference.     

Very low friction for natural diamond in water of different pH values

Very high reductions in the friction coefficient are reported for natural diamond sliding upon natural diamond when water is introduced at the interface of contact. This reduction is found to depend on the pH value of the water, the load and the sliding velocity. The results are interpreted in terms of the reduction of adhesion due to adsorption of the liquid on the surface, and of graphitisation occurring during sliding, with graphite acting as a lubricant.

Static friction of sinusoidal surfaces: a discrete dislocation plasticity analysis

Discrete dislocation plasticity simulations are carried out to investigate the static frictional response of sinusoidal asperities with (sub)-microscale wavelength. The surfaces are first flattened and then sheared by a perfectly adhesive platen. Both bodies are explicitly modelled, and the external loading is applied on the top surface of the platen. Plastic deformation by dislocation glide is the only dissipation mechanism active. The tangential force obtained at the contact when displacing the platen horizontally first increases with applied displacement, then reaches a constant value. This constant is here taken to be the friction force. In agreement with several experiments and continuum simulation studies, the friction coefficient is found to decrease with the applied normal load. However, at odds with continuum simulations, the friction force is also found to decrease with the normal load. The decrease is caused by an increased availability of dislocations to initiate and sustain plastic flow during shearing. Again in contrast to continuum studies, the friction coefficient is found to vary stochastically across the contact surface, and to reach locally values up to several times the average friction coefficient. Moreover, the friction force and the friction coefficient are found to be size-dependent.     

Comparative Study of Tribological Properties of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Polyethersulfone (PES), and Polysulfone (PSU)

The tribological properties of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU), which have similar molecular structures, were investigated using an end-face contact tribometer and a reciprocating tribometer. The thermomechanical behavior of the polymers was analyzed using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). PPS exhibited a maximum friction coefficient with increasing load and sliding speed, while the friction coefficients of PES and PSU decreased only slightly. The wear rate of PPS was much lower than that of PES and PSU under high loads and speeds. It is suggested that the main factors influencing the friction and wear properties of the neat polymers are their condensed state and heat resistance. Amorphous PES and PSU showed liquid-like behavior and very low friction when the frictional surface was in the molten-flow state. The macromolecular crystals of crystallizable PPS give it some solid-like behavior and load-carrying capacity; hence PPS exhibited lower wear than PES and PSU.     

Transition from stick-slip to continuous sliding in atomic friction: entering a new regime of ultralow friction

A transition from stick-slip to continuous sliding is observed for atomically modulated friction by means of a friction force microscope. When the stick-slip instabilities cease to exist, a new regime of ultralow friction is encountered. The transition is described in the framework of the Tomlinson model using a parameter eta which relates the strength of the lateral atomic surface potential and the stiffness of the contact under study. Experimentally, this parameter can be tuned by varying the normal load on the contact. We compare our results to a recently discussed concept called superlubricity.     

掺硅类金刚石薄膜摩擦过程的分子动力学模拟

掺硅类金刚石(Si-DLC) 薄膜表现出优异的摩擦学性能, 在潮湿空气和高温中显示出极低的摩擦系数和很好的耐磨性, 但是许多实验表明Si-DLC膜的摩擦性能受其硅含量的影响很大. 因此, 本文采用分子动力学模拟的方法分别研究干摩擦和油润滑两种情况下不同硅含量的Si-DLC膜的摩擦过程. 滑移结果表明干摩擦时DLC膜和掺硅DLC膜之间生成了一层转移膜, 而油润滑时则为边界膜. 因此干摩擦时的摩擦力明显大于油润滑时的摩擦力. 少量添加硅确实能降低DLC膜的摩擦力, 但是硅含量大于20%后对DLC膜的摩擦行为几乎无影响. 干摩擦时硅含量对转移膜内键的数量影响很大, 转移膜内CC键和CSi键都先增加后减少, 滑移结束时几乎不含CSi键.
