Properties Of Composites

Object Oriented Finite Element Analysis (OOF2) is used to predict the thermal and mechanical properties of Al – MgO composites. In this work, three compositions of composites containing 5%, 10% and 15% MgO (by volume) are studied. The influence of MgO volume fraction is examined in terms of effective Young's modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites. In addition, the stress and strain contours are plotted, which are helpful to understand the mechanical behavior of these composites. It is noted that the properties of composites are improved because of the presence of MgO . However, local stresses increase with filler content.

Object oriented finite element analysis (OOF2) is used to estimate the thermal and mechanical properties of WC– Al 2 O 3 composites. In the present work, five compositions of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% Al 2 O 3 (by volume) are studied. Young's modulus, thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient are estimated using OOF2 and compared with other known analytical methods. Stress and strain contours are plotted to study the thermal and mechanical behavior of composites. It is found that the stresses are largely concentrated at the interfaces of the WC– Al 2 O 3 phases.

Residual stresses are basically developed due to intrinsic and extrinsic strains that form during the processing of composite materials. The extrinsic strains can be determined using Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), material properties, geometry of the structure, and processing conditions. Finite Element Method (FEM) as an efficient alternative technique for stress and strain analysis of the micromechanical systems and structures, has been employed to numerically investigate the residual stresses developed in Metal-Core Piezoelectric Fibers (MPF) and Active Fiber Composites (AFC) (or Macro Fiber Composites (MFC)), during the processing. Here in this work, ANSYS Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software is used to develop three different 3-dimensional models for MPF and MFC structures and then each model is solved for strain and stress results. Next, the stress and strain components of these models are studied throughout the structures to identify the magnitude and type of the stresses and strains within the constituent materials and then compared.

This chapter discussed the object oriented finite element (OOF2)-based studies for ceramic composites. OOF2 is an effective method that uses an actual microstructure image of the material/composites for simulation. The effect of filler inclusions on the thermomechanical properties (coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, Young’s modulus, stress and strain) is discussed. For this purpose, various ceramics composites (thermal barrier coating and ferroelectric based) are considered at homogeneous and heterogeneous temperature/stress conditions. The maximum stress is found at the interface of the filler/matrix due to their mismatch of thermal expansion coefficient. Further, residual and localized interface stress distributions are evaluated to analyze the composite’s failure behavior. The possible integration of OOF2 with other simulation techniques is also explored.

Die crack is one of the problems in stacked die semiconductor packages. As silicon dies become thinner in such packages due to miniaturization requirement, the tendency to have die crack increases. This study presents the investigation done on a die crack issue in a stacked die package using finite element analysis (FEA). The die stress induced during the package assembly processes from die attach to package strip reflow was analyzed and compared with the actual die crack failure in terms of the location of maximum die stress at unit level as well as strip level. Stresses in the die due to coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch of the package component materials and mechanical bending of the package in strip format were taken into consideration. Comparison of the die stress with actual die crack pointed to strip bending as the cause of the problem and not CTE mismatch. It was found that the die crack was not due to the thermal processes involved during package assembly. This study showed that analyzing die stress using FEA could help identify the root cause of a die crack problem during the stacked die package assembly and manufacturing as crack occurs at locations of maximum stress. The die crack mechanism can also be understood through FEA simulation and such understanding is very important in coming up with robust solution.

Millions in the world suffering diabetes mellitus depends on insulin therapy to control their blood glucose level daily. However, the painful daily injections they need to take could lead to other complications if it is not done correctly. To date, it is suggested by many researchers and medical doctors that the needles should be inserted at any angles of 90º or 45º. Nevertheless, this recommendation has not been supported by clinical or biomechanical evaluation. Hence, this study evaluates the needle insertion for insulin therapy to find the favourable angles in order to reduce injury and pain onto the skin. Finite element analysis was done by  simulating the injection of three-dimensional (3D) needle model into a 3D skin model. The insertions were simulated at two different angles, which are 45ºand 90º with two different lengths of needles; 4 mm and 6 mm. This study concluded the favourable angle for 4 mm needle to be 90º while 6 mm needle was best to be inserted at 45º as these angles exerted the least maximum stress and strain onto the skin.
