Adhesion between transferrable monolayer and substrate ?
Is there any research about interfacial adhesion of transferrable monolayers and substrates ? I found it's quite different from the rough surface model, because the monolayer is flexible enough to match the roughness of surface. Can one determine the separation value from the different roughness of pure substrate and substrate with a monolayer ?
Can someone give me some clue ? Thanks a lot!
Cyclic thermal load
I need to apply cyclic thermal load on a layered structure and want to see the stress generated and structural displacement using Ansys. How can I apply cyclic thermal load? iI tried to use Load Step Opts. Since I am interested only in stress-displacemnt, I used structural element. But if i use structural element, it doesn't give me Time/frequency option under load Step. Do i need to use coupled element? Is there any other way to apply cyclic thermal load to see stress-displacement? Thanks!
about critical thickness theory
who can tell me more about the critical thickness theory ?I will be very excited if you can introduce some reference to me.I know that critical thickness theory is solved rigorously and ursed to validated a useful approximation which is combined with slip distance theory modified for a finite structure size . (physical life review letters :elastic limit and strain hardening of thin wires in torsion)
Human conditioning
Instead of cooling a whole room some mechanism should be devised to cool only the human body thats only d requirement and can save energy its like mobile u can have it when u need.
Supplier and price details
I am unable to trace the suppliers of PEEK polymer in india. I am worried its price details too. Please help me out. sorry commercial agents.
3D Doctor Tool
Hi,
I hope this is the right forum to get some help for my work.
I am looking at CT data (DICOM files) to make FEM models. To generate 3D surface/volumes for FEM, I was looking for softwares. They all are pretty expensive (4-10K USD). I have decide togo with Able Software's 3D-DOCTOR. I am lookign for some reviews or user experience or comments for this tool.
Thanks

Modeling the dynamic mechanical analysis of a single pulp fiber

Hi there,
I am trying to model the DMA test for single pulp fiber. In this research I can I assume whatever procedure or materials parameters I need, from an old PhD thesis I took some materials parameters for the cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin and by using the composite theories I calculated the stiffness matrices for each constituent I have and from there I calculated the stiffness matrix of the fiber, and of course calculated the longitudinal young’s modulus of the fiber at the room temperature.
