The double-capping procedure has been widely used to control the size distribution of self-assembled InAs/InGaAsP quantum dots during the growth on a (001) InP substrate. However, the conventional simulation method referred to one-step model does not include this procedure, which may lead to inaccuracy in modeling of quantum dots. An accurate method of modeling a single quantum dot including a thorough...
The variation of pressure of the blood is a key parameter in the development of ventricular assist device. This latter is useful in order to synchronize the behavior of the actuator with the cardiac frequency. This paper presents a sensor made of a dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAP). A particularity of this sensor is the special tubular shape, similar to an aorta, which allows to be used for...
With large scale increases of the train speed, it is of great practical significance to develop a fatigue test stand for high-speed train's transmission system. 3-DOF (three degree-of-freedom) electro-hydraulic shaking table for high-speed train's transmission system fatigue test is designed and its three dimensional mathematical model is established in this paper. In addition, static analysis and...
During the design of the second-phase extension project of a fuel electric plant in China, in order to meet the technological requirements, a typical oval steel coal scuttle with double funnels was proposed. This kind of scuttle has a complicated geometrical shape and is difficult to be designed and built. To evaluate the mechanical behavior of this scuttle, the 3D finite element structural analysis...
Water jet incremental sheet metal forming is a new method of sheet metal forming. Based on the feature of forming, simulation model is established, mesh generation is carved up, boundary condition and constraint are set, deformation degree is calculated, and after deformation degree and stress analysis an experiment of water jet incremental sheet metal forming is done. By giving a test to forming...
This paper introduces volume springs that provide the volume effect to a surface model when it is deformed. The estimation of the properties of the model takes the real material properties into consideration, where each spring stiffness is derived based on the elasticity, rigidity and compressibility modulus. The proposed model can be adopted to simulate soft objects such as a deformable human breast,...
This paper presents a new technique to generate triangular mesh surface parameterization and characterize 3-D surfaces by invariant spherical harmonic shape descriptors of objects with spherical topology. First, the surface is initially parameterized by defining a continuous one-to-one mapping from the surface of the object to the surface of a unit sphere. Then, the initial parameterization is optimized...
Four process parameters including, the pad length, the pad width, the stencil thickness and the stand-off, are chosen as four control factors, and by using an L25(56) orthogonal array, the no-fillet chip component solder joints shapes with 25 different process parameters combinations are established. And then all the shape prediction models of the 25 solder joints are built through the Surface Evolver...
Plasma-exposed Si surface related to Si recess in source/drain region was investigated in detail for various superposed bias configurations with frequencies of 13.56 MHz and 400 kHz. Two different bias powers were utilized by an inductively coupled plasma reactor (ICP). The surface layer (SL) and the interfacial layer between the SL and Si substrate (IL) were analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry...
In this paper, a first prototype of a multifunctional tactile sensor using ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) is proposed, designed, and tested. Two IPMC strips are used, one as an actuator and one as a sensor, both positioned in a cantilever configuration; working together they enable the system to detect the presence of a material in contact with it and to measure its stiffness. These sensing...
ldquoDevelopment for advanced thermoelectric conversion systemsrdquo supported by the new energy and industrial technology development organization (NEDO) has been successfully completed as one of the Japanese national energy conservation projects. Three types of the cascaded thermoelectric modules operating up to 850 K in high electrode temperature and two types of Bi-Te thermoelectric modules operating...
