Effects of Pore Size on Fatigue Deformation Mechanism of Open-Cell Copper Foam at Low Stress Amplitude.

ABSTRACT: Axial compression-compression fatigue experiments on open-cell copper foams with different pore size were investigated in this paper. The effects of the strain amplitude on the fatigue properties were studied and found that there is an exponential relationship between the fatigue life and strain amplitude. The experimental results indicate that a smaller pore size is related to a lower fatigue life. The microstructures of failed copper foam tested at low stress amplitude were observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), suggests that different pore size related to different fatigue behavior. The fatigue failure mechanism of the open-cell copper foams were compared by experimental research.

Cyclic deformation and fatigue data for Ti-6Al-4V ELI under variable amplitude loading.

Project description:This article presents the strain-based experimental data for Ti-6Al-4V ELI under non-constant amplitude cyclic loading. Uniaxial strain-controlled fatigue experiments were conducted under three different loading conditions, including two-level block loading (i.e. high-low and low-high), periodic overload, and variable amplitude loading. Tests were performed under fully-reversed, and mean strain/stress conditions. For each test conducted, two sets of data were collected; the cyclic stress-strain response (i.e. hysteresis loops) in log10 increments, and the peak and valley values of stress and strain for each cycle. Residual fatigue lives are reported for tests with two-level block loading, while for periodic overload and variable amplitude experiments, fatigue lives are reported in terms of number of blocks to failure.

Visualizing size-dependent deformation mechanism transition in Sn.

Project description:Displacive deformation via dislocation slip and deformation twinning usually plays a dominant role in the plasticity of crystalline solids at room temperature. Here we report in situ quantitative transmission electron microscope deformation tests of single crystal Sn samples. We found that when the sample size was reduced from 450 nm down to 130 nm, diffusional deformation replaces displacive plasticity as the dominant deformation mechanism at room temperature. At the same time, the strength-size relationship changed from "smaller is stronger" to "smaller is much weaker". The effective surface diffusivity calculated based on our experimental data matches well with that reported in literature for boundary diffusion. The observed change in the deformation mode arises from the sample size-dependent competition between the Hall-Petch-like strengthening of displacive processes and Coble diffusion softening processes. Our findings have important implications for the stability and reliability of nanoscale devices such as metallic nanogaps.

Active drain system with reticulated open-pore foam-surface dressing for postoperative pancreatic fistula in a rat model.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most harmful complications after pancreatic resection. Efficient drainage affects the clinical outcome of POPF. Inefficient drain of the fluid collection should contribute greatly to the need of additional interventional drainage, secondary morbid complications, and death.MethodsA rat model of POPF was established by distal pancreatosplenectomy. A novel active drain system (ADS) for POPF was developed by wrapping polyvinyl alcohol sponges (PVA) to an end of the drainage tube. Passive drain system (PDS), ADS and ADS with PVA were used for POPF in rat models. The volume and amylase of ascites were measured. CT scan was applied to assess abdominal fluid collection. Rats pancreatic transection stumps were stained by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).ResultsThe volume of drainage of ADS with PVA group was less than that of PDS group and ADS group at late stage. CT scan showed obvious abdominal fluid collections in 2/8, 2/8 and 0/8 rats in PDS, ADS and ADS with PVA group separately. Macrofindings showed significant intra-abdominal adhesions and inflammation in PDS and ADS group but not in ADS with PVA group. H&E staining showed less inflammatory cells and destroyed pancreatic glands in ADS with PVA group.ConclusionADS with PVA drained ascites effectively in the rat model of POPF. The effective drainage of pancreatic juice reduced the inflammation of abdominal organs and pancreatic resection stumps, and might promote the healing of POPF.

Open-state structure and pore gating mechanism of the cardiac sodium channel.

Project description:The heartbeat is initiated by voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.5, which opens rapidly and triggers the cardiac action potential; however, the structural basis for pore opening remains unknown. Here, we blocked fast inactivation with a mutation and captured the elusive open-state structure. The fast inactivation gate moves away from its receptor, allowing asymmetric opening of pore-lining S6 segments, which bend and rotate at their intracellular ends to dilate the activation gate to ∼10 Å diameter. Molecular dynamics analyses predict physiological rates of Na+ conductance. The open-state pore blocker propafenone binds in a high-affinity pose, and drug-access pathways are revealed through the open activation gate and fenestrations. Comparison with mutagenesis results provides a structural map of arrhythmia mutations that target the activation and fast inactivation gates. These results give atomic-level insights into molecular events that underlie generation of the action potential, open-state drug block, and fast inactivation of cardiac sodium channels, which initiate the heartbeat.

Elastocapillary deformation of thin elastic ribbons in 2D foam columns.

