Item Open Access Microscopic design and optimization of hydrodynamically lubricated dissipative interfaces(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2019) Çakal, Berkay Alp; Temizer, İlker; Terada, K.; Kato, J.A homogenization‐based topology optimization framework is developed, which can endow hydrodynamically lubricated interfaces with a micro‐texture, to achieve optimal macroscopic responses by addressing both dissipative and nondissipative physics at the interface. With respect to the homogenization aspects of the problem, the thermodynamic consistency of the two‐scale formulation is explicitly analyzed and verified. With respect to the topology optimization aspects, a variational approach to sensitivity analysis is pursued. Subsequently, these are employed in micro‐texture design studies, which address microscopic and macroscopic objectives. The influence of dissipation on the optimization results is demonstrated through extensive numerical investigations, which also highlight the importance of working in a sufficiently flexible design space that can deliver nearly optimal micro‐texture geometries.Item Open Access Monitoring molecular assembly of biofilms using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation(Springer, 2022) Yuca, E.; Şeker, Urartu Özgür Şafak; Arluison, Véronique; Wien, Frank; Marcoleta, AndrésThe structure and the functionality of biofilm proteins, the main components of the extracellular matrix, can be tuned by protein engineering. The use of binding kinetics data has been demonstrated in the characterization of recombinantly produced biofilm proteins to control their behavior on certain surfaces or under certain conditions. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) allows measuring the change in resonance frequency and the energy loss and distribution upon the interaction of molecules with the surface. The characterization of the molecular assembly of curli biofilm proteins on different surfaces using QCM-D is presented here as a detailed protocol. The experimental procedure detailed in this chapter can be applied and modified for other biofilm proteins or subunits to determine their surface adsorption and kinetic binding characteristics.Item Open Access Sliding friction across the scales: Thermomechanical interactions and dissipation partitioning(Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Temizer, İ.A homogenization framework is developed for determining the complete macroscopic thermomechanical sliding contact response of soft interfaces with microscopic roughness. To this end, a micro-macro mechanical dissipation equality is first established which enables defining a macroscopic frictional traction. The derivation allows both contacting bodies to be deformable, thereby extending the commonly adopted setting where one of the bodies is rigid. Moreover, it forms a basis for the second step, where a novel micro-macro thermal dissipation equality is established which enables defining partitioning coefficients that are associated with the frictional dissipation as it is perceived on the macroscale. Finally, a comparison of the temperature fields from the original heterogeneous thermomechanical contact problem and an idealized homogeneous one reveals an identification of the macroscopic temperature jump. The computational implementation of the framework is carried out within an incrementally two-phase micromechanical test which delivers a well-defined macroscopic response that is not influenced by purely algorithmic choices such as the duration of sliding. Two-dimensional numerical investigations on periodic and random samples from thermo-viscoelastic boundary layers with unilateral and bilateral roughness demonstrate the temperature-velocity-pressure dependence of the macroscopic contact response. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
