Abstract:

Abstract Local dielectric spectroscopy (LDS) is a scanning probe method, based on dynamic-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM), to discriminate dielectric properties at surfaces with nanometer-scale lateral resolution. Until now a sub-10 nm resolution for LDS has not been documented, that would give access to the length scale of fundamental physical phenomena such as the cooperativity length related to structural arrest in glass formers (2–3 nm). In this work, LDS performed by a peculiar variant of intermittent-contact mode of AFM, named constant-excitation frequency modulation, was introduced and extensively explored in order to assess its best resolution capability. Dependence of resolution and contrast of dielectric imaging and spectroscopy on operation parameters like probe oscillation amplitude and free amplitude, the resulting frequency shift, and probe/surface distance-regulation feedback gain, were explored. By using thin films of a diblock copolymer of polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), exhibiting phase separation on the nanometer scale, lateral resolution of at least 3 nm was demonstrated in both dielectric imaging and localized spectroscopy, by operating with optimized parameters. The interface within lamellar PS/PMMA was mapped, with a best width in the range between 1 and 3 nm. Changes of characteristic time of the secondary (β) relaxation process of PMMA could be tracked across the interface with PS.

Abstract:

To achieve a higher storage density in a hard disk drive, the fly height of the air bearing slider, as part of the magnetic spacing, has to be minimized. At an ultralow fly height, the intermittent–continuous contact at the head–disk interface (HDI) is unavoidable and directly affects the mechanical and magnetic performance of the hard disk drive, and is of great interest. The HDI wear has a nonlinear and time-varying nature due to the change of contact force and roughness. To predict the HDI wear evolution, an iterative model of Coupled Head And Disk (CHAD) wear, is developed based on the contact mechanics. In this model, a composite transient wear coefficient is adopted and multiple phases of the wear evolution are established. A comprehensive contact stiffness is derived to characterize the contact at the HDI. The abrasive and adhesive wear is calculated based on the extended Archard’s wear law. The plastic and elastic contact areas are calculated with a three-dimensional (3D) sliding contact model. Based on the CHAD wear model, for the first time, the coupling between head and disk wear evolutions is thoroughly investigated. Accelerated wear tests have also been performed to verify the disk wear effect on the slider wear. A wear coefficient drop with time is observed during the tests and it is attributed to a wear mechanism shift from abrasive to adhesive wear. A shift in the type of contact from plastic to elastic accounts for the wear mechanism change.

Abstract:

Decrease of friction in tool–chip contact zone is a key subject in metal cutting operation. Therefore, effect of ultrasonic vibration in this area is analyzed by using experimental and simulation methods. In this study, a theoretical model is firstly developed based on the shear friction model, and then sticking–sliding contact zones plus their contact lengths are defined in order to simulate conventional and ultrasonic-assisted turning. Accordingly, shear angle, sticky length, and cutting forces were measured in experiments as input parameters for the calculation of friction coefficients. As a result, intermittent contact of vibrated tool decreases the time of thermal conduction in tool–chip interface, resulting in a significant reduction in friction coefficient and contact length, particularly, in sticky region.

Abstract:

In many sliding systems, the sliding surfaces are not coextensive, so that points on one surface experience alternating periods of contact and separation. This intermittent process can be expected to influence the sliding speed at which the system is susceptible to frictionally-induced thermoelastic instability (TEI). This question is explored in the context of a simple system consisting of a rotating thin-walled cylinder whose end face slides against a rigid surface. The results show that at low Fourier number—i.e., when the frequency of the process is high compared with the thermal transient of the system—only the time-averaged frictional heat input is important and the critical speed is an inverse linear function of the proportion of time in sliding contact. At higher Fourier number, lower critical speeds are obtained, but the dependence on Fourier number is relatively weak.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to show the dynamic contact characteristics and the motor performance of several types of ultrasonic motors. First, we compare the performance of “intermittent” and “traveling” contact type ultrasonic motors by using the locally deforming rotor model. We show that the motor performances are the same when the shape of the stator’s amplitude, and the rotor’s interpenetration are the same. Then, we show that the performance of these two types of motors are different according to the effects of inertia and actual three dimensional displacement by using the FE (finite element) analysis. Finally, the effects of the teeth and a surface layer at the contact interface on the performance of the ultrasonic motor, including T-N (torque-speed) characteristics and friction loss, are analyzed.

