Traditional silicon-based micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) safety and arming devices, such as electro-thermal and electrostatically driven MEMS safety and arming devices, experience problems of high insecurity and require high voltage drive. For the current electromagnetic drive mode, the electromagnetic drive device is too large to be integrated. In order to address this problem, we present a new micro electromagnetically driven MEMS safety and arming device, in which the electromagnetic coil is small in size, with a large electromagnetic force. We firstly designed and calculated the geometric structure of the electromagnetic coil, and analyzed the model using COMSOL multiphysics field simulation software. The resulting error between the theoretical calculation and the simulation of the mechanical and electrical properties of the electromagnetic coil was less than 2% under the same size. We then carried out a parametric simulation of the electromagnetic coil, and combined it with the actual processing capacity to obtain the optimized structure of the electromagnetic coil. Finally, the electromagnetic coil was processed by deep silicon etching and the MEMS casting process. The actual electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic coil was measured on a micro-mechanical test system, compared with the simulation, and the comparison results were analyzed.

Casting integrity is essential for providing components that meet design criteria for strength and fatigue performance. As the leading method of manufacturing metal components in the rail industry, maintaining quality and consistency is a continuing struggle for car owners and builders. Internal shrinkage and voids due to insufficient metal flow are issues commonly found in casting molds which are not designed or utilized properly. Using casting simulation software, potential issues can be discovered upfront and robust mold designs can be created that offer a tolerance for the variance or variations in casting conditions that are present in the real world. Strato, Inc. has extensively studied the effectiveness of these simulations in foundries through advanced inspection techniques. It is evident that casting simulations can not only locate, but also explain shrinkage cavities and voids through material density plots and inspection of directional solidification via critical fraction solid time plots. This approach is markedly more efficient than the traditional trial and error method, where mold makers rely on experience and destructive testing to develop acceptable mold designs. With recent advances in simulation software, the labor and time-intensive ways of the past have been supplanted by a more scientific approach to the problem. Understanding the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of the casting process provides a means of creating a stable, repeatable final product. This higher quality final product can be delivered faster to the customer and at a far less expense by identifying problem areas prior to the tooling and sampling processes. Case-studies explored by the Strato engineering team suggest that using this software decreases the fallout rate.

Rotary Kiln  machine  is used in fertilizer plant which is function to mix the fertilizer ingredients. Part of the Rotary Kiln is support by using a roller. Support roller is made of 20MnCr6 material, AISI 5120 (0.18% C) with casting process. Normalizing phase on casting processes is using to increase strength of the material The objectives of the normalizes process is to eliminate residual stresses, softening, increasing toughness, homogenization of micro structures and to ease machining processes. The effect of normalizing can be measured by using  mechanical test, ie tensile test, hardness test and microstructure analysis. Test specimens were made the same material with normalizing and without normalizing process. Normalizing process temperature at 900oC heating for 150 minutes with air cooling for 7 hours. The results has shown that normalizing material has lowest tensile strength of 41.05 kgf/mm2 is compared to 42.16 kgf/mm2. However, the ductile fracture is higher 41.2% is compared to 29.52%, the microstructure formed uniformly evenly compared without normalizing. The softening process also makes the roller support rotate due to rubbing with riding ring.

