Abstract A mathematical analysis of failure developments for tubular hydroforming under combined internal pressure and end feeding is presented in this paper. Under considerations are two distinct failure modes, namely the bursting and the wrinkling. Bursting is an instability phenomenon where the tube can’t sustain any more tensile loading. Splitting usually follows due to extreme deformations in the bursting area. Wrinkling is due to high compression load, which deteriates the qulity of the final product. The deformation theory of plasticity is utilized in this study that takes into account of material anisotropy. The governing equations for the onset of both failure modes are established. The results are presented as Hydroforming Failure Diagram in the End Feed – Internal Pressure space. A parametric study of the failure criteria for a variety of materials and process parameters is performed. It is shown that the material anisotropy plays a significant role. The results provide guidelines for product designers and process engineers for the avoidance of failure during hydroforming. The validity and applicability of current study are also discussed.

Ultraviolet (UV) Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) is a replication method that is well known for its capability to address a wide range of pattern sizes and shapes. It has proven to be an efficient production method for patterning resist layers with features ranging from a few hundred micrometers and down to the nanometer range. Best results can be achieved if the fundamental behavior of the imprint resist and the pattern filling are considered by the equipment and process parameters. In particular, the material properties and pattern size and shape play a crucial role. For capillary force-driven filling behavior it is important to understand the influencing parameters and respective failure modes in order to optimize the processes for reliable full wafer manufacturing. In this work, the nanoimprint results obtained for different pattern geometries are compared with respect to pattern quality and residual layer thickness: The comprehensive overview of the relevant process parameters is helpful for setting up NIL processes for different nanostructures with minimum layer thickness.

Failure analyses of laminated fibrous composite structures were conducted using the failure criteria based on a multiscale approach. The failure criteria used the stresses and strains in the fiber and matrix materials, respectively, rather than those smeared values at the lamina level. The failure modes and their respective failure criteria consist of fiber failure, matrix failure and their interface failure explicitly. In order to determine the stresses and strains at the constituent material level (i.e. fiber and matrix materials), analytical expressions were derived using a unit-cell model. This model was used for the multiscale approach for both upscaling and downscaling processes. The failure criteria are applicable to both quasi-static loading as well as dynamic loading with strain rate effects.

Environmental and loading mode effects on the tensile properties of Hemp fibre were investigated. At first, absorption of moisture into the fibre from ambient air and absorption of water into the fibre in immersion were studied. Then static and cyclic loadings tensile tests were conducted in various temperature and humidity conditions. It was found that, in ambient air (0% < RH < 80%) the moisture content of the studied fibre decreased with the increase of temperature conformed to the GAB model suggesting a multilayer absorption mechanism. On the contrary, for the fibre immersed in water, the moisture content increased with the increase of temperature. The activation of temperature on the diffusion of the water into the fibre by micro-pores and lumens jointly with the lack of possibility for the imprisoned water to evaporate might be the cause of this effect. Experimental results suggested that temperature and humidity could individually reduce the mechanical properties of Hemp fibre. Their interaction caused even a more harmful effect. Semi empirical and neural networks were used to predict the hygro-thermal effects on the mechanical properties under static tensile loading. Broken surfaces of the specimens were also examined showing different failure modes for static and cyclic tensile loadings. Finally, the value of the cellulose micro-fibrils angle (MFA) estimated using the static tensile stress-strain curve was 8.4o±1.9o.

Abstract A study is conducted to examine and predict the micromechanical failure modes in a unidirectional composite when subjected to tensile loading parallel to the fibers. Experimental observations are made at some selected stress levels to identify the initiation and growth of micro damage during loading. The axisymmetric damage model of a concentric cylinder is then utilized to postulate and analyze some failure scenarios.

Longitudinal Strains

In service pipelines exhibit bending loads in a variety of in-field situation. These bending loads can induce large longitudinal strains, which may trigger local buckling on the pipe's compressive side and/or lead to rupture of the pipe's tensile side. In this article, the post-buckling failure modes of pressurized X65 steel pipelines under monotonic bending loading conditions are studied via both experimental and numerical investigations. Through the performed full-scale bending test, it is shown that the post-buckling rupture is only plausible to occur in the pipe wall on the tensile side of the wrinkled cross section under the increased bending. Based on the experimental results, a finite element (FE)-based numerical model with a calibrated cumulative fracture criterion was proposed to conduct a parametric analysis on the effects of the internal pressure on the pipe's failure modes. The results show that the internal pressure is the most crucial variable that controls the ultimate failure mode of a wrinkled pipeline under monotonic bending load. And the post-buckling rupture of the tensile wall can only be reached in highly pressurized pipes (hoop stress no less than 70% SMYS for the investigated X65 pipe). That is, no postwrinkling rupture is likely to happen below a certain critical internal pressure even after an abrupt distortion of the wrinkled wall on the compressive side of the cross section.

Abstract Processing fine pitch flip chip devices continues to pose problems for packaging and manufacturing engineers. Optimizing process parameters such that defects are limited and long-term reliability of the assembly is increased can be a very tedious task. Parameters that effect the robustness of the process include the flux type and placement parameters. Ultimately, these process parameters can effect the long-term reliability of the flip chip assembly by either inhibiting or inducing process defects. Therefore, care is taken to develop a process that is robust enough to supply high yields and long term reliability, but still remains compatible with a standard surface mount technology process. This is where process optimization becomes most critical and difficult. What is the optimum height of the flux thin film used for a dip process? What force is required to insure that the solder bumps make contact with the pads? What are the limiting boundaries in which high yields and high reliabilities are achieved, while maintaining a streamlined, proven process? The following study evaluates a set of process parameters and their impact on process defects and reliability. The study evaluates process parameters including, flux type, flux application parameters, placement force and placement accuracy to determine their impact. Solder voiding, inadequate solder wetting, and crack propagation and delamination in the underfill layer are defects examined in the study. Assemblies will be subjected to liquid-to-liquid thermal shock testing (−55° C to 125°C) to determine failure modes due to the aforementioned defects. The results will show how changes in process parameters effect yield and reliability.

In this paper, a refined quasi-three-dimensional shear deformation theory for thermo-mechanical analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates resting on a two-parameter (Pasternak model) elastic foundation is developed. Unlike the other higher-order theories the number of unknowns and governing equations of the present theory is only four against six or more unknown displacement functions used in the corresponding ones. Furthermore, this theory takes into account the stretching effect due to its quasi-three-dimensional nature. The boundary conditions in the top and bottoms surfaces of the sandwich functionally graded plate are satisfied and no correction factor is required. Various types of functionally graded material sandwich plates are considered. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using the principle of virtual displacements. Numerical examples, selected from the literature, are illustrated. A good agreement is obtained between numerical results of the refined theory and the reference solutions. A parametric study is presented to examine the effect of the material gradation and elastic foundation on the deflections and stresses of functionally graded sandwich plate resting on elastic foundation subjected to thermo-mechanical loading.
