A novel electromagnetism‐assisted imprinting technology to replicate microstructures onto a large‐area curved surface using a flexible magnetic mold

Replication of microstructures from a mold onto a curved surface is difficult. The conformal contact between the mold and the substrate has to be ensured. The present study proposes an innovative mechanism, which employs an electromagnetic disk to provide magnetic force and a PDMS flexible mold with a layer compounded magnetic powder. This mechanism provides not only the gradual contact from center to edge to avoid air entrapment but also conformal contact between the mold and the substrate during the imprinting operation. A system based on this electromagnetic soft imprinting technology has been implemented, and imprinting to replicate microstructures from the mold onto a curved surface has been carried out. The results reveal that the PDMS magnetic mold and the electromagnetic disk‐controlled magnetic force can successfully perform the imprinting and accurately replicate the microstructures onto the large‐area, curved surface glass. The PDMS flexible magnetic mold incorporated with the magnetic disk can be employed to achieve the conformal contact between the mold and the substrate. In addition, due to the low surface free energy of the PDMS, the de‐molding without sticking can be easily accomplished. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A semi-analytic solution for multiple curved cracks emanating from circular hole using singular integral equation

This paper provides an elastic solution for an infinite plate containing multiple curved edge cracks emanating from a circular hole. A fundamental solution is suggested, which represents a particular solution for a concentrated dislocation in an infinite plate with the traction free hole. The generalized image method and the concept of the modified complex potentials are used in the derivation of the fundamental solution. After using the fundamental solution and placing the distributed dislocations at the prospective sites of cracks, a singular integral equation is formulated. The singular integral equation is solved by using the curve length method in conjunction with the semi-opening quadrature rule. By taking an additional point dislocation at the hole center, the number of the unknowns is equal to the number of the resulting algebraic equations. This is a particular advantage of the suggested method. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method presented. Numerical examinations are carried out and sufficient accurate results have been found.

一类无界且带不平坦界面的声波导传播计算

无界且带不平坦界面的声波导经局部正交变换和完美匹配层（PML）截断,波导计算问题可近似转化为有界且带有平坦界面的声波导的Helmholtz方程,由于利用PML进行截断,此方程为复偏微分方程,其特征函数系一般不具有正交性,故数值步进求解时,存在着局部基下坐标转换的困难．本文一方面运用共轭特征算子,通过其所对应的特征函数系与原特征函数系的正交性,给出了局部基下坐标转换的简便公式;另一方面,利用此简便公式,进行了声波导的步进计算,数值计算结果表明,所用方法切实可行．

Effects of fin pitch and tube diameter on the air-side performance of tube bank fin heat exchanger with the fins punched plane and curved rectangular vortex generators

Tube bank fin heat exchangers with vortex generators are widely used in the field of industrial applications. The effects of the fin pitch and the tube diameter on the air-side performance of the tube bank fin heat exchanger with plane rectangular vortex generators (PRVG) and curved rectangular vortex generators (CRVG) are experimentally studied in this paper. Performance comparison is carried out between the fins with PRVG and CRVG. The experimental results show that both PRVG and CRVG can effectively enhance heat transfer performance compared with the plain fin. Both the fin pitch and the tube diameter have obvious effect on f compared with the effect on Nu, especially for the fin with PRVG. The characteristics of Nu, f, and Nu/f^1/3 are different for the fins with PRVG and CRVG. The fin with CRVG has a better heat transfer performance than the fin with PRVG for all the cases studied in this paper.     

Curvature effect on droplet impacting onto hydrophobic and superhydrophobic spheres

Droplet impact on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic solid surfaces finds numerous applications, while the wide range of the parameters affecting its outcome necessitate a thorough study to reveal the underlying physics. Specific applications are related to the drop impact upon curved surfaces, such as micro-encapsulation in fluidized beds. Three-dimensional numerical simulations by applying Level-Set Method have been performed to investigate the water droplet impact on curved and flat hydrophobic and superhydrophobic substrates. Parameters such as the impact Weber number, the surface curvature and the equilibrium contact angle have been varied in order to assess their effects on the dynamics of the impact process. After providing a strong validation, it is found that impact on spherical surfaces generally presents a higher area of liquid to be in contact with the substrate with respect to the case of flat surfaces, when all other impact conditions are the same.
