In this paper a review and critique is presented of the mathematical models which have been developed to describe the mass transfer processes occurring during asymmetric membrane formation in polymeric systems. A principal object is to point out several shortcomings of the modelling efforts which have been primarily confined to a description of the evaporation step. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the general mass transfer problem along with the development of a model based on a pseudobinary diffusion equation formalism, to describe the solvent—nonsolvent exchange process which occurs during quenching. The derivation demonstrates that the pseudobinary approach enables the decoupling of the mixing rule from the diffusion equations, therefore allowing its separate specification without affecting the validity of the transport model. Solution of the model equations allows plotting of concentration profiles directly onto the ternary phase diagram. The discussion shows how such ternary concentration plots can be used to differentiate formation conditions for completely dense morphologies from those of either asymmetric or porous structures. Finally, a special case solution to the mass transfer model is presented to predict concentrations of the nonsolvent and polymer as a function of time and distance in the forming membrane.

MODELING OF ASYMMETRIC MEMBRANE FORMATION .2. THE EFFECTS OF SURFACE BOUNDARY-CONDITIONS Yılmaz, Levent (Wiley, 1988-05-20) An analysis is carried out to evaluate the effects of alternate surface boundary conditions on the predictions of our previously developed (Part I) pseudobinary diffusion model for membrane formation by the phase inversion process. Attention is addressed to a comparison of concentration profiles in the quenched film for a constant flux interface (CF) condition and a mass transfer rate (MT) interface condition. A numerical algorithm is developed to handle the MT condition based on an explicit, finite differe...
Modeling of inelastic microstructure development and inhomogeneous material behavior via non convex rate dependent crystal plasticity Svendsen, Bob; Klusemann, Benjamın; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M G D (2012-08-19) In this study, a two-dimensional rate-dependent gradient crystal plasticity model for non-convex energetic hardening is formulated and applied to the simulation of inelastic microstructure formation. In particular, non-convex hardening is modeled via a Landau-Devonshire potential for self-hardening and an interaction-matrix-based form for latent hardening. The algorithmic formulation and numerical implementation treats the displacement and glide-system slips as the primary field variables. Example numerical...
Modeling of piston secondary dynamics and tribology Keribar, Rifat; Dursunkaya, Zafer (1992-06-01) This paper describes a general, design-oriented model for the analysis of secondary motions in conventional and articulated piston assemblies. The model solves for the axial, lateral and rotational departures in positions and motions from the nominal kinematics, resulting from clearances within the piston assembly and also between the piston assembly components and the cylinder. In order to accurately represent the effect of oil films, the model includes comprehensive treatments of hydrodynamic and boundary...
Modeling and fabrication of electrostatically actuated diaphragms for on-chip valving of MEMS-compatible microfluidic systems Atik, Ali Can; Ozkan, Metin Dundar; Ozgur, Ebru; Külah, Haluk; Yıldırım, Ender (IOP Publishing, 2020-11-01) This paper presents an analytical model to estimate the actuation potential of an electrostatic parylene-C diaphragm, processed on a glass wafer using standard microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) process technology, and integrable to polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based lab-on-a-chip systems to construct a normally-closed microvalve for flow manipulation. The accurate estimation of the pull-in voltage of the diaphragm is critical to preserve the feasibility of integration. Thus, we introduced an analytical m...
Simulation of orthogonal metal cutting by finite element analysis Bil, Halil; Kılıç, Engin; Tekkaya, Erman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) The aim of this thesis is to compare various simulation models of orthogonal cutting process with each other as well as with various experiments. The effects of several process parameters, such as friction and separation criterion, on the results are analyzed. As simulation tool, commercial implicit finite element codes MSC.Marc, Deform2D and the explicit code Thirdwave AdvantEdge are used. Separation of chip from the workpiece is achieved either only with continuous remeshing or by erasing elements accordi...
