Mechanics of Stretchable Electronics
Wed, Oct 04, 2006 @ 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
JOINT SEMINAR with AME and CEEYoung HuangShao Lee Soo ProfessorDepartment of Mechanical and Industrial EngineeringUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignAbstractStretchable electronics is important in the development of next-generation electronics since it has many applications such as portable electronics, flexible display, small optical sensor and compact digital camera, sensors and drive electronics for artificial muscles, structural monitors wrapped around aircraft wings, and surgeon's gloves studded with stretchable sensors that can monitor a patient's vital signs. However, silicon is an intrinsically brittle material and is not stretchable. We have produced a stretchable form of silicon that consists of sub-micrometer single crystal elements structured into shapes with microscale periodic, wave-like geometries (Science, v 311, pp 208-212, 2006). When supported by an elastomeric substrate, this wavy silicon can be reversibly stretched and compressed to large strains without damaging the silicon. The amplitudes and periods of the waves change to accommodate these deformations, thereby avoiding significant strains in the silicon itself. Dielectrics, patterns of dopants, electrodes and other elements directly integrated with the silicon yield fully formed, high performance wavy metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors, pn diodes and other devices for electronic circuits that can be stretched or compressed to similarly large levels of strain. There are many mechanics problems in stretchable electronics, and I will discuss a few in this talk.

The Health Effects of Combustion-Generated Particles
Wed, Oct 04, 2006 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 AM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
JOINT SEMINAR with AME and CEE Speaker:
Ian M. Kennedy
Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering
University of California DavisAbstract
The link between exposure to fine particles in the atmosphere and adverse
health effects has been well-established by epidemiological studies. Most of
the fine and ultrafine material of concern derives from combustion sources
and is largely a mixture of elemental and organic carbon, metals, and
inorganic compounds such as sulfates. When inhaled by people, the particles
can be taken-up by cells in the lung. The particles can also penetrate into
the circulatory system and lodge in organs such as the liver and heart. The
mechanism for their impact on health is not entirely understood although the
generation of reactive oxygen species such as the OH radical is a major
focus. The inflammation that can be caused by these reactive species can
exacerbate pre-existing ailments. Combustion conditions in mobile and
stationary sources can affect the reactivity of aerosols and their ability
to generate reactive oxygen species. Combustion conditions can also affect
the speciation of transition metals, the morphology of particles and their
composition, and their size, all parameters that may lead to adverse health
effects. This presentation will review the current state of knowledge about
sources, transport, transformation and fate of fine and ultrafine particles
that arise from combustion sources. The impact of combustion conditions on
the potential for adverse health impacts will be given particular attentionWednesday, Oct. 4th
