Nanocoining, a new type of nanoimprinting technology, is essentially graphic copying. Ensuring the indenter's accuracy and the transfer's integrity is crucial. Structured tool (ST)-metal workpiece interface commonly exists in adherence phenomenon during the nanoimprint. To reduce the adherence of workpieces in ST, it is remarkable to illustrate the adhesion mechanism. The molecular dynamic simulation model for indenting aluminum with a diamond ST indenter was established, and the influence of critical process parameters on adhesion, including the indenter geometry, indenter temperature, and indenter speed, was investigated. The results demonstrate that various factors significantly influence adhesion, including the van der Waals force, surface energy, temperature, mechanical embedding, diffusion, and holding stage. The mechanism of adhesion can be composed of three parts: the mechanical embedding caused by the large range of cavity filling of the indenter, the slow thermal diffusion and thermal migration of aluminum atoms along the indenter and the combined effect of thermal-tensile stress in the demolding process. The intensity of adhesion is affected by several factors, namely the degree of plastic deformation during loading and unloading, atomic thermal migration caused by system temperature, and the magnitude of tensile stress during the demolding stage. The geometry of the indenter exerts the most significant influence on the van der Waals force, surface energy, imprinting force, and unloading force. Additionally, the omission of the holding stage during processing contributes to a reduction in adhesion. This study provides atomic-level insights into the adhesive properties of metallic materials in the nanocoining process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics A-Solids","volume":"109 ","pages":"Article 105500"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The metamaterial is formed by periodical mass-lever inertial amplifier and spring-MRE resonators connected to a base beam. The Galerkin method is employed to theoretically investigate the controllably ultrawide tunability of a low-frequency bandgap in terms of the MRE properties, the mass-lever inertial amplification and the geometric nonlinearity conditions.

With the same target frequency of bandgap, the proposed system exhibits a lighter resonator mass than the traditional metamaterials.

Adhesive forces are modeled using the Maugis–Dugdale adhesive theory, while the Steigmann–Ogden surface mechanical theory describes the surface effects of the graded coating. Within the contact region, normal and tangential tractions adhere to the extended Amontons’ friction law. The governing equations and boundary conditions of the nanocontact problem are reformulated into Fredholm integral equations, which are solved numerically using Gauss–Jacobi quadratures and a self-designed iterative algorithm. Validation against existing literature results demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of the proposed solution method and numerical algorithm.

While the treatment is extended to the case of mode III (antiplane shear) which permits closed form results, we also discuss two ways to deal with the likely effect of material’s grading on strength. In one, already explored in the previous paper, the strength is a power law of the modulus, and we suggest an “optimal” design by keeping the dominant stress constantly equal to the strength. In a second method, we propose to cancel the singularity in the strain energy density, which requires a much <em>stronger</em> grading, and we also possibly take into account that the critical strain energy density is a power law of the modulus. Noticing that only in the presence of a singularity a length scale can be defined experimentally by testing a very large notch and a very small one, according to the Theory of Critical Distances (TCD), the effect of cancelling singularity also implies independence on size/scale and constant strength. It is concluded that the technique is much more powerful than drilling a hole or rounding the tip of the notch/crack.
