Mechanical behavior of a pH-sensitive hydrogel ring used in a micro-optical device

A hydrogel is a polymer network that can absorb a large quantity of solvent and swell due to a physical or chemical stimulus. Hydrogels are more and more used as smart materials in recent micro-applications. This fact requires the development of adequate models and simulation tools for their large deformation behavior. These models must also predict the onset of instabilities, such as folding or creasing. In this work, we study an interesting application of adaptive optical microsystem using a previously developed theory of inhomogeneous large deformation of a pH-sensitive hydrogel. The devices function is based on the swelling of a ring made of a pH-sensitive hydrogel. The latter controls the focal length of the liquid microlens. Our aim is to analyze major design parameters that affect the hydrogel ring behavior and the function of the micro-optical device. The problem is solved numerically with the finite element commercial software ABAQUS. Various modes of large deformation and the influence of the rings aspect ratio on the behavior of the micro-device are investigated. Results show that, for relatively short rings, a stable swelling takes place. Rings with a relatively big aspect ratio can have an unstable swelling with the propagation of a creasing instability.

Resonant behavior of a membrane of a dielectric elastomer

This paper analyzes a membrane of a dielectric elastomer, prestretched and mounted on a rigid circular ring, and then inflated by a combination of pressure and voltage. Equations of motion are derived from a nonlinear field theory, and used to analyze several experimental conditions. When the pressure and voltage are static, the membrane may attain a state of equilibrium, around which the membrane can oscillate. The natural frequencies can be tuned by varying the prestretch, pressure, or voltage. A sinusoidal pressure or voltage may excite superharmonic, harmonic, and subharmonic resonance. Several modes of oscillation predicted by the model have not been reported experimentally, possibly because these modes have small deflections, despite large stretches.     

Large deformation and electrochemistry of polyelectrolyte gels

Immersed in an ionic solution, a network of polyelectrolytes imbibes the solution and swells, resulting in a polyelectrolyte gel. The swelling is reversible, and the amount of swelling is regulated by ionic concentrations, mechanical forces, and electric potentials. This paper develops a field theory to couple large deformation and electrochemistry. A specific material model is described, including the effects of stretching the network, mixing the polymers with the solvent and ions, and polarizing the gel. We show that the notion of osmotic pressure in a gel has no experimental significance in general, but acquires a physical interpretation within the specific material model. The theory is used to analyze several phenomena: a gel swells freely in an ionic solution, a gel swells under a constraint of a substrate, electric double layer at the interface between the gel and the external solution, and swelling of a gel of a small size.     

时变啮合刚度对转子—轴承系统动力特性的影响

在考虑齿轮时变啮合刚度的情况下,建立了齿轮耦合的转子－轴承系统的非线性动力学模型,用数值仿真法研究系统的稳态不平衡响应时发现,由于齿轮时变啮合刚度的影响。在系统响应中,不但会出现对应于啮合频率的响应分量,而且在某种条件下,该分量甚至超过基频分量;一个转子上的不平衡质量不仅会对本身产生激励,而且也会对其它转子产生激励。

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of C60‐carbazole Adducts

Three C₆₀‐carbazole adducts have been synthesized by 1, 3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. Intramolecular energy/electron transfer from carbazole to C₆₀ was observed by steady‐state absorption and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence spectra of these adducts were similar to each other and dependent on the excitation wavelength and solvent.

Age of granulite from Huangtuling, Dabie Mountain: Pb-Pb dating of garnet by a stepwise dissolution technique

A new stepwise dissolution scheme, involving acids with different properties, enables the selective recovery of radiogenic and common Pb from a mineral, and makes single-mineral Pb-Pb dating possible. Garnet from a granulite sample from Huangtuling, northern Dabie Mountain yields a Pb-Pb isochron age of (1998 ±35) Ma, which is interpreted as the timing of peak metamorphism of granulite facies.
