TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of materials, in particular to a method and device for analyzing buckling behavior of a light-driven thin film substrate structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Surface wrinkle morphology of thin film substrate structure widely exists in nature. When sufficient compressive stress is generated in the thin film, surface buckling of the thin film forms wrinkles to make the system have lower energy, thereby spontaneously generating out-of-plane displacement to release internal stress. Such surface wrinkle phenomenon is applied to fields of flexible electronic devices and optical devices.
[0003] With the development of smart materials, thin film substrate structures based on piezoelectric, flexoelectric and light-driven materials have appeared in succession. Among them, light-driven materials are concerned due to their flexible control, non-contact, fast response and other characteristics. The driving mechanism of the light-driven materials is that the photoactive component undergoes photoisomerization under ultraviolet light irradiation, disturbs the liquid crystal structure, and produces macroscopic spontaneous deformation. By reasonably setting conditions, internal stress can be accurately controlled.
[0004] However, object deformation of the light-driven materials is closely related to light conditions, which may produce light-deformation coupling phenomenon, and even cause continuous spontaneous motion, which increases the difficulty of accurate analysis and control of buckling behavior, and also limits its application in some fields with high accuracy requirements.

It should be understood that these are merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application.

The material parameters include the equivalent elastic modulus of the thin film, the equivalent elastic modulus of the substrate, the thickness of the thin film, and the distance of light propagation when the light intensity decays by one unit under the unit azobenzene molecule content.
[0036] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the photo-induced strain model provided by the embodiments of the present application. The structure is composed of a light-responsive liquid crystal thin film, i.e. a thin film containing azobenzene liquid crystal elastomer and a substrate. When ultraviolet light irradiates the surface of the light-responsive liquid crystal thin film, the chromophore in the liquid crystal material will absorb ultraviolet light energy and undergo photo-induced cis-trans isomerization. Specifically, the chromophore changes from the original trans structure to the curved cis structure. This structural change significantly changes the order of the liquid crystal system, which in turn causes the thin film to spontaneously expand in the direction perpendicular to the director direction of the liquid crystal material. Due to the restraining effect of the substrate on the thin film, the thin film will be restricted when it spontaneously expands, thereby generating in-plane stress in the thin film. When the stress in the film accumulates to a certain level, the thin film surface will release the stress through a destabilization process to maintain the stability of the structure. As the surface topography of the thin film changes due to the destabilization, the light incident angle of the light received by each part of the thin film surface will also change. Due to the difference in light incident angle, the propagation and absorption of light in the thin film will also be different, ultimately resulting in a non-uniform distribution of photo-induced strain in the length direction of the thin film. The present application uses a specific coordinate system to describe the thin film substrate structure, with the origin of the coordinate system set at the interface between the thin film and the substrate. Among them, the thin film in the coordinate system parallel to the substrate interface is denoted as x, the thin film in the coordinate system perpendicular to the substrate interface is denoted as y, and the substrate in the coordinate system perpendicular to the substrate interface is denoted as z. direction perpendicular to the director of the liquid crystal material, the film is in the coordinate parallel to the director of the liquid crystal material direction parallel to the director of the liquid crystal material, the film is in the coordinate perpendicular to the interface of the substrate direction perpendicular to the interface and pointing to the film.

In Figure 4 (b) shows the average elastic properties of the system before and after the simplification of photo-induced strain. The situation varies with the geometric parameters of the morphology. According to... Figure 4 It can be seen that the minimum average elastic energy of the simplified system and its corresponding morphological geometric parameters are not significantly different from those before simplification. This indicates that the simplified equivalent photo-induced strain in this application has high accuracy, meaning that this simplification will not have a significant impact on the analysis results of the film buckling morphology.