Abstract:

A two-component, two-dimensional friction model for a lubricated line contact, operating in boundary and mixed lubrication regimes, is developed. The friction is explicitly decomposed into the solid and the fluid shear components. The solid component is due to the asperity interactions and the fluid shear arises from the lubricant present at the interface. The friction model includes the sliding velocity, the instantaneous separation of the sliding bodies, normal to the sliding direction, the normal load and fluid properties. The model is based on unsteady friction experiments carried out under constant normal loads and time-varying sliding velocities. The model is applied to quasi-steady sliding, unsteady continuous and intermittent sliding, including sticking and momentary reversals of motion. In each case it becomes possible to track the instantaneous fluid shear and solid friction components.

Abstract:

The flash temperature during intermittent head/disk contacts was measured using specially fabricated magnetoresistive heads. Microasperities were intentionally created on disk substrates, and ZrO2 was sputtered on disc surfaces as overcoat. It was found that with a disk spinning speed of 20 m/s, flash temperature could reach 50 to 100°C for transient contact (head was moving in disk radial direction), but less than 40°C for dwell on track contact (head was stationary). The contact times were in the range from submicroseconds to several microseconds, contact widths on the order of several micrometers, and temperature sensitivity coefficients in the range from 0.15 to 0.7 for a 2.5–μ high magnetoresistive sensor.

Abstract:

The feasibility of using a magnetoresistive magnetic head to determine the flash temperature of intermittent magnetic head/disk contacts is investigated. A finite difference model is developed to study the effects of the magnetoresistive sensor height, the contact power intensity and the contact duration on the temperature response characteristics of the magnetoresistive sensor. A pulsed neody-minum:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser is used as the heat source to simulate the contact and verify the model. The simulation results agree well with the theoretical model. Based on the theoretical model and laser simulation, a temperature sensitivity coefficient ζ is proposed to determine the surface temperature rise.

Abstract:

Stainless steel 304 (SS304) experiences corrosion when it is exposed to a saline atmosphere, which attains severity due to its high surface wettability. Topographical modification of metallic surfaces is an effective route to reduce wettability and thereby mitigate liquid-mediated corrosion. In this work, topographical modification of stainless steel 304 flat surface in the form of micropillars was done (pillar width: 100 μm, inter-pillar distance: 100 μm and height: 80 μm). Micropillars were fabricated by a chemical etching process. Wetting and corrosion of the micropillars was studied over long-time duration in comparison with flat surface, before and after intermittent and continuous exposures to saline water for 168 h. Wetting was characterized by measuring the static water contact angle on the test surfaces and their corrosion by electrochemical polarization tests (electrolyte: 3.5 wt.% sodium chloride solution). The relationship between the nature of wetting of the test surfaces and their corrosion was examined. Micropillars showed predominantly composite wetting over a long time, which imparted an effective resistance against corrosion over a long time to the SS304 surface. When compared to the flat surface, the corrosion rates of the micropillars were lower by two orders of magnitude, prior to and also upon long-time contact with the NaCl solution. Micropillars lowered corrosion due to composite wetting, i.e., solid-liquid-air interface that reduced the area that was in contact with the NaCl solution. The efficiency of corrosion inhibition (η) of micropillars was 88% before long-time contact, 84% after intermittent contact, and 77% after continuous contact with NaCl solution. Topographical modification in the form of micropillars that can impart composite wetting is an effective route to induce long-term anticorrosion ability to the SS304 surface.

