MEMS CAM Mechatronics Sustainability Prof. Takashi MATSUOKA, Tomoko HIRAYAMA Machine Elements and Tribology Laboratory http://istc.doshisha.ac.jp/course/mechanical/labo_36.html Research Contents Topic I involves research to grasp the characteristics and improve the performance of machine elements such as stepless gearboxes, bearings, and linear guides. In practice, we are developing force control mechanisms and positioning mechanisms incorporating traction drives that are attracting attention as stepless gearboxes, optimizing the design of fluid dynamic bearings used in hard-disk drives, developing ultra-precise actuators that perform positioning through minute adjustments to the hydrostatic bearing supply pressure, and developing linear guides that permit the stable and low-friction movement of objects. Topic II involves research on property evaluation of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and fine-particle peened films that are attracting attention as high-performance films. In practice, we undertake the development of heat-resistant DLC films and research into the tribological characteristics of films peened by fine molybdenum disulfide particles. We use X-rays and neutron beams to investigate the composition and structure of films and make detailed examinations of their effects on tribological characteristics in order to search for the optimal film formation conditions. Topic III involves the development of superior new materials with enhanced mechanical properties and sliding characteristics. In practice, this includes the development of new composition-controlled magnesium alloys, development of high-strength natural-fiber-reinforced composite materials using ethylene plasma polymerization, development of carbon-fiber composite materials, and improving the adhesion of copper plating by low-temperature plasma treatment.

Research Contents The Physics Laboratory aims to educate students to apply logical thought processes based on scientific knowledge to analyze familiar complex phenomena and to be able to think creatively. Therefore, the students’ research topics are diverse, with each student conducting projects to clarify the physics of phenomena that interest them. Fluid phenomena such as waves and vortices that we experience in everyday life follow deterministic equations and exhibit complex and diverse motions due to non-linearity and high degrees of freedom. As we can note from Da Vinci sketches, physics has a long history of attracting researchers from diverse fields who have developed a magnificent body of theory. However, uncharted areas of research still remain and the new concepts of soliton and chaos have appeared. Finding solutions to difficult problems that have remained historically unresolved requires a new integrated approach through multidisciplinary joint research that fully exploits the features of today’s information age. Our current topics of interest include the following. 1. Self-organized structure and cooperative phenomena in disordered systems Despite the overall disorder of the system, structures can appear spontaneously. The elements can also accumulate into an organization with a single function. We are attempting to physically elucidate why systems or nature shows a preference for such structures and why each element plays a role. 2. Statistical theory of macroscopically disordered systems Statistical theories supporting the solution of the complex fluctuations and the population of solutions are effective in multi-dimensional chaos, mixing, and turbulence. It is important to pursue these statistical laws, to clarify their dependence on macroscopic conditions, and to what degree they are independent. 3. Stability and pattern dynamics When control parameters are changed, the regular patterns (solutions) can become unstable and branch to new solutions, making a transition to a more complex (disordered) state. 4. Nonlinear wave phenomena The linear phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, and scattering are known for waves such as light, ripples and sound. However, the consideration of nonlinear effects leads us to an extensive range of phenomena from regular waves like solitons to complex waves such as the wind-driven turbulent waves typical in the ocean. 5. Interaction between flow and objects The movement of an object through a fluid, such as a curving and flying ball, and movement of a fluid through an object, such as flow through a pipe or the flow of water in a bay, is of industrial importance as well as academic interest. 6. Geophysical fluid dynamics and environmental problems The movement of a fluid within the atmosphere and ocean are well known as theconvection, ocean currents and waves. Noise and the dispersion of pollutants are known as environmental problems. These are important issues that are closely related to our everyday lives. 7. Singularities and the existence of solutions in nonlinear partial differential equations Knowledge of the mathematical properties of governing equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, is extremely important for a physical understanding. For example, see “millennium prize problems.” 8. Emergent functions of organisms and cooperating groups As represented by organisms, the properties and functions of an organization depend on the arrangement and combination of the components. We investigate the mechanism and applications of such emergent function.
