In this paper, an interaction integral is applied to evaluate the crack-tip field intensity factors for piezoelectric cracks by using BEM. Based on this, the fracture parameters for different crack configurations and loading conditions are analyzed in details for both the center crack and edge crack problem. According to the present results, the path-independent behavior of the interaction integral is verified. The comparison of the I-integral results with those by the J-integral and the displacement interpolating methods shows a good agreement.

Die crack is a common problem in the semiconductor industry and being able to predict the breaking force at a given loading condition could help prevent such crack problem. This paper presents the use of mechanical simulation in predicting the force at which the silicon die breaks in semiconductor package assembly process. A computer simulation with finite element analysis (FEA) technique was used. The applied force or displacement in a die bending simulation with 3 mm, 4 mm and 15 mm support span was varied until the resulting maximum principal stress of the die becomes equal to its fracture strength. Results revealed that the breaking force for the 70 µm die with 6 mm width is around 5 N for the 3 mm support span and only around 1 N for the 15 mm support span. With the good agreement between modeling and actual results, the study showed that mechanical simulation is an effective approach in predicting die breaking force and can be used to simulate different mechanical loads in the package assembly where possible die crack could happen and be avoided. This is a fast and cost-effective way of assessing risk of die crack and obtaining package assembly process parameters and specifications that are safe to the silicon die.

Abstract During a cornering maneuver by a vehicle, high forces are exerted on the tire's footprint and in the contact zone between the tire and the rim. To optimize the design of these components, a method is presented whereby the forces at the tire-rim interface and between the tire and roadway may be predicted using finite element analysis. The cornering tire is modeled quasi-statically using a nonlinear geometric approach, with a lateral force and a slip angle applied to the spindle of the wheel to simulate the cornering loads. These values were obtained experimentally from a force and moment machine. This procedure avoids the need for a costly dynamic analysis. Good agreement was obtained with experimental results for self-aligning torque, giving confidence in the results obtained in the tire footprint and at the rim. The model allows prediction of the geometry and of the pressure distributions in the footprint, since friction and slip effects in this area were considered. The model lends itself to further refinement for improved accuracy and additional applications.

This paper presents two nose cones models and their numerical calculation of aerodynamic noise in high speed airflow field combining the analysis theory of fluid dynamics with the acoustic boundary element analysis method. The noise sound pressure levels (SPL) of these two models are calculated under the different speed airflow. And we compare the SPL of the better model with that of commercial nose cone models. These simulated results show that the aerodynamic noise of the nose cone with a ellipsoid head has lower flow-induced noise than that of commercial nose cone models at relative high air flow velocities at most frequencies.