Abstract:

Dry friction dampers are passive devices used to reduce the resonant vibration amplitudes in turbine bladed systems. In shrouded turbine blade systems, in addition to the stick- slip motion induced by dry friction during the contact state in the tangential direction, the interface also undergoes intermittent separation in the normal direction. The problem can thus be treated as a combination of impact and friction. In this work, the dynamics of dry friction damped oscillators which are representative models of dry friction damped bladed system is investigated. A one dimensional contact model which is capable of modeling the interface under constant and variable normal load is used. The steady state periodic solutions are obtained by multi - harmonic balance method (MHBM). Frequency response plots are generated for different values of normal load using the arc length continuation procedure. The MHBM solutions are validated using numerical integration. A single degree of freedom (dof) model under constant normal load with constant and variable friction coefficients, a dry friction damped two dof system under constant normal load and a two dof system under variable normal load are investigated. In the presence of variable normal load, the system shows multivalued frequency response and jump phenomenon. The optimal value of the normal load which gives minimum resonant response is also obtained.

Abstract:

This paper proposes self-loading flying head slider mechanisms to be used for information storage on magnetic disk media under noncontact start/stop mode conditions. The mechanisms consist of a zero-load negative pressure air-lubricated slider bearing, a slider suspension mechanism, and a twin-structure piezoelectric actuator as the head loading mechanism. Experimental research was carried out on fundamental flying characteristics for the slider. The dynamics of a self-loading/unloading negative pressure air-lubricated slider bearing were successfully studied in detail with a laser Doppler vibrometer. No intermittent contact between head and disk was observed in either the self-load or unload cases. A theoretical study on the self-loading phenomenon was carried out, and its conclusions were in good agreement with the experimental results. This suggests the feasibility of achieving a high head/disk interface reliability and, in particular, of overcoming problems regarding stiction and tribology between head and disk.

Abstract:

Thermal distortion in brakes due to frictional heating causes localized contact and high temperatures (hot spots) with consequent thermal damage to the sliding components. This paper examines the effect of brake design and operating parameters on the maximum temperature reached. Previous solutions for steady-state sliding are reviewed and the effects of hot spots being in intermittent contact due to the geometric design of the brake are discussed. Approximate solutions for transient thermoelastic contact are extended to the case of uniform deceleration to determine the duration of the stop for which thermoelastic effects will be significant. If the stop is sufficiently slow for hot spots to develop, the temperatures will generally be high. However, high temperatures are also reached in sufficiently rapid stops due to the high rate of energy dissipation. An optimum is found between these extremes.

Abstract:

Space mechanism is the key to success of long-term space missions. The service life of solid-lubricated space mechanisms is affected by various mechanical loads before in-orbit operation, among which the load caused by the launch vibration is the most severe one. Dynamic performance is an indication of the operating state of solid-lubricated mechanisms. The fluctuation of dynamic performances caused by the load of launch vibration is an unanswered but important question. In this paper, the fluctuation of dynamic performances of solid-lubricated rotating mechanisms for intermittent operation was studied by means of experiments and theoretical analyses. One group of rotating mechanisms for intermittent operation with solid-lubricated ball bearings were subjected to sine sweep tests and random vibration tests, followed by continuous operation test. The dynamic performance of mechanisms was obtained throughout all tests. The other group of mechanisms were studied with continuous operation test only for comparing the effects of vibration on the dynamic performance of mechanisms. At the same time, the sample moments of the dynamic performance of mechanisms were calculated and analyzed. The contact stress in the vibration tests was calculated by the Hertz theory. The fluctuation of the dynamic performances of solid-lubricated rotating mechanisms for intermittent operation caused by the load of launch vibration was then concluded with further discussion.

Abstract:

Steel cylinders were slid against flat steel disks, using a liquid lubricant, in order to study the progression of events associated with “running-in.” It was found that, when using mineral oil, the electrical contact resistance varied over a small range of high values indicating no metallic contact, whereas with engine oil a high resistance with an intermittent negligible contact resistance was found. A surface film forms from the additives in the engine oil which produces lower wear, slightly higher friction, a retarded running-in, and a rougher surface finish in the direction of sliding than does the mineral oil. A film which is composed only of Fe3O4 is formed when mineral oil is used. In addition, the mineral oil lubricated surfaces develop a conforming waviness across the sliding tracks. The oxide must have enhanced this surface conformity since it was not seen in the surfaces lubricated with engine oil. The role of the oxide may be further seen in experiments in which wear debris that accumulated in the entrance region of specimen contact was removed at frequent intervals. Little conforming waviness was seen in the latter case, suggesting that oxide which gathered in the entrance region abraded grooves in the steel surfaces. After the oxides were dislodged the friction increased and the contact resistance decreased for a time, indicating that the oxide acted like a solid lubricant.

