Electrorheological(ER) damper, a kind of intelligent mechanical device which can adjust the force steplessly by using the controllable characteristic of the electric field. ER damper has many advantages such as simple structure, low power consumption, fast response time and so on, so it has been successfully used in many fields. There are few reports on the study of impact load vibration with ER damper. In this paper, operating principle of ER damper was introduced, and the mechanical model between damping force and controlled electric field based on Bingham model was built. The control system model of ER damper under impact load was built and simulation analysis of Fuzzy-pi control algorithm was completed by use of Simulink. The simulation results show the Fuzzy-pi control algorithm has excellent control effect.

Predicting reinforcement textile permeability properties through simulation approaches is a repeatable and robust method which can capture complex behaviours during Liquid Composite Moulding processes. This paper compares the predicted permeability values obtained from conducting flow simulations on the same textile models using the FlowTex and Ansys CFX solvers. An automated tool, which has been developed and is presented, has been used for this, performing flow simulations on WiseTex generated meshes using Ansys CFX. This tool converts the voxel files exported from WiseTex into voxel meshes compatible with Ansys, representing the volume of resin within the unit cell. The voxel meshes are automatically cleaned, deleting any floating elements and the boundary regions are defined based on the unit cell size. The permeability comparison results for a range of idealised textile models are presented. Furthermore, the ability of both solvers to capture variations in unit cell geometric parameters is demonstrated. Finally, both solvers were used to predict the permeability values of unit cell models based on the textile used in the second permeability benchmark exercise [1]and these are compared with the experimental permeability values.

This special section of ASME Journal of Nanotechnology in engineering and Medicine focuses on reporting state-of-the-art nanoscale materials, devices, and systems for advanced biosensing, biomanipulation, and biofabrication. Such nanoscale materials, devices, and systems can be organic, inorganic, and hybrid, and their applications for advanced biosensing, biomanipulation, and biofabrication have generated significant impact for important biology and biomedical applications. Nanotechnology has seen rapid progress in recent years, with advanced capabilities to generate and manipulate precisely engineered nanoscale organic and inorganic materials and their assemblies pointing toward the emergence of disruptive functionalities for diverse biological and biomedical applications. Furthermore, nanofabricated devices and systems such as nanofluidics, nanoelectromechanical systems, and nanophotonic structures with critical dimensions comparable to the molecular scale open up new possibilities for direct observation, manipulation, and analysis of biomolecules, thus providing a novel basis for ultrasensitive and high-resolution sensors and diagnostic systems.

Three-dimensional printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing, has shown a significant increase in popularity as the cost of printers comes down and part accuracy and build quality continually improves. To date, the major limitation of the various additive manufacturing techniques is the limited range of print materials and properties, with 3d printed parts unable to be used in most load-bearing applications in robotics and other domains. In this paper, we present a technique for increasing the strength of 3d printed parts while retaining the benefits of the process such as ease and speed of implementation and complex part geometries. By carefully placing voids in the printed parts, which are later filled with higher-strength resins, we can improve the overall part strength and stiffness by up to 45% and 25%, respectively. We show three-point bend testing data comparing solid printed ABS samples with those strengthened through the fill compositing process, as well as examples of 3D printed parts used in robotic applications.

Fatigue crack initiation sites and the subsequent fatigue crack growth rate in riveted lap joints made of 2198-T8 Al-Li alloy were investigated through fractographic examinations. Two crack initiation sites were identified: 1) near the rivet holes and 2) at multiple sites along the faying surface. Fatigue crack tunneling was developed during the fatigue crack progression in all specimens, yielding final ductile fracture during the catastrophic fracture of the specimens. The fracture surface morphology exhibited shallow fatigue striations. The second phase constituents did not affect the fracture surface morphology. Multiple micro cracks and long interlaminar cracks occurred. Stereo (3-D) fracture surface morphologies indicate a meandering fracture surface, with local fatigue crack progressing along multiple directions and at different rates. Average crack growth rate ( da/dN ) along the width, thickness of the specimens and the feather lines were recorded, showing the effect of grain direction, alloying, and stress level on the fatigue crack growth behavior. The number of cycles to failure was also affected by the grain direction.

Damage in composite materials even in well-controlled laboratory conditions is a stochastic process. The main reason for the variability in observed damage patterns is primarily the spatial randomness of damage initiation sites, which is a direct result of the current manufacturing procedures for common composite materials. In an effort to provide a practical method for visualizing damage progression that could assist mechanical and damage behavior characterization, the combined use of two emerging non-contact and full field nondestructive methods is presented in this article. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and passive Infrared Thermography (IR) can be readily applied during testing of composite materials. The advantage of both techniques is that they provide high resolution deformation and thermal fields, respectively. Such fields especially under varying fatigue loading conditions have the potential to provide correlations between macroscopically observed changes in the mechanical behavior and spatially resolved "hot spots", directly related to final failure. Going beyond the simple combined use of the two techniques and based on their individual properties, a path to stitch information extracted from both and perform image-based monitoring of evolving damage in composites is described. Custom data acquisition, noise reduction and post-processing algorithms were created to allow the calculation of features that can provide information related to volume-dependent development of surface damage patterns and their correlations with both mechanical and other nondestructive information (i.e. provided by acoustics). This approach has the potential to provide a quantitative tool for the multispectral description of continuously evolving material states, which if reliably identified can also serve as direct inputs to physics-based computational models for progressing damage quantification and remaining useful life prediction.

In this study, porous ceramics are introduced as a backing element suitable for high temperature transducers. Acoustic impedance and attenuation can be regulated through control of the porosity and pore size, using scattering from micropores as the attenuation mechanism. Porosity is induced by mixing the ceramic powder with polyethylene particles. The polymer component burns during the sintering process and leaves behind spherical voids. Porosity and pore size are controlled through the polymer-to-ceramic weight ratio and poltyethylene particle size, respectively. In this manner, a porous mullite material is designed and manufactured to act as the binding agent for a gallium phosphate (GaPO_4) piezocrystal;this yields our goal of a wide-band signal with center frequency of 2.8 MHz and operating temperature up to 700 - 800℃. The design and fabrication process can be employed in manufacturing backing elements for a variety of transducers with specified center frequency and signal bandwidth.
