A multi-purpose Schrödinger-Poisson Solver for TCAD applications

We present the Vienna Schrödinger-Poisson Solver (VSP), a multi-purpose quantum mechanical solver for investigations on nano-scaled device structures. VSP includes a quantum mechanical solver for closed as well as open boundary problems on fairly arbitrary one-dimensional cross sections within the effective mass framework. For investigations on novel gate dielectrics VSP holds models for bulk and interface trap charges, and direct and trap assisted tunneling. Hetero-structured semiconductor devices, like resonant tunneling diodes (RTD), can be treated within the closed boundary model for quick estimation of resonant energy levels. The open boundary model allows evaluation of current voltage characteristics.     

Robust control of HIV infection by antiretroviral therapy: a super‐twisting sliding mode control approach

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is an epidemic infectious disease which is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and that has proliferated across worldwide. It has been a matter of concern for the scientific community to develop an antiretroviral therapy, which will prompt a rapid decline in viral abundance. With this motivation, this study proposes the design of a robust super twisting sliding mode controller based on output information for an uncertain HIV infection model. The control objective is to decrease the concentration of infected CD4+ T cells to a specified level by drug administration using only the output information of the uncertain HIV infection model which is total CD4+ T cell concentration. The robust output‐feedback controller has been developed in combination with a robust exact differentiator, functioning as an observer. The reported analysis demonstrates that the approach proposed here is capable of ensuring robust performance under several operating conditions, measurement and modelling error, parametric uncertainties and external disturbances and the simulation results prove the proficiency of the controller proposed.Inspec keywords: control system synthesis, observers, robust control, drugs, medical control systems, diseases, uncertain systems, variable structure systems, patient treatment, feedback, cellular biophysics, microorganismsOther keywords: robust control, antiretroviral therapy, sliding mode control approach, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, epidemic infectious disease, human immunodeficiency virus, scientific community, robust super, mode controller, output information, uncertain HIV infection model, control objective, infected CD4, total CD4, T cell concentration, robust output‐feedback controller, robust exact differentiator, robust performance     

Status of research on the plastomechanical fundamentals of rolling and drawing processes

Among the processes for plastic deformation of steel, rolling of strip, plate, and sections, and drawing of wire, bars, and tubes are of great importance. A survey is given showing to what extent the plastomechanical fundamentals of these forming methods have been developed. Theory is mainly directed towards the calculation of the deformation force and the flow of material. The governing influences are of geometrical, kinematical, thermal, tribological, and material-scientific kind. Starting from the basic equations of continuum mechanics, the mathematical methods of similitude, visioplasticity, energy bounds, elementary plasticity, slip line fields, and finite elements are briefly characterized.     

Multiphase microstructure in steel bars produced by dieless drawing

In the dieless drawing technology the drawing dies are replaced by a heating device, generally by an induction coil. Bars of different cross-sections, round or even rectangular, with varying dimensions along the length can be produced. By using a cooling box in connection with the heating device this deformation process may also be employed for a thermomechanical treatment of steels. The special cooling strategy with low cooling rates at high temperatures (during ferrite formation) and higher cooling rates at lower temperatures favours the formation of multiphase microstructures (ferrite - bainite/martensite) with a low yield strength but a strong work hardening effect. The experiments were carried out on rods with a diameter of 16 mm of a plain low carbon steel (0.1%C, 0.7%Mn). The specimens were locally heated up to the maximum temperature ?_max that initiates the dieless drawing process, and subsequently cooled with different coolants. The change in yield strength and tensile strength and the corresponding change in the ratio of both could be achieved by variation of ?_max and the cooling conditions. The multiphase microstructure with desired mechanical properties was produced at a strain of about more than 0.45 within the region of ?_max ≈ 900–1000°C and a finale cooling rate of about 20 K/s.