Abstract:

Context:This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of three topologies for interconnecting Lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors in a hybrid energy storage system for use in electric residential microgrids with intermittent generation. The hybrid system’s main purpose is to prolong battery life, using the supercapacitor to handle the dynamic component of current from a pulsed current load. This work builds upon a preliminary simulation-based study, in which two semi-active topologies were compared and evaluated. Here, we add an active topology to the study and describe the operational benefits of each topology. Method:For every topology in this study, a non-isolated half-bridge bidirectional DC converter was used, and a proportional–integral (PI) double-loop linear ACC control algorithm was designed for controlling the converters. In the active topology an additional optimisation-based real-time frequencydecoupling control strategy was employed. Results:A parallel active topology allows better management of stored energy in the SC by supporting variation of SC terminal voltages with a DC converter as interface to the DC bus. Conclusions: Semi-active topologies are easier to design and control, but the operational benefits of supercapacitors require voltage variation at the terminals. This variation is made possible with an active topology.

Abstract:

A new piezoelectric inchworm actuator with screw clamping mechanisms has been developed recently for the wing folding mechanism of a small unmanned aircraft where the actuator power density is a great concern. Considering that the prototype actuator was designed just with engineering intuition and the performance optimization through experimental developments would take a vast amount of cost and time, a mathematical model was developed to investigate the actuator’s critical design parameters and optimize its presently undesirable performance. Based on the lumped parameter method reported previously, and taking full account of the detailed modeling of the complex actuator housing and the actual nonlinear behaviors from the high-force contact and friction occurring at the screw-nut interface, as well as the output performance of the main drive elements including the piezoelectric stack and hollow ultrasonic motors (HUSMs), this model was built and then was experimentally verified for its accuracy and availability. Finally, nine design parameters were studied for their individual effect on the actuator’s output using the proposed model. The simulation results indicate that the performance can be considerably improved by performing a slight modification to the prototype, and the dynamic modeling and parameter optimization methods used in this study can also serve as a useful reference for the design of similar piezoelectric inchworm actuators with intermittent clamping behaviors.

Abstract:

The 304 Stainless Steel (SS304) is severely affected by salt water corrosion due to its high surface wettability. By reducing its surface wettability, its corrosion can be reduced. To achieve this, topographical modification of the steel surface is an effective route. In this work, SS304 flat surfaces were topographically modified into microgrooves (ridge width 250 μm to 500 μm, groove width 200 μm, width ratio = ridge width/groove width >1). Wire cut electrical discharge machining was used to fabricate the microgrooves. Long-term wetting characteristics and long-term corrosion behaviour of flat surface and microgrooves were studied. The influence of the nature of wetting of the tested surfaces on their corrosion behaviour was examined. The sessile drop method and potentiodynamic polarization tests in sodium chloride (3.5 wt. % NaCl) solution (intermittent and continuous exposures for 168 h) were studied to characterize their wetting and corrosion behaviours, respectively. Topographical modification imparted long-term hydrophobicity and, as a consequence, long-term anticorrosion ability of the steel surface. Micropatterning reduced the corrosion rate by two orders of magnitude due to reduction in interfacial contact area with the corrosive fluid via composite wetting, i.e., solid–liquid–air interface. Microgrooves showed corrosion inhibition efficiency ≥88%, upon long-term exposure to NaCl solution. By comparing the wetting and corrosion behaviours of the microgrooves with those of the previously studied microgrooves (ridge width/groove width <1), it was found that the surface roughness of their ridges strongly influences their wetting and corrosion properties.

