Experimental characterization of the deformation behavior of a gas-bearing clastic formation: soft or hard rocks? A case study

The sources of noise and vibration of a refrigerator are characterized by means of laboratory measurements. Three different elements are considered: compressor, evaporator fan, and condenser fan. Both the radiated acoustic energy and the mechanical power injected to the refrigerator structure are measured. Acoustic intensity maps on the refrigerator faces at different frequencies are also provided They are helpful in visualizing the more problematic zones in terms of noise emis- sion. The devices are tested in vacuo or working inside the refrigerator. The provided information can be used as input data for vibroacoustic simulation models such as statistical energy analysis. It is also of interest in order to improve the refrigerator acoustic design.

Manufacturing Errors

This paper proposes a theoretical model for characterizing manufacturing error induced spatial parasitic motions (MESPM) of compliant mechanisms (CM), and investigates the inherent statistic features of MESPM using Monte Carlo simulation. It also applies and extends a novel finite beam based matrix modeling (FBMM) method to theoretically derive the elastic deformation behavior of an imperfect flexural linkage (IFL), which is a basic element of a wide spectrum of compliant mechanisms. A case study of a well-known double parallelogram compliant mechanism (DPCM) is also conducted, and the practical parasitic motions of a prototype DPCM are characterized by laser interferometer based measurements.

Deformation Patterns

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