[0092] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the finite element analysis results provided in an embodiment of this application. The research object of this application conforms to the plane strain assumption, and a two-dimensional analysis model is established using the commercial finite element analysis software ABAQUS, as shown below. Figure 5 (a) shows the established two-dimensional analysis model. The film thickness was set to 1 mm, and the substrate thickness to 60 mm; the Young's moduli of the film and the substrate were 1365 MPa and 0.8 MPa, respectively, and their Poisson's ratios were 0.3 and 0.45, respectively. After mesh convergence analysis, 200 B21 beam elements were used to simulate the film, and 3597 CPS4R planar shell elements were used to simulate the substrate. The film and the substrate were connected by Tie constraints. The finite element analysis model served as the representative element of the actual research object. Symmetrical boundary conditions were applied on both sides to simulate the influence of the unmodeled parts, and longitudinal displacement constraints were applied to the lower surface of the substrate to eliminate the rigid body free motion in this direction. Since ABAQUS does not have a preset photo-induced strain loading method, thermal expansion loading was used instead. To realize that the load changes with the morphology, the thermal expansion of each incremental step was handled independently in the simulation using an ABAQUS user subroutine. The specific process is as follows: At the end of the previous iteration step, the URDFIL subroutine is called to extract the displacement of each node of the thin film and output it to an external file; before the start of the next iteration step, the USDFLD subroutine is called to read the external file storing displacement information, calculate the incident angle of illumination and the corresponding photoinduced strain of each element, and transfer the strain increment value to the UEXPAN subroutine through the independent variable SDV to update the thermal expansion load. To induce thin film buckling in the finite element analysis, geometric defects need to be introduced. Using the Buckling analysis step, the first few buckling modes of the structure are calculated while retaining the boundary conditions and without applying temperature loads, and these modes are appropriately scaled down and introduced into the calculation model as initial geometric defects. Based on the above method, finite element analysis is carried out on the thin film substrate structure considering the illumination-morphology coupling effect using the static general analysis step. Figure 5(b) in FIG. 4 shows When the model converges to a steady state, the distribution of photo-induced strain in the film is shown in (b) in FIG. 4. The results show that when the UV light is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the distribution of photo-induced strain in the film is related to the local tilt angle, and the intensity of photo-induced strain increases as the angle between the local normal and the incident light decreases, which is consistent with the theoretical model established. Figure 5 (c) in FIG. 4 shows When the model converges to a steady state, the distribution of photo-induced strain in the film is shown in (b) in FIG. 4. The results show that when the UV light is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the distribution of photo-induced strain in the film is related to the local tilt angle, and the intensity of photo-induced strain increases as the angle between the local normal and the incident light decreases, which is consistent with the theoretical model established.
[0093] Without considering the light-morphology coupling effect, the photo-induced strain can be treated as a uniaxial compression load: wherein is the equivalent uniaxial compression load generated by the photo-induced strain, is the Poisson's ratio of the film. At the same time, there is a relationship between the dimensionless buckling amplitude and the load size: wherein is the critical load, , is the dimensionless buckling amplitude.
[0094] Figure 6 is the schematic diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application considering the influence of the coupling effect and the influence of the film buckling behavior without considering the coupling effect. Compared with considering the coupling, when the coupling is not considered, the film buckling amplitude increases faster with the increase of the light intensity. This is because when the film buckles, the local light angle of the film surface except for individual points is less than 90 degrees, and the average photo-induced strain generated is small, so the amplitude grows slowly. The simulation results of the finite element also prove this point. In addition, when the coupling is considered, the critical buckling light intensity of the light-driven film substrate structure is slightly lower than when the coupling is not considered. This may be because the non-uniform photo-induced strain causes the film to produce uneven spontaneous bending in the length direction, which makes the film produce out-of-plane displacement earlier, and then triggers surface instability. Figure 6Uncoupled means the case without considering the coupling effect. Coupled means the case considering the coupling effect. FEA means the result of Finite Element Analysis. Flat is the flat state of the thin film without buckling. At this time, the light irradiates uniformly on the surface of the thin film, and the distribution of the photo-induced strain is relatively regular. Wrinkled is the wrinkled state of the thin film after buckling. Due to the change of the surface morphology of the thin film, the local light irradiation angle changes, resulting in the uneven distribution of the photo-induced strain.
