数字全息计量技术及其在微小位移测量中的应用

数字全息是用数字的方式记录和处理全息图像，避免了传统全息照相的化学处理，既简化了处理过程，更便于用数字图像处理的方式来改进图像质量和提取信息。数字全息干涉计量技术是一种全场、非接触的光学测量方法，该方法测量精度高，光路简单，对防振要求低，实验条件容易满足，特别适合微小物体的微小位移或变形的精确测量。本文运用数字全息干涉计量法测定了两端固支梁的微小离面位移；经实验验证数字全息计量术能精确测量物体0．01微米量级位移或变形；而且该方法可靠性好、成本低；是非接触的无损测量。数字全息计量技术的这些特点使得该技术在小物体的微小变形测量上具有特别的优越性，因而在MEMS结构及MEMS材料参数(如弹性模量、泊松比、热变形系数等)的测定中有广阔的应用前景。     

材料力学性能显微测试系统

介绍了适用于毫、微米量级材料的力学性能测试系统,该系统包括微型加力装置、显微镜及数字图像处理系统。通过计算机控制,加力机构可以对微小试件按力或位移控制方式加载,载荷大小通过传感器直接由计算机数字化。试件的变形测量采用数字图像相关技术,通过序列图像分析方式,获得试件在不同外力作用下对应的变形,从而获得该材料的应力应变关系。在利用显微镜对微细观图像进行放大时,图像的畸变会影响相关计算的精度,本文采用了精度极高的正交栅板,对成像系统进行标定,有效地消除了高放大倍数下的图像畸变。图像相关技术对被测物体的表面处理非常敏感,本文也对这一问题进行了讨论,并给出两个不同的应用实例。第一个为材料性能试验,对厚度为0.1mm的铝材进行单向拉伸,给出了材料的应力应变关系;第二个为稳态裂纹扩展试验,对用人牙制作的紧凑拉伸试件进行测试,获得裂尖后的COD曲线。实验表明,该测试系统在微细观力学实验中具有广阔的应用前景。

Aerodynamic Coefficients and Deformation Measurements on Flexible Micro Air Vehicle Wings

This paper documents the elastic deformations and corresponding aerodynamic coefficients of flexible wings used for micro air vehicles (MAVs). These low-aspect ratio wings, developed and fabricated at the University of Florida, incorporate an elastic latex membrane skin covering a thin carbon fiber skeleton. The wings were tested in a unique low-speed wind tunnel facility integrating a visual image correlation (VIC) system with a six-component strain gauge sting balance. Model characteristics are presented, along with the appropriate specimen preparation techniques and wind tunnel instrumentation. The static response characteristics, including full-field displacements and plane strain measurements, for three distinct MAV wing designs are presented. The full-field deformation results show how passive wing flexibility preferably affects aerodynamic performance when compared to a rigid model of similar geometry.     

Fracture of bicrystal metal/ceramic interfaces: A study via the mechanism-based strain gradient crystal plasticity theory

Two continuum mechanical models of crystal plasticity theory namely, conventional crystal plasticity theory and mechanism-based crystal plasticity theory, are used to perform a comparative study of stresses that are reached at and ahead of the crack tip of a bicrystal niobium/alumina specimen. Finite element analyses are done for a stationary crack tip and growing cracks using a cohesive modelling approach. Using mechanism-based strain gradient crystal plasticity theory the stresses reached ahead of the crack tip are found to be two times larger than the stresses obtained from conventional crystal plasticity theory. Results also show that strain gradient effects strongly depend on the intrinsic material length to the size of plastic zone ratio (l/R₀). It is found that the larger the (l/R₀) ratio, the higher the stresses reached using mechanism-based strain gradient crystal plasticity theory. An insight into the role of cohesive strength and work of adhesion in macroscopic fracture is also presented which can be used by experimentalists to design better bimaterials by varying cohesive strength and work of adhesion.     

Multi-scale dual-phase cyclic plasticity with quantitative transitions and size effects of layered structures

A method is developed for cyclic elastoplastic analysis across micro/meso/macro scales which is effective for the quantitative transition of physical variables and for evaluating the size effects of microstructures. By using the improved self-consistent scheme proposed by Fan^[1] and carrying out a delicate mesoscopic analysis based on a shear-lag model, the size effects including the thickness of hard and soft layers relative to the inclusion dimension are obtained on the overall elastoplastic responses of materials up to 50 cycles. The dominant characteristics of the analysis are that the characteristic dimensions of a microstructure such as the thickness of the layers and the inclusion dimension can be explicitly incorporated into the formulation. Results of numerical analysis using only 4 plastic constants show that the thicker the layer relative to the inclusion size, the softer the material in producing more plastic strain values for a given applied stress amplitude. This is in agreement with the well-known experimental rule that the yield strength of layered structures is inversely proportional to the square root of the spacing between layers. It is found that ratcheting depends very much on the size of the layered-structure and that the thinner the relative thickness of the layer the less the ratcheting displacement. This finding may be used to explain why phenomenological models on ratcheting are not quite successful so far, indicating the significance of across scale analysis in understanding issues which have existed for a long time.     

Effect of nano/micro‐mixed ceramic fillers on the dielectric and thermal properties of epoxy polymer composites

Nano/micro ceramic‐filled epoxy composite materials have been processed with various percentage additions of SiO₂, Al₂O₃ ceramic fillers as reinforcements selected from the nano and micro origin sources. Different types of filler combinations, viz. only nano, only micro, nano/micro, and micro/micro particles, were designed to investigate their influence on the thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and dielectric properties of epoxy polymers. Thermal expansion studies were conducted using thermomechanical analysis that revealed a two‐step expansion pattern consecutively before and after vitreous transition temperatures. The presence of micro fillers have shown vitreous transition temperature in the range 70–80°C compared with that of nano structured composites in which the same was observed as ~90°C. Similarly, the bulk thermal conductivity is found to increase with increasing percentage of micron‐size Al₂O₃. It was established that the addition of micro fillers lead to epoxy composite materials that exhibited lower thermal expansion and higher thermal conductivity compared with nano fillers. Moreover, nano fillers have a significantly decisive role in having low bulk dielectric permittivity. In this study, epoxy composites with a thermal expansion coefficient of 2.5 × 10^?5/K, thermal conductivity of 1.18 W/m · K and dielectric permittivity in the range 4–5 at 1 kHz have been obtained. The study confirms that although the micro fillers seem to exhibit good thermal conductivity and low expansion coefficient, the nano‐size ceramic fillers are candidate as cofillers for low dielectric permittivity. However, a suitable proportion of nano/micro‐mixed fillers is necessary for achieving epoxy composites with promising thermal conductivity, controlled coefficient of thermal expansion and dielectric permittivity.
