The contact resistance is affected by the contacting of the pair of materials, which will cause a voltage drop across the contact surfaces.
The test rig was also used in a fretting wear configuration under gross slip conditions to determine coefficient of friction for the same contacting pair of materials.
Instead of associating a level set function with a specific fluid material, the function is associated with a pair of materials and the interface that separates them.
The interactions are based on the solution of the acoustic Riemann problem between each pair of materials and is limited using physically justified constraints: positivity of volume, positivity of internal energy and controlled rate of pressure relaxation.
Another idea would be to make those embedded fibres from pairs of materials which, when laid together within a substance, may be made to react together to produce a composite with useful electrical or mechanical properties.
In-plane quasi-isotropic laminates are analyzed by combining pairs of materials and by changing their location in the through-the-thickness direction of the laminate.
Despite the fact that a lot of possible pairs of material-working fluid complying with the RIM condition are presented in literature, the choice is difficult with regard to the possibility of using them effectively in the experimental set-up.
Bearing in mind the benefit coming from the opportunity of an efficient wavelength tuning or, conversely, to stabilize the photoinduced effects in chalcogenide films as well as to improve their mechanical properties and/or their chemical durability, several pairs of materials from pure chalcogenide layers to chalcogenide/oxide layers were investigated.
To represent a general M-material configuration, M(M−1)/2 level set functions need to be accounted for; problems of practical interest use far fewer functions, as not all pairs of materials share an interface, and level-set functions that coincide are grouped together.
By judicious pairing of materials, based on knowledge of lattice matching and deformation potentials, the band offset at a heterojunction can be chosen for the desired application, for example, to produce an Ohmic or Schottky electrical contact.
Although the pair of basis material projection data (sinogram) essentially contain all useful information about the material being imaged, they are difficult to understand and to be interpreted by physicians.
