Surface instability of a semi-infinite isotropic laminated plate under surface van der Waals forces
(2015)
By means of complex variable method, the present work demonstrates that the surface of a semi-infinite isotropic laminated plate that is being attracted to a rigid contactor through van der Waals forces is always unstable. ...
On the relationship between the dynamic behavior and nanoscale staggered structure of the bone
(2015)
Bone, a typical load-bearing biological material, composed of ordinary base materials such as organic protein and inorganic mineral arranged in a hierarchical architecture, exhibits extraordinary mechanical properties. Up ...
Interface cracks with surface elasticity in anisotropic bimaterials
(2015)
We consider the effect of surface elasticity on an interface crack between two dissimilar anisotropic elastic half-planes under generalized plane strain deformation. The surface mechanics is incorporated by using a modified ...
Friction between silicon and diamond at the nanoscale
(2015)
This work investigates the nanoscale friction between diamond-structure silicon (Si) and diamond via molecular dynamics simulation. The interaction between the interfaces is considered as strong covalent bonds. The effects ...
A general approach towards multi-faceted hollow oxide composites using zeolitic imidazolate frameworks
(2015)
To realize the various functionalities and maximize the structural advantages, hollow particles with multiple compositions and complex structures are highly desirable. However, the development of a convenient and scalable ...
Molecular dynamics study of pressure-driven water transport through graphene bilayers
(2015)
The pressure-driven water transport inside the nanochannel formed by GE bilayers is studied via molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of flow driving pressure and channel size, as well as interaction strength between ...
Crystal plasticity FEM study of nanoindentation behaviors of Cu bicrystals and Cu–Al bicrystals
(2015)
A crystal plasticity finite element constitutive model combined with Bassani and Wu hardening law has been developed to investigate the effects of grain/phase boundary (GB/PB) on mechanical properties and microtexture ...
Indentation damage evaluation on metal-coated thin-films stacked structure
(2015)
A micro-indentation system integrated with an acoustic emission (AE) sensor is used as a damage test method for crack detection of the specimen during the indentation loading–unloading cycle. The specimens investigated are ...
Effects of temperature and voids on the interfacial fracture of Si/a-Si3 N4 bilayer systems
(2015)
This work studies the effects of temperature, voids at or near the interface on the interfacial fracture behavior, and mechanisms of the Si/a-Si3N4 bilayer systems via molecular dynamics simulations. Under mode I loading, ...
Thermal Influence of CNT on the Polyamide 12 Nanocomposite for Selective Laser Sintering
(2015)
The thermal influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the PA12 in the laser sintering process was assessed by physical experiments and a three dimensional simulation model. It appears that, by adding the CNTs into the PA12 ...
