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.

High quality factor cold sintered Li2MoO4BaFe12O19 composites for microwave applications
摘要： Ceramics-ceramic composites (1-x)Li2MoO4-xBaFe12O19 (LMO-BF12, 0.00≤x≤0.15) have been cold sintered at 120oC and their structure and properties characterized. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that compositions were dual phase and had a dense microstructure. Composites in the xBF12-(1-x)LMO (0.0≤x≤0.15) series resonated at MW frequencies (~6GHz) with 5.6≤e r≤5.8 and Qf =16,000-22,000 GHz, despite the black colour of compositions with x > 0. The permeability of the composites was measured in the X band (~8 GHz) and showed an increase from 0.94 (x=0.05) to 1.02 (x=0.15). Finite element modelling revealed that the volume fraction of BF12 dictates the conductivity of the material, with a percolation threshold at 10 vol.% BF12 but changes in e r as a function of x were readily explained using a series mixing model. In summary, these composites are considered suitable for the fabrication of dual mode or enhanced bandwidth microstrip patch antennas.

A theoretical modeling analysis for triboelectrification controlled light emitting diodes
摘要： In this paper, we demonstrate the use of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a mean of mechanical light triggering to control InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Light extraction from the LED is two successive steps process. First, the voltage produced by the TENG is used to control the gate-to-source current of a MOSFET transistor through adjusting the transistor channel width and length. The second step is forwarding the drain-source current resulting from MOSFET transistor to the LED as its injection current to induce spontaneous emission from the LED surface to the air. Three LED colors are considered: red, green and blue. Significant emitted power from these InGaN-based LEDs in the RGB wavelength band is observed for both P-MOSFET and N-MOSFET transistor configurations. The emitted optical spectrum is controlled by optimizing the combined TENG-MOSFET-RGB LED geometry; dimensions and the bias voltage between the drain and source terminals of the MOSFET transistor. With recent advances in TENGs as an energy harvesting technology, it is expected that this study offers an approach to enhance the light extraction of various LED devices. With the enhancements in the performance of optoelectronic devices, the field of tribo- phototronics has attracted more attention, and in this work, we introduce the first theoretical framework, to the best of our knowledge, based on finite element modeling. This study provides significant insights into the working principles of tribo-Phototronic devices as well as guidelines for future device design.

Broad-band measurements of dielectric permittivity in coaxial line using partially filled circular waveguide
摘要： The full-wave analysis was applied for a coaxial line (i.e., transmission line) that has a “short-circuited” discontinuity. The discontinuity has a radius less than or equal to the inner radius of the coaxial line. The “sample region” can be considered as a partially filled circular waveguide. Such a structure is very practical and is of particular interest for the dielectric spectroscopy applications. It takes into account the inhomogeneous field distribution, which is the limiting factor for the determination of high dielectric permittivity values at microwave frequencies. The direct problem was solved by using the mode-matching technique, and the relationship between the complex reflection coefficient and the dielectric permittivity of the cylindrical sample was obtained. By solving the inverse problem, it is possible to obtain the complex dielectric permittivity from the experimental values of the scattering matrix. The results were verified by the finite element modeling of the system and applied for particular materials. The correspondence between these approaches is excellent. This method is very suitable for the determination of permittivity, which exceeds several thousands (it is applicable for any type of material). It extends the frequency range where the permittivity can be determined reliably. There is no necessity to prepare samples with different geometries (i.e., surface area and thickness).

摘要： General principles are developed using a finite element model regarding how time-dependent power dissipation of magnetic nanoparticles can be used to optimize hyperthermia selectivity. To make the simulation more realistic, the finite size and spatial location of each individual nanoparticle is taken into consideration. When energy input into the system and duration of treatment is held constant, increasing the maximum power dissipation of nanoparticles increases concentrations of energy in the tumor. Furthermore, when the power dissipation of magnetic nanoparticles rises linearly, the temperature gradient on the edge of the tumor increases exponentially. With energy input held constant, the location and duration of maximum power dissipation in the treatment time scheme will affect the final energy concentration inside the tumor. Finally, connections are made between the simulation results and optimization of the design of nanoparticle power dissipation time-schemes for hyperthermia.

Thermal Relaxation Features of Residual Stresses Arising upon Laser Shock Processing of Heat-Resistant Materials
摘要： In this paper, we study the thermal relaxation features of compressive residual stresses generated during laser-shock wave processing in high-alloyed heat-resistant Iron GH2036 alloy. A finite element modeling of thermal relaxation of the generated compressive residual stresses was performed. The features of the thermal effects on the redistribution of the compressive residual stresses in the temperature range from 200 to 650°C are studied. Based on comparative analysis, the results of the finite element modeling correlated well with the experimental data known in the literature.

Surface dynamic deformation of LY2 aluminum alloy subjected to a laser shock wave planishing technique with different kinds of contacting foils
摘要： In this paper, a laser shock wave planishing technique (LSWP) was used to treat the LY2 aluminum alloy surface with corrugated structures, and the influence of contacting film material on the planishing effect was studied. The dynamic response characteristics of surface micro-features under different physical parameters of contacting foils were simulated by finite element simulation (FEM), and experimental verification was carried out. A close match between the experimental results with these simulation results in FEM was found. The planishing of surface micro-protrusions can reduce the surface roughness of treated sample, and the lifting of bottom materials can ensure the surface profile accuracy. The results demonstrate that the planishing effect on micro-protrusions improves with the density of the contacting foil decreasing; The lifting effect on the bottom material enhances with the strength of the contacting foil increasing. A high modulus of elasticity contacting foil also facilitates the bottom material bulging.

Simulation of Layer-by-Layer Selective Laser Melting Process with an Efficient Remeshing Technique
摘要： Quality and reliability of additively manufacturing (AM) parts using the selective laser melting (SLM) process are greatly influenced by the thermal history of the printing process. Prediction of parts thermal history using numerical methods, e.g. finite element (FE) method, can help reducing manufacturing defects, increasing process stability, improving design, and reducing cost and time required for the trial-and-error experimental approach. For the SLM process, finite element models are usually associated with simplifications (e.g., uniform heat flux and coarse mesh) that make the models computationally feasible but sacrifice model accuracy. This paper proposes a remeshing technique for the layer-by-layer SLM process simulation to reduce the computational expensiveness while maintaining high model accuracy. Transient thermal finite element models for small cubes are developed to predict the temperature history, melt pool size, and its variation throughout the building process for Ti-6Al-4V. Furthermore, temperature history at any location of the part can be easily obtained for detailed examination, if needed.
