Effects of phase transition temperature and preheating on residual stress in multi-pass & multi-layer laser metal deposition
摘要： To investigate the influences of phase transition temperature and preheating on the residual stress of multi-layer and multi-pass laser metal deposition (LMD), the multi-layer and multi-pass LMD, with and without preheating, were performed using five kinds of alloy with different phase transition features, and their residual stresses were measured using the hole drilling method. A finite-element (FE) model incorporating the phase transition was developed based on experimentally obtained physical property data. The results demonstrated that the low-temperature solid phase transition has a tensile stress relaxation effect, which leads to the formation of a compressive stress area. This relaxation effect was observed to decrease with the increase of the phase transition temperature. The high-temperature solid phase transition has no significant tensile stress relaxation effect during the multi-layer and multi-pass LMD process, which is different from the single track LMD. when the solid phase transition temperature is low, the preheating can improve the uniformity of the stress field only to a certain extent. However, when the preheating increases the lowest temperature of the thermal cycle and makes it higher than the starting point temperature of the solid phase transition, the tensile stress relaxation effect of the solid phase transition can be brought into full play.

Effects of TiO2 on the performance of silver coated on side-polished optical fiber for alcohol sensing applications
摘要： This work reports the experimental and numerical investigations on the effect of titanium oxide (TiO2) integrated on the optical fiber silver (Ag) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. In this paper, the numerical simulation is also analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) which shows good agreement. Results are compared with the experimental findings, focusing on the SPR phenomena for refractive index sensing using side-polished optical fiber, where the characteristics of the Ag layer with the integration of TiO2 are optimized. The essential parameters include the thickness of Ag namely 20 nm, 30 nm and 40 nm for optimization studies of SPR properties. TiO2 was then coated on the Ag thin layer to sense isopropanol at different concentration. It is shown that the combination of a 30 nm thickness of Ag layer with a dielectric TiO2 improves sensor performance in terms of sensitivity reading of 268 nm/RIU with a detection limit of 0.012. The main interest is to develop the device with cost effective, ease fabrication and less cumbersome of sensors using TiO2 which one of an alternative material to defeat the oxidation process and avoid charge recombination. If the sensitivity increases at a higher wavelength, it indicates that the TiO2 holds great potential in photonic applications.

The effect of the TiO2 film on the performance of the optical fiber SPR sensor
摘要： We studied the effect of the Titanium Oxide (TiO2) film on the performance of the optical fiber SPR with two kinds of probes. The light guiding properties and sensing performance of the D-type optical fiber SPR sensor coated with TiO2 was studied numerically by finite element method (FEM) and the sensing performance of the multimode-single mode-multimode (MSM) hetero-core optical fiber SPR sensor coated with TiO2 was investigated experimentally. The simulation and experimental results for two kinds of probes consistently show that the absence of TiO2 film layer on the gold film can enhance the refractive index sensitivity and tune the resonance curve of the sensor from visible light to near-infrared.

Study on the element segregation and Laves phase formation in the laser metal deposited IN718 superalloy by flat top laser and gaussian distribution laser
摘要： The element segregation, Laves phase formation, and mechanical properties of the laser metal deposited IN718 superalloy by the flat top laser beam (FTLB) and gaussian distribution laser beam (GDLB) are studied. It is found that the Laves phase formation in the gaussian distribution laser deposited IN718 (GDLD-IN718) is substantially higher than that in the flat top laser deposited IN718 (FTLD-IN718). The higher production of the Laves phase in the GDLD-IN718 contributes to the higher microhardness and lower tensile strength (about 20% reduction) of the as-deposited IN718 than that of the FTLD-IN718. The element redistribution behavior in the laser rapid solidification under both of the lasers are also studied through the finite element simulation. The results show that the severe laser energy concentration in the center of the GDLB produces higher molten pool temperature, lower horizontal thermal gradient to vertical thermal gradient ratio (GX/GZ) of the solid-liquid interface. These typical thermal characteristic of the GDLB generated molten pool eventually results in a lower redistribution coefficient of the alloying elements and as a result, the interdendritic element segregation and Laves phase formation are dramatically improved in the GDLD-IN718. The present comparative study proves that the FTLB is more superior for the laser additive manufacturing than that of the GDLB.

