ABSTRACT In this work, a packaging laminate consisting of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), Al-foil (Aluminum foil) is focused, and failure due to necking in substrates and interfacial delamination under loading are considered. A coupled elasto-plasticity damage and fracture constitutive model is combined. The proposed constitutive model is incorporated into the FEM code ABAQUS and utilized […]

Value-driven product service systems development: Methods and industrial applications

1st November 2016
No Comment

ABSTRACT In recent times a service-dominant logic is permeating the design of complex systems. However, in spite of their appeal, initiatives such as Product Service Systems (PSS) have not become mainstream, and methods are lacking to support this transition. This paper argues that methodological guidance, as well as tools for decision support, may be found […]

Fatigue Life Prediction for PBGA under Random Vibration Using Updated Finite Element Models

6th October 2016
No Comment

ABSTRACT A procedure based on finite element (FE) modeling, response surface-based model updating and random vibration analysis is presented to predict the fatigue life of plastic ball grid array (PBGA) components mounted on daisy chain printed circuit board (PCB). A specially designed fixture is used to mimic the typical boundary condition of plug-in PCBs. The […]
