Thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of rotating nonlocal nanoplates applying generalized differential quadrature method

In this study, thermal and small-scale effects on the flapwise bending vibrations of a rotating nanoplate, which can be the basis of nano-turbine design, have been analyzed. The nano-turbine is made of an orthotropic nanoplate with a setting angle that is modeled based on the classical plate theory (CPT) with cantilever boundary conditions. The axial forces are also included in the model as the true spatial variation due to the rotation and temperature change. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived according to Hamilton's principle and the governing equations are solved with the aid of the generalized differential quadrature method. The effects of small-scale parameter, nondimensional angular velocity, temperature change, and setting angles in the first four nondimensional frequencies are discussed. Due to the consideration of the rotating effects, results of this study are applicable in nano-machines, such as nano-motors, nano-rotor, and other rotating nano-structures. Also, by considering the effect of thermal loading on rotation of a nanoplate, the results are useful in the design of nano-turbines.     

简易种子调停法制备大小可调的三角形银纳米盘(英文)

通过柠檬酸钠还原银离子,以银纳米粒子为种子,在室温下制备出平均厚度约为5nm,尺寸40到500nm可调的三角形银纳米片。通过种子调停法可实现银纳米盘的面内偶极表面等离子体共振峰(SPR)从最初的520nm红移至1100nm。通过控制实验参数能够很好地理解其生长机制。柠檬酸根离子和增加到生长液里面的银纳米种子是2个重要的参数,可以控制银纳米盘的大小却不改变银纳米盘的厚度以及晶面结构。采用PVP作为包覆剂,其作用机理还不是很清楚,需要进一步的研究。     

Analytical Solution for Thermomechanical Vibration of Double-Viscoelastic Nanoplate-Systems Made of Functionally Graded Materials

In this article, based on the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen, dynamic characteristics of a double-FGM viscoelastic nanoplates-system subjected to temperature change with considering surface effects (surface elasticity, tension and density) is studied. Two Kirchhoff nanoplates are coupled by an internal Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic medium and also are limited to the external Pasternak elastic foundation. The material properties of the simply supported functionally graded nanoplates are assumed to follow power law distribution in the thickness direction. The governing equations of motion for three cases (out-of-phase vibration, in-phase vibration and one nanoplate fixed) are derived from Hamilton's principle. The analytical approach is employed to determine explicit closed-form expression for complex natural frequencies of the system. Numerical results are presented to show variations of the frequency of double-FGM viscoelastic nanoplates corresponding to various values of the nonlocal parameter, temperature change, power law index, aspect ratio and transverse and shear stiffness coefficients of the Pasternak elastic foundation. Moreover, influence of higher order modes, viscoelastic structural damping and damping coefficient of the viscoelastic medium on vibration characteristics are investigated. Numerical results show that natural frequency is greatly influenced by surface elastic modulus and residual surface stress.

Effects of graphene nanoplates on microstructures and mechanical properties of NSA-TIG welded AZ31 magnesium alloy joints

The effects of graphene nanoplates (GNPs) on the microstructures and mechanical properties of nanoparticles strengthening activating tungsten inert gas arc welding (NSA-TIG) welded AZ31 magnesium alloy joints were investigated. It was found that compared with those of activating TIG (A-TIG), and obvious refinement of α-Mg grains was achieved and the finest α-Mg grains of fusion zone of NSA-TIG joints were obtained in the welded joints with TiO₂+GNPs flux coating. In addition, the penetrations of joints coated by TiO₂+GNPs flux were similar to those coated by the TiO₂+SiC_p flux. However, the welded joints with TiO₂+GNPs flux coating showed better mechanical properties (i.e., ultimate tensile strength and microhardness) than those with TiO₂+SiC_p flux coating. Moreover, the generation of necking only occurred in the welded joints with TiO₂+GNPs flux.     

Preparation,crystallization behavior,and dynamic mechanical property of nanocomposites based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) and exfoliated graphite nanoplate

Nanocomposites based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and exfoliated graphite nanoplate (xGnP) were prepared by solution precipitation method. The resulting nanocomposites were investigated with respect to their structure and properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, and dynamic mechanical analysis. Both SEM and TEM examinations confirmed the good dispersion of xGnP in the PVDF matrix. The nonisothermal crystallization behavior of the PVDF/xGnP nanocomposites was studied using DSC technique at various cooling rates. The results indicated that the xGnPs in nanometer size might act as nucleating agents and accelerated the overall nonisothermal crystallization process. Meanwhile, the incorporation of xGnP significantly improved the storage modulus of the PVDF/xGnP nanocomposites. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011     

Superhydrophobic CuO@Cu2S nanoplate vertical arrays on copper surfaces

The present work reports a simple method to produce hierarchical CuO architectures on copper substrate through self-generation. Subsequently, CuO@Cu₂S composites have been successfully synthesized from the hierarchical CuO precursors via a facile solution-immersion process. These products were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray powder diffraction and x-ray photoelectron spectrum. The wettability of the products was also investigated. It was found that the wettability of the CuO@Cu₂S composite film could be easily changed from hydrophilic to superhydrophobic with simple fluorination modification. Compared with other methods, the method herein is mild, economical and easy to create large area superhydrophobic materials on copper substrate.     

Cactus‐Like Hollow Cu2‐xS@Ru Nanoplates as Excellent and Robust Electrocatalysts for the Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

The development of Pt‐free electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) recently is a focus of great interest. While several strategies are developed to control the structural properties of non‐Pt catalysts and boost their electrocatalytic activities for the HER, the generation of highly reactive defects or interfaces by combining a metal with other metals, or with metal oxides/sulfides, can lead to notably enhanced catalytic performance. Herein, the preparation of cactus‐like hollow Cu_2‐x S@Ru nanoplates (NPs) that contain metal/metal sulfide heterojunctions and show excellent catalytic activity and durability for the HER in alkaline media is reported. The initial formation of Ru islands on presynthesized Cu_1.94S NPs, via cation exchange between three Cu⁺ ions and one Ru³⁺, induces the growth of the Ru phase, which is concomitant with the dissolution of the Cu_1.94S nanotemplate, culminating in the formation of a hollow nanostructure with numerous thin Ru pillars. Hollow Cu_2‐x S@Ru NPs exhibit a small overpotential of 82 mV at a current density of ?10 mA cm^?2 and a low Tafel slope of 48 mV dec^?1 under alkaline conditions; this catalyst is among state‐of‐the‐art HER electrocatalysts in alkaline media. The excellent performance of hollow Cu_2‐x S@Ru NPs originates from the facile dissociation of water in the Volmer step.
