Based on molecular dynamics method, a nanoindentation simulation of the silicon crystal is built and the load-displacement curve is drawn. According to the load-displacement curve, the elastic-plastic transition of silicon crystal is analyzed. The results show that the critical point in the elastic-plastic transition is between 15 and 20 angstroms. In addition, different crystal planes of silicon crystal are loaded for five cycles respectively; the nanohardness is calculated and the nanohardness curve is obtained. The results show that after the first plastic deformation of the silicon crystal surface is occurred, the surface will have a higher hardness and a higher elasticity. Therefore, in the ultra precision machining, in order to reduce the occurrence of damage, the depth of the processing should be controlled in the range of elasticity. Moreover, the method of small quantities in high frequency can increase mechanical properties on the surface.

This paper reports the mechanical properties of single crystal silicon surface changed with hydrogen atoms trapped by underwater boiling treatment. Nanoindentaion test using a Berkovich indenter in six different indentation loads ranging from 100 μN to 1000 μN was conducted to obtain the load-displacement curve. The energy dissipated in plastic deformation, i.e. plasticity energy, during indentation on silicon wafers with different carrier concentration (undoped, lightly and heavily boron doped silicon) were compared. After boiling treatment, increment in the plasticity energy was observed on silicon containing boron. This result suggests that hydrogen atoms trapped inside silicon enhanced dislocation mobility leading to larger plastic deformation.

Cesium Lithium Borate (CsLiB6O10 or CLBO) is the most effective non-linear crystal which generates ultraviolet harmonics of the Nd:YAG fundamental laser wavelength. In order to enhance the damage threshold, low CLBO surface roughness, by ultra-precision machining, is needed. Because the CLBO crystal has easy hydroscopic reaction and micro scratches in machining, ultra-precise machining of the CLBO crystal is a difficult technical problem. In this paper, the new lapping slurry and polishing slurry are introduced. And the deliquescence degree of CLBO is fallen to lowest. A new working technology is also adopted. After rough polishing, the concentration of ultra-precision polishing slurry is increased properly. So does the ultra-precision polishing speed, and the wiping speed is faster than the deliquescence speed. The CLBO crystal surface roughness can achieve 1nm and keep the surface quality well.

Based on ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) model, kinematical formulas of elliptical vibration cutting(EVC) is established, the paper presented relationship of vibration parameters effecting on surface roughness, machining accuracy and machining efficiency, revealed UEVC characteristics of high frequency and small amplitude are more conducive to improve surface roughness, advance EVC machining efficiency. Experiences of cutting the weak rigidity workpiece by the designed adjusting frequency elliptical transducer is proved that compared conventional turning, increasing vibration frequency and decreasing amplitude are result in improve surface roughness, and compared low frequency EVC, decrease amplitude are result in reduce the height of vibration ripples in cutting direction, and advance machining efficiency. So high frequency and small amplitude EVC is more conducive to precision machining and ultra-precision machining.

Taper-cutting experiments are important means of exploring the nano-cutting mechanisms of hard and brittle materials. Under current cutting conditions, the brittle-ductile transition depth (BDTD) of a material can be obtained through a taper-cutting experiment. However, taper-cutting experiments mostly rely on ultra-precision machining tools, which have a low efficiency and high cost, and it is thus difficult to realize in situ measurements. For taper-cut surfaces, three-dimensional microscopy and two-dimensional image calculation methods are generally used to obtain the BDTDs of materials, which have a great degree of subjectivity, leading to low accuracy. In this paper, an integrated system-processing platform is designed and established in order to realize the processing, measurement, and evaluation of taper-cutting experiments on hard and brittle materials. A spectral confocal sensor is introduced to assist in the assembly and adjustment of the workpiece. This system can directly perform taper-cutting experiments rather than using ultra-precision machining tools, and a small white light interference sensor is integrated for in situ measurement of the three-dimensional topography of the cutting surface. A method for the calculation of BDTD is proposed in order to accurately obtain the BDTDs of materials based on three-dimensional data that are supplemented by two-dimensional images. The results show that the cutting effects of the integrated platform on taper cutting have a strong agreement with the effects of ultra-precision machining tools, thus proving the stability and reliability of the integrated platform. The two-dimensional image measurement results show that the proposed measurement method is accurate and feasible. Finally, microstructure arrays were fabricated on the integrated platform as a typical case of a high-precision application.

In this paper, an investigation of cutting strategy is presented for the optimization of machining parameters in the ultra-precision machining of polar microstructures, which are used for optical precision measurement. The critical machining parameters affecting the surface generation and surface quality in the machining of polar microstructures are studied. Hence, the critical ranges of machining parameters have been determined through a series of cutting simulations, as well as cutting experiments. First of all, the influence of field of view (FOV) is investigated. After that, theoretical modeling of polar microstructures is built to generate the simulated surface topography of polar microstructures. A feature point detection algorithm is built for image processing of polar microstructures. Hence, an experimental investigation of the influence of cutting tool geometry, depth of cut, and groove spacing of polar microstructures was conducted. There are transition points from which the patterns of surface generation of polar microstructures vary with the machining parameters. The optimization of machining parameters and determination of the optimized cutting strategy are undertaken in the ultra-precision machining of polar microstructures.

In order to study the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) at different ages, 264 standard cubes were designed to test its direct shear strength and cube compressive strength while considering the parameters of age and recycled aggregate replacement ratio. The failure pattern and load–displacement curve of specimens at direct shearing were obtained; the direct shear strength and residual shear strength were extracted from the load–displacement curves. Experimental results indicate that the influence of the replacement ratio for the front and side cracks of RAC is insignificant, with the former being straight and the latter relatively convoluted. At the age of three days, the damaged interface between aggregate and mortar is almost completely responsible for concrete failure; in addition to the damage of coarse aggregates, aggregate failure is also an important factor in concrete failure at other ages. The load–displacement curve of RAC at direct shearing can be divided into elasticity, elastoplasticity, plasticity, and stabilization stages. The brittleness of concrete decreases with its age, which is reflected in the gradual shortening of the elastoplastic stage. At 28 days of age, the peak direct shear force increases with the replacement ratio, while the trend is opposite at ages of 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days, respectively. The residual strength of RAC decreases inversely to the replacement ratio, with the rate of decline growing over time. A two-parameter RAC direct shear strength calculation formula was established based on the analysis of age and replacement rate to peak shear force of RAC. The relationship between cube compressive strength and direct shear strength of recycled concrete at various ages was investigated.
