Simulations of the mobile phase of polyethylene

Results are presented from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the mobile pseudo-hexagonal phase of polyethylene, which occurs under conditions of elevated pressure and temperature. Three different types of model are considered, all of which employ periodic boundary conditions. The first model consists of n-alkane sequences (48×-C₂₄H₄₈-) that are bonded across the simulation box boundaries to produce chains that are effectively infinite in extent. On heating, at high pressure, this system displays a rotator phase, in which the chains retain an all-trans conformation, and rotate as semi-rigid units. A second model, consisting of finite n-alkanes (48×C₂₄H₅₀) displays the same behaviour at low temperatures, but at high temperature and pressure forms a conformationally disordered rotator phase, characterised by a large proportion of gauche defects and a significant lattice expansion. The final model considered contains long n-alkanes (24×C₁₀₂H₂₀₆) which contain jog defects and each pass twice through the simulation box. This model forms a conformationally disordered rotator phase at high temperature and ambient pressure. The behaviour of the three models, in terms of the variations in chain conformation and rotational and translational dynamics, are compared. The conformationally disordered phases provide useful representations of the experimentally observed mobile phase.

Surface segregation studied by low-energy ion scattering: experiment and numerical simulation

The changes in surface composition of metallic alloys caused by segregation can be very efficiently studied by low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) due to the specific surface sensitivity of this technique. Investigations of single-crystal surfaces of ordered alloys are of particular interest because they provide the possibility to investigate the interplay between segregation effects and the order-disorder phase transition when passing through the transition temperature. Exemplifying these effects for bimetallic alloys we consider in particular the CuAu-system.For the quantitative interpretation of energy and angle resolved LEIS intensity distributions we compare experimental results with those from numerical simulations using the MARLOWE code which we extended with a detailed trajectory analysis. This allows us to apply various discrimination criteria, such as number of collisions, distance of closest approach, identification of the scattering crystal layer, total path length, etc. On this basis structural effects, ion survival probabilities and the influence of thermal vibrations can be studied.We demonstrate this potential by using CuAu(1 0 0) as a special example. The scattering potential parameters were calibrated with elemental single crystals of known structures and the anisotropic Debye temperatures taken from the literature showed good agreement, neutralization was of minor importance in this case. Our procedure could be successfully used for the quantitative analysis of the composition of the first and second layer as a function of temperature. These results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.     

Efficient Spreadsheet Algorithm for First-Order Reliability Method

A new spreadsheet-cell-object-oriented algorithm for the first-order reliability method is proposed and illustrated for cases with correlated nonnormals and explicit and implicit performance functions. The new approach differs from the writers earlier algorithm by obviating the need for computations of equivalent normal means and equivalent normal standard deviations. It obtains the solution faster and is more efficient, robust, and succinct. Other advantages include ease of initialization prior to constrained optimization, ease of randomization of initial values for checking robustness, and fewer required optimization constraints during spreadsheet-automated search for the design point. Two cases with implicit performance functions, namely an asymmetrically loaded beam on Winkler medium and a strut with complex supports are analyzed using the new approach and discussed. Comparisons are also made between the proposed approach and that based on Rosenblatt transformation.

Motion Perception Using Analog VLSI

Motion perception is arguably a fundamental mechanism used by natural species to accomplish a number of tasks, such as navigating freely in an unknown environment. Traditional motion perception methods tend to be computationally intensive, requiring powerful computers and large memories. However, by copying biological mechanisms, such as elementary motion discrimination at the early stages of the visual processing paths, it should be possible to build small and efficient motion perception systems. This paper describes the manner in which a simple motion perception model based on the insect visual system has been implemented using mixed analog/digital VLSI. The device has been fabricated in a 2 micron double metal, double polysilicon process, and comprises 61 photo-detectors, and associated analog and digital circuitry. While not entirely successful in that component mismatches hamper the detection of dark-to-bright changes in contrast, the results clearly show the feasibility of using such a device in autonomous control systems.
