Vibration characteristic of a sandwiched beam type structure is analyzed using the finite element method based on a higher order model for displacement field in the core layer of the structure. Results of the higher order and linear models were compared with those of experimental ones reported in literature and shown that higher order model provides more accurate results than the linear model. The parametric studies for the developed model are presented to indicate the effect of the core thickness on the loss factor and the natural frequencies, and the results are compared with those obtained for the linear model. Finally, using the higher order model, an optimization problem is formulated to find the optimal distribution and the number of partial treatments in order to achieve highest damping value in the sandwiched beam with various boundary conditions.

AbstractA free standing cantilever beam consisting of a support structural material (polysilicon/silicon nitride), a piezoelectric PZT ceramic layer, and metal electrode layers has been analyzed. Beam theory and finite element analysis were used to model the electric field induced deflections of this structure, and provided information as to how material choices influenced actuator function. Both support material and PZT thicknesses varied from 0-1.0 gim, and bulk piezoelectric coefficients and elastic moduli were assumed. The beam theory uses known (or assumed) material properties to predict actuator responses. Conversely, if device responses can be measured, material properties may be inferred from the theory. For a PZT thickness of 0.3 μm, a core layer thickness of 0.13 μm was found to maximize displacement. Also, the force output was found to be more dependent on the core thickness than that of the PZT. This information can then be used to predict the response of a more complex microactuator.

In this study, epoxy molded multi chip package was investigated and a highly reliable structure against failure of copper trace on PCB substrate was proposed. Function failure caused by the pattern crack during component level thermal cycle test was considered. In-plane and out-of-plane movements of package during thermal loading were measured by moiré interferometry and shadow moiré. Measured data were compared with numerical analysis results. Two dimensional and three dimensional numerical analysis were performed considering visco-elastic material properties. Tensile stress in the core layer was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysis showed that the reliability of pattern crack could be improved by decreasing the chip thickness and increasing the core thickness, and that the material property of die adhesive was important.

The pressure hull is the primary element of submarine, which withstands diving pressure and provides essential capacity for electronic systems and buoyancy. This study presents a numerical analysis and design optimization of sandwich composite deep submarine pressure hull using finite element modeling technique. This study aims to minimize buoyancy factor and maximize deck area and buckling strength factors. The collapse depth is taken as a base in the pressure hull design. The pressure hull has been analyzed using two composite materials, T700/Epoxy and B(4)5505/Epoxy, to form the upper and lower faces of the sandwich composite deep submarine pressure hull. The laminated control surface is optimized for the first ply failure index (FI) considering both Tsai–Wu and maximum stress failure criteria. The results obtained emphasize an important fact that the presence of core layer in sandwich composite pressure hull is not always more efficient. The use of sandwich in the design of composite deep submarine pressure hull at extreme depths is not a safe option. Additionally, the core thickness plays a minor role in the design of composite deep submarine pressure hull. The outcome of an optimization at extreme depths illustrates that the upper and lower faces become thicker and the core thickness becomes thinner. However, at shallow-to-moderate depths, it is recommended to use sandwich composite with a thick core to resist the shell buckling of composite submarine pressure hull.

Non-synchronous vibrations arising near the stall boundary of compressors are a recurring and potentially safety-critical problem in modern aero-engines. Recent numerical and experimental investigations have shown that these vibrations are caused by the lock-in of circumferentially convected aerodynamic disturbances and structural vibration modes, and that it is possible to predict unstable vibration modes using coupled linear models. This paper aims to further investigate non-synchronous vibrations by casting a reduced model for NSV in the frequency domain and analysing stability for a range of parameters. It is shown how, and why, under certain conditions linear models are able to capture a phenomenon, which has traditionally been associated with aerodynamic non-linearities. The formulation clearly highlights the differences between convective non-synchronous vibrations and flutter and identifies the modifications necessary to make quantitative predictions.
