Effect Of Underfill Material & Gap Height On Reliability Of Low-K Large-Die Flip Chip Package Under Thermal Loading, Paul Crisanth Dec 2017

Effect Of Underfill Material & Gap Height On Reliability Of Low-K Large-Die Flip Chip Package Under Thermal Loading, Paul Crisanth

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

The reliability assessment of package assembly is important to predict the performance of any microelectronic devices. Formation of fatigue cracks at the interface between the solder joint and component is the common failure occurring in widely used microelectronic devices. Lead-free solders and advanced silicon process nodes with the low-k dielectrics flip chip package are used and are facing significant reliability challenges. The mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the chip and substrate affect solder joint reliability. The underfill encapsulant packaging is widely used to improve chip device reliability. In this paper, we are studying the effect of different …


A Design Methodology For Continuous Fiber Additive Manufacturing Using Advanced Computer Aided Engineering Techniques, Nicholas Venter Dec 2017

A Design Methodology For Continuous Fiber Additive Manufacturing Using Advanced Computer Aided Engineering Techniques, Nicholas Venter

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

A design methodology for Continuous Carbon Fiber Additive Manufacturing (CCFAM) developed using Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) techniques takes advantage of both the mechanical strength of composite materials and the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) method. By performing topology optimization and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on a load-bearing part, engineers can design much lighter optimized parts that are just as strong as those produced using FFF. This weight reduction is achieved by relying on the mechanical strength of continuous carbon fibers printed alongside a traditional thermoplastic matrix. The FFF additive manufacturing method enables the production of complex shapes, which can match the …


Comparison Of Mechanical Behaviour Of Metallic And Composite Front Door Of A Standard Automobile Car By Fea, Aniket Chandu Thosar May 2017

Comparison Of Mechanical Behaviour Of Metallic And Composite Front Door Of A Standard Automobile Car By Fea, Aniket Chandu Thosar

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

With the advent of technology, materials have advanced many folds; one such technical revelation has been Fiber-reinforced Composite Materials. Composite materials have two major advantages, among many others: improved strength and stiffness, especially compared to other materials on a unit weight basis and low density with ease of manufacturing. These advantages have led to new aeronautical, automobile and marine designs that are radical departures from past efforts based on conventional materials. This paper focusses on a comparative study between Aluminum Alloys, Manganese alloys, structural steel, Composite materials and investigates the static and dynamic behaviors for a composite front door of …
