Based on finite element analysis, the structural stress of 8×8 InSb Infrared Focal Plane Array integrating with microlens arrays dependent on indium bump sizes is systemically researched. Simulation results show that as the diameters of indium bump increase from 16μm to 38μm in step of 2μm, the maximum stress existing in InSb chip first reduces, then increases, and reaches minimum with indium bump diameter 32μm. Yet the maximum stress in the indium bump array is almost unchangeable and keeps at 16.5MPa. The maximum stress in Si readout integrated circuit almost half stress in InSb chip. Besides, the stress appearing on those regions situating just on microlens array is much smaller than its surrounding regions, and the stress distribution is uniform at contacting areas between InSb chip and indium bump.

Based on viscoplastic Anand’s model, the structural stress of 8×8 InSb infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) detector is systemically analyzed by finite element method, and the impacts of design parameters including indium bump diameters, heights and InSb chip thicknesses on both von Mises stress and its distribution are discussed in this manuscript. Simulation results show that as the diameters of indium bump decreases from 36 μm to 24 μm in step of 2 μm, the maximum stress existing in InSb chip reduces first, increases then linearly with reduced indium bump diameters, and reaches minimum with indium bump diameter 30 μm, the stress distribution at the contacts areas is uniform and concentrated. Furthermore, the varied tendency has nothing to do with indium bump standoff height. With indium bump diameter 30 μm, as the thickness of InSb chip reduces from 21 μm to 9 μm in step of 3 μm, the varying tendency of the maximum stress value in InSb chip is just like the letter U, as the indium bump thickness decreases also from 21 μm to 6 μm in step of 3 μm, the maximum stress in 8×8 InSb IRPFA decreases from 260 MPa to 102 MPa, which is the smallest von Mises stress value obtained with the indium diameter 30 μm, thickness 9 μm and InSb thickness 12 μm.

Two-step method is used to research stress and its distribution in 64×64 InSb infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) employing finite element method. First, a small 8×8 InSb IRFPA is studied by changing indium bump diameters from 24μm to 36μm, with indium bump thickness 20μm and InSb thickness 10μm, the simulated results show that von Mises stress in InSb chip is dependent on indium bump diameters, the varying tendency is just like the letter V, here when indium bump diameters is set to 30μm, the smallest von Mises stress is achieved and its distribution in InSb chip is uniform at contacting areas. Then, InSb IRFPA array scale is doubled once again from 8×8 to 64×64 to learn the effect from array size, thus, the stress and its distribution of 64×64 InSb IRFPA is obtained in a short time. Simulation results show that von Mises stress maximum in InSb chip and Si readout integrated circuit almost do not increases with array scale, and the largest von Mises stress is located in InSb chips. Besides, stress distribution on the bottom surface of InSb chip is radiating, and decreases from core to four corners, and stress value at contacting area is smaller than those on its surrounding areas, contrary to stress distribution on top surface of InSb chip.

Based on viscoplastic Anand’s model, the structural stress of 8×8 InSb infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) detector is systemically analyzed by finite element method, and the impacts of design parameters including indium bump diameters, heights and InSb chip thicknesses on both Von Mises stress and its distribution are discussed in this manuscript. Simulation results show that the maximum stress existing in InSb chip reaches minimum with indium bump diameter 32μm. Under this condition, for the fixed indium height, as the InSb chip thickness reduces from 21µm to 9µm in step of 3µm, Von Mises stress maximum values of InSb chip seems increases gradually, and when the indium bump height reduces from 21µm to 9µm in step of 3µm, its maximum Von Mises stress increase at random increment, do not show certain rules, and indium bump height seems to have a comparable effect on stress value with InSb chip thickness. When indium diameter, height and InSb chip thickness are set to 32µm, 15µm, and 12µm, respectively, the maximal Von Mises value existing in InSb chip reaches minimal value 628MPa, simultaneously the stress distribution at the contacts areas is uniform and concentrated, and this structure is promising to avoid device invalidation.

The thermal stress and strain, from the thermal mismatch of neighboring materials, are the major causes of fracture in InSb IRFPA. Basing on viscoelastic model describing underfill, the structural stress of 16×16 InSb IRFPA under thermal shock is studied with finite element method. Simulation results show that as the diameters of indium bump increase from 20μm to 36μm in step of 2μm, the maximum stress existing in InSb chip first increases slightly, and fluctuates near 28µm, then decreases gradually. Furthermore, the varied tendency seems to have nothing to do with indium bump standoff height, and with thicker indium bump height, the maximal Von Mises stress in InSb chip is smaller. All these mean that the thicker underfill is in favor of reducing the stress in InSb chip and improving the final yield.

The study obtains a methodology for the bionic design of the tower for wind turbines. To verify the rationality of the biological selection, the Analytic Hierarchy Procedure (AHP) is applied to calculate the similarity between the bamboo and the tower. Creatively, a bionic bamboo tower (BBT) is presented, which is equipped with four reinforcement ribs and five flanges. Further, finite element analysis is employed to comparatively investigate the performance of the BBT and the original tower (OT) in the static and dynamic. Through the investigation, it is suggested that the maximum deformation and maximum stress can be reduced by 5.93 and 13.75% of the BBT. Moreover, this approach results in 3% and 1.1% increase respectively in the First two natural frequencies and overall stability.

The elastic thermal stresses in a welded transition between two pipes of the same size but different alloys are explored. A stress-free temperature is postulated and the stress due to a uniform change in temperature is characterized by the maximum stress intensity in the weld. A simple expression for predicting this maximum stress intensity is developed based on the results of finite element analysis.

In this study, the total algorithm of the strength-based design of the system for mass production has been developed. The proposed algorithm, which includes numerical, analytical, and experimental studies, was implemented through a case study on the strength-based structural design and fatigue analysis of a tractor-mounted sunflower stalk cutting machine (SSCM). The proposed algorithm consists of a systematic engineering approach, material selection and testing, design of the mass criteria suitability, structural stress analysis, computer-aided engineering (CAE), prototype production, experimental validation studies, fatigue calculation based on an FE model and experimental studies (CAE-based fatigue analysis), and an optimization process aimed at minimum weight. Approximately 85% of the system was designed using standard commercially available cross-section beams and elements using the proposed algorithm. The prototype was produced, and an HBM data acquisition system was used to collect the strain gage output. The prototype produced was successful in terms of functionality. Two- and three-dimensional mixed models were used in the structural analysis solution. The structural stress analysis and experimental results with a strain gage were 94.48% compatible in this study. It was determined using nCode DesignLife software that fatigue damage did not occur in the system using the finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental data. The SSCM design adopted a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) methodology for optimization with ANSYS. With the optimization solved from 422 iterations, a maximum stress value of 57.65 MPa was determined, and a 97.72 kg material was saved compared to the prototype. This study provides a useful methodology for experimental and advanced CAE techniques, especially for further study on complex stress, strain, and fatigue analysis of new systematic designs desired to have an optimum weight to strength ratio.
