Evolution of modes in a metal-coated nano-fiber

Mechanisms, Models, and Simulations of Metal-Coated Fiber Consolidation

Recent experimental studies of the hot isostatic consolidation of Ti-6Al-4V–coated SiC fibers contained in cylindrical canisters have revealed an unexpectedly high rate of creep densification. A creep consolidation model has been developed to analyze its origin. The initial stage of consolidation has been modeled using the results of contact analyses for perfectly plastic and power-law creeping...

Sensitive Detection of Nano-Scale Vibrations by the Metal-Coated Fiber Tip at the Liquid-Air Interface

Sensitive Detection of Nano-Scale Vibrations by the Metal-Coated Fiber Tip at the Liquid-Air Interface

Nano plasmon polariton modes of a wedge cross section metal waveguide.

Optical plasmon-polariton modes confined in both transverse dimensions to significantly less than a wavelength are exhibited in open waveguides structured as sharp metal wedges. The analysis reveals two distinctive modes corresponding to a localized mode on the wedge point and surface mode propagation on the abruptly bent interface. These predictions are accompanied by unique field distribution...

A Fiber Damage Model for Early Stage Consolidation of Metal-coated Fibers

Recent studies of the high temperature consolidation of titanium alloy coated c+alumina fiber tows and BC monofilaments have both revealed the widespread occurrence of fiber bending and fracture during early stage consolidation. This damage was shown to arise from the bending of unaligned fibers during consolidation and was found to be affected by the mechanical behavior of the metal-metal cont...
