Warpage Measurement of PCB With 3D Profilometry

Flatness measurement of electronic parts and assemblies, or PCB’s, has become increasingly critical as geometries become smaller: finer pitches, smaller solder ball volumes, thinner substrates, etc. Additionally, processing temperatures vary and can play a major role in PCB warpage and or planarity defects.

The use of IOSO Optimization and ABAQUS at Civil Structures of NPP (from ABAQUS Users' Conference)

At the stage of NPP civil structure design for determination of stress-strain state (SSS) at static and dynamic loading ABAQUS is widely used. Hereto the floor response spectra are determined for calculation of loadings on the equipment at special dynamic impacts (seismic, air shock wave, aircraft crash). In case if the obtained characteristics of SSS or spectral accelerations exceed maximum permissible values, designers take actions on strengthening the corresponding structural components.

question on double cantilever beam test

I have a beginner's question on DCB testing of polymers. The fracture strength during Mode 1 loading increases with crack length due to the compliance of the test specimen. In other words it becomes harder to induce fracture as the crack length increases.Is my understanding correct?

Thanks

Venkat

 

Acurate Size Measurements of Nano Particles and Nano Pores Make Mechanical Understanding Easy

Encouraged by its current and prospective customers, Ebatco’s Nano Analysis and Testing Laboratory (NAT Lab) has expanded its nano/micro scale analytical and measurement capabilities significantly. More than ever before, customers can gain insights and comprehension of what is going on and why it has happened at the nano/micro scale.

IOSO application for casting processes

Dear Colleagues,

New practical case studies made with the aides of IOSO in new engineering fields prove universal capabilities of IOSO Optimization Technology applicable to wide variety of real-life problems. Let us provide you the brief description of the problem that was solved by Italian engineering consultancy company XC Engineering for the well-known Swiss production firm Buhler. The problem was to search for the optimal velocity of the piston in an HPDC process.

Micro Scratch Testing CrN Coating on Titanium Alloy

Specific Coatings are used to further increase performance of titanium alloy parts at elevated temperatures. More specifically, Chromium Nitride (CrN) Coatings are designed to perform under conditions of high load and temperature. By using scratch testing it is possible to detect premature adhesive failure of the CrN coating in real-life applications.

Subsea Integrity

I am teaching Subsea Integrity for the MSc students majoring in Subsea Engineering at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. This is a course that combines the fundamental principles (corrosion, fracture, fatigue and material selection) with the industry applications (subsea integrity management and implementation, cathodic protection, case studies on subsea reliability and engineering assurance).

Challenges in the finite element analysis of tire design using abaqus

Finite Element Analysis of Vehicle and Tire has become a very important aspect of a tire design and failure analysis to most Tire companies. Tire modeling with ABAQUS is a very complicated process involving complex materials like hyperelastic rubber and textile reinforcements, large model size, prolonged simulation time and various convergence issues. This white paper intends to help in understanding the challenges in tire analysis and several tips and tricks that makes a difference in the quality of the results and processing time.

Shell vs. brick elements in buckling analysis

Dear All:

I have a structural problem which deals with "Buckling" analysis of a boom with a rectangular cross-sectional area

and 0.25 in. thickness.

Can I use brick element (8 nodes) instead of shell element to simulate buckling of this type of structure? 

Thank you for your insight.

Disk vs blade natural frequencies

I'm trying to determine the coorelation of a blade natural frequency and disk (nodal diameter) natural frequency on a Turbine wheel in ANSYS Modal analysis.  Is it possible for a blade natual frequency to be excited even though a disk natural frequency is not being excited??  I'm having trouble determining if a blade frequency is related to any disk nodal diameter.  Thanks for any incite on this subject.

FEA Improves Reliability of Flip-Chip Packaging

On Aug 10, 2009, Semiconductor International (SI) Newsbreak published a report on my work in AMD about 3D fracture study of underfill delamination as the top story in that issue.  I have never imagined that. Except the pleasure I received from this good news, I wonder if this work is also interesting to iMechanica community.  For that reason, I attach here the SI news report and the original paper published on ITherm2008 Proceedings. Welcome any comments and thoughts.

 

The Boundrical Conditions On Knee Model

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hello All Dear:

I have a model of the knee with its soft tissue between 2 femur and Tibia Bones, then I want to load 2 boundrical condition

s on it , 1- The 6-DOF's of Tibia and Femur Bones Center of Mass, (x,y,z,R1,R2,R3) time dependent. and 2-The

concentrated  load that is exerted on the cross section of the Tibia Shank (Lower Bone) Time Dependent. Then Dear, Can

anyone Help Me,Please how to Put these 2 kinds of Boundrical Conditions on the Model.

Kind Regards.

Hello All,

 

Actually I am analysing the FEM software FEAP, it is a free FEM software that can be downloaded from:

http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/projects/feap/feappv/

Anyone here knows if the software can run ONLY in cmd ?

I mean, I generate an input file I call the solver than the solver generates an output file without opneing any window in my desktop or in my cmd?

 Regards

Fernando Romagnoli

Hi,

Can anybody throw some light on the wear coupling characteristics between SS347 and 17-4 PH, as well as between Phosphor Bronze and 17-4 PH Steel?

It will be helpful if you could refer to some literature where I can learn about Wear Coupling Characteristics...

Thank You,