Abstract:

Compression therapy is the most important basic treatment modality in venous leg ulcers. The review focusses on the materials which are used: 1. Compression bandages, 2. Compression stockings, 3. Self-adjustable Velcro-devices, 4. Compression pumps, 5. Hybrid devices. Compression bandages, usually applied by trained staff, provide a wide spectrum of materials with different elastic properties. To make bandaging easier, safer and more effective, most modern bandages combine different material components. Self-management of venous ulcers has become feasible by introducing double compression stockings (“ulcer kits”) and self-adjustable Velcro devices. Compression pumps can be used as adjunctive measures, especially for patients with restricted mobility. The combination of sustained and intermittent compression (“hybrid device”) is a promising new tool. The interface pressure corresponding to the dosage of compression therapy determines the hemodynamic efficacy of each device. In order to reduce ambulatory venous hypertension compression pressures of more than 50 mm Hg in the upright position are desirable. At the same time pressure should be lower in the resting position in order to be tolerated. This prerequisite may be fulfilled by using inelastic, short stretch material including multicomponent bandages and cohesive surfaces, all characterized by high stiffness. Such materials do not give way when calf muscles contract during walking which leads to high peaks of interface pressure (“massaging effect”).

Full text

Abstract:

The circulatory Marangoni flow can alter the contact line deposition in evaporating colloidal droplets with pinned contact line. Marangoni flow can be induced by surfactants or thermal effects. Although both cases have been exclusively investigated, the combined effect of surfactant-induced and thermal Marangoni flows is still unknown. The lattice Boltzmann method is utilized to simulate droplet evaporation and corresponding Marangoni flow. Five equations for hydrodynamics, interface capturing, vapor concentration, temperature field, and surfactant transport are intrinsically coupled with each other. They are simultaneously solved in the lattice Boltzmann framework. A geometrical method is proposed to pin the contact line at the triple point. First, evaporation-induced and thermal Marangoni flows are successfully captured. By incorporating surfactant-induced effects, interesting flow patterns are observed. Considering the combined effect of surfactant and temperature gradient, maximum surfactant concentration and maximum temperature (local minima for surface tension) are found at the top and the edge of the droplet, respectively. The maximum surface tension is consequently located between them, and double-circulation flow is observed. If the thermal effect is eliminated, surfactant local concentrations intermittently converge to steady values so that the edge concentration becomes higher than the apex concentration. Until reaching the steady state, there are two patterns that the flow alternates between: one in the direction of the thermal Marangoni flow and the other in the opposite direction.

Abstract:

Thermoelastic instability in automotive drum brake systems is investigated using a finite layer model with one-sided frictional heating. With realistic material properties of automotive brakes, the stability behavior of the one-sided heating mode is similar to that of the antisymmetric mode of two-sided heating but the critical speed of the former is higher than that of the latter. The effects of the friction coefficient and brake material properties on the critical speeds are examined and the most influential properties are found to be the coefficient of friction and the thermal expansion coefficient of drum materials. Vehicle tests were performed to observe the critical speeds of the drum brake systems with aluminum drum materials. Direct comparisons are made between the calculation and measurement for the critical speed and hot spot spacing. Good agreement is achieved when the critical speeds are calculated using the temperature-dependent friction material properties and the reduced coefficient of friction to account for the effect of intermittent contact.

Abstract:

