The influence of the Berkovich indenter bluntness on the indentation curves at nanoindentation test of fused silica is determined by the FEM (finite element method) in this paper. The Berkovich indenter, which is mostly used for the nanoindentation test, was assumed for calculations. The indenter is always blunted in real tests. The bluntness of the indenter has an influence on the results of the nanoindentation test. The combination of the nanoindentation test and the FE modelling can be used for the calculation of the parameters of fused silica plasticity and estimation of the bluntness of the indenter. In this paper, the FEM was used for calculating of the indentation curves. Two cases of bluntness were assumed. The curves for ideally sharp or blunted indenter were determined. The results of these calculations showed that the indentation curves are dependent on the bluntness of the Berkovich indenter. The greatest relative influence of the nanoindentation curves by the bluntness is in the area of small values of the indenter displacement. The impact of assuming blunted indenter to calculated parameters of plasticity was assessed. It is often difficult to measure the bluntness of the indenter but it has an influence on the results of the nanoindentation test and should be included into calculations to make it more precise.

Through-silicon via (TSV) technology is expected to overcome the limitations of I/O density and helps in enhancing system performance of conventional flip chip packages. One of the challenges for producing reliable TSV packages is the stacking and joining of thin wafers or dies. In the case of the conventional solder interconnections, many reliability issues arise at the interface between solder and copper bump. As an alternative solution, Cu-Cu direct thermo-compression bonding (CuDB) is a possible option to enable three-dimension (3D) package integration. CuDB has several advantages over the solder based micro bump joining, such as reduction in soldering process steps, enabling higher interconnect density, enhanced thermal conductivity and decreased concerns about intermetallic compounds (IMC) formation. Critical issue of CuDB is bonding interface condition. After the bonding process, Cu-Cu direct bonding interface is obtained. However, several researchers have reported small voids at the bonded interface. These defects can act as an initial crack which may lead to eventual fracture of the interface. The fracture could happen due to the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) mismatch between the substrate and the chip during the postbonding process, board level reflow or thermal cycling with large temperature changes. In this study, a quantitative assessment of the energy release rate has been made at the CuDB interface during temperature change finite element method (FEM). A parametric study is conducted to analyze the impact of the initial crack location and the material properties of surrounding materials. Finally, design recommendations are provided to minimize the probability of interfacial delamination in CuDB.

The cohesive zone model (CZM) has been widely used for numerical simulations of interface crack growth. However, geometrical and material discontinuities decrease the accuracy and efficiency of the CZM when based on the conventional finite element method (CFEM). In order to promote the development of numerical simulation of interfacial crack growth, a new CZM, based on the wavelet finite element method (WFEM), is presented. Some fundamental issues regarding CZM of interface crack growth of double cantilever beam (DCB) testing were studied. The simulation results were compared with the experimental and simulation results of CFEM. It was found that the new CZM had higher accuracy and efficiency in the simulation of interface crack growth. At last, the impact of crack initiation length and elastic constants of material on interface crack growth was studied based on the new CZM. These results provided a basis for reasonable structure design of composite material in engineering.

We use fuzzy finite element method (FEM) to analyze the impact of cold wave on face slab cracking of a concrete-faced rockfill dam (CFRD). The static response of dam and the temperature field of face slab are calculated using deterministic FEM since some observed and test data can be obtained. Some parameters of Goodman contact element between face slabs and cushion material are selected as fuzzy variables, and the fuzzy FEM is used to calculate fuzzy stress of face slab. The fuzzy FEM is implemented using vertex method based on the extension principle. Through the analysis of two selected calculation cases of cold wave, it is shown that the calculated cracking direction and cracking zone caused by thermal stress are similar to those of the observed cracks. This proves that the cold wave that caused swift air temperature drop is an important reason for the cracking of face slab. According to these analysis results, some cracking prevention measures are then proposed.

Air spring is used for the suspension system and it affects the vehicle stability and riding comfort by improving the impact-relief, braking, and cornering performance. Air Spring is comprised of the upper plate, lower plate, and rubber sleeve. Rubber sleeve is the composite material, which is made up of combination of rubber and Nylon, and the characteristics are changed according to the shape of rubber-sleeve, the angle of reinforcement cord. In this study, the distribution of internal stresses and the deformation of rubber composite material are analyzed through the nonlinear finite element method. The result showed that the internal maximum stresses and deformations about the changes of cord angle caused the more the Young's modulus decrease, the more maximum stress reduced.

In this paper the application of the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) to anticipate change of the behaviour of composite with complex internal structure after use of the admixtures was presented. The response to mechanical loadings of bent beams made of hydraulically bonded mixture with rubber admixture was considered. The impact of the rubber granulate on the value of fracture energy was analysed. Moreover, the influence of an interfacial transmission zone quality on the achieved effect was assessed. Calculations were conducted by means of the muli-scale numerical model which was built in ABAQUS finite element method environment. The results derived indicate beneficial effect of rubber granulate on fracture energy of hydraulically bonded mixture.

In the context of increasing the electronic components integration level, growing functionality and packaging density, as well as reducing the electronics weight and size, an integrated approach to engineering calculations of parts and assemblies of modern functionally and technically complex microelectronic products is required. Of particular importance are engineering calculations and structural modeling using computer-aided engineering systems, and also assessment of structural, technological and operational factors’ impact on the products reliability and performance. This work presents an approach to engineering calculations and microelectronic products modeling based on the finite-element method providing a comprehensive account of various factors (material properties, external loading, temperature fields, and other parameters) impact on the stress-strain state, mechanical strength, thermal condition, and other characteristics of products. On the example of parts and assemblies of products of microelectronic technology, the approximation of structures was shown and computer finite-element models were developed to study various structural and technological options of products and the effects on them. Engineering calculations and modeling of parts and assemblies were performed, taking into account the impact of material properties, design parameters and external influences on the products’ characteristics. Scientific and technical recommendations for structure optimization and design and technology solutions ensuring the products resistance to diverse effects were developed. It has been shown that an integrated approach to engineering calculations and microelectronic products modeling based on the finite-element method provides for the determination of optimal solutions taking into account structural, technological, and operational factors and allows the development of products with high tactical, technical and operational characteristics.
