Due to the rise of biological and MEMS technology in recent years, some micro flow system components have been paid attentions to developed by many investigators. The importance of micro-pumps manufactured is higher than the other part of micro flow system since it is the power source of the entire micro-flow system and responsible for driving working fluid in the microfluidic system. In actual operation, the instability and bad dynamic characteristics of the micro-pump will cause larger fluid flow mobility error, such as transport behavior and response procedures failure, etc., and even damage the microfluidic system. Therefore, to investigate the stability and dynamic characteristics of a micro pump is necessary. The miniature piezoelectric film micro-pump, made by Microjet Technology Co., Ltd., is employed to study in this work. The computer graphics software SolidWorks is used to build the model of the micro pump. Then, The Finite element analysis (FEA), ANSYS Workbench, is also employed to analyze the dynamic characteristics of this micro pump.

Unlike the solid-solid contact of traditional micro acceleration switch, liquid metal can be utilized to solve the disadvantage of solid-solid contact, such as contact wear and signal bounce. Liquid-metal micro switches have demonstrated no contact bounce, low switch-on time, low contact resistance, long life, and the capability to handle large currents. So the liquid-metal micro acceleration switches have attracted researcher’s attentions increasingly. To investigate the flow characteristics of mercury droplet in micro acceleration switch, this paper establishes numerical models of micro acceleration switch by using FLUENT. The effect of contact angle, droplet volume and temperature are discussed in this paper. Based on the VOF-CSF model of FLUENT, a serial of simulations were performed. The simulation results show that the influence of contact angle and droplet volume on flow characteristics is serious, and the influence of temperature is small. As compared with theoretical analysis, simulations are in good agreement with theoretical analysis.

Nano/micro-imprinting technology base on polymer material coating has attracted the increasing attentions throughout the world in the past several decades, and it is progressively developing into the hot topic at present, in which, how to improve the manufacturing efficiency is becoming the urgent issue to be resolved. Polymer?s curing process is exactly complicated and sophisticated, which involves simultaneously performing physical and chemical changes, when the curing reaction reaches certain level, the system will abruptly transform into insoluble, non-melting gel with rapidly increased viscosity and rigidity, which can generate fixed deformation under persistent external pressure. In this paper, the plastic deformation capacity of epoxy resin in the curing process is investigated by the micro-dimple imprinting experiment, and the relationship between forming precision and curing degree is ascertained adopting the DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) method. In addition, the instantaneous micro-imprinting technology based on the micro-grooves is explored, and the experimental results indicate that the forming precision can surpass 90%. The paper will establish a novel avenue to apply the nano/micro imprinting technology into practical engineering.

AbstractOwing to robust and optimal specification, model predictive control method has received wide attentions over recent years. Since in certain operational conditions, an Atomic/scanning Force Microscope (AFM) shows chaos behavior, the chaos feedback control of the AFM system is considered. According to the nonlinear model of forces interacting between the tip of micro cantilever and the substrate of AFM; the nonlinear control methods are proposed. In the paper, the chaos control of a micro cantilever AFM based on the nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) technique is presented. Through software simulation results, the effectiveness of the designed NMPC of the AFM is assessed. The simulation results together with analytical stability proofs indicate that the proposed method is effective in keeping the system in a stable range.

Micro forming is a promising technology and has drawn global attentions due to the urgent requirements on miniaturised products. Micro hydro deep drawing (MHDD) is a typical micro forming method and its products are widely applied in various fields, such as micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), medical and aerospace areas. However, tiny sizes of both products and tools are obstacles to investigate this novel technology. Therefore, finite element method (FEM) is adopted and modified to study the influence of processing parameters on micro drawing process and produced products. In this study, a normal hydro deep drawing model was developed, and then a voronoi blank model was generated to consider the size effects of materials. Additionally, a surface layer model was created based on the voronoi blank model. Therefore, the open and closed lubricant theory can be fulfilled and friction behaviour in MHDD can be considered. Subsequently, different processing parameters, such as hydraulic pressure and material inhomogeneity, were investigated. Simulation results indicate that a proper hydraulic pressure improves drawability and shape accuracy of the drawn cups. Moreover, material inhomogeneity affects the quality of drawn cups.

Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are catching more and more attentions for their broad application in civilian and military fields. Since the theories on the aerodynamics of low Reynolds number are not maturely presented and the wind-tunnel experiments cost long periods and great expenses. The numerical simulation based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a good method to choose. Through three-dimensional simulation of the wings, the aerodynamic characteristics of the flows around MAVs can be easily obtained. The tip vortices produced around low-Reynolds-number and low-aspect-ratio wings can increase the lift and stall angles. The result of numerical simulation can be used as references of theory analysis and wind-tunnel experiments.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse questionne la qualité en éducation en abordant le concept de « l’a-qualité », par analogie au modèle de « l’a-synthèse » (Perez, 2008). Le préfixe « a » est suspensif, invitant à suspendre la qualité éducative du point de vue normatif pour l’interroger au niveau de son construit théorique. L’a-qualité est abordée dans ses deux facettes de micro-attentions et de micro-violences dans le pays du Cèdre, en proie à de violentes crises. L’objectif de notre thèse vise à lever le voile sur la place de l’humain qui interagit avec autrui et avec l’environnement, constituant l’angle mort de la qualité et le seul rempart contre la mouvance sociétale. La question de recherche suivante guide l’étude : Quelle a-qualité humaniste peut-elle définir l’angle mort de la qualité d’un établissement scolaire afin de répondre à l’incertitude du contexte libanais ? Nous avançons l’hypothèse que l’a-qualité humaniste se centre sur la formation holistique des acteurs éducatifs, conjugue leurs capacités distinctives et développe une institution éco-émergente lui permettant de relever les défis du contexte incertain. Notre thèse s’inscrit dans une approche mixte, selon le design séquentiel explicatif de Creswell (2014), dans une complémentarité des données quantitatives et qualitatives. Les résultats dévoilent que l’a-qualité est davantage perçue dans le contexte incertain par l’absence de micro-violences que par la présence de micro-attentions. Face aux mutations sociétales, les acteurs éducatifs semblent plus sensibles à la micro-violence qu’à la micro-attention, les pratiques dommageables pour les humains gardant des traces souvent indélébiles. Dans ce sens, l’école en devenir s’inscrit dans son contexte, en devenant éco-émergente, apte à transformer les obstacles en opportunités pour apprendre et se développer. Elle forme les acteurs éducatifs aux compétences de vie, soucieuse de leur bien-être, au sein d’une altérité bienveillante, valorisant la singularité de chacun, dans une intelligence collective (De Ketele, 2020a) au service d’un monde commun et non uniforme (Mutuale, 2020)This thesis explores education quality by introducing the concept of "a-quality," akin to the model of "a-synthesis" (Perez, 2008). The prefix "a" is suspensive, inviting us to explore educational quality by examining it at the level of its theoretical constructs. A-quality is approached in its dual aspects of micro-attention and micro-violence in Lebanon, beset by severe crises. Our thesis aims to unveil the role of the human who interacts with others and with the environment, an overlooked aspect of quality and the sole defence against societal flux. The research question that guides this study is: What humanistic a-quality aspects can define the blind spot of school quality to address the uncertainty of the Lebanese context? We hypothesize that humanistic a-quality focuses on the holistic development of educational actors, harnesses their distinctive capacities, and cultivates an eco-emergent institution to meet the challenges in an uncertain context. Our thesis employs a mixed-methods approach, following Creswell's (2014) sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative and qualitative data. The findings reveal that a-quality is perceived more in uncertain contexts by the absence of micro-violence rather than by the presence of micro-attentions. Faced with societal shifts, educational actors appear more attuned to micro-violence than micro-attention, as harmful practices leave often indelible marks on humans. Therefore, the evolving school embeds itself in its context, becoming eco-emergent, and capable of transforming obstacles into learning opportunities and growth. It empowers educational actors with life skills, mindful of their well-being within a benevolent otherness, valuing everyone’s uniqueness within a collective intelligence (De Ketele, 2020a) serving the common good and a non-uniform world (Mutuale, 2020)

Micro-/nanomotors are self-propelled micro-/nanomachines, which are capable of converting the surrounding fuels into mechanical movement or force. Inspired by naturally occurring biomolecular motor proteins, scientists extensively paid great attentions to synthetic micro-/nanomotors. Especially, a number of researchers devoted their efforts onto catalytic micro-/nanomotors. In the past few decades, several advanced developments and excellent contributions have been made in catalytic micro-/nanomotors. The future of this research field can be bright, but some major existing challenges such as biocompatible materials and fuels, smart controlling, and specifically practical applications are still required to be resolved. Therefore, it is essential for us to learn the state of the art of catalytic micro-/nanomotors. In this chapter, the propulsion mechanisms, fabrication methods, controlling strategies, and potential applications of catalytic micro-/nanomotors are presented and summarized.

