An exact solution of the strip equilibrium equations is combined with the Tsai-Hill failure criterion to facilitate an initial flexural failure analysis of uniformly-loaded, antisymmetrically-laminated, GFRP and CFRP angle-ply strips. Dimensionless, initial-failure data (that is, failure loads and their associated strip centre-line deflections) are presented for the practical range of fibre orientations, 15° ≤|θ| ≤ 75°, in strips comprising up to ten laminae.

Two fuselage type, stitched composite shear panels with J-shape stiffeners manufactured through the process of Resin Transfer Molding technique were tested. Through the diagonal tension tests, it was found that failure of each panel occurred at approximately 3.5 times its initial buckling load, indicating significant diagonal tension strength. Neither of the panels failed by stiffener “pop-off,” showing that the stitching helps to inhibit this failure mode. No other damage or delamination of the panel was visible as well. The newly developed generalized Yeh-Stratton (Y-S) failure criterion was used to evaluate the failure of these composite panels. Compared with several other failure criteria, the calculated failure loads are quite close to experimental results and all are conservative. The Y-S criterion is the most conservative for this case.

Abstract The failure analysis community working on highly integrated mixed signal circuitry is entering an era where simultaneously System-On-Chip technologies, denser metallization schemes, on-chip dissipation techniques and intelligent packages are being introduced. These innovations bring a great deal of defect accessibility challenges to the failure analyst. To contend in this era while aiming for higher efficiency and effectiveness, the failure analysis environment must undergo a disruptive evolution. The success or failure of an analysis will be determined by the careful selection of tools, data and techniques in the applied analysis flow. A comprehensive approach is required where hardware, software, data analysis, traditional FA techniques and expertise are complementary combined [1]. This document demonstrates this through the incorporation of advanced scan diagnosis methods in the overall analysis flow for digital functionality failures and supporting the enhanced failure analysis methodology. For the testing and diagnosis of the presented cases, compact but powerful scan test FA Lab hardware with its diagnosis software was used [2]. It can therefore easily be combined with the traditional FA techniques to provide stimulus for dynamic fault localizations [3]. The system combines scan chain information, failure data and layout information into one viewing environment which provides real analysis power for the failure analyst. Comprehensive data analysis is performed to identify failing cells/nets, provide a better overview of the failure and the interactions to isolate the fault further to a smaller area, or to analyze subtle behavior patterns to find and rationalize possible faults that are otherwise not detected. Three sample cases will be discussed in this document to demonstrate specific strengths and advantages of this enhanced FA methodology.

Abstract Accelerated life testing (ALT) has been a common choice to study the effects of environmental stresses on flexible hybrid electronics (FHE), a promising technology to produce flexible electronic devices. Nevertheless, accelerated degradation testing (ADT) has proven to be a more effective approach, which does not require failure occurrences, allowing shorter testing times. Since FHE devices are expected to be highly reliable, ADT provides useful information in the form of degradation data for further analysis without actual failure data. In this paper, we present the design and experimental setup of ADT for FHE considering two stress factors simultaneously. We use daisy-chain resistance as a measurable degradation characteristic to periodically monitor the degradation of FHE products under accelerated stress conditions. Two stress factors, temperature and humidity, are considered and ADT was carried out considering four combinations of temperature and humidity simultaneously. Failure analysis was performed on failed units to investigate the failure process and location of the failure. The ADT data was used to fit in the appropriate mathematical degradation model representing the failure process. The data analysis showed faster degradation paths for higher stress combinations. Finally, we present insights and further research opportunities to expand the work.

Progressive failure analysis (PFA) is widely used to predict the failure behavior of composite materials. As a structure becomes more complex with discontinuities, prediction of failure becomes more difficult and mesh dependence must be taken into account. In this study, a PFA model was developed using the Hashin failure criterion and crack band model. The failure initiation was evaluated using the Hashin failure criterion. If failure initiation occurred, the damage variables at each failure mode (fiber tension and compression; matrix tension and compression) were calculated according to linear softening degradation and they were then used to derive the damaged stiffness matrix. This matrix reflected a degraded material, and PFA was continued until the damage variables became “1,” implying complete material failure. A series of processes were performed using the finite element method program ABAQUS with a user-defined material subroutine. To evaluate the proposed PFA model, experimental results of open-hole composite laminate tests were compared with the obtained numerical results. The strain behaviors were compared using a digital image correlation system. The obtained numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental ones.

The present work aims to obtain failure loads for open-hole unidirectional composite plates under tensile loading. For this purpose, a user-defined material model in the finite element analysis package, ABAQUS, was developed to predict the failure load of the open-hole composite laminates using progressive failure analysis. Hashin and modified Yamanda-Sun’s failure criteria with complete and Camanho’s material degradation model are studied. In order to achieve the most accurate predictions, the influence of failure criteria and property degradation rules are investigated and failure loads and failure modes of the composites are compared with the same experimental test results from literature. A good agreement between experimental results and numerical predictions was observed.
