Analysis of interfacial delamination for multichip module thin-film interconnects (MCM/TFI) is the primary objective of this paper. An interface crack model is integrated with finite-element analysis to allow for accurate numerical evaluation of the magnitude and phase angle of the complex stress intensity factor. Under the assumption of quasi-static delamination growth, the fate of an interfacial delamination after inception of propagation is determined. It is established that whether an interfacial delamination will continue to grow or become arrested depends on the functional behavior of the energy release rate and loading phase angle over the history of delamination growth. This functional behavior is numerically obtained for a typical MCM/TFI structure with delamination along die and via base, subjected to thermal loading condition. The effect of delamination interactions on the structural reliability is also investigated. It is observed that the delamination along via wall and polymer thin film can provide a benevolent mechanism to relieve thermal constraints, leading to via stress relaxation.

The fiber reinforced polymer laminates have found extensive applications because of its advantages over other materials in terms of strength to weight ratio, manufacturing flexibility and so on. But in the transverse direction, strength is comparatively less so that a failure mechanism called delamination will occur in case of poor manufacturing or when tools are dropped. In this paper, Surface based Cohesive contact behavior is implemented at the interface between base and sub laminate to investigate for 60mm through the width buckling driven delamination growth. The computational prediction of delamination growth initiation is obtained by solving a HTA/6376C composite laminate specimen for geometric non linearity using SC8R continuum shell elements of Abaqus CAE and by plotting the inplane loads versus out of plane displacements.

Fibre-reinforced composite structures subjected to complex loads exhibit gradual damage behaviour with the degradation of the effective mechanical properties and changes in their structural dynamic behaviour. Damage manifests itself as a spatial increase in inter-fibre failure and delamination growth, resulting in local changes in stiffness. These changes affect not only the residual strength but, more importantly, the structural dynamic behaviour. In the case of composite rotors, this can lead to catastrophic failure if an eigenfrequency coincides with the rotational speed. The description and analysis of the gradual damage behaviour of composite rotors, therefore, provide the fundamentals for a better understanding of unpredicted structural phenomena. The gradual damage behaviour of the example composite rotors and the resulting damage-dependent dynamic behaviour were experimentally investigated under propagating damage caused by a combination of out-of-plane and in-plane loads. A novel observation is the finding that a monotonic increase in damage results in a non-monotonic frequency shift of a significant number of eigenfrequencies.
