ABSTRACTLow resistance ohmic contacts for silicon devices commonly incorporate silicide materials as part of the contact. The electrical characterisation of ohmic contacts requires the use of various test structures such as the Cross Kelvin Resistor in order to determine the specific contact resistance ρc. This paper describes the results of using a three-dimensional finite element model of a Kelvin Resistor test structure in order to determine the influence of the electrical and geometrical parameters of a silicide-well on the magnitude of ρc. The same model of the test structure is further used to model the current density in the contact region. The results indicate that the presence of a silicide-well leads to reduced values of both ρc and the current density.

Abstract Fatigue due to cyclic stresses is one of the predominant failure modes seen in retrieved tibial polyethylene components. There is no clear understanding of the influence of knee kinematics on wear seen in retrieved samples. Magnitude, direction and location of the contact load at the tibial surface were taken from the measurement obtained from gait analysis of a patient with a total knee replacement and was input into a three dimensional finite element model of a tibial component. The analyses showed that stress fluctuations and stress reversals occur both on the surface and just below the surface in the posterior region of the component. Residual stresses were produced due to plastic deformation in the posterior contact region of the component.

A fluid dynamics model of electrolyte in mircroflow inspired by hemodynamic model of aortic is proposed and applied in the self-noise analysis of four-electrode microflow-electrochemical accelerometer. Three-dimensional finite element model is established and invested through numerical simulation, the variety of geometrical parameters on different location of electrode and varied time are considered, which can affect the microflow-electrochemical accelerometers self-noise. The result of numerical simulation indicates that, self-noise is related to electrode configuration as well as electrode geometrical parameters. In particular, convection-induced self-noise is correlated to variety of viscosity, and thermohydrodynamic self-noise is correlated to variety of diameter. Such a fluid dynamics model of electrolyte inspired by thermodynamics model can be also used for optimization of the self-noise.

The elastic properties of single-walled carbon nanotube heterojunctions were investigated using conventional tensile, bending and torsion tests. A three-dimensional finite element model was built in order to describe the elastic behaviour of cone heterojunctions (armchair–armchair and zigzag–zigzag). This comprehensive systematic study, to evaluate the tensile, bending and torsional rigidities of heterojunctions, enabled the formulation analytical methods for easy assessment of the elastic properties of heterojunctions using a wide range of their geometrical parameters.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

The steel assembled support structure of a foundation pit can be assembled easily with high strength and recycling value. Steel’s performance is significantly affected by the surrounding temperature due to its temperature sensitivity. Here, a full-scale experiment was conducted to study the influence of temperature on the internal force and deformation of supporting structures, and a three-dimensional finite element model was established for comparative analysis. The test results showed that under the temperature effect, the deformation of the central retaining pile was composed of rigid rotation and flexural deformation, while the adjacent pile of central retaining pile only experienced flexural deformation. The stress on the retaining pile crown changed little, while more stress accumulated at the bottom. Compared with the crown beam and waist beam 2, the stress on waist beam 1 was significantly affected by the temperature and increased by about 0.70 MPa/°C. Meanwhile, the stress of the rigid panel was greatly affected by the temperature, increasing 78% and 82% when the temperature increased by 15 °C on rigid panel 1 and rigid panel 2, respectively. The comparative simulation results indicated that the bending moment and shear strength of pile 1 were markedly affected by the temperature, but pile 2 and pile 3 were basically stable. Lastly, as the temperature varied, waist beam 2 had the largest change in the deflection, followed by waist beam 1; the crown beam experienced the smallest change in the deflection.

A three-dimensional finite element model was developed to predict the temperature distribution and phase transformation in deposited stainless steel 410 (SS410) during the Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS™) rapid fabrication process. The development of the model was carried out using the SYSWELD software package. The model calculates the evolution of temperature in the part during the fabrication of a SS410 plate. The metallurgical transformations are taken into account using the temperature-dependent material properties and the continuous cooling transformation diagram. The ferritic and martensitic transformation as well as austenitization and tempering of martensite are considered. The influence of processing parameters such as laser power and traverse speed on the phase transformation and the consequent hardness are analyzed. The potential presence of porosity due to lack of fusion is also discussed. The results show that the temperature distribution, the microstructure, and hardness in the final part depend significantly on the processing parameters.
