Effects of TiO2 on the performance of silver coated on side-polished optical fiber for alcohol sensing applications
摘要： This work reports the experimental and numerical investigations on the effect of titanium oxide (TiO2) integrated on the optical fiber silver (Ag) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. In this paper, the numerical simulation is also analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) which shows good agreement. Results are compared with the experimental findings, focusing on the SPR phenomena for refractive index sensing using side-polished optical fiber, where the characteristics of the Ag layer with the integration of TiO2 are optimized. The essential parameters include the thickness of Ag namely 20 nm, 30 nm and 40 nm for optimization studies of SPR properties. TiO2 was then coated on the Ag thin layer to sense isopropanol at different concentration. It is shown that the combination of a 30 nm thickness of Ag layer with a dielectric TiO2 improves sensor performance in terms of sensitivity reading of 268 nm/RIU with a detection limit of 0.012. The main interest is to develop the device with cost effective, ease fabrication and less cumbersome of sensors using TiO2 which one of an alternative material to defeat the oxidation process and avoid charge recombination. If the sensitivity increases at a higher wavelength, it indicates that the TiO2 holds great potential in photonic applications.

A Domain Decomposition Finite Element Method for Modeling Electromagnetic Scattering from Rough Sea Surfaces with Emphasis on Near-Forward Scattering
摘要： A high fidelity full-wave simulator is presented to perform numerical experiments for rough sea scattering problem by considering different polarizations, frequencies, grazing angles, wind speeds and sea surface spectra. The simulator is based on a novel Finite Element Domain Decomposition (FEDD) method for solving the problem of two dimensional electromagnetic scattering over one-dimensional sea surface. This non-iterative method partitions the computational domain into a number of overlapping subdomains and solves each domain individually by employing the Locally-Conformal Perfectly Matched Layer (LC-PML) at the truncation boundaries. LC-PML has a unique feature such that it can be applied to irregular domains on the contrary to standard PML methods, and hence inspired the birth of FEDD. The FEDD method is used at each Monte Carlo realization corresponding to a sample from random rough surfaces, and decreases the computational load especially for electrically-large problems. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the method is investigated through several simulations. Using the FEDD method, the statistical behavior of the bistatic Radar Cross Section (RCS) is obtained for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. A special emphasis is given to forward-scattered RCS and the mean reflection coefficient for sea surface especially at low grazing angles, and it is shown that the simulator produces results in agreement with the Ament and Miller-Brown approximations, and experimental data, proving the reliability of the simulation approach. The results are also compared with the standard finite element method and method of moments. Rough sea surfaces are created by using both Pierson-Moskowitz and Elfouhaily spectra.

Laser fabrication of structural bone: surface morphology and biomineralization assessment
摘要： The current work explores the surface morphology of the laser-ablated bone using Yb-fiber coupled Nd:YAG laser (λ = 1064 nm) in continuous wave mode. As the laser-ablated region contains physiochemically modified carbonized and nonstructural region, it becomes unknown material for the body. Thus, biomineralization on such a laser-ablated region was assessed by in vitro immersion test in noncellular simulated body fluid. The presence of hydroxyapatite was detected in the precipitated mineral product using scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The effect of varying laser parameters on distribution of surface morphology features was identified and its corresponding effect on biomineralization was studied.

Taguchi Grey Relationalapproach Foroptimizing Process Parameters of Laser Peeningontitanium Alloy to Induce Enhanced Compressive Stress Based on Finite Element Simulation
摘要： Laser Shock Peening (LSP) turned out the most efficient surface engineering process for advanced materials to induce beneficial deep compressive residual stress which helps in improving mechanical, fatigue properties and surface damage resistance. But, analyzing the non-uniform distribution of residual stresses in the treated sample with XRD is much time taking and costly process. This problem can be resolved with LSP finite element numerical simulation model which is feasible with the realistic experimental process. The FE model allows the user to control the laser parameters in order to achieve the optimal level of all controllable parameters. The present study is intended to analyze and optimize the influence of laser processing parameters assists in inducing the residual compressive stress with minimal surface deformation.A Ti6Al4V material model with Johnson-Cook’s visco-elastic-plastic material behaviour law is prepared for LSP simulation. And Gaussian pressure profile is utilized for uniform loading of the targeted zone for the proposed model. Taguchi Grey Relational Analysis (TGRA) with L27 orthogonal array is applied to LSP simulation, and the results were analyzed with consideration of multiple response measures. It is noted that surface deformation is increased with the rise in a number of laser shots and pressure pulse duration. Maximum compressive residual stresses are falling for higher levels of laser spot diameter, Laser spot overlap and Laser Power density. The correlation is observed between FE simulation and published results. The optimal set of process parameters are obtained for improving the LSP on Ti alloys.

