Continuum Modeling Of Adhesive Interaction Based On Interatomic PotentialsJayadeep, U B January 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Adhesion between solid bodies plays a prominent role in a wide variety of situations ranging from tribological applications to dust coagulation initiating the formation of planets. It can be due to various reasons like capillary, electrostatic, van der Waals, and hydrophobic forces. Among these, adhesion due to van der Waals force| which has its origin in permanent or instantaneous electric dipoles present in all atoms and molecules|is of special significance as it is present in all cases. Computational studies on adhesion due to van der Waals force commonly assume it as a surface force due to its short effective range, which is about a few tens of nanometers, in comparison to the length-scales commonly encountered. However, such restrictions are often violated in various important problems. For example, the characteristic dimensions of asperities| which are the smallest roughness elements interacting to cause friction and wear| are usually of nanometer length-scale. In addition, the assumptions inherent in development of surface force model are exact only when the deformations are small. In all such situations, the van der Waals force must be assumed as distributed over the volume.
In this work, a computational model is developed by incorporating van der Waals force and short-range repulsion (steric repulsion or Pauli repulsion) as body forces distributed over the volume in a large deformation, static/transient, finite element framework. First the development of the general formulation is discussed, and then it is specialized for various considerations like handling symmetry and interaction between an elastic body and a rigid half-space, which offer significant computational advantages over the general formulation. The applicability of the model is illustrated by using a number of benchmark and practical problems. The comparison of the analysis results and well-established analytical models are provided, which validates our method. As a specific example, the smooth change of interaction force from a thin-rod model to a at-plate model on increasing the cross-sectional areas of two interacting elastic rods is demonstrated.
The impact of elastic bodies in presence adhesion, and the associated energy loss is an important concern in studies regarding the origin of friction. Therefore, adhesive impact of elastic rods and spheres is studied using our formulation. Emphasis of the study is on finding the apparent energy loss during impact, which represents the part of energy lost to elastic stress waves remaining in the body after the impact, and hence not available for rebound motion. In case of impact of elastic rods on a rigid half-space, it is shown that the apparent energy loss is a unique function of the tensile strain energy developed in the rod due to van der Waals attraction. A one-dimensional model is developed for this case to determine the energy loss based on the specified problem parameters, which can be used to predict practically relevant phenomena like capture. In case of impact of elastic spheres, which is often correlated with asperity interactions, the energy loss is found to be significant only if adhesion-induced instabilities occur. The behavior shown by rods and spheres are probably at the two extremes with regards to energy loss during impact of elastic bodies in presence of adhesion.
Practical use of the formulation is demonstrated by applying it to the study of amplitude variation and phase shifts in tapping-mode atomic force microscopy. Specifically, the advantage of operating the AFM cantilever just below its natural frequency as compared to operating it just above the natural frequency is demonstrated. Bistable behavior, which is the coexistence of two stable vibration modes under exactly same operating conditions, is shown to be severe when the driving frequency is higher than the natural frequency of AFM cantilever even in the absence of adhesion, which can result in spurious contrast-reversal artifacts during imaging. The hysteresis loop associated with the bistable behavior may lead to erroneous conclusions regarding presence of adhesion. Since this model overcomes the limitations of lumped parameter models and the computational models based on surface force approximation, the results can be used for much more realistic interpretation of experimental data.
Computational framework developed in this study achieves the capability for analysis of adhesive contact problems directly from van der Waals interaction and steric repulsion. Such a model can be used for revisiting the fundamental problems in contact mechanics, as well as for providing better insights into experimental observations.

Potential Energy Minimization as the Driving Force for Order and Disorder in Organic Layers / Potentialenergie-Minimierung als Triebfeder für Ordnung und Unordnung in organischen SchichtenWagner, Christian 15 June 2010 (has links) (PDF)
The topic of this work is the structural characterization and theoretical modeling of organic single and heterolayers. The growth of sub-monolayers and monolayers (ML) of the two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons quaterrylene (QT) and hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) on Ag(111) and Au(111) was investigated. A transition from a disordered, isotropic phase to an ordered phase with increasing coverage was found. The lattice of the ordered phase turned out to be coverage dependent. The intermolecular potential was modeled including Coulomb and van der Waals interaction by a force-field approach. The postulated repulsive character of the potential could be connected to the non-uniform intramolecular charge distribution and to a screening of the van der Waals forces. Furthermore, the influence of the variable lattice constant on the epitaxial growth of HBC was studied. The second part of this work deals with a ML of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on a ML of HBC. In dependency on the initial lattice constant of HBC, a total of three line-on-line (LOL) and point-on-line coincident phases of PTCDA (with respect to HBC) was found. Following an analysis of the general properties of LOL coincident systems via force-field calculations, a new method to predict the structure of such systems is introduced. / Thema dieser Arbeit ist die strukturelle Charakterisierung von organischen Einfach- und Heterolagen sowie deren theoretische Beschreibung und Modellierung. Es wurden Submonolagen und Monolagen (ML) der polyzyklischen Kohlenwasserstoffe Quaterrylen (QT) und Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronen (HBC) auf Ag(111) und Au(111) Einkristallen untersucht und ein Übergang von einer ungeordneten, isotropen Phase zu einer geordneten Phase mit steigender Bedeckung beobachtet. Die geordnete Phase wies dabei bedeckungsabhängige Gitterkonstanten auf. Das intermolekulare Potential wurde unter Berücksichtigung von Coulomb und van der Waals Anteilen mittels Kraftfeldmethoden modelliert. Der postulierte repulsive Charakter des Potentials konnte auf die Ladungsverteilung im Molekül und eine Abschwächung des van der Waals Potentials zurückgeführt werden. Weiterhin wurde der Einfluss der variablen HBC Gitterkonstante auf die epitaktische Relation des Gitters zum Metallsubstrat untersucht. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit widmet sich der Untersuchung einer ML 3,4,9,10-Perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydrid (PTCDA) auf einer ML HBC. Dabei wurden, in Abhängigkeit von der HBC Gitterkonstante, insgesamt drei verschiedene Typen von line-on-line bzw. point-on-line Epitaxie nachgewiesen. Im Anschluss an eine Analyse der generellen Eigenschaften solcher epitaktischer Lagen mittels Kraftfeldrechnungen wird eine neue Methode zur Vorhersage der Struktur konkreter Systeme vorgestellt.

Adhezní schopnosti gekona byly předmětem mnoha studií a inspirací pro vytvoření mnoha napodobenin. Tato práce navrhuje vlastní verzi umělých gekoních struktur ve tvaru mikroskopických pilířů, které by vykazovaly adhezní vlastnosti srovnatelné s tlapkou gekona. Vyrobeny byli struktury z polymeru Parylen C pomocí fotolitografie a technik na leptání křemíku. Dalším cílem bylo různými metodami pro modifikaci povrchu a charakterizaci vytvořených struktur, které určí adhezní síly těchto povrchů, před a po modifikacích.
