A finite element code was developed for the analysis of the temperature field around two adjacent cylindrical cryo-probes. The two-phase, two-dimensional Stefan problem is solved using a moving boundary approach and space-time finite elements. Solution of one-cryo-probe problem compared well with an existing analytic solution. The two-cryo-probes problem yielded reasonable results. The program simulated the nonsymmetric activation of two probes and the merging of the two freezing fronts in the case of symmetric activation.

A new method for determining the stresses in a finite element analysis on the surface of a body is proposed. The body is meshed using standard quadratic isoparametric elements and the nodal displacements determined in the normal way. The stresses are then determined within any surface element by letting the quadratic become a cubic element, applying the corner nodal displacements and known boundary stresses as penalty functions, and then performing a finite element analysis on the single element. The solution then yields a further set of displacements from which the stresses can be determined. The method is applied to various two-dimensional bodies and the improvements in the predicted boundary stresses shown.

In this paper, a finite element code especially for micro-magnetostrictive actuators was developed. Two significant characteristics of the presented finite element code are: (1) the magnetostrictive hysteresis phenomenon is effectively taken into account; (2) intrinsic geometric feature of typical thin film structures of large length to thickness ratio, which makes it very difficult to construct finite element mesh in the region of the thin film, is considered reasonably in modeling micro-magneostrictive actuators. For verification purpose, magnetostrictive thin films were fabricated and tested in the form of a cantilevered actuator. The Tb-Fe film and Sm-Fe film are sputtered on the Si and Polyimide substrates individually. The magnetic and magnetostrictive properties of the sputtered magnetostrictive films are measured. The measured magnetostrictive coefficients are compared with the numerically calculated ones.