[0095] According to the theoretical analysis, the buckling behavior of the thin film is closely related to the photo-induced strain, and there is a critical photo-induced strain value. When the photo-induced strain is less than the critical value by adjusting the light intensity or the light irradiation angle, the surface of the thin film remains flat; once the photo-induced strain exceeds the critical value, the thin film will buckle. When the light incidence angle is too large or too small, the buckling morphology may cause local light shielding, causing the light irradiation state of some areas to change suddenly, thereby triggering spontaneous sustained motion. However, the present application can predict the critical light irradiation condition, i.e. the critical light irradiation angle, for triggering spontaneous sustained motion based on the static buckling morphology. The condition for spontaneous motion to occur is that the buckled thin film shields the local light irradiation, i.e. the light incidence angle is less than the maximum value of the local inclination angle θ of the thin film, and according to the displacement expression of the thin film, the maximum value of the local inclination angle θ of the thin film can be obtained as . , When , the right end of the inequality has a maximum value of . Wherein, n is an integer, is an integer set, that is n takes an integer multiple of . If the effect of the light irradiation angle on the buckling amplitude is ignored, the buckling amplitude under the condition of vertical incidence is used instead of the real buckling amplitude, and substituted into , , the critical light irradiation condition formula for generating spontaneous motion is obtained as .
[0096] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of buckling behavior of the film-substrate structure under different illumination conditions is provided in the embodiments of the present application. Each point in the diagram corresponds to an illumination condition, wherein the blue region represents a state in which the film does not wrinkle, and the orange region represents a state in which the film wrinkles. The green curve is a demarcation line between the two states, i.e., the critical illumination condition, and each point on the curve corresponds to a film photo-induced strain equal to the critical photo-induced strain. As can be seen from the diagram, when the global illumination angle changes near the vertical direction, the illumination intensity corresponding to the critical condition does not change significantly, which is consistent with the energy curve analysis result. When the illumination angle exceeds a certain range and local light blocking occurs, the film enters a spontaneous motion state, i.e., the oblique line region in the diagram. In addition, the demarcation line between the wrinkled state and the spontaneous motion state in the diagram gradually extends with the increase of the light intensity, because with the increase of the illumination intensity, the buckling amplitude increases, while the buckling wavelength changes little, resulting in the increase of the maximum inclination angle of the film with the increase of the illumination intensity, and further resulting in the increase of the critical illumination angle entering the spontaneous motion. Figure 7 Spontaneous Motion in the diagram refers to spontaneous motion.
[0097] Since the response of the light-driven film-substrate structure to illumination is closely related to material parameters, the present application focuses on discussing the influence of different material parameters on the buckling behavior. For convenience of discussion, some material parameters are dimensionless processed, and the modulus ratio and the characteristic length ratio are defined.
[0098] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the influence of the modulus ratio on the buckling behavior is provided in the embodiments of the present application. Under the condition of vertical incidence, Figure 8 (a) in the diagram presents the trend of the dimensionless critical buckling light intensity and the dimensionless buckling wavelength with the change of the film-substrate elastic modulus ratio. Figure 8 in (a) in the diagram is the dimensionless illumination intensity of the critical buckling state. With the increase of the modulus ratio, the dimensionless buckling critical light intensity gradually decreases. From the buckling mechanism, when the modulus ratio increases, the stiffness of the film increases. Compared with bending deformation, in-plane deformation makes the structure in a higher elastic potential state, so the structure is more likely to buckle, i.e., the critical buckling stress decreases with the increase of the modulus ratio. Since the photo-induced deformation can be equivalent to applying a pre-strain to the film, and the size of the photo-induced strain is linearly related to the light intensity, the light intensity corresponding to the critical buckling, i.e., the dimensionless illumination intensity, is negatively related to the modulus ratio. The dimensionless buckling wavelength significantly increases with the increase of the modulus ratio, which is consistent with the general characteristics of the buckling behavior of the film-substrate structure. Figure 8(b) in FIG. 6 shows the phase diagram of buckling state of the film-substrate structure as a function of illumination state at different modulus ratio of the film-substrate. As mentioned before, the dimensionless illumination intensity state of the film-substrate structure will change significantly when the modulus ratio increases. The boundary between the spontaneous motion and the static buckling will move with the change of the modulus ratio. This phenomenon has two reasons: one is that the buckling amplitude increases, leading to the increase of the local inclination angle maximum at the same illumination state; the other is that the buckling wavelength increases with the increase of the modulus ratio, which makes the local inclination angle decrease. These two factors have opposite effects on the local inclination angle of the buckling morphology. Considering the effects of the two aspects, according to the critical illumination condition formula of the spontaneous motion, the local inclination angle maximum will increase with the increase of the modulus ratio, and then the boundary between the two buckling states will move upwards.