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are re-emerging as a safe, scalable, efficient and versatile means of large-scale energy storage. Growing adoption of renewable energy generation has ushered a new optimism regarding future reduction in fossil fuel dependency; limiting further harm dealt to the climate and wider environment. However, this momentum demands more efficient energy storage solutions to reconcile power demand and the intermittent nature of wind, solar and tidal energy generation [1]. Without proper storage, reliable back-up generation – largely provided by fossil fuels – will continue to be an unavoidable reality [2]. RFBs utilise the electrochemical properties of dissolved metal ions to store and release energy. Independent sizing of electrolyte storage tanks and flexible power delivery contributes to the flexibility of RFBs compared to alternative battery technologies [3]. RFB reactions occur at the electrode-electrolyte interface, and thus the mass transport at this interface is a critical factor in determining the overall RFB performance. Most RFBs use porous electrodes, with a popular choice of material being carbon felt (CF) due to its low cost, chemical stability and high conductivity [4], although the hydrophobic nature of some CF can cause poor electrode ‘wettability’- decreasing the contact area between the electrode and the electrolyte. Further, electrolyte depletion and asymmetric flow can lead to the presence of ‘dead spots’ where the interface is inactive. Many studies have been conducted on CF to improve the electrochemical performance, using surface treatments, compression and channel flow to improve active area, wettability, and species transport [5-7]. These each have direct impact on current density, pressure drop, overpotentials, and energy efficiency. While the flow of electrolyte in the RFB porous electrodes can be modelled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) [8], and experimentally assessed using x-ray tomography [9,10] and some optical visualisation methods [11], there are limited experimental methods which can be used on entire RFB stacks. In this study, we explore the use of electrical resistive tomography (ERT) to probe the flow of electrolyte through RFB electrodes. ERT has the advantage that it can provide a non-intrusive means of investigating the hydrodynamics of the otherwise opaque cell stack. Measurements were performed using an array of electrodes place around the perimeter of an RFB electrode chamber which contained conventional carbon felt electrodes. Sensitivity maps were generated using the COMSOL Multiphysics platform and compared with experimental measurements. The flow distribution was evaluated by using injections of concentrated KCl solutions into the background electrolyte. Overall, ERT demonstrated promise as a technique for characterising real-time flow dynamics in RFB stacks and for future research into porous electrode and flow field modifications.

Abstract:

Squeeze-film lubrication of the human ankle joint during walking is numerically analyzed, the effect of surface sliding being neglected at this stage. Biphasic mixture models are considered for synovial fluid (an ideal and viscous fluid phases) and for articular cartilage (an ideal interstitial fluid and an elastic porous matrix). In the model, the ideal fluid phase passes through the articular surface and matrix pores. The cartilage matrix is considered both normal and pathological (with primary osteoarthrosis). Calculations show that water and small solutes of synovial fluid imbibe into the articular cartilage during the stance period, while the interstitial fluid of the cartilage exudes and enriches the lubricant during the swing period in a central part of the contact at each step. Soon after the onset of walking, repeatedly near the load culmination of each step, the synovial fluid should be turned into a synovial gel and, shortly after, changed back again into a fluid there. In the pathological case, the protective synovial gel layer is quickly depleted after several steps and the surfaces may come briefly into contact in each cycle. With normal cartilage, however, the protective intermittent gel film (formed briefly at each step) maintains its thickness for a longer time. Normal cartilage also behaves more favorably, when a long walk is broken and then resumed shortly afterwards. With normal articular cartilage, maintenance of a lubricating fluid film is much aided by the cyclic nature of the loading encountered in walking, compared with the steady loading in standing where the fluid film is quickly filtered out into a protective permanent gel film.

Abstract:

Heterodyne Force Microscopy opens up a way to monitor nanoscale events with high temporal sensitivity from the quasistatic cantilever mechanical-diode response taking advantage of the beat effect. Here, a novel heterodyne ultrasonic force method is proposed, in which the cantilever is driven in amplitude-modulation mode, at its fundamental flexural eigenmode. Ultrasonic vibration in the megahertz range is additionally input at the tip-sample contact from the cantilever base and from the back of the sample. The ultrasonic frequencies are chosen in such a way that their difference is coincident with the second cantilever eigenmode. In the presence of ultrasound, cantilever vibration at the difference frequency is detected. Similarly as in heterodyne force microscopy, it is expected that the phase response yields information with increased sensitivity due to the beat effect.

Abstract:

