چکیده

In this paper, a multilevel component mode synthesis (MCMS) approach is presented for the calculation of the phonon density of states (PDOS) of nanocomposite structures. In this approach, the nanocomposite structures are described by hierarchical levels of substructures. The phonon frequencies and modes are first computed for the bottom level substructures by using the theory of lattice dynamics. The computed component modes are then synthesized by using a quasi-static component mode synthesis (QSM) technique to obtain the phonon modes of the upper-level substructures in a bottom-up manner. By repeating this procedure, the PDOS of the entire nanostructure can be obtained. The proposed approach, while retains the atomic description of the nanocomposite structure, significantly reduces the computational cost of the calculation. Numerical calculations show that the proposed approach provides accurate results with a much less computational cost. The PDOS of several 1-D atom chains and 2-D atom sheets are computed by using the MCMS.

We have calculated the phonon frequencies of KC1 along symmetry directions using an approach which is a combination of the frozen phonon and force constants methods. We also calculated Griineisen parameters for all modes at X and L points in the Brillouin zone. Finally, the slope of acoustic dispersion curves around zone center were used to calculate the three independent elastic coefficien...

Investigation on Wear Behavior of W-Cu Nanocomposite Fabricated Through Thermochemical Synthesis

In this work, homogeneous thermochemical co-precipitation method was used to fabricate W-25wt%Cu nanocomposite. Synthesized nanocomposite powder was calcined and reduced. A hydrogen atmosphere sintering at 1200oC for 105 consolidated the product up to a density close to 98% theoretical density. Wear experiment were carried out using a pin-ondisc set up at three normal loads of 5, 10 and 15 N an...

بازنگری بر خانواده مرموز Hg: یک مطالعه جامع براساس نظریه تابعی چگالی

  We review theoretical investigations of high-temperature superconductors which have been performed by density functional theory. The main subject of our study is the Hg-based family of the superconducting cuprates, which demonstrates unusual and still puzzling properties. We show that the first-principles approach is able to describe the effects of chemical doping and pressure on the structur...

Damage identification of structures using second-order approximation of Neumann series expansion

In this paper, a novel approach proposed for structural damage detection from limited number of sensors using extreme learning machine (ELM). As the number of sensors used to measure modal data is normally limited and usually are less than the number of DOFs in the finite element model, the model reduction approach should be used to match with incomplete measured mode shapes. The second-order a...