[0099] In the background of the influence of material parameters on the buckling behavior of the light-driven film-substrate structure, the present application further analyzes the influence of the change of the content of the photosensitive substance. Figure 9 The schematic diagram of the influence of the change of the content of the photosensitive substance provided for the embodiments of the present application. Figure 9 (a) in FIG. 6 presents the dimensionless illumination intensity as a function of the modulus ratio of the film-substrate under the condition of normal incidence. With the increase of the azobenzene mass fraction, the dimensionless illumination intensity shows a downward trend. This is because when the film is irradiated by ultraviolet light, the number of azobenzene molecules undergoing cis-trans isomerization in the film increases, and the disturbance to the order degree of the original liquid crystal system is more intense, which macroscopically shows that a larger photo-induced strain is generated. Therefore, under the condition of smaller light intensity, the film can reach the critical strain condition to cause buckling. Figure 9 (b) in FIG. 6 shows the phase diagram of buckling state of the film-substrate structure as a function of illumination state at different modulus ratio of the film-substrate. As mentioned before, the dimensionless illumination intensity state of the film-substrate structure will change significantly when the modulus ratio increases. The boundary between the spontaneous motion and the static buckling will move with the change of the modulus ratio. This phenomenon has two reasons: one is that the buckling amplitude increases, leading to the increase of the local inclination angle maximum at the same illumination state; the other is that the buckling wavelength increases with the increase of the modulus ratio, which makes the local inclination angle decrease. These two factors have opposite effects on the local inclination angle of the buckling morphology. Considering the effects of the two aspects, according to the critical illumination condition formula of the spontaneous motion, the local inclination angle maximum will increase with the increase of the modulus ratio, and then the boundary between the two buckling states will move upwards.
[0100] Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the influence of the change of the characteristic length ratio on the buckling behavior provided for the embodiments of the present application. Figure 10(a) in FIG. 6 shows the variation of the dimensionless critical buckling light intensity with the characteristic length ratio under normal incidence. It can be found that the dimensionless critical buckling light intensity increases with the increase of the characteristic length ratio. This is because when the characteristic length ratio increases, the thickness of the film increases significantly compared with the light attenuation distance, and the UV light quickly attenuates at the surface layer of the film, and the bottom does not receive sufficient light. The overall generated photo-induced strain is small, so the critical light intensity value is correspondingly increased, and under the same light condition, the buckling peak is lower. Figure 10 (b) in FIG. 6 shows the phase diagram of the buckling state of the film-based structure under different characteristic length ratios. It can be seen that after increasing the characteristic length ratio, the dividing line between the buckling and non-buckling states of the film is more obviously curved, indicating that the light angle has an increasingly significant effect on the buckling behavior of the film. In addition, the dividing line between the buckling state and the spontaneous motion state also significantly moves down with the increase of the characteristic length ratio. It can be found that when the characteristic length ratio of the film is larger, the light-induced strain changes more greatly when the light angle changes by the same size. This is because when the light is obliquely incident, the light travels a longer distance in the film, and its attenuation process is more significantly affected by the material parameters. This also leads to the fact that when the film with a larger characteristic length ratio is irradiated at a small angle, the buckling amplitude under the same light condition is significantly reduced, and the local inclination angle of the film is also reduced. Therefore, a smaller light angle or an increased light intensity is required to meet the conditions for causing spontaneous motion. At the same time, since the buckling behavior of the film is greatly affected by the light angle, the critical light conditions for generating spontaneous motion no longer meet the assumptions of the formula derivation, and exceed the applicable range of the simplified model.
