Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of microstructure fatigue experimental device based on the autovibration principle, belong to nanometer technique fundamental research field.
Background technology
Micro electro mechanical device stands the severe conditions of work such as large impact, large vibration, high-temperature gradient often, and now the mechanical parts such as the micro-beam in device, mems thin film can produce excessive distortion and ess-strain, thereby may cause low-cycle fatigue failure.Therefore, at the beginning of the micro electro mechanical device design, just should consider the low-cycle fatigue problem of its mechanical part, and carry out corresponding low cycle fatigue test.Yet, microstructure small-sized, traditional large-scale fatigue experimental device can't load, fatigue experimental device and method that therefore need to be new for microstructure study.
Existing microstructure fatigue experimental device can be divided into contact and contactless two classes.Contact refers to test unit must directly contact the transmission that just can complete load with micro-test specimen, this class test unit involving vibrations platform, atomic force microscope, nano-hardness tester etc.Although the contact fatigue experimental device can provide enough large load, to guarantee the smooth enforcement of low cycle fatigue test, also exist that test unit costliness and volume are large, the problems such as the clamping of micro-test specimen and centering difficulty.For addressing the above problem, contactless fatigue experimental device arises at the historic moment, and it mainly utilizes the contactless force such as electrostatic force to load, and the test unit cost is low and volume is little, and the clamping of micro-test specimen and centering are also easily controlled.Yet, existing contactless microstructure fatigue experimental device has problems equally, and they drive parallel-plate or comb structure by static mostly, and the load of alternation is delivered on micro-test specimen, drive micro-test specimen in resonance state, so that fatigure failure occurs at micro-test specimen examination position.But due to the existence of static destabilizing effect (Pull-in effect), electrostatic force load is subject to serious restriction, therefore the amplitude of micro-test specimen under this type of test unit is large not, usually only has 1/3 of electrode separation, cause the vibration stress strain amplitude at test specimen examination position to be not enough to carry out low cycle fatigue test, be embodied as the test period of single micro-test specimen often over one day.Thereby for the vibration stress that strengthens micro-test specimen examination position, improve low-cycle fatigue damage and lower test period, current method is design breach feature on micro-test specimen, or micro-test specimen is placed in to vacuum environment is tested.Although said method can shorten test period, but take, the anti-fatigue performance of the original microstructure of change (weakening) is cost, the difference of this test condition and actual operating conditions, can affect microstructure fatigue data reliability and validity, also just can't the life-span of accurately predicting microstructure under actual operating conditions.In sum, a kind of can either the test simply and easily (not having clamping and centering problem) needed in the tired field of microstructure badly, again can warranty test the fatigue experimental device of precision (not changing microstructure original structure feature and condition of work) as a result.

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, 2, the invention provides a kind of microstructure fatigue experimental device based on the autovibration principle, comprise: in an insulating supporting pedestal 1(the present embodiment, be rectangular parallelepiped, the wide * height of long * is 6mm*3mm*3.3mm), this insulating supporting pedestal is not connected with any electrode, also earth-free, in the electromotive force quick condition; In micro-test specimen 2(the present embodiment of a conduction, be right cylinder, long 15-20mm, diameter 20-60 μ m), an end of this micro-test specimen 2 is fixed on above-mentioned insulating supporting pedestal 1, and the other end is horizontal hanging shape; In two direct drive electrode 3(the present embodiment, it is right cylinder, diameter is 3mm, long is 20mm), two electrodes 3 are parallel with micro-test specimen, and keep a determining deviation (8-10mm), one of them electrode accesses positive DC voltage (0~+ 3000V), and another electrode accesses negative DC voltage (0~-3000V); Long * of substrate 4(is wide is 30mm*30mm), above-mentioned an insulating supporting pedestal 1 and two direct drive electrodes 3 all are fixed on this substrate 4.
