Brake judder is a phenomenon of noise which its vibration can be felt physically by the driver of a vehicle. If this vibration is exposed to the driver for a long period it can lead to tiredness during driving. There are two types of judder which is cold judder and hot judder. This paper will be focusing on the hot judder. As a disc surface heats up during braking it causes both sides of the disc distort and hence produce a sinusoidal waviness around its edges. In this paper finite element analysis of hot judder is performed using a commercial software package, ABAQUS. An existing brake disc design is simulated and will be used as a baseline model. Various structural modifications made on the disc are proposed in an attempt to reduce brake judder in a disc brake assembly.

We are developing a new solution for wide I/O package on package applications, which is Bond Via Array (BVA) technology. The prototype vehicle built in this study has 1020 I/O's at a pitch of 0.24 mm with a high aspect ratio of approximately 10:1 and is ≤1.4 mm tall. PoP applications require large bandwidth and thinner packages challenging package developers to address warpage control for high yield processes. The design optimization of this package was established through rigorous finite element analysis of materials selection and structural modifications. The simulation methodology was validated by measuring the warpage as a function of temperature for the experimental prototypes. The details for the simulation and verification processes for the wide I/O process will be discussed. The variation between finite element analysis predictions and the experimental builds was ~10%, which allowed us to complete package design optimization with our simulation tools. The prototype build includes a standard and a low CTE substrate.

All-terrain vehicle is famously used for various purposes such as in civilian and military. The use of finite element analysis in a preliminary design stage has been demonstrated to be cost and time effective. In this paper, the finite element analysis of a brake disc for All-Terrain-Vehicle (ATV) is demonstrated. Eulerian-Lagrangian method was employed in this work where simple annular ring was used as the disc model. This study is limited to thermal and contact analysis between the disc and brake pad. The results in term of temperature and stresses distribution is obtained and presented. Moreover, the lateral displacement of the disc due to the friction contact is also shown. These results are then used to as a technical guideline in designing brake system for a fully customized ATV