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) offer a potentially more cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to Lithium-ion batteries for room temperature high density energy storage. To maintain the benefits of SIBs, earth abundance for all the batteries components is paramount. One promising earth abundant anode material for SIBs is tin phosphide (Sn4P3). Tin phosphides are able to retain a high specific capacity for an extended cycle life. Understanding the changes in electrochemistry within a battery as a result of cycling is crucial in the complete understanding of capacity fade mechanisms and subsequent improvement and implementation as an anode material. In this work, the main technique employed to gain this understanding is electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with distribution of relaxation times analysis (EIS-DRT). This mathematical approach to understanding traditional EIS datasets helps distinguish impedance contributions from the following processes: diffusion, counter electrodes, solid electrolyte Interfaces (SEI), and contact resistances. Tin phosphide active material was synthesized by mechanical milling, with material structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Half cells were assembled with sodium counter electrodes and cycled with intermittent EIS assessment. Capacity retention was tracked during cycling to assess electrode operation. EIS-DRT analysis was performed every 5 cycles and after the end of cycling across the anode’s voltage range (0.01-1.5 V vs Na/Na+). After cycling, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and XRD were employed to further understand changes in electrochemical activity and crystal structure associated with the end of cycle life. The evolution of impedance signatures across the initial five cycles exhibits significant shifting within the SEI and counter electrode peak at 1000 Hz. Impedance trends across the voltage range switched, in which lower voltages at higher levels of sodiation exhibit larger impedance contributions to the system. These trends are confirmed by a base understanding of SEI formation and sodiation trends. Relative impedance contributions from the diffusion process increase from pristine to cycled electrodes, with diffusion peaks at becoming the dominant impedance contribution as cycling progresses. Significant changes in DRT trends plateaued after the initial SEI formation over the first five cycles. Abrupt and early failure during cycling of a subset of the cells was marked by a plateau in the working electrode voltage, an increase in contact resistance within EIS-DRT plots and decreased electrochemical activity within CV. Visual post mortem checks correlated well with these findings, with an apparent delamination of the electorate coating from the current collector. Understanding the physical and electrochemical phenomenon within a battery though nondestructive in situ characterization is crucial to simplify work flows in battery testing.

Abstract:

The total loads between kiln support are transmitted to the shell cross-section at tyre as shearing forces. According to the character and the condition of shell deformation and force balance, the mathematical models of contact pressure have been set up between tyre and shell under intermittent contact. The contact zones and contact pressures between tyre and shell are solved when the support reactions and gaps are variable. The results show the contact pressures increase with the increase of support reactions and gaps, the contact zones are proportional to support reactions, and inversely proportional to the gaps, which provide the reason for sound axis alignment and gap design.

Abstract:

Abstract Abstract 1130 The integrin αIIbβ3 (GPIIb-IIIa) plays an essential role in platelet adhesion and cohesion by binding to a number of adhesive ligands including fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, fibronectin, and vitronectin. Following ligand binding, αIIbβ3-mediated intracellular signaling is thought to stabilize platelet adhesive interactions, cause platelet spreading, and initiate clot retraction. Here we investigated the time course of interactions between purified αIIbβ3 and its major ligand fibrinogen when both were firmly attached to apposed surfaces, mimicking αIIbβ3-mediated platelet adhesive interactions. To measure the mechanical resistance of individual αIIbβ3-fibrinogen complexes under a constant tensile force, we used a previously described optical trap force clamp system (Litvinov et al., Biophys. J., 2011, 100, 165). Briefly, we trapped a fibrinogen-coated microscopic bead in a focused laser beam and intermittently brought it into contact with an αIIbβ3-coated silica pedestal. Repeated touching and separation of the bead and pedestal occurred with a compressive force of 20 pN and a constant pulling force of 50 pN. When the duration of contact between interacting molecules on the bead and pedestal was varied from 0.1s to 2s, the probability of αIIbβ3-fibrinogen interaction was time-dependent. This enabled us to extract two-dimensional kinetic parameters, i.e., how fast the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen complex forms and dissociates at the interface without the application of an external tensile force (zero-force kinetics). To convert the kinetic parameters to absolute values, we determined the density of αIIbβ3 molecules on the pedestal surface capable of binding 125I-fibrinogen to be ≈3,000 molecules per μm2. We found that the reactive αIIbβ3 exists in at least two states that differ significantly in their on-rates (kon1 =8×10−5 and kon2 =5.6×10−4 μm2/s), off-rates (koff1 =1.56 and koff2 =1.70 1/s) and affinities (Kd1 =2×104 and Kd2 =3×103 1/μm2) for fibrinogen. In the absence of αIIbβ3 activators, the interacting molecules reached a stable equilibrium in which 85% of the complexes were in the lower affinity form. In the presence of the activator Mn2+, the proportion of lower affinity forms decreased to 60%. Mn2+ also changed the on-rates (kon1 =3.38×10−5 and kon2 =9.9×10−4 μm2/s), off-rates (koff1 =2.99 and koff2 =4.82 1/s) and affinities (Kd1 =9×104 and Kd2 =5×103 1/μm2). We then tested whether the ratio between the two integrin activation states and the mechanical stability of the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen complex depends on the duration of contact between the interacting surfaces. As the contact duration was prolonged from 0.1s to 2s, the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen bond lifetime increased from shorter lifetimes (<2s) corresponding to the low-affinity state to longer lifetimes (up to 50s) corresponding to the high-affinity state. Moreover, the rate of transition from low- to high-affinity increased ∼3-fold, whereas the reverse rate decreased 1.5–2-fold, resulting in an overall 6-fold increase in the equilibrium rate constant. This means that reversible conformational transitions of αIIbβ3 from low- to high affinity states occur during its interaction with fibrinogen with the equilibrium gradually shifting toward the higher affinity state as contact duration increases. Thus, the strength of αIIbβ3-fibrinogen interactions is time-dependent due to a progressive increase in the affinity of the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen complex during the course of the interaction. These results provide kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the adhesive interaction between αIIbβ3 and fibrinogen at the single-molecule level and provide evidence for a direct fibrinogen-induced change in αIIbβ3 conformation as a potential mechanism for the initiation of αIIbβ3-mediated outside-in signaling in platelets.