Principle of work of the present invention is based on the chattering of micro-test specimen in electrostatic field, is specially: two direct drive electrodes 3 are connected with negative pole with the positive pole of direct supply respectively, now between two electrodes 3, can produce a stable electrostatic field; In this electrostatic field, micro-test specimen 2 is subject to electrostatic force because of the electrostatic induction effect, and electrostatic force overcomes elastic-restoring force and makes micro-test specimen produce horizontal-shift; When DC voltage further increases, electrostatic force and horizontal-shift also increase thereupon, until elastic-restoring force be can't keep balance with electrostatic force the time, unstable phenomenon (pull-in) will occur micro-test specimen 2, and contact with the upper surface of direct drive electrode 3; Because micro-test specimen 2 is fixed on insulating supporting pedestal 1, both with any electrode, be not connected and there is no ground connection yet, in the electromotive force quick condition, therefore micro-test specimen 2 does not cause short circuit with contacting of direct drive electrode 3; What with above-mentioned contact process, carry out is that the charging and discharging process of 3 pairs of micro-test specimens 2 of direct drive electrode (makes the electromotive force of the electromotive force of micro-test specimen 2 and electrode 3 identical simultaneously, if contact is positive electrode, it is charging process, if contact is negative electrode, discharge process), because the electric capacity of micro-test specimen 2 is very little, this charge and discharge process can complete moment; Contact and discharged and recharged after, due to the opposite sex principle of repelling each other, the suffered electrostatic force of micro-test specimen 2 is reverse, electrostatic force and restoring force are common drives micro-test specimen 2 to moving, until come in contact and discharged and recharged with another direct drive electrode 3 in the other direction; So repeatedly, contacting and charge and discharge process of above-mentioned micro-test specimen 2 and direct drive electrode 3, just can make micro-test specimen 2 form a kind of stable resonance motion.
In the present invention, the height of micro-test specimen 2 place insulating supporting pedestals 1 is a little more than electrode 3, micro-like this test specimen 2 is in the contact process with electrode 3, will slip over from the surface of electrode 3 and move forward, and can not stopped by electrode 3 then reverse immediately, therefore vibration amplitude can reach more than 2 times of electrode separation, is enough to meet the demand of low cycle fatigue test.
Fig. 3 is bulk testing system schematic of the present invention (comprising direct drive and load cycle pen recorder).Wherein, 5 is direct supply, and 6 is resistance, and 7 is oscillograph, and 8 is counter.As described above, micro-test specimen 2 is two interelectrode contact processes back and forth of direct drive, it is also the charge and discharge process of micro-test specimen 2 own, figuratively: when micro-test specimen contacts with negative electrode, can absorb a certain amount of electronics, while then moving to positive electrode, can discharge these electronics, thereby formed a series of pulse signal between two electrodes.Therefore this pulse signal can characterize the vibration processes of micro-test specimen and the load cycle process of torture test.By a resistance 6 of series connection between electrode, and on resistance 6 oscillograph 7 sum counters 8 in parallel, can monitor above-mentioned pulse signal, and realize the record of load cycle, as shown in Figure 4.
Fig. 5 has set forth torture test scheme of the present invention.At first, after the DC voltage of direct supply 5 outputs is applied to two electrodes 3 of the present invention, micro-test specimen 2 is in the autovibration state, and counter starts to record the load cycle number; Utilize microscope 9 and high-speed CCD 10, can obtain true vibration frequency and the vibration amplitude of micro-test specimen 2, true vibration frequency wherein can be used for the calibration of counter, and true vibration amplitude can be converted into by finite element software the vibration stress strain amplitude at micro-test specimen 2 examination positions; After micro-test specimen generation fatigure failure (micro-test specimen of this example even within a few minutes, fatigue break will occur at several hours usually), autovibration will stop, counter also stops counting automatically, and load cycle number now is exactly the test life of micro-test specimen under this vibration stress level; Then change a new micro-test specimen, and adjust the output of direct supply, can carry out the torture test under another vibration stress strain level to new test specimen with said method.
In order further to save test period, N above-mentioned test unit can be connected in parallel under same direct supply, and, at an other resistance 6 sum counters 8 that arrange of each test unit, N micro-test specimen be carried out to torture test, as shown in Figure 6 simultaneously.Each test unit and supporting resistance thereof on branch road separately, therefore for the autovibration state of each micro-test specimen 2, pulse signal that vibration is brought out and the registration of counter 8, all can the phase mutual interference,
Microstructure fatigue experimental device based on the autovibration principle of the present invention, wherein micro-test specimen 2 can be the multi-form microstructures such as micro-cantilever, micro-free beam, mems thin film, xsect can be the difformity such as square, circular, oval, preparing material can be various conductive materials, as silicon, gold, aluminium, copper, marmem etc.; Direct drive electrode 3 cylinders, its xsect can be various shape, comprises rectangle, cylindrical or oval; The material for preparing of insulating supporting pedestal 1 and substrate 4 can be multiple insulating material, comprises polyimide, silicon rubber or photoresist.
Microstructure fatigue experimental device based on the autovibration principle of the present invention, can, by changing the methods such as xsect, spacing and direct supply output of two electrodes 3, regulate the cyclic loading amplitude on micro-test specimen 2.
In a word, the present invention is simple in structure, and charger and micro-test specimen sizableness do not exist clamping and the problem of centering difficulty; Can be at gap not, be not interposing under the condition of vacuum and carry out low cycle fatigue test for micro-test specimen provides enough large test load; Can carry out at lower cost the torture test of a plurality of micro-test specimens simultaneously, and record easily the load cycle number.
