In this paper, the commercial FEM software package Abaqus is employed to model the novel nanomachining process, Vibration Assisted Nano Impact machining by Loose Abrasives (VANILA), which combines the principles of vibration-assisted abrasive machining and tip-based nanomachining to conduct nano abrasive machining of hard and brittle materials. In this novel nanomachining process, an atomic force microscope (AFM) is used as a platform and the nano abrasives injected in slurry between the workpiece and the vibrating AFM probe impact the workpiece and result in nanoscale material removal. Diamond particles are used as the loose abrasives. The effects of impact speed, angle of impacts, and the frictional coefficient between the workpiece and abrasives are investigated using Abaqus. It is found that the impact speed, impact angle, and frictional coefficient between the silicon workpiece and nanoabrasives have big influence on the nanocavity’s size and depth.

Vibration assisted nano impact-machining by loose abrasives (VANILA) is a novel nanomachining process that combines the principles of vibration assisted abrasive machining and tip-based nanomachining, to perform target specific nanoabrasive machining of hard and brittle materials. An atomic force microscope (AFM) is used as a platform in this process wherein nanoabrasives, injected in slurry between the workpiece and the vibrating AFM probe which is the tool, impact the workpiece and cause nanoscale material removal. The VANILA process are conducted such that the tool tip does not directly contact the workpiece. The level of precision and quality of the machined features in a nanomachining process is contingent on the tool wear which is inevitable. Initial experimental studies have demonstrated reduced tool wear in the VANILA process as compared to indentation process in which the tool directly contacts the workpiece surface. In this study, the tool wear rate during the VANILA process is analytically modeled considering impacts of abrasive grains on the tool tip surface. Experiments are conducted using several tools in order to validate the predictions of the theoretical model. It is seen that the model is capable of accurately predicting the tool wear rate within 10% deviation.

Abstract Vibration-assisted nano-impact machining by loose abrasives (VANILA) is a newly developed process based on the atomic force microscope (AFM) platform, where the nanoabrasive (diamond particles) slurry is injected between the workpiece and the vibrating AFM probe. This study aims to use the commercial finite element method (FEM) software package abaqus to simulate the phase transformation experienced by the silicon workpiece and to study the effects of VANILA process parameters, such as impact speed, impact angle, and coefficient of friction between the nanoabrasive and silicon workpiece, on the volume of phase transformation of silicon. Among these three parameters, impact speed is found to have the most dominating effect on the phase transformation process, followed by impact angle and friction coefficient. It is found that the volumes for Si-VII, Si-VIII, and Si-X phases increase with the increase of impact speed from 100 m/s to 200 m/s. The phase volumes of Si-VII and Si-VIII are found to decrease slightly with the increase of friction coefficient from 0.05 to 0.5. The phase volumes for Si-VII, Si-VIII, and Si-X are found to increase with the increase of impact angles from 20 deg to 90 deg. Finally, the multiple linear regression modeling using a design of experiments is carried out to study the relationship among the three parameters and the volume of different phases of silicon.

In this paper, a numerical study of a nanomachining process, Vibration Assisted Nano Impact machining by Loose Abrasives (VANILA), has been conducted. In the VANILA process, an atomic force microscope (AFM) is used as a platform and the nano abrasives (diamond particles) are injected in slurry between the silicon workpiece and the vibrating AFM probe. The vibration of the AFM probe generates kinetic energy for the abrasives to impact the silicon workpiece and result in nanoscale material removal. In addition, silicon usually experiences phase transformation when subject to high pressure at nano-scale. The commercial Finite Element Method (FEM) software package Abaqus is employed to simulate the phase transformation experienced by the silicon workpiece in this VANILA process under different machining parameters such as impact speed, impact angle and coefficient of friction between the nano-abrasive and silicon workpiece. It is found that the machining parameters (impact speed, impact angle, and coefficient of friction) have substantial influence on the phase transformation of silicon workpiece in the nanomachining VANILA. Phase volumes for Si-VII, Si-VIII, and Si-X increase as the impact speed increases from 100 m/s to 200 m/s. Phase volume of Si-X increases as the friction coefficient increases. For Si-VII and Si-VIII, the phase volumes decrease as friction coefficient increases from 0.05, 0.3 and 0.5. In addition, the phase volumes for Si-VII, Si-VIII, and Si-X usually increase as the impact angles increases from 20° to 90°. However, for impact speed of 150 m/s and frictional coefficient of 0.05, the Si-VII phase volume increases first as impact angle increases from 20° to 70° and then decreases as the impact angle increases from 70° to 90°.

