On the convective nature of the instability of a front undergoing a supercritical Turing bifurcation

Fronts are traveling waves in spatially extended systems that connect two different spatially homogeneous rest states. If the rest state behind the front undergoes a supercritical Turing instability, then the front will also destabilize. On the linear level, however, the front will be only convectively unstable since perturbations will be pushed away from the front as it propagates. In other words, perturbations may grow but they can do so only behind the front. It is of interest to show that this behavior carries over to the full nonlinear system. It has been successfully done in a case study by Ghazaryan and Sandstede [A. Ghazaryan, B. Sandstede, Nonlinear convective instability of Turing-unstable fronts near onset: a case study, SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst. 6 (2007) 319–347]. In the present paper, analogous results are obtained for the same system as in Ghazaryan and Sandstede (2007), but for a different parameter regime.     

An alternative Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma and some extensions

This paper introduces an alternative formulation of the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (KYP) Lemma, relating an infinite dimensional Frequency Domain Inequality (FDI) to a pair of finite dimensional Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI). It is shown that this new formulation encompasses previous generalizations of the KYP Lemma which hold in the case the coefficient matrix of the FDI does not depend on frequency. In addition, it allows the coefficient matrix of the frequency domain inequality to vary affinely with the frequency parameter. One application of this results is illustrated in an example of computing upper bounds to the structured singular value with frequency-dependent scalings.

Low temperature deposition of ITO on organic films by using negative ion assisted dual magnetron sputtering system

In a magnetron sputter type negative metal ion deposition, the influence of positive bias voltage (V_b) on the surface morphology, electrical resistivity, optical transmittance, and microhardness of ITO prepared on organic polycarbonate films has been investigated. In this study, the V_b increased from 0 to 250 V to attract secondary negative In and Sn metal ions, which were produced from ITO target by surface negative ionization with intense Cs ion bombardments. During deposition although reactive oxygen gas was not introduced into the chamber, by adjusting V_b at 100 V, ITO films on polycarbonate substrate with resistivity as low as 6.1×10⁻⁴ Ω cm and transmittance over 90% at 550 nm have been obtained without intentional substrate heating.AFM measurement also shows that surface roughness varied significantly with V_b. However, too intense ion bombardment originated by high V_b (>100 V) condition increased surface roughness and as a result deteriorated the electrical and optical property of ITO films.

Coupled lateral bending-torsional vibration sensitivity of atomic force microscope cantilever

We study the influence of the contact stiffness and the ration between cantilever and tip lengths on the resonance frequencies and sensitivities of lateral cantilever modes. We derive expressions to determine both the effective resonance frequency and the mode sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) rectangular cantilever. Once the contact stiffness is given, the resonance frequency and the sensitivity of the vibration modes can be obtained from the expression. The results show that each mode has a different resonant frequency to variations in contact stiffness and each frequency increased until it eventually reached a constant value at very high contact stiffness. The low-order vibration modes are more sensitive to vibration than the high-order mode when the contact stiffness is low. However, the situation is reversed when the lateral contact stiffness became higher. Furthermore, increasing the ratio of tip length to cantilever length increases the vibration frequency and the sensitivity of AFM cantilever.     

Modeling the dynamic properties of fibre-reinforced concrete with different coating technologies of multifilament yarns

The dynamic behaviour of fibre-reinforced, cementitious composite materials is gaining increasing interest. With respect to service life dynamic loading just under the elastic limit of the material at hand is relevant to practical applications, for the resulting (stress-)waves may be focused within regions of the heterogeneous composite material. This local overstraining of the material may lead to deterioration of the structural element. In this contribution, the effect of the set-up of the reinforcing fibres on the wave scattering behaviour is investigated. Special attention is paid to layered centric configurations of these fibres, as it occurs e. g. within textile-reinforced concrete (TRC). A mechanical model is developed and solved analytically providing an efficient and robust method to describe the dynamic behaviour of given fibre configurations. This method is needed for materials which have to be described mechanically before the manufacturing process – as it is the case for TRC. The proposed model also allows for planning experiments and thus is of additional value. It is shown that the inner structure of the fibres does influence the amplitude response spectra and consequently the proposed method also may be used for non-destructively detecting the inner structure of the multifilament yarns and other related objects.     

Analysis of microbending of CuZn37 brass foils based on strain gradient hardening models

Microbending experiments of brass foils were conducted and demonstrated clear size effects, i.e., the normalized bending moment increased with the reduction of foil thickness. The experiments were modeled using the classical plasticity model and three strain-gradient plasticity models. A modified Nix-Gao model was proposed to consider the number of twins across the thickness direction in strain hardening. It was found that the proposed model could better predict the normalized bending moment for both fine-grain and coarse-grain foils and the proposed equation for material intrinsic length could better capture the physics of material deformation. Furthermore, micro-hardness distributions in the bending area were measured and obvious lower-hardness region was found in the middle layer of fine-grain foils instead of coarse-grain foils. This indicates that the modified Nix-Gao model and the assumption of fully plastic bending worked better for coarse-grain foils than for fine-grain foils.

37Mn5钢管热轧矫直后在内管壁出现鼓包缺陷,为了查找鼓包产生原因,采用显微镜和扫描电子显微镜等设备对鼓包的形貌、微观组织、化学成分及鼓包区域的形貌等内容进行了分析。结果表明:钢管化学成分和组织正常,钢管基体和鼓包区域含有较多相同的夹杂物,夹杂物均含有Ca、O、Fe、Na、K、Mg 等元素,这些元素组成含有多种氧化物和结晶器保护渣的大尺寸复合型夹杂物。进而得知钢管的鼓包缺陷产生原因:由于钢管内存在大量此类复合夹杂物在穿管过程中和钢管基体间的接触层面脱离并逐渐萌生裂纹,裂纹在比较大的周向压力作用下向内壁凸起并形成鼓包。
