Multi time scale simulations for wear prediction in micro-gears

Submitted by vh on

Reliability of micro-gears is known to be adversely affected by wear. In this work we report a strategy to predict local wear with the aim of predicting their effective life span. For the prediction of local wear we start from the relevant model experiments, choice of a suitable wear model and identification of the wear coefficient from these experiments. This wear model is then implemented in an efficient finite element based scheme to predict local wear.

Compositional patterning in coherent and dislocated alloy nanocrystals

Submitted by vh on
Variations in the distribution of the alloy components can significantly influence the electronic properties
of self-organized alloy nanocrystals. Using a combination of finite element and quadratic programming
optimization methods, we have developed an efficient numerical technique to compute the equilibrium
composition profiles in coherent and dislocated nanocrystals. We show that the variations in composition
profiles arise due to the competition between chemical mixing effects and the relaxation of composition-
dependent mismatch strain as well as strain due to dislocations. We find that the composition profiles
