Analysis of film strain and stress in a film-substrate cantilever system

Abstract

The bending problem of a magnetic film-nonmagnetic substrate cantilever system is studied by using the principle of energy minimization. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of geometrical and physical parameter dependence of the neutral plane, internal film stress and strain of the cantilever system, and then the influence of such a parameter on the bending characteristic is presented. The results indicate, owing to the anisotropic expanding feature of the magnetostriction, that the neutral plane is generally anisotropic, and moves downwards rapidly with the increasing thickness ratio. Meanwhile, the bounding rigidity of substrate on the film will decrease with the increasing thickness ratio, and thus release the film stress, i.e., it decreases, but the film strain increases. The effect of Poisson's ratio of the materials on the film strain, the stress and the neutral plane in the direction transverse to the magnetization is prominent. For the strain and the stress in the magnetization, however, the role of Poisson's ratio is inconspicuous. This property is due to the initiative elongating (or contracting) feature of the magnetic film along its magnetization. magnetic film-substrate system, strain, stress, neutral plane

Adhesion Assessment of BNT Films on Titanium Substrates Using a Scratch Test

“…As yet, there is no accepted convention for defining the adhesion strength between a film and substrate [8,9]. In recent years, some researchers have developed a scratch method to evaluate the practical adhesion strength and determine mechanical failure mode of thin film, ceramic coatings on metal, ceramic, and polymer substrates [10][11][12]. In the present study, scratch tests combined with SEM observation were conducted to assess the adhesion of deposited BNT films to Ti substrates.…”

A Study on the Evolution Characteristics of the Large Structure of Turbulence in a Meander Channel

“…However, the theoretical research on the characteristics of the turbulent flow in a meander channel developed slowly. In recent years, the theoretical research on the stability of hyper-concentrated flow and bed form had made a great progress [4][5][6][7]. In this paper, the theoretical method considering the coherent vortex structure as a kind of disturbance was applied to study the evolution characteristics of multi-scale turbulent structures in a meander channel by using the similar theoretical method.…”