Nuclear Power Plant Prestressed Concrete Containment Vessel Structure Monitoring during Integrated Leakage Rate Testing Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors
摘要： As the last barrier of nuclear reactor, prestressed concrete containment vessels (PCCVs) play an important role in nuclear power plants (NPPs). To test the mechanical property of PCCV during the integrated leakage rate testing (ILRT), a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor was used to monitor concrete strain. In addition, a finite element method (FEM) model was built to simulate the progress of the ILRT. The results showed that the strain monitored by FBG had the same trend compared to the inner pressure variation. The calculation results showed a similar trend compared with the monitoring results and provided much information about the locations in which the strain sensors should be installed. Therefore, it is confirmed that FBG sensors and FEM simulation are very useful in PCCV structure monitoring.

摘要： In this paper, a solution to the double curl equation with generalized Coulomb gauge is proposed based on the vectorial representation of the magnetic vector potential. Traditional Coulomb gauge is applied to remove the null space of the curl operator and hence the uniqueness of the solution is guaranteed. However, as the divergence operator cannot act on edge elements (curl-conforming) directly, the magnetic vector potential is represented by nodal elements, which is too restrictive, since both the tangential continuity and the normal continuity are required. Inspired by the mapping of Whitney forms by mathematical operators and Hodge (star) operators, the divergence of the magnetic vector potential, as a whole, can be approximated by Whitney elements. Hence, the magnetic vector potential can be expanded by the edge elements, where its vectorial nature is retained and only the tangential continuity is required. Finally, the original equation can be rewritten in a generalized form and solved in a more natural and accurate way using finite-element method.

Hierarchically decomposed finite element method for a triply coupled piezoelectric, structure, and fluid fields of a thin piezoelectric bimorph in fluid
摘要： This paper proposes a numerical method for analyzing a thin piezoelectric bimorph in fluid. A hierarchically decomposed finite element method (FEM) is proposed for modeling the triply coupled piezoelectric-structure–fluid interaction. The electromechanical coupling (piezoelectric-structure interaction) behavior in a thin piezoelectric bimorph is described by the classical constitutive equation, the incompressible fluid flows by the Navier–Stokes equation and the structure by the Cauchy equation of motion. The piezoelectric-structure–fluid interaction system is decomposed into subsystems of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) and piezoelectric field, then the piezoelectric field and the FSI are coupled using the block Gauss–Seidel method, the fluid–structure interaction is split into the fluid–structure velocity field and the pressure field using an algebraic splitting and the fluid–structure velocity field is partitioned into fluid velocity field and structure velocity field. Using the proposed method, the resonance characteristics of a piezoelectric bimorph cantilever made of PVDF and PZT-5H material in fluid are investigated for actuation and sensor configurations.

Core-shell structure-induced high displacement response in piezoelectric ceramics: A theoretical design
摘要： In this work, a series of piezoelectric composites with core-shell structure are proposed to pursue high displacement response under a low applied electric field. The shell and core consist of piezoelectric and non-piezoelectric material, respectively. A finite element method (FEM) is introduced to simulate the distribution of local electric field and the displacement response. The results show that the largest piezoelectric displacement response of these core-shell structural composites reaches twenty-five times larger than that of pure piezoelectric ceramic under the applied electric field of 2 kV/mm, which can be explained by the fact that the local electric field inside the shell is enhanced up to dozens of times as large as the applied electric field. It is also suggested that the displacement response of piezoelectric composites can be heightened by adopting smaller shell volume fraction, or increasing the permittivity or decreasing the Young's modulus of the core.

A data-driven framework to predict the morphology of interfacial Cu6Sn5 IMC in SAC/Cu system during laser soldering
摘要： A data-driven approach combining together the experimental laser soldering, finite element analysis and machine learning, has been utilized to predict the morphology of interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) in Sn-xAg-yCu/Cu (SAC/Cu) system. Six types of SAC solders with varying weight proportion of Ag and Cu, have been processed with fiber laser at different magnitudes of power (30-50 W) and scan speed (10-240 mm/min), and the resultant IMC morphologies characterized through scanning electron microscope are categorized as prismatic and scalloped ones. For the different alloy composition and laser parameters, finite element method (FEM) is employed to compute the transient distribution of temperature at the interface of solder and substrates. The FEM-generated datasets are supplied to a neural network that predicts the IMC morphology through the quantified values of temperature dependent Jackson parameter (αJ). The numerical value of αJ predicted from neural network is validated with experimental IMC morphologies. The critical scan speed for the morphology transition between prismatic and scalloped IMC is estimated for each solder composition at a given power. Sn-0.7Cu having the largest critical scan speed at 30 W and Sn-3.5Ag alloy having the largest critical scan speed at input power values of 40 W and 50 W, thus possessing the greatest likelihood of forming prismatic interfacial IMC during laser soldering, can be inferred as most suitable SAC solders in applications exposed to shear loads.
