This paper describes the modeling and design of two-color microbolometers for uncooled infrared (IR) detection. The goal is to develop a high resolution IR detector array that can measure the actual temperature and color of an object based on two spectral wavelength regions. The microbolometer consists of high tempera…

An accurate and efficient nonlinear anisotropic model for soft magnetic materials is developed. In this model, the cross effects of the magnetic field in the different principle directions are decoupled by introducing an equivalent magnetic field magnitude in each principle direction. This equivalence is based on an a…

Semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was oriented with an equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process at room temperature, which applied simple shear deformation and generated unique asymmetric lamellar texture. In-situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements were utilized to study the change…

A dynamical vector hysteresis model is presented, which is a generalization of a quasistatic model proposed in a recent paper. The model can be considered from the point of view of a mechanical analogy with the pinning of Bloch walls phenomenon represented by a friction force. By combining several elementary submodels…

Poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) is a candidate for feedstock recycling materials, because it easily depolymerizes back into the cyclic monomer, l, l -lactide. To examine the recycling of PLLA from blends with other kinds of polymers, a polymer blend of PLLA and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) was prepared and the…
