In order to make the contact pressure distribution of polishing wafer surface more uniform during chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), a kind of the bionic polishing pad with sunflower seed pattern has been designed based on phyllotaxis theory, and the contact model and boundary condition of CMP have been established. Using finite element analysis, the contact pressure distributions between the polishing pad and wafer have been obtained when polishing silicon wafer and the effects of the phyllotactic parameter of polishing pad on the contact pressure distribution are found. The results show that the uniformity of the contact pressure distribution can be improved and the singularity of the contact pressure in the boundary edge of polished wafer can be decreased when the reasonable phyllotactic parameters are selected.

This paper presents an investigation of the hot judder phenomenon of multidisc clutches, which takes place during the engagement process. Depending on the results of finite element analysis, a pressure distribution function is defined and a contact pressure equation is established to demonstrate the non-uniformity of the contact pressure distribution on the friction interfaces due to frictional heat. The relationship between the coefficient of friction and the temperature is analyzed. A 4 degrees of freedom power-train model is developed to evaluate the clutch judder behavior. The paper indicates that the clutch judder is influenced by the non-uniformity of the interface contact pressure distribution, which is excited by frictionally induced thermal load. The non-uniform contact pressure distributions along the radial direction have a slight influence on the clutch judder, while the uneven contact pressure distributions along the circumference contribute to the judder substantially. Furthermore, the results in this work can be used to study the operation instability and the thermal failure of clutches.

Chemical-Mechanical Polishing is used to polish silicon wafers in the manufacturing of integrated circuits. Wafers are pressed, electronics side down, onto a rotating pad that is flooded with a slurry containing abrasive particles. The slurry is entrained in the interface and the abrasive particles slide against the silicon and polish it. Our previous work has shown that subambient pressures develop at the silicon/pad interface and we have measured this pressure and its distribution over the wafer surface (1). However, our experiments have been limited to those conditions where the pad rotates and the wafer slides on the pad but the wafer itself does not rotate. Our experiments showed a skewed pressure distribution. This paper describes experiments and pressure distribution measurements where the wafer, as well as the pad/platen is rotated (2). Specifically-designed wireless electronic transmitters and receivers were built and used to measure the interfacial pressures at the silicon/pad interface. Subambient stress maps and temperatures have been measured and Figure 1 shows an example of a skewed pressure distribution when the silicon is not rotated and Figure 2 shows the pressure distribution for the same wafer while it is rotating. The subambient pressures develop over a 2 second time period from when the rotation started. The pressure distributions are symmetric in spite of the lean and tilt of the wafers. The rotational speed and other variables have a big influence on the polishing rate and this will be discussed in the talk.

In order to obtain the contact pressure distribution between the hard disc substrate and the polishing pad and its effects on the profile of polished substrate surface, the elastic contact mechanical model and mathematical equations on the chemical mechanical polishing of the hard magnetic disc substrate are established, and also the relevant boundary conditions are put forward. The contact pressure distribution is calculated with FEM, the polishing experiments are carried out and the surface profiles of polished substrates are obtained. The study results show that the contact pressure distribution on the substrate surface is non-uniformity and the contact pressure in the substrate edge present biggish undulation. Choosing properly the Young’s modulus of the polishing pads and decreasing its Poisson’s ratios can make the uniform area of the contact pressure distribution enlarging and improve the flatness of polished substrate.

A novel design using 3 bolts for a self-energized seal connector is proposed for quick assembly applications. Contact pressure distribution on the surface of the seal ring during initial bolt-up and subsequent operating pressure is analyzed for 3″ and 10″ connectors using Finite Element Analysis. FEA is performed on a 3″ and 10″ ANSI RF flange assembly and contact pressure distribution on the RF gasket is compared with the tapered seal ring assemblies. Hydrostatic tests are carried out for the tapered seal and ANSI bolted connectors to evaluate maximum pressure at which leak occurs for both size assemblies.

The effect of rail surface crack on the wheel-rail contact pressure distribution under partial slip rolling was studied in this work. The elastic-plastic finite element model was employed for stress analyses. The numerical simulations were used to explore the effects of the contact distances and tractive force on the normal and tangential contact pressure distributions, tip plastic energy and critical wheel applied load. Contact elements were used to simulate the interaction between wheel and rail and crack surfaces. Numerical results indicate that the contact pressure distributions are significantly affected by the rail crack. Traditional contact theories are not available to describe the contact pressure distribution on the contact crack surfaces. Results also indicate that a higher friction force on the contact crack surfaces is observed for wheel subjected a larger tractive force. A larger crack surfaces friction force can reduce the sliding between crack surfaces and leads to a smaller tip plastic energy.

The paper presents the development of a computer program VIEM for the elastic analysis of multilayered elastic pavements under the action of arbitrary tire–pavement contact pressure distributions. The techniques adapted in VIEM primarily involves the use of a two-dimensional numerical integration to integrate point load solutions over the distributed pressure after discretizing the contact area into a finite number of triangular or quadrilateral elements. Values of contact pressure are inputted at the node points of discretized area. Numerical verification of VIEM indicates that numerical solution of high accuracy can be efficiently calculated for the elastic response of multilayered asphalt pavements. As a result, the determination of displacements and stresses (strains) can be achieved using a personal computer. With the use of VIEM, a theoretical investigation is further performed to illustrate the effects of tire–pavement contact pressure distributions on the response of asphalt concrete pavements. An in situ measured tire–pavement contact pressure distribution is utilized in the investigation. The response of asphalt concrete pavements due to the action of this measured contact pressure distribution is examined and compared with that due to the action of a uniform and circular contact pressure distribution by taking into account the influences of moduli and thicknesses of structural layers. The results of this investigation confirm theoretically a general consensus that details of the contact pressure distribution affect stresses and strains near the surface of the pavement, whereas the response in the lower layers depends mainly on the overall load. In particular, the contact pressure distributions have a significant effect on the horizontal tensile strains at the bottom of thin asphalt concrete layer which control the fatigue failure of asphalt pavements. Key words: tire–pavevment interaction, three-dimensional stress analysis, asphalt concrete pavements, numerical integration, multilayered elastic solids, point load solution.
