Shadow Side

The study of accelerating Airy-family beams has made significant progress, not only in terms of numerical and experimental investigations, but also in conjunction with many potential applications. However, the curvature of such beams (and hence their acceleration) is usually greater than the wavelength. Relatively recently, a new type of localized wave beams with subwavelength curvature, called photonic hooks, was discovered. This paper briefly reviews the substantial literature concerning photonic jet and photonic hook phenomena, based on the photonic jet principle. Meanwhile, the photonic jet ensemble can be produced by optical wave diffraction at 2D phase diffraction gratings. The guidelines of jets’ efficient manipulation, through the variation of both the shape and spatial period of diffraction grating rulings, are considered. Amazingly, the mesoscale dielectric Janus particle, with broken shape or refractive index symmetry, is used to generate the curved photonic jet—a photonic hook—emerging from its shadow-side surface. Using the photonic hook, the resolution of optical scanning systems can be improved to develop optomechanical tweezers for moving nanoparticles, cells, bacteria and viruses along curved paths and around transparent obstacles. These unique properties of photonic jets and hooks combine to afford important applications for low-loss waveguiding, subdiffraction-resolution nanopatterning and nanolithography.

Theoretical Considerations

This paper presents the new type of head loading the columns, comprising of elements making a side surface of circular cylinders. It demonstrates a constructional solution of forcing and receiving heads, as well as theoretical considerations related to the determination of boundary conditions, taking into account the loading of needle rolling bearings or rigid elements in the loading heads. Results of experimental investigations of the free vibration of columns having various constructions of receiving heads were presented. In the case of columns for which rigid elements were installed in the receiving heads, the rigidity of equivalent rotational spring is determined, which takes into account the rigidity of the free end of the column caused by sliding friction existing in the loading head elements. The value of critical force and the course of the natural frequency against external load for given geometry and physical constants of the column are determined.

AbstractA new type of modular metamaterials with reprogrammable mechanical properties is proposed based on the multistability in decoupled units. This metamaterial consists of periodically arranged foldable obelisk-like (FO) units, and each unit has three interchangeable states: two different soft states and a stiff state. Therefore, such metamaterial can possess various mechanical properties with different state combinations of units. Both theoretical and experimental investigations are conducted to understand the multistability in one unit and the reprogrammed mechanical properties in a two-dimensional tessellation. Additionally, we investigate the inverse question that whether the identical force response can be generated with different geometrical design of the metamaterial and propose a way to build 3D metamaterials with intended architectures. This work establishes general principles for designing mechanical metamaterials with independently transformable modules, and opens new avenues for various potential applications such as: self-locking materials, impact mitigation and stiffness transformation materials.

Abstract This paper describes a new type of hydraulic rotary actuator specifically developed to provide precision motion control in a very large, man rated, underwater telerobotic manipulator system. The high pressure, high torque rotary actuators are hydrostatically balanced, provide continuous rotation, constant torque output, exhibit minimal “stick-slip” and zero backlash. It is believed that the combination of features and the performance exhibited by these actuators represent an improvement in actuator technology to such an extent as to make projects previously determined unfeasible, now practical. Features of particular design value are a very large diameter through bore, and a truly modular design permitting use as an integral structural member. This paper will address design rationale, operating principles, key design features, product development highlights, an astronaut trainer case study, future development and potential applications.

The scattering of electromagnetic plane waves by triangular prism and its truncated form (the isosceles triangle and the trapezoid are transverse sections, respectively) has been studied in order to determine possibility of high field intensity (photonic jet) formation. Using high-resolution finite-difference time-domain simulation, an optimal relationship between the wavelength and the size of the prism was found to form photonic jet with sub wavelength waist on the shadow side of the prism. Truncation of the prism (with trapezoids as transverse sections) leads to an improvement in the characteristics of photonic jets (intensity, length and waist). A qualitative explanation of the simulation results obtained is presented.

AbstractRapid advances in high power electronics packaging require the development of new heat sink materials. Advanced composites designed to provide thermal expansion control as well as improved thermal conductivity have the potential to provide benefits in the removal of excess heat from electronic devices. Carbon-carbon (C-C) composits are under consideration for several military and space electronic applications including SEM-E electronic boxes. The high cost of C-C composits has greatly hindered their wide spread commercialization. A new manufacturing process has been developed to produce high thermal conductivity (over 400 W/mK) C-C composites at greatly reduced cost (less than $50/lb). This new material has potential applications as both a heat sink and a substrate. Dielectric coatings such as A1N and diamond were applied to this new type of heat sink material. Processing, as well as mechanical and thermal properties of this new class of heat sink material will be presented.

AbstractGraphene (graphene) is a new type of two-dimensional inorganic nanomaterial developed in recent years. It can be used as an ideal inorganic nanofiller for the preparation of polymer nanocomposites because of its high mechanical strength, excellent electrical conductivity and plentiful availability (from graphite). In this review, the preparation methods of graphene/polymer nanocomposites, including solution blending, melt blending and in situ polymerization, are introduced in order to study the relationship between these methods and the final characteristics and properties. Each method has an influence on the final characteristics and properties of the nanocomposites. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed. In addition, a variety of nanocomposites with different properties, such as mechanical properties, electronic conductivity, thermal conductivity and thermal properties, are summarized comprehensively. The potential applications of these nanocomposites in conductive materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, photocatalytic materials and so on, are briefly presented. This review demonstrates that polymer/graphene nanocomposites exhibit superior comprehensive performance and will be applied in the fields of new materials and novel devices. Future research directions of the nanocomposites are also presented.

This article presents a new micro-feed mechanism, whose main transmission component is the nut–rotary ball screw pair. The screw and nut are driven by two motors, and they rotate in the same direction, with their movements enabling micro-feeding. The main contribution of the micro-feed mechanism is to avoid the inevitable low-speed nonlinear creeping phenomenon caused by the inherent properties of traditional electromechanical servo system structure, thus realizing high precision micro-feed. In this study, the motion state of the working ball is analyzed using the principle of differential geometry, the friction at the contact points is calculated, the balance equation for force and moment is established, the influences of the screw and nut on the kinematic parameters of the ball at different velocities and the differences in the motion states of the ball in different drive modes are studied, and the mechanical efficiency of the dual-driven ball screw mechanism is calculated. The potential applications of the new micro-feed mechanism and the results of numerical analysis can be applied to advanced technology fields such as robotics, suspensions, powertrain, national defense, integrated electronics, optoelectronics, medicine, and genetic engineering, so that the new system can have a lower stable speed limit and achieve precise micro-feed control.

Coherent Tunneling

Nanocluster structures can be easily modified in necessary direction and by controlled way in femtonanophotonics experiments. The variation of the key topology parameters can result in new type of the quantum correlation states/size effect for charged particles. In our earlier experiments we studied laser-induced topological nanoclusters structures of different types in thin films with unique phenomena in electrophysics and optics (see [1-3]). A simple 2-steps mechanism for enhancement of quantum behavior (e.g. in electroconductivity) exists for different conditions. First, when inelastic length linelastic > acluster we have no incoherent electron-phonon (e-ph) scattering, i.e. the coherent process takes place. Second, when de Broglie wave length λdB ≡ ℓcoh < Λ, (acluster – cluster size , Λ – spatial period of nanoparticle distribution) the coherent tunneling without loss occurs, and a long-range order with interference of the states takes place in the medium due to lattice structure.
