    Assessing fatigue life cycles of material X10CrMoVNb9-1 through a combination of experimental and finite element analysis
    (2023) Rahim, Mohammad Ridzwan Bin Abd; Schmauder, Siegfried; Manurung, Yupiter H. P.; Binkele, Peter; Dusza, Ján; Csanádi, Tamás; Ahmad, Meor Iqram Meor; Mat, Muhd Faiz; Dogahe, Kiarash Jamali
    This paper uses a two-scale material modeling approach to investigate fatigue crack initiation and propagation of the material X10CrMoVNb9-1 (P91) under cyclic loading at room temperature. The Voronoi tessellation method was implemented to generate an artificial microstructure model at the microstructure level, and then, the finite element (FE) method was applied to identify different stress distributions. The stress distributions for multiple artificial microstructures was analyzed by using the physically based Tanaka-Mura model to estimate the number of cycles for crack initiation. Considering the prediction of macro-scale and long-term crack formation, the Paris law was utilized in this research. Experimental work on fatigue life with this material was performed, and good agreement was found with the results obtained in FE modeling. The number of cycles for fatigue crack propagation attains up to a maximum of 40% of the final fatigue lifetime with a typical value of 15% in many cases. This physically based two-scale technique significantly advances fatigue research, particularly in power plants, and paves the way for rapid and low-cost virtual material analysis and fatigue resistance analysis in the context of environmental fatigue applications.

    The effect of rod orientation on electrical anisotropy in silver nanowire networks for ultra-transparent electrodes
    (2016) Ackermann, Thomas; Neuhaus, Raphael; Roth, Siegmar
    Two-dimensional networks made of metal nanowires are excellent paradigms for the experimental observation of electrical percolation caused by continuous jackstraw-like physical pathways. Such systems became very interesting as alternative material in transparent electrodes, which are fundamental components in display devices. This work presents the experimental characterization of low-haze and ultra-transparent electrodes based on silver nanowires. The films are created by dip-coating, a feasible and scalable liquid film coating technique. We have found dominant alignment of the silver nanowires in withdrawal direction. The impact of this structural anisotropy on electrical anisotropy becomes more pronounced for low area coverage. The rod alignment does not influence the technical usability of the films as significant electrical anisotropy occurs only at optical transmission higher than 99 %. For films with lower transmission, electrical anisotropy becomes negligible. In addition to the experimental work, we have carried out computational studies in order to explain our findings further and compare them to our experiments and previous literature. This paper presents the first experimental observation of electrical anisotropy in two-dimensional silver nanowire networks close at the percolation threshold.

    Ressourceneffiziente Erzeugung ultra-transparenter Elektroden durch perkolierende Nanostrukturen
    (2016) Ackermann, Thomas; Westkämper, Engelbert (Prof. a. D. Dr.-Ing. Prof. E. h. Dr.-Ing. E. h. Dr. h. c. mult.)
    Transparente leitfähige Schichten (transparente Elektroden) sind elementare Bauteile in Touch-Modulen, Displays und Solarzellen. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Erzeugung transparenter Elektroden auf Basis alternativer Materialien, um die Defizite - insbesondere die Brüchigkeit und die relativ hohen Herstellungskosten - des konventionellen Materials Indiumzinnoxid zu umgehen. Zweidimensionale Netzwerke aus stäbchenförmigen elektrischen Leitern werden ausgehend von einer Dispersion durch Nassfilmbeschichtung hergestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als transparente Elektroden untersucht. Dabei handelt es sich Netzwerke aus Silbernanodrähten und um Hybrid-Schichten aus Silbernanodrähten und Kohlenstoffnanoröhren (Co-Perkolation). Neben der Ableitung und Umsetzung Produkt- und Prozess-orientierter Ziele liefert die Arbeit einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der zweidimensionalen elektrischen Perkolation in Netzwerken aus stäbchenförmigen elektrischen Leitern, insbesondere nahe an der Perkolationsschwelle, bei der die Netzwerke eine sehr hohe Transparenz aufweisen, weshalb derartige Schichten als ultra-transparent bezeichnet werden. Diese Arbeit entstand an der Graduate School of Excellence advanced Manufacturing Engineering (GSaME) der Universität Stuttgart in Kooperation mit dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnik und Automatisierung (IPA) in Stuttgart.