Rapid Alloy Development of Extremely High-Alloyed Metals Using Powder Blends in Laser Powder Bed Fusion
摘要： The design of new alloys by and for metal additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging field of research. Currently, pre-alloyed powders are used in metal AM, which are expensive and inflexible in terms of varying chemical composition. The present study describes the adaption of rapid alloy development in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) by using elemental powder blends. This enables an agile and resource-efficient approach to designing and screening new alloys through fast generation of alloys with varying chemical compositions. This method was evaluated on the new and chemically complex materials group of multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys (HEAs). MPEAs constitute ideal candidates for the introduced methodology due to the large space for possible alloys. First, process parameters for LPBF with powder blends containing at least five different elemental powders were developed. Secondly, the influence of processing parameters and the resulting energy density input on the homogeneity of the manufactured parts were investigated. Microstructural characterization was carried out by optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), while mechanical properties were evaluated using tensile testing. Finally, the applicability of powder blends in LPBF was demonstrated through the manufacture of geometrically complex lattice structures with energy absorption functionality.

Electric and dielectric characteristics of Al/ZrO2/IL/n-Si MOS capacitors using three-frequency correction method
摘要： In this study, MOS capacitors of Al/ZrO2/IL/n-Si (IL: interface layer) have been fabricated. Bias scan and frequency scan data of measured parallel capacitance (Cm) and parallel resistance (Rm) have been taken in the frequency of ～1 kHz to 2 MHz. To correct external frequency dispersion of parasitic parameters, we have used five-element model (including MOS capacitance C, parallel resistance Rp, IL capacitance Ci, IL resistance Ri, and series resistance Rs) and three-frequency correction method. Extracted capacitance C by the three-frequency correction method has negligible frequency dependence from 0.38 nF to 0.34 nF in the average frequency of ～3.7 kHz to 1.54 MHz. The frequency dispersion of Rp, Ci, Ri, and Rs are explained by some physical mechanisms. Small relative errors ΔC/C, ΔRp/Rp, ΔCi/Ci, ΔRi/Ri and ΔRs/Rs are less than 0.2%, 2%, 3%, 1.2% and 0.4% respectively. We have also used two existing double-frequency methods of three- and four-element models for comparison, and the extracted capacitances show abnormal frequency dependence. Above results indicate the three-frequency method of five-element model is necessary, effective and convenient in providing sufficient list data for bias voltage dependence or frequency dependence. The dielectric parameters, such as relative dielectric constant, conductivity, imaginary part of complex dielectric constant, and dielectric loss tangent have been calculated. The mechanisms of frequency dispersion for the dielectric parameters have been analyzed.

Tailored nanocomposite energy harvesters with high piezoelectric voltage coefficient through controlled nanowire dispersion
摘要： Composites composed of piezoelectric nanomaterials dispersed in a flexible polymer have emerged as promising materials for highly durable and flexible energy harvesters and sensors. Although piezoelectric materials in their bulk form have a high electromechanical coupling coefficient and can efficiently convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, the ceramic form has low fracture toughness and thus they are limited in certain applications due to difficulty in machining and conforming to curved surfaces. Recently, additive manufacturing processes such as direct write, have been developed to incorporate piezoelectric nanowires into a polymer matrix with controlled alignment to realize printed piezoelectrics. Given the multiphase structure of a nanocomposite, it is possible to control the material structure such that the piezoelectric coupling and dielectric properties can be varied independently. In this paper, experimentally validated finite element (FE) and micromechanics models are developed for calculation and optimization of the piezoelectric voltage coefficient, g31, of a nanocomposite. It is shown that by using high aspect ratio nanowires with controlled alignment, the piezoelectric coupling can be disproportionately increased with respect to the dielectric constant which yields a g31 coefficient that can be enhanced more than seven times compared to the bulk piezoelectric material. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the use of high aspect ratio nanowires in the energy harvester resulted in significant improvement on the output electrical power of an energy harvester.