Abstract:

When a longitudinal wave passes through a contact interface, second harmonic components are generated due to contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN). The magnitude of the generated second harmonic is related to the contact state of the interface, of which a model has been developed using linear and nonlinear interfacial stiffness. However, this model has not been sufficiently verified experimentally for the case where the interface has a rough surface. The present study verifies this model through experiments using rough interfaces. To do this, four sets of specimens with different interface roughness values (Ra = 0.179 to 4.524 μm) were tested; one set consists of two Al6061-T6 blocks facing each other. The second harmonic component of the transmitted signal was analyzed while pressing on both sides of the specimen set to change the contact state of the interface. The experimental results showed good agreement with the theoretical prediction on the rough interface. The magnitude of the second harmonic was maximized at a specific contact pressure. As the roughness of the contact surface increased, the second harmonic was maximized at a higher contact pressure. The location of this maximal point was consistent between experiments and theory. In this study, an FEM simulation was conducted in parallel and showed good agreement with the theoretical results. Thus, the developed FEM model allows parametric studies on various states of contact interfaces.

Abstract:

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an important tool for measuring a variety of nanoscale surface properties, such as topography, viscoelasticity, electrical potential and conductivity. Some of these properties are measured using contact methods (static contact or intermittent contact), while others are measured using noncontact methods. Some properties can be measured using different approaches. Conductivity, in particular, is mapped using the contact-mode method. However, this modality can be destructive to delicate samples, since it involves continuously dragging the cantilever tip on the surface during the raster scan, while a constant tip–sample force is applied. In this paper we discuss a possible approach to develop an intermittent-contact conductive AFM mode based on Fourier analysis, whereby the measured current response consists of higher harmonics of the cantilever oscillation frequency. Such an approach may enable the characterization of soft samples with less damage than contact-mode imaging. To explore its feasibility, we derive the analytical form of the tip–sample current that would be obtained for attractive (noncontact) and repulsive (intermittent-contact) dynamic AFM characterization, and compare it with results obtained from numerical simulations. Although significant instrumentation challenges are anticipated, the modelling results are promising and suggest that Fourier-based higher-harmonics current measurement may enable the development of a reliable intermittent-contact conductive AFM method.

Abstract:

When two elastic three-dimensional bodies of specified radii come into contact, Hertzian forces at the interface result in the formation of an elliptical contact area. The rotation of one body relative to the other about an axis normal to the contact induces a nonlinear torque due to the progression of sliding in the contact interface. Using finite element analysis, a relationship describing torsional compliance with slip is presented for two elastic bodies with an elliptic contact interface under pure twist. The effect of changing material and geometric parameters is studied, and the relationships between torque generation and angle are defined with respect to these nondimensionalized parameters.