In the framework of laser-induced micro- and nanoscale material modification, we present results on ultrafast Bessel beam-glass interaction, inducing extended length scale material modification on single-shot basis. The possibility of high-level energy localization using non-diffractive Bessel beams has been shown using chirped pulses and moderate focusing conditions, drawing attentions in the fields of nonlinear optics and large volume material processing [1, 2]. Here, we show how ultrashort Bessel laser pulse interacts with fused silica glass in a tight focusing geometry and the follow-up material relaxation over a broad range of temporal domain i.e. ns – μs. The consequence of such interaction in terms of ultimate material transformation will be discussed.

Because of their good performance to speed up MEMS system simulation processes, macromodels have aroused lots of attentions of scientists in the last decades. However, studies on FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) MEMS devices still can not satisfy the macromodeling requests because of the high complexity of fluid fields. A new method based on modal analysis and POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) is tentatively put forward to reduce the order of FSI MEMS models. The structure macromodeling theory is firstly reviewed. Then the fluid field macromodeling approach is discussed in detail. At last, a 2D fixed-fixed micro-beam is analyzed and the results show that the macromodel extracted in this method can highly decrease the system degrees of freedom, while its precision is still comparable with that of detailed models.

Electrokinetic transport in nanofluidics has attracted many attentions in recent years due to its potential applications in biomedical analysis and energy conversion systems. The biggest challenge to model the electrokinetic transport using atomistic simulations is the extensive cost in calculation of the long-range electrostatic force between ions. In this work, we develop an efficient molecular approach to simulate electrokinetic transport in nano-scale. The long-range Coulombic interactions are treated using the Particle-Particle Particle-Mesh (P3M) scheme and the Poisson equation for electric potential is solved in physical space using an iterative multi-grid technique. We implement this approach to systematically investigate two examples: the electroosmotic flow in random rough channels and the electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD). Both cases pose important engineering applications as a mechanism for transporting small amount of liquid in micro and nano devices.

Full textAbstract:
Emulsification is an important process in various fields including foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals. Emulsification operation is commonly conducted using conventional emulsification devices, such as high-speed blenders, colloid mills, high-pressure homogenizers, and ultrasonic homogenizers. However, these emulsification devices result in the production of polydisperse emulsions with wide droplet size distributions and poor controllability in droplet size and its distribution. In contrast, monodisperse emulsions consisting of monosize droplets have received a great deal of attentions over the past decade due to their high-tech applications, e.g., monosize microparticles as spacers for electronic devices and monosize micro-carriers for drug delivery systems (DDS). Our group proposed microchannel (MC) emulsification as a promising technique to produce monodisperse emulsions in the mid 1990s. Micro/Nanochannel (MNC) emulsification enables generating monosize droplets with the smallest coefficient of variation (CV) of below 5% using MC and nanochannel (NC) arrays of unique geometry. The resultant droplet size, which ranged from 0.5 to 200 μm, can be precisely controlled by channel geometry. Droplet generation for MNC emulsification is very mild and does not require any external shear stress; a dispersed phase that passed through channels is transformed spontaneously into monosize droplets inside a continuous-phase domain. The aim of this paper is to present recent developments in MNC emulsification chips, particularly focusing on asymmetric straight-through MC arrays for large-scale production of monodisperse emulsions. Asymmetric straight-through MC array chips were fabricated using a silicon-on-insulator wafer. Numerous asymmetric straight-through MCs each consisting of a microslot and a narrow MC were positioned in the central region of the chip. Monosize droplets were stably generated via asymmetric straight-through MCs at high production rates. Below a critical droplet production rate, monosize droplets were generated via asymmetric straight-through MCs, with droplet size and size distribution independent of the droplet productivity. The use of a large asymmetric straight-through MC array chip achieved the mass production of monosize tetradecane oil droplets at ∼1 L/h. The simulation results using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) agreed well with the experimental results and provided useful information, such as the movement of the oil-water interface during droplet generation. Monosize submicron droplets were also obtained using NC emulsification chips made of single-crystal silicon.