Scaling effects on the optical properties of patterned nano-layered shape memory films
摘要： Nano-layered films of PVAc/PU systems were fabricated by forced assembly coextrusion method. The bulk shape memory properties of PVAc/PU systems were utilized to program nanoscale patterns such as diffraction grating which exhibit iridescence after patterning. A hot embossing process has been utilized to imprint diffraction grating patterns as nano-scale information onto the surface of the thin multilayer films. Three levels of hierarchy i.e. layer thickness, spacing and heights of patterns, governs the functionality of the patterned multilayer film. The time and temperature dependent viscoelastic shape memory behavior determines the opto-mechanical tunability of the film. Mechanical switching of the patterns also leads to optical switching of the films which corresponds to their efficiency of information retrieval. The recovery of patterns as well as the diffractive property depends on the layer thickness (l) of films and heights of patterns (h0). The results illustrate that the higher ratio of h0/l better is the recovery of the grating patterns and the corresponding diffractive properties. This scaling effect enables versatile applications in information security by tuning the layer structure of the multilayer shape memory films.

[IEEE 2018 28th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV) - Greifswald (2018.9.23-2018.9.28)] 2018 28th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (ISDEIV) - A Novel Vacuum Interruption Contact Design for High Current DC Vacuum Circuit Breaker
摘要： The vacuum interruption contact structure affect the insulation and breaking performance of DC vacuum circuit breaker directly. A novel vacuum interruption contact system with axial magnetic field (AMF)-double transversal magnetic field (TMF) is investigated for high current interruption in DC vacuum circuit breaker in this paper. It consists of one AMF cup-shaped contact and two concentric TMF contacts, which the internal contact is a disk-shaped structure and the external contact is a cup-shaped structure. The so-called novel TMF-TMF-AMF contact structure has the merits of having a very high axial magnetic flux density at large current condition, and producing rotation Lorentz force for metal vapor arc caused during interruption process. Its performance is compared with that of traditional TMF contact, traditional AMF contact and TMF-AMF contacts using three-dimensional finite-element method and the comparison results verify the validity of this proposed interruption contact structure design.

A Mechanical and modelling study of magnetron sputtered Cerium-Titanium Oxide film coatings on Si (100)
摘要： Ce/Ti mixed metal oxide thin films have well known optoelectrical properties amongst several other physio-chemical properties. Changes in the structural and mechanical properties of magnetron sputtered Ce/Ti oxide thin films on Si (100) wafers with different Ce:Ti ratios are investigated experimentally and by modelling. X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirm the primary phases as trigonal Ce2O3 and rutile form of TiO2 with SiO2 present in all prepared materials. FESEM imaging delivers information based on the variation of grain size, the mixed Ce/Ti oxides providing much smaller grain sizes in the thin film/substrate composite. Nanoindentation analysis concludes that the pure cerium oxide film has the highest hardness value (20.1 GPa), while the addition of excess titanium oxide decreases the hardness of the film coatings. High temperature in-situ XRD (up to 1000 °C) results indicate high thermal phase stability for all materials studied. The film with Ce:Ti = 68%:32% has a new additional minor oxide phase above 800 °C. Contact angle experiments suggest that the chemical composition of the surface is insignificant affecting the water contact angle. Results show a narrow band of 87.7o to 95.7o contact angle. The finite element modelling (FEM) modelling of Ce/Ti thin film coatings based on Si(100); Si(110); silica and steel substrates shows a variation in stress concentration.
