Bonding electrical systems

Adhesives are used in the electrical and electronic industries in a variety of different ways, from holding microcomponents in place on a circuit board to bonding coils in large power transformers. Reliability is always a concern, since bond failure could lead to component failure, which in turn leads to equipment failure and then possibly to a massive system failure. A system in this industry could be a commercial aircraft s electrical system or the power distribution system in an urban city. 

A number of solids are composed only of atoms interconnected by a network of covalent bonds. These solids are often called covalent network solids. Quartz is a network solid, as is diamond. See Figure 9-20. In contrast to molecular solids, network solids are typically brittle, nonconductors of heat or electricity, and extremely hard. In a diamond, four other carbon atoms surround each carbon atom. This tetrahedral arrangement forms a strongly bonded crystal system that is extremely hard and has a very high melting point. 

Electrically conducting polymers, sometimes called synthetic metals, have a backbone that is a rr-conjugated system, with alternating double and single bonds. This system is formed by overlap of carbon 2p -orbitals, as in Figure 7.17. The polymers are named after the monomer units on which their structures are based. The... 

In bond graphs of electrical systems, the 1-junction represents the voltage drop across the port and, at the same time, the current through the port. In case of an electrical transformer, the 1-junctions at both ports of the associated TF element represent the currents through the coils of the transformer. In bond graphs of hydraulic systems, C elements are inserted via a 1-junction between the 0-junction of an absolute pressure and the 0-junction of the atmospheric pressure. In bond graphs of thermal systems, the thermal port of a C element is attached directly to the 0-junction of an absolute temperature.)...

The bond graph model is superimposed on the physical system in Figs. 11.24, 11.25, 11.26, and 11.27. These figures show the reader how close bond graph modeling is to the physics of the system. The principle is valid also for mechanical and electrical systems, but intentionally waited until the hydraulic example to give it more relevance and show it alone. 

If the students have already been introduced to circuit theory in their physics courses, they may be familiar with the use of the Kirchhoff equations to solve electrical networks. By showing that a chemical bond in the ionic model is really an electric capacitor, the students can be shown that the ionic model is equivalent to a capacitive electric circuit that can be solved to predict the bond valences, hence the bond lengths. The only information needed for this exercise is the bond network, viz how the atoms are linked (Sect. 6.1 of [1]). Such a presentation shows how results from one field (physics) can often be used in a different field (chemistry). Electrical circuits that have the same properties as a non-electrical system (in this...
