The quasicontinuum (QC) method is a computational technique that can efficiently handle atomistic lattices by combining continuum and atomistic approaches. In this work, the QC method is combined with an adaptive algorithm, to obtain correct predictions of crack trajectories in failure simulations. Numerical simulations of crack propagation in elastic-brittle disordered lattices are performed for a two-dimensional example. The obtained results are compared with the fully resolved particle model. It is shown that the adaptive QC simulation provides a significant reduction of the computational demand. At the same time, the macroscopic crack trajectories and the shape of the force-displacement diagram are very well captured.

AbstractFunction elements (FE) are vital components of nanochannel-systems for artificially regulating ion transport. Conventionally, the FE at inner wall (FEIW) of nanochannel−systems are of concern owing to their recognized effect on the compression of ionic passageways. However, their properties are inexplicit or generally presumed from the properties of the FE at outer surface (FEOS), which will bring potential errors. Here, we show that the FEOS independently regulate ion transport in a nanochannel−system without FEIW. The numerical simulations, assigned the measured parameters of FEOS to the Poisson and Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations, are well fitted with the experiments, indicating the generally explicit regulating-ion-transport accomplished by FEOS without FEIW. Meanwhile, the FEOS fulfill the key features of the pervious nanochannel systems on regulating-ion-transport in osmotic energy conversion devices and biosensors, and show advantages to (1) promote power density through concentrating FE at outer surface, bringing increase of ionic selectivity but no obvious change in internal resistance; (2) accommodate probes or targets with size beyond the diameter of nanochannels. Nanochannel-systems with only FEOS of explicit properties provide a quantitative platform for studying substrate transport phenomena through nanoconfined space, including nanopores, nanochannels, nanopipettes, porous membranes and two-dimensional channels.

ABSTRACTThe paper presents crack propagation experiments on real flip chip specimens applied to reversible shear loading. Two specially designed micro testers will be introduced. The first tester provides very precise measurements of the force displacement hysteresis. The achieved resolutions have been I mN for force and 20 nm for displacement. The second micro tester works similar to the first one, but is designed for in-situ experiments inside the SEM. Since it needs to be very small in size it reaches only resolutions of 10 mN and 100nm, which is sufficient to achieve equivalence to the first tester. A cyclic triangular strain wave is used as load profile for the crack propagation experiment. The experiment was done with both machines applying equivalent specimens and load. The force displacement curve was recorded using the first micro mechanical tester. From those hysteresis, the force amplitude has been determined for every cycle. All force amplitudes are plotted versus the number of cycles in order to quantify the crack length. With the second tester, images were taken at every 10th … 100th cycle in order to locate the crack propagation. Finally both results have been linked together for a combined quatitive and spatial description of the crack propagation in flip chip solder joints.