AbstractThe very large development of home and domestic electronic appliances as well as portable device has led the microelectronics industry to evolve in two complimentary directions : “More Moore” with the continuous race towards extremely small dimensions hence the development of SoCs (System on Chip) and more recently a new direction that we could name “More than Moore” with the integration of devices that were laying outside the chips and here the creation of SiPs (System in Package).These two approaches are not in competition one with the other: the paper will show some examples of integrated nano systems that use several SoCs.The technology we have developed is called Silicon Based System in Package. The first products using this technology are now in volume production and used mainly in the field of wireless communications.This new technology relies on four pillars. Passive integration is the first. Very efficient and high quality factor capacitors and inductors have been integrated, allowing the creation of complete modules including active devices, filters and decoupling capacitors. High-density MOS capacitors with 1-1000 nF capacitance, and as high values as 25-250+ nF/mm2 specific capacitance have been fabricated in macroporous Si-wafers, containing over 1 billion macropores. Typically an ESR less than 100 mÙ and an ESL less than 25 pH were found for capacitors over 10 nF. This novel concept is an important step forward in improving the stability of power-amplifier modules by replacing conventional SMD technology.Whereas generations with capacitors density of up to 100 nF/mm2 will be using “conventional” materials and structures, the next steps in the roadmap will call for new 3D structures and materials such as high-k dielectrics.The second element is advanced packaging. New technologies, such as the assembly of Silicon chips onto other Silicon chips, also named “double flip chip” have been developed. This has been made possible thanks to the combination of the most advanced microbumping and die placement techniques. In addition to a tremendous reduction of size (up to a factor of 10 to 20) these techniques have also brought a better repeatability of system performance.The third element has been the development of design tools that allow a seamless system design for engineers used to IC design tools and flows. Our Design Environment allows co design of multiple technologies chips and their integration in a single system. This IC-like Design Environment has contributed a lot to the adoption of the technology.Testing is the fourth element and is one of the economical enablers of the technology. The key words are: “known good die”, RF test, system test? Some innovative RF probing and full on wafer subsystem test will be shown. Even though efficient test is not vital for the technical feasibility of this system integration, it becomes very quickly one of the most important enablers, especially when we deal with very high volumes of production. The conclusion of the paper will be an open door to the future. Some innovations like the integration of light or even energy storage inside our SiPs will be presented.

AbstractFusion zone microstructures of an electron beam (EB) welded XDt m Ti–48at%Al + 6.5 vol% TiB2 alloy revealed plate-like precipitates which were absent in the base metal. The volume fraction of this phase increased with increasing cooling rate and correlated with increased weld cracking frequency. To determine whether this phase was a product of solidification from the melt or a product of a solid-state transformation, the microstructures of the welds were compared to those of samples cycled in a Gleeble 1500/20 Thermal-Mechanical Test System which was programmed to simulate the solid-state portion of the weld cooling rates (as predicted by a Rosenthal analysis). The microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical and by scanning electron microscopy. The plate-like phase found in the weld microstructures was identified as TiB2 occurring upon rapid solidification of the melted weld metal.

Heavy-equipment airdrops are mainly used to deliver relief supplies and heavy weapons. Given the heavy weight of the goods, the tension of the extraction and brake ropes of the parachute significantly affects the safety of the aircraft. On the basis of the measurement and installation characteristics of the parachute rope, this study designed the structure of a nondestructive pressure-type parachute rope tension sensor and set the location of the strain gauge patch using the ANSYS simulation software to obtain a high sensor sensitivity. The temperature error of the tension sensor is compensated, and the precision is improved using the LSSVM-PSO (Least Squares Support Vector Machine-Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm. The developed tension sensor is applied to the extraction parachute test system to measure the traction of 2 and 8 m2 parachutes. Test results show that the maximum weight of the platform these two parachutes can draw and the effect of parachute opening can be calculated.

The use of bulk effective masses in simulations of the modern-day ultra-scaled transistor is erroneous due to the strong dependence of the band structure on the cross-section dimensions and shape. This has to be accounted for in transport simulations due to the significant impact of the effective masses on quantum confinement effects and mobility. In this article, we present a methodology for the extraction of the electron effective masses, in both confinement and the transport directions, from the simulated electronic band structure of the nanowire channel. This methodology has been implemented in our in-house three-dimensional (3D) simulation engine, NESS (Nano-Electronic Simulation Software). We provide comprehensive data for the effective masses of the silicon-based nanowire transistors (NWTs) with technologically relevant cross-sectional area and transport orientations. We demonstrate the importance of the correct effective masses by showing its impact on mobility and transfer characteristics.

Although rate-change experiments are essential for characterizing rate-dependent flow, certain nonobvious aspects of test machine dynamic response and control system strategies can distort rate-change data. These distortions are large enough to cause rate-change experiments to characterize the test system dynamic response instead of the test material’s rate dependence. We demonstrate that both relaxation and strain rate change experiments exhibit this potential distortion of test data. Investigators performing these experiments must therefore examine control error carefully to assure that the experiments are valid. We demonstrate that the standard PID control modes normally used in servocontrolled mechanical test equipment will generate error. Either P or PD control modes are more appropriate for rate-change experiments.