Because of its unique properties, graphene has attracted the attentions of many academic research groups and recently, the industry. One of the promising applications of the graphene is in micro/nano-sensors, e.g. using it as a pressure sensor. To use it in mechanical-based nano-sensors, it is very important to investigate the mechanical behavior of the nano-sized graphene sheet and its sensitivity to the medium changes applied on its faces. In this work, we use the molecular dynamics MD method and simulate the behavior of graphene sheet under differential water pressure influences. In this regard, a square straight monolayer graphene sheet is placed as a separator diaphragm between two different water boxes having different pressure/density magnitudes. The graphene atoms located on four sides around the graphene sheet are fixed during the simulations. At first, the two water boxes are in the same condition, i.e., they are a copy of each other. Next, the density of one of the water boxes is changed abruptly to impose the desired pressure difference. We also investigate the mass transfer through the imposed graphene sheet and its impact on the achieved graphene sheet behavior in this study. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the graphene behavior in this manner. Indeed, one objective of this work is to find the sensitivity of nanoscale graphene sheet to low and high pressure/density differences by investigating its deflections.

Abstract Inertial focusing of microscale particles has increasingly attracted attentions in various microfluidic applications, such as manipulations of particles/cells, flow cytometry, and highsensitive detection, owing to its passive, robust, and high-throughput nature. While most fundamental studies in literatures have focused on the lateral migration and transverse equilibrium position of single particles in micro-channels with various cross sections, very few of them have dug into the forming and ordering mechanisms of an inertially focused particle train. In this study, the forming inertially focused particle trains are investigated by coupling the lattice Boltzmann method with the immersed boundary method (IB-LBM). The inertial migrations of 6 particles (40 μm in diameter) are simulated in a square microchannel (100 μm in width). The results indicated that the equilibrium axis distance between two neighboring particles is strongly affected by complicated particle-to-particle and particle-to-liquid interactions. Two critical length fractions Lf,c1 and Lf,c2 are observed, which have insignificant effect on balanced distance between two neighboring particles in a particle train.

Energy generation from the use of biomass is gaining an increasing attention. Gasification of biomass at present, is widely accepted as a popular technical route to produce fuel gas for the application in boilers, engine, gas/micro turbine or fuel cell. Up to now, most of researchers have focused their attentions only on fixed-bed gasification and fluidised bed gasification under air-blown conditions. In that case, the producer gas is contaminated by high tar contents and particles which could lead to the corrosion and wear of blades of turbine. Furthermore, both the technologies, particularly fixed bed gasification, are not flexible for using multiple biomass-fuel types and also not feasible economically and environmentally for large scale application up to 10∼50 MWth. An innovative circulating fluidised bed concept has been considered in our laboratory for biomass gasification thereby overcoming these challenges. The concept combines and integrates partial oxidation, fast pyrolysis (with an instantaneous drying), gasification, and tar cracking, as well as a shift reaction, with the purpose of producing a high quality of gas, in terms of low tar level and particulates carried out in the producer gas, and overall emissions reduction associated with the combustion of producer gas. This paper describes our innovative concept and presents some experimental results. The results indicate that the gas yield can be above 1.80Nm3/kg with the calorific value of 4.5–5.0MJ/Nm3, and the fluctuation of the gas yield during the period of operation is 3.3%–3.5% for the temperature of 750–800 °C. In genera, the results achieved support our concept as a promising alternative for the gasifier coupled with micro/gas turbine to generate electricity.

Abstract High quality products are primarily dependent on the accurate translation motion of each linear sliding guide rail (LSGR) of CNC machine tools in the advanced manufacturing industry. The existing researches about LSGR precision pay much more attentions on the components dimensional variation and deformations, while micro-geometric form errors (such as surface roughness) have been ignored in most previous studies. Therefore, the true contact interface property is so crucial that it will affect macro-mechanical performance, such as friction, wear, assembly relation, tightness, fatigue strength, etc. In order to obtain the contact behaviors of LSGR accurately, a novel finite element model contact analysis is proposed in this paper. Instead of adopting the conventional statistic characterization method, such as Greenwood-Williamson (GW) model, the rough slider surface generated by the fractal function get closer to the real surface topography. In this study, the true contact area, contact pressure, contact stress and deformation are all investigated. Furthermore, the contact properties results of the present model are in a good agreement with other analytical solutions. In conclusion, the proposed finite element model combining with the fractal theory may provide an accurate contact analysis for LSGR. It is also great of guiding significance for the prediction of assembly quality and operation performance in high-precision measurement region as well as other precise engineering applications.