Abstract In this paper, a computational study of a novel nanomachining process, Vibration Assisted Nano Impact machining by Loose Abrasives (VANILA), is conducted using the commercial FEM software package ABAQUS. In this novel nanomachining process, an atomic force microscope (AFM) is utilized as a platform and the nano abrasives are injected in the slurry which is located between the workpiece and the vibrating AFM probe. These nano abrasives impact the workpiece and result in nanoscale material removal. In this research, diamond particles are used as loose abrasives and the ductile mode machining is used to describe the behavior of the brittle silicon workpiece. This study aims to investigate the effects of operating temperature and number of multiple impact hits on material removal mechanism of VANILA process. The impact speed of the loose abrasives is kept constant at 200 m/s and the impact angle is fixed at 90°. The frictional coefficient during the machining is considered to be 0.05. The material removal mechanism at various operating temperatures (20°C, 100°C, 200°C, 400°C, 600°C, and 800°C) and multiple impacts are tested. It is found that the operating temperature and number of impact hits have substantial influence on material removal volume in the VANILA process.

Oblique collisions can more easily lead to train derailment and cause heavy casualties. In this paper, a fine finite-element model of a subway head vehicle–rigid wall frontal oblique collision was established and validated by a single wheelset derailment simulation. Furthermore, the derailment mechanisms and patterns under an oblique impact angle of 6.34°–40° and at an impact speed of 8–40 km/h were studied via simulation. The results indicated that three types of derailment, such as roll-over derailment, climb/roll-over derailment and wheel-lift derailment, have occurred. When the impact speed was set to 25 km/h, a climb/roll-over derailment occurred under the impact angle of greater than 40°; a roll-over derailment occurred under the impact angle of 20°–40°; and the vehicle would not derail when the impact angle was less than 15°. When the impact angle was 6.34°, the vehicle was in danger of wheel-lift derailment with the largest wheel vertical displacement of 26.83 mm and lateral displacement of 12.52 mm under the impact speed of 40 km/h, but it was safe with the largest displacement of no more than 18 mm and lateral displacement of 8.39 mm if the impact speed was less than 40 km/h. It is shown that the derailment patterns are more sensitive to the impact angle. Therefore, both the lateral and vertical displacements should be considered when studying the oblique collision-induced derailment mechanisms and patterns.

Vibration assisted nano impact-machining by loose abrasives (VANILA) is a novel nanomachining process that combines the principles of vibration-assisted abrasive machining, and tip-based nanomachining, to perform target specific nano abrasive machining of hard and brittle materials. An atomic force microscope (AFM) is used as a platform in this process wherein, nano abrasives, injected in slurry between the workpiece and the vibrating AFM probe, impact the workpiece and cause nanoscale material removal. The objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model to determine the material removal rate (MRR) in the VANILA process. The experimental machining results reveal that the material removal happens primarily in ductile mode due to repeated deformation which happens at near normal angles of impact. A predictive model for MRR during the VANILA process is analytically developed based on elastoplastic impact theory for normal angles of impact. The model is validated through a series of experiments performed on silicon and borosilicate glass substrates and the results confirm that the model is capable of predicting the machining results within 10% deviation.

The effects of bullet vehicle crash impact angle, child restraint system design, and restraint harness slack at side impact speed of 32.2 km/h (20 mph) on moments sustained at the neck by a three-year-old child are investigated. Mathematical models are built using the response surface method based on simulation results whereby good fitness is achieved. The singular and cross interactive effect of each predictor on the neck moment are analyzed. The number of significant parameters affecting the neck moment is shown to be the largest for wide impact angles (ϕ≥60°) and the impact angle parameter is largely revealed to be the most sensitive. An ideal safe range for low neck moment has been established to be within ϕ angles 45° and 65°. It is further shown that the nature of all parameters effect on the neck moment is highly dependent on the impact angle range.

Atomic force microscope (AFM) probe was developed for applications of the dip-pen nanolithography (DPN), which is capable of surface patterning. Nano fountain-pen is a novel device to make the constant patterning in micro process using new designed probe. The modeled nano fountain-pen is composed with reservoir, micro channels, tip and chamber. The reservoir is linked to micro channels embedded in a V-shaped cantilever. Working fluids are transported through micro channels from a reservoir to substrate, realizing continuous writing at the nano scale. This so-called fountain-pen nanolithography (FPN) device allows continuous fluid supply for different localized applications. Instead of traditional method only using capillary force, liquid can be definitely and exactly injected with membrane pumping by the repulse force of tip. Using a commercial code, FLUENT, the velocity, pressure and flow rate are obtained under laminar, unsteady and three-dimensional incompressible flow with no-slip condition, and results are graphically depicted.

The appropriateness of test conditions specified in NCHRP Report 350 was assessed. The assessment focused on the basic Test Level 3 and addressed two areas of interest: the effects of higher speed limit on impact speed and the appropriateness of 25° for the impact angle. The following conclusions and recommendations were drawn on the basis of the results of the analysis: ( a) the current test impact speed of 100 km/h (62.2 mph) should be maintained, ( b) the current impact angle of 25° for Test 11 of length-of-need sections of permanent longitudinal barriers should be maintained, ( c) the test impact angle should be reduced from 25° to 20° for Test 11 of length-of-need sections of temporary longitudinal barriers, and ( d) the test impact angle should be reduced from 25° to 20° for Test 21 of barrier transition sections. However, the selection of impact conditions is more a policy decision than a technical issue to be resolved in the update of NCHRP Report 350 guidelines.