Project description:The ability of liquid interfaces to shape slender elastic structures provides powerful strategies to control the architecture of mechanical self assemblies. However, elastocapillarity-driven intelligent design remains unexplored in more complex architected liquids - such as foams. Here we propose a model system which combines an assembly of bubbles and a slender elastic structure. Arrangements of soap bubbles in confined environments form well-defined periodic structures, dictated by Plateau's laws. We consider a 2D foam column formed in a container with square cross-section in which we introduce an elastomer ribbon, leading to architected structures whose geometry is guided by a competition between elasticity and capillarity. In this system, we quantify both experimentally and theoretically the equilibrium shapes, using X-ray micro-tomography and energy minimisation techniques. Beyond the understanding of the amplitude of the wavy elastic ribbon deformation, we provide a detailed analysis of the profile of the ribbon, and show that such a setup can be used to grant a shape to a UV-curable composite slender structure, as a foam-forming technique suitable to miniaturisation. In more general terms, this work provides a stepping stone towards an improved understanding of the interactions between liquid foams and slender structures.

Accounting for large amplitude protein deformation during in silico macromolecular docking.

Project description:Rapid progress of theoretical methods and computer calculation resources has turned in silico methods into a conceivable tool to predict the 3D structure of macromolecular assemblages, starting from the structure of their separate elements. Still, some classes of complexes represent a real challenge for macromolecular docking methods. In these complexes, protein parts like loops or domains undergo large amplitude deformations upon association, thus remodeling the surface accessible to the partner protein or DNA. We discuss the problems linked with managing such rearrangements in docking methods and we review strategies that are presently being explored, as well as their limitations and success.

Deformation Behavior of Foam Laser Targets Fabricated by Two-Photon Polymerization.

Project description:Two-photon polymerization (2PP), which is a three-dimensional micro/nano-scale additive manufacturing process, is used to fabricate component for small custom experimental packages (“targets”) to support laser-driven, high-energy-density physics research. Of particular interest is the use of 2PP to deterministically print millimeter-scale, low-density, and low atomic number (CHO) polymer matrices (“foams”). Deformation during development and drying of the foam structures remains a challenge when using certain commercial acrylic photo-resins. Acrylic resins were chosen in order to meet the low atomic number requirement for the foam; that requirement precludes the use of low-shrinkage organic/inorganic hybrid resins. Here, we compare the use of acrylic resins IP-S and IP-Dip. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy are used to quantify the extent of the polymerization during 2PP vs. UV curing. The mechanical strength of beam and foam structures is examined, particularly the degree of deformation that occurs during the development and drying processes. The magnitude of the shrinkage is quantified, and finite element analysis is used in order to simulate the resulting deformation. Capillary drying forces during development are shown to be small and are likely below the elastic limit of the foam log-pile structures. In contrast, the substantial shrinkage in IP-Dip (~5?10%) causes large shear stresses and associated plastic deformation, particularly near constrained boundaries and locations with sharp density transitions. Use of IP-S with an improved writing procedure results in a marked reduction in deformation with a minor loss of resolution.

The amplitude distribution of release events through a fusion pore.

Project description:Neurotransmitters, hormones, or dyes may be released from vesicles via a fusion pore, rather than by full fusion of the vesicle with the plasma membrane. If the lifetime of the fusion pore is comparable to the time required for the substance to exit the vesicle, only a fraction of the total vesicle content may be released during a single pore opening. Assuming 1), fusion pore lifetimes are exponentially distributed (tauP), as expected for simple single channel openings, and 2), vesicle contents are lost through the fusion pore with an exponential time course (tauD), we derive an analytical expression for the probability density function of the fraction of vesicle content released (F): dP/dF=A (1-F)(A-1), where A=tauD/tauP. If A>1, the maximum of the distribution is at F=0; if A<1, the maximum is at F=1; if A=1, the distribution is perfectly flat. Thus, the distribution never has a peak in the middle (0<F<1). This should be considered when interpreting the distribution of miniature synaptic currents, or the fraction of FM dye molecules lost during a single fusion pore opening event.

Single molecule FRET reveals pore size and opening mechanism of a mechano-sensitive ion channel.

Project description:The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance, which serves as a model system for mechanosensitive channels, has previously been crystallized in the closed form, but not in the open form. Ensemble measurements and electrophysiological sieving experiments show that the open-diameter of the channel pore is >25 Å, but the exact size and whether the conformational change follows a helix-tilt or barrel-stave model are unclear. Here we report measurements of the distance changes on liposome-reconstituted MscL transmembrane ?-helices, using a 'virtual sorting' single-molecule fluorescence energy transfer. We observed directly that the channel opens via the helix-tilt model and the open pore reaches 2.8 nm in diameter. In addition, based on the measurements, we developed a molecular dynamics model of the channel structure in the open state which confirms our direct observations.
