Thermal and Mechanical Behavior of Nano-structured Materials

Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, EMC - Mechanical Engineering.
This thesis consists of three parts. First, the numerical methods for Equation of Phonon Radiative Transport (EPRT) in 3D domains are derived and implemented by COMSOL PDE module based on Equation of Phonon Radiative Transport and Boltzmann Transport Equation theory, which can be used to analyze the phonon dominant thermal conduction problems in multiple-domain nano-structures. Second, a new symmetric in-situ nano-scale tensile test MEMS device is presented, which can continuously observe the nano-specimen at large strain in SEM. The optimum platinum EBID clamping operation parameters are reported, and its strength is estimated per experiment results on polyaniline non-wire. Finally, the high strain rate dynamic properties of two nano-grained aluminum alloy groups are investigated by Split-Hopkinson-Pressure-Bar tests, which demonstrate the material dynamic flow strength enhancement by adding ceramic nano-particles.
