A formulation to compute the effective thermal expansion coefficients (αc) of an anisotropic short fiber-reinforced composite and the thermal stress (σ) induced in and around the fiber is developed. The formulation is based on the Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method. Main emphasis is placed on short Carbon fiber/Aluminum. The thermal stress due to a uniform temperature rise ΔT is computed at points just outside the fiber. The effects of various parameters on αc and σ are also investigated.

The SOFC interconnect materials La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] were prepared using an auto-ignition process. The influences of Cr deficiency on their sintering, thermal expansion and electrical properties were investigated. All the samples were pure perovskite phase after sintering at 1400[Formula: see text]C for 4 h. The cell volume of La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] decreased with increasing Cr deficient content. The relative density of the sintered bulk samples increased from 93.2% [Formula: see text] to a maximum value of 94.7% [Formula: see text] and then decreased to 87.7% [Formula: see text]. The thermal expansion coefficients of the sintered bulk samples were in the range of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (30–1000[Formula: see text]C), which are compatible with that of YSZ. Among the investigated samples, the sample with 0.02 Cr deficiency had a maximum conductivity of 40.4 Scm[Formula: see text] and the lowest Seebeck coefficient of 154.8 [Formula: see text]VK[Formula: see text] at 850[Formula: see text]C in pure He. The experimental results indicate that La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] has the best properties and is much suitable for SOFC interconnect material application.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution pattern transfers in the nano-scale regime have been considerable challenges in ‘soft lithography’ to achieve nanodevices with enhanced performances. In this technology, the resolution of pattern integrations is significantly rely on the materials' properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps. Since commercial PDMS stamps have shown limitations in nano-scale resolution soft lithography due to their low physical toughness and high thermal expansion coefficients, we developed stiffer, photocured PDMS silicon elastomers designed, specifically for nano-sized soft lithography and photopatternable nanofabrications.

The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach for optimally organizing a variety of different unit cell designs within a large lattice such that the bulk behavior of the lattice exhibits a desired Young’s modulus with a graded change in thermal expansion over its geometry. This lattice, called a graded microarchitectured material, can be sandwiched between two other materials with different thermal expansion coefficients to accommodate their different expansions or contractions caused by changing temperature while achieving a desired uniform stiffness. First, this paper provides the theory necessary to calculate the thermal expansion and Young’s modulus of large multi-material lattices that consist of periodic (i.e., repeating) unit cells of the same design. Then it introduces the theory for calculating the graded thermal expansions of a large multimaterial lattice that consists of non-periodic unit cells of different designs. An approach is then provided for optimally designing and organizing different unit cells within a lattice such that both of its ends achieve the same thermal expansion as the two materials between which the lattice is sandwiched. A MATLAB tool is used to generate images of the undeformed and deformed lattices to verify their behavior and various examples are provided as case studies. The theory provided is also verified and validated using finite element analysis and experimentation.
