Nonlinear quantum metrology using coupled nanomechanical resonators [PDF]

open access: yesNew J. Phys. 10 No 12, 125018 (2008)., 2008
We consider a nanomechanical analogue of a nonlinear interferometer, consisting of two parallel, flexural nanomechanical resonators, each with an intrinsic Duffing nonlinearity and with a switchable beamsplitter-like coupling between them. We calculate the precision with which the strength of the nonlinearity can be estimated and show that it scales as

Elasticity of Diametrically Compressed Microfabricated Woodpile Lattices

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Modulus–porosity relationship is derived for woodpile lattices with struts under diametrical compression. The formula presented here that Young's modulus is proportional to the square of the volume fraction E˜ρ2$E \sim \left(\rho\right)^{2}$ is shown to be consistent with computations and laboratory experiments on 3D‐printed samples.

Flexural strength and hardness of direct and indirect composites [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Oral Research, 2009
The objective of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength (sigma f) and hardness (H) of direct and indirect composites, testing the hypotheses that direct resin composites produce higher sigma f and H values than indirect composites and that these properties are positively related.

The OpenFlexure Block Stage: Sub-100 nm fibre alignment with a monolithic plastic flexure stage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As 3D printers become more widely available, researchers are able to rapidly produce components that may have previously taken weeks to have machined. The resulting plastic components, having high surface roughness, are often not suitable for high-precision optomechanics. However, by playing to the strengths of 3D printing---namely the ability to print

Sand-Filler Structural Material with Low Content of Polyethylene Binder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Currently, most of the waste plastics cannot be recycled, causing serious environmental concerns. In this research, we investigated a compaction formation technology to fabricate structural materials with thermoplastic binders. When the compaction pressure was 70~100 MPa, with only ~10 wt% polyethylene binder, the flexural strength was greater than ...

Improved Mechanical Performance of Epoxy Systems with Low Loadings of Milled Carbon Fiber via Chemical Surface Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The authors explore thermally initiated diazonium chemical surface modification as a means of improving the mechanical performance of milled carbon fibers in epoxy matrix systems at varying loadings by weight. They report significant improvements at <1% w/w loading through examination of flexural and tensile strength and modulus.

Investigating the mechanical properties of wood flour/ polypropylene/ nanoclay composite [PDF]

open access: yesتحقیقات علوم چوب و کاغذ ایران, 2013
The effect of nanoclay and coupling agent contents on the mechanical properties of wood flour/ polypropylene/ nanoclay composites was investigated. Wood flour content was constant at 40%, maleic anhydride at two levels of 2 and 4% and nanoclay (Cloisite ...

A note on the temperature dependence of the flexural strength of a porcelain

open access: greenDental Materials, 2002
The purpose of this study is to determine the temperature dependence of the flexural strength of a dental porcelain (IPS-Classic Dentin; manufacturer: Ivoclar, Liechtenstein) with temperature between its glass transition (T(g) = 581.7 degrees C) and room temperature.The flexural strength was measured in three-point bending tests on an Instron 4204 ...
