Deforming surface

Flow Past Deformable Bodies. The flow of fluids past deformable surfaces is often important, eg, contact of Hquids with gas bubbles or with drops of another Hquid. Proper description of the flow must allow for both the deformation of these bodies from their shapes in the absence of flow and for the internal circulations that may be set up within the drops or bubbles in response to the external flow. DeformabiUty is related to the interfacial tension and density difference between the phases internal circulation is related to the drop viscosity. A proper description of the flow involves not only the Reynolds number, dFp/p., but also other dimensionless groups, eg, the viscosity ratio, 1 /p En tvos number (En ), Api5 /o and the Morton number (Mo),giJ.iAp/plG (6). 

Implicit in all these solutions is the fact that, when two spherical indentors are made to approach one another, the resulting deformed surface is also spherical and is intermediate in curvature between the shape of the two surfaces. Hertz [27] recognized this concept and used it in the development of his theory, yet the concept is a natural consequence of the superposition method based on Boussinesq and Cerutti s formalisms for integration of points loads. A corollary to this concept is that the displacements are additive so that the compliances can be added for materials of differing elastic properties producing the following expressions common to many solutions...

Substitution of Equations (36) and (37) into Equation (35) generates a complicated differential equation with a solution that relates the shape of an axially symmetrical interface to y. In principle, then, Equation (35) permits us to understand the shapes assumed by mobile interfaces and suggests that y might be measurable through a study of these shapes. We do not pursue this any further at this point, but return to the question of the shape of deformable surfaces in Section 6.8b. In the next section we examine another consequence of the fact that curved surfaces experience an extra pressure because of the tension in the surface. We know from experience that many thermodynamic phenomena are pressure sensitive. Next we examine the effecl of the increment in pressure small particles experience due to surface curvature on their thermodynamic properties. 

Similar to all scanning microscopies, the resolution in SFM depends on the effective size of the probe and its modifications which arise from sample-probe interactions. Theoretically, the effective size is determined by the probe geometry and the force-distance dependence between the tip and sample. In addition, the aperture increases because of the tip-sample deformation, surface roughness, capillary forces, and various sources of noise. Experimentally, the resolution is limited by the sensitivity of the force detection system, the image noise, and the scanner precision.

It is usually considered that f potential value is independent on the pressure value that testifies for the constant position of slipping plane. This is fairly for solid non-deformed surfaces. However, in some cases the position of slipping plane depends on the surface structure, which can be affected by tangential shear stress [17], So in the case of deformed surfaces ( soft layers ) the calculated f potential would depend on shear stress value, i.e. pressure value. This should be taken into account when experimental data are interpreted. 

Surface stress — The surface area A of a solid electrode can be varied in two ways In a plastic deformation, such as cleavage, the number of surface atoms is changed, while in an elastic deformation, such as stretching, the number of surface atoms is constant. Therefore, the differential dUs of the internal surface energy, at constant entropy and composition, is given by dUs = ydAp + A m g m denm, where y is the interfacial tension, dAp is the change in area due to a plastic deformation, gnm is the surface stress, and enm the surface strain caused by an elastic deformation. Surface stress and strain are tensors, and the indices denote the directions of space. From this follows the generalized Lippmann equation for a solid electrode ...

In contrast, for plastically deformed surfaces, friction anisotropy appears to be primarily attributable to the movement of atomic slip planes within the bulk of the metal, and not to commensurability at the sliding interface. Early experiments using diamond surfaces showed that friction anisotropy disappeared at low loads where no plastic deformation was evidenced. 

Miiser [25] examined yield of much larger tips modeled as incommensurate Lennard-Jones solids. The tips deformed elastically until the normal stress became comparable to the ideal yield stress and then deformed plastically. No static friction was observed between elastically deformed surfaces, while plastic deformation always led to pinning. Sliding led to mixing of the two materials like that found in larger two-dimensional simulations of copper discussed in Section IV.E.

The history of these large bubbles after release is interesting. A stretched vapor filament is the last part of a bubble to break from the hot solid. The filament contracts rapidly, because of surface tension, and rams into the main body of the bubble. The bubble shape is distorted by the impact, becoming umbrellalike. The deformed surface then snaps back down, and the bubble vibrates as it rises. The true shape of rising, large bubbles is evident in Fig. 10. 

The use of severe high rate friction treatment can give grain structure of different scale, i.e. nano-, submicro-, and micro-sized grain structures. These structures of different grain scale take place one after another in the direction to center of sample when deformed surface layer has been formed. 

Of course, the application of these conditions is still complicated by the fact that they must be applied at the slightly deformed surface ...

Virtually in all dry sliding contacts we observe that the frictional force required to initiate motion is more than that needed to maintain the surfaces in the subsequent relative sliding thus there are two values reported for the coefficient of friction. The static coefficient of friction is used in reference to the initial movement of the object from the rest position. In this case, the F ml. The kinetic coefficient of friction is used for two surfaces in relative motion. This feature, together with the inevitable natural elasticity of any mechanical system, can often lead to the troublesome phenomenon of stick-slip motion (the displacement of surface materials with time). Displacement increases linearly with time during periods of sticking when slipping occurs, the deformed surface materials are released. Representative of dry static and kinetic coefficients of friction for various material pairs are found in tribology and physics references 11 see Table 3.1.

Thus, for the diffusion-controlled adsorption on the non-deforming surface, experimental values of y(t ) must give a straight line having the slope equal to the expression on the right hand side of Eq. (4.88). 

Thus, the pressures of phases separated by a deformable surface must be equal when the phases are in equilibrium. 

For a modelling of adsorption processes the well-known integro-differential equation (4.1) derived by Ward and Tordai [3] is used. It is the most general relationship between the dynamic adsorption r(t) and the subsurface concentration e(0,t) for fresh non-deformed surfaces and is valid for kinetic-controlled, pure diffusion-controlled and mixed adsorption mechanisms. For a diffusion-controlled adsorption mechanism Eq. (4.1) predicts different F dependencies on t for different types of isotherms. For example, the Frumkin adsorption isotherm predicts a slower initial rate of surface tension decrease than the Langmuir isotherm does. In section 4.2.2. it was shown that reorientation processes in the adsorption layer can mimic adsorption processes faster than expected from diffusion. In this paragraph we will give experimental evidence, that changes in the molar area of adsorbed molecules can cause sueh effectively faster adsorption processes. 

Eq. (5.248) and its modification for a deformed surface [154], together with the corresponding equations for AT [152] and Eq. (5.243) are the only analytical results obtained as solution of the boundary value problem for the diffusion equations of micelles and monomers. An approximate relation for Ay can be also obtained without integration of the diffusion equations with the help of the penetration theory [155], In this case the derivative on the right hand side of Eq. (5.237) is replaced by the ratio of finite differences... 

Other mechanisms, such as adhesive wear and corrosive wear, are considered to be less important in this problem and are not explicitly included in the analysis. The wear is related to the contact stress, deformation, surface coverage of particle and fatigue resistance, each of which is determined and expressed in terms of the material.
