Analytical model based on the Bernoulli beam theory and strain compatibility conditions at the interfaces between the two layers have been developed to predict the distribution of thermal stresses within the multi-layered structure due to the mismatch of thermal expansion. The closed-form solution of thermal stresses related to the material properties and geometry were obtained. It is useful to provide a simple and efficient analytical model, so that the stress level in the layers can be accurately estimated. The analytical results are compared with finite element results. Good agreement demonstrates that the proposed approach is able to provide an efficient way for the calculation of the thermal stresses.

An accurate estimate of thermal stresses in multilayered microelectronics structures along the bonded interfaces is crucial for design and prediction of delamination-related failures. Compared with a numerical method, analytical closed-form solution can offer a more rapid method to obtain the stresses at the interfaces. An analytical model for ply-level sub-laminate analysis is investigated in this paper. The theory presented treats each layer as a beam-type plate with orthotropic material properties. As an example, the results are shown for a three-layer beam problem with special orthotropic material properties. Analytical model results are compared with the finite element analysis results, as a first order approximation.

This work examines the design of legs for a walking microrobot. The parameterized force-displacement relationships of planar serpentine flexure-based two degree-of-freedom legs are analyzed. An analytical model based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is developed to explore the design space, and is subsequently refined to include contact between adjacent beams. This is used to determine a successful leg geometry given dimensional constraints and actuator limitations. Standard comb drive actuators that output 100 μN of force over a 15 μm bi-directional throw are shown able to drive a walking gait with three legs on a 1 cm2 silicon die microrobot. If the comb drive suspensions cannot withstand the generated reaction moments, an alternate pivot-based leg linkage is proposed.

This theoretical investigation intends to study the nano-tunnel problem of the single electron transistor (SET), which is one of the most important components in the nano-electronics industry. With a combined effort of quantum mechanics and similarity parameter, the partial differential equation of transient position-probability density is attained and can be applied to predict the electron’s position inside the nano tunnel. Also, an appropriate set of the initial and the boundary conditions is set up in accordance to the actual electron behavior for solving this PDE of probability density function. Thereafter, a simple, closed-form solution for the probability density is obtained and expressed in terms of the error function for a new similarity variable η. Note that this analytic similarity solution is easy to perform the calculation and suitable for any further mathematical operation, such as the optimization applications. In addition, it is shown that these predications are reasonable and in good agreement to the physical meanings, which are evaluated from both microscopic and macroscopic viewpoints. In conclusions, this is an innovative approach by using the Schro¨dinger equation directly to solve the nano-tunnel problem. Moreover, with the aids of this analytic position-probability-density solution, it is illustrated that the free single electron in the SET’s tunnel can only appear at some specified regions, which are defined by a dimensionless parameter η within a range of 0 ≤ η ≤ 2. This result can be served as a valuable design reference for setting the practical manufacture requirement.

In this study, an analytical model to obtain a closed-form solution for thermomechanical behaviours of BGA (Ball Grid Array) package was derived and experimentally validated. In the theoretical analysis, the BGA package was represented by a three-layer axisymmetrical model: two layers of dissimilar materials jointed by a graded interlayer. Based on the classical bending theory, the thermal stresses induced by temperature changes were calculated accurately. 2-D FE (Finite Element) meshes of BGA packages subjected to high temperature were used to verify the theoretical solutions. Furthermore, two types of BGA samples, each with eutectic (63wt%Sn/37wt%Pb) and Pb-free SAC387 (95.5wt%Sn/3.8wt%Ag/0.7wt%Cu) solder joints respectively, were experimentally investigated by high resolution Moire´ Interferometry (MI). Thermal cycling tests were performed on each package with temperature variation from 25°C to 125°C. It was found that the thermal deformation obtained from moire´ tests matched well with those from analytical solutions and FE analyses. Based on the shear strain values, the reliability characteristics of BGA assemblies were also assessed.

This paper demonstrates experimentally, theoretically, and numerically a wide-range tunability of an in-plane clamped-clamped microbeam, bridge, and resonator compressed by a force due to electrothermal actuation. We demonstrate that a single resonator can be operated at a wide range of frequencies. The microbeam is actuated electrothermally, by passing a DC current through it. We show that when increasing the electrothermal voltage, the compressive stress inside the microbeam increases, which leads eventually to its buckling. Before buckling, the fundamental frequency decreases until it drops to very low values, almost to zero. After buckling, the fundamental frequency increases, which is shown to be as high as twice the original resonance frequency. Analytical results based on the Galerkin discretization of the Euler Bernoulli beam theory are generated and compared to the experimental data and to simulation results of a multi-physics finite-element model. A good agreement is found among all the results.

The vibration analysis of a multi-cracked beam using discrete element technique (DET) was investigated in this study. Undamped simply supported beam was traversed by moving mass with constant speed and Euler Bernoulli beam theory was considered. Cracks are located in different positions and maximum deflection of mid-span was derived and compared. The results showed that increasing numbers of cracks in the beam causes more deflection while maximum deflection of beam takes longer time to build up. The results were validated by solving the equations generated using finite element method (FEM) and their comparison with already established results from previous similar studies (literatures) showed good agreement.

Closed form solution is obtained for stresses in a rotationally symmetric, nonhomogeneous, anisotropic, annular disk of varying thickness and density, subjected to thermal loading. Analysis is presented for a particular type of anisotropy, namely Polar Orthotropy, in which axes of anisotropy coincide with the principal axes of stresses at each point in the disk. The variations of homogenity, density and thickness are assumed to be hyperbolic. Numerical results in the form of graphs presented show the effect of nonhomogenity, density and degree of orthotropy on the stress distribution in a disk subjected to constant and varying temperature gradients. Homogeneous, varying density anisotropic rotating disk of varying thickness forms a special case of the analysis.

A closed-form solution has been discovered for axially symmetric radial flow of rigid/linear-hardening materials. It is assumed that the materials obey the von Mises flow rule and that the flow field is in steady state. Explicit expressions for the stress components and the radial velocity are given. The applicability of the solution to wire drawing or extrusion is discussed. Some approximate formulas are derived and shown to be in good agreement, within their range of validity, with experimental results for drawing.

This paper is Part 2 of two papers illustrating how isochronous stress strain curves can be used to calculate creep stresses and damage for pressure vessel components. Part 1 [1], illustrated the use of isochronous stress strain curves to obtain creep stresses and damages on two simple example problems which were solved using closed form solution. In Part 2, the isochronous method is implemented in finite element analysis to determine creep stresses and damages on pressure vessel components. Various different pressure vessel components are studied using this method and the results obtained using this method is compared time explicit Omega creep model. The results obtained from the isochronous method is found to be in good agreement with the time explicit Omega creep model.
