Densification behavior of SiC powder was investigated under cold compaction. A special form of the Cap model was proposed from experimental data of SiC powder under triaxial compression. To compare with experimental data of SiC powder under cold compaction, the proposed constitutive model was implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS). Finite element calculations from the Cam-Clay model and the modified Drucker-Prager model were also compared with experimental data of SiC powder. The agreements between experimental data and finite element results obtained from the proposed constitutive model are reasonably good. In die pressing, finite element results obtained from the Cam-Clay model and the modified Drucker-Prager model, however, show lower average density of SiC powder compacts compared to experimental data.

In this paper, a numerical methodology for health monitoring of weldment was proposed using finite element method coupled with continuum damage mechanics. The welding-induced residual stress distribution of T-joint weldment was calculated using a commercial finite element package SYSWELD+. The distribution of latent damage was evaluated from the stress and strain components taken as the output of a finite element calculation. Numerical examples were given to demonstrate the usefulness of this so-called "post-processing approach" in the case of welding-induced damage assessment.

A finite element analysis for near-net-shape forming of Al6061 powder was performed under warm pressing. The advantages of warm compaction by rubber isostatic pressing were discussed to obtain parts with better density distributions. To simulate densification and deformed shape of a powder compact during warm pressing, the elastoplastic constitutive equation based on yield function of Shima-Oyane was implemented into a finite element program(ABAQUS). The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on the Ogden strain energy potential was employed to analyze nonlinear elastic response of rubber. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for Al6061 powder compacts under warm pressing.

The reliability concerns of solder interconnections in flip chip PBGA packages are produced mainly by the mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) between the module and PCB. Finite element analysis has been employed extensively to simulate thermal loading for solder joint reliability and deformation of packages in electronic packages. The objective of this paper is to study the thermo-mechanical behavior of FC-PBGA package assemblies subjected to temperature change, with an emphasis on the effect of the finite element model, material models and temperature conditions. Numerical results are compared with the experimental results by using $moir{\acute{e}}$ interferometry. Result shows that the bending displacements of the chip calculated by the finite element analysis with viscoplastic material model is in good agreement with those by $moir{\acute{e}}$ inteferometry.

This study focuses on development of a finite element model for analysis of thermal characteristics of a direct-connection spindle of a machining center by joint simulation of heat transfer and thermal deformation. Two finite element analyses were carried out procedurally for heat transfer, first, to identify temperature distribution of components of the spindle and then for thermal deformation to identify their structural behavior based on the temperature distribution. It was assumed that the heat transfer between a component revolving and the surrounding air is identical to that between a flat plate and the running air on it and the heat transfer is based on a uniform surface heat flux for turbulent flow. The results from the analyses were compared with those from experiments to validate the finite element model.

Effects of frictional laws on finite element solutions in metal forming were investigated in this paper. A rigid-viscoplastic finite element formulation was given with emphasis on the frictional laws. The Coulomb friction and the constant shear friction laws were compared through finite element analyses of compression of rings and cylinders with different aspect ratios, ring-gear forging, multi-stage cold extrusion and hot strip rolling under the isothermal condition. It has been shown that two laws may yield quite different results when the aspect ratio of a process and the fractional contact region are large.

The thermomechanical behaviors of the shape memory alloy were conducted through the finite element analysis of ABAQUS with UMAT user subroutine. The unified thermomechanical constitutive equation suggested by Lagoudas was adapted into the UMAT user subroutine to investigate the characteristics of the shape memory alloy. The three cases were solved to investigate the thermomechanical characteristics of the shape memory alloy. The material properties for the analysis were obtained by DSC and DMA techniques. According to the results, the thermomechanical characteristics, such as a shape memory effect and a pseudoelastic effect, could be obtained through the finite element analysis and the analysis results were revealed to agree well with the experimental results. Therefore, the finite element analysis using UMAT user subroutine is one of prominent analysis techniques to investigate the thermomechnical behaviors of the shape memory alloy quantitatively.

Given the tetrahedron-based octree approximation of a solid as described in part(I) of this thesis, in this part(II) a systematic procedure of 'boundary moving' is developed for the fully automatic generation of 3D finite element meshes. The algorithm moves some vertices of the octants near the boundary onto the exact surface of a solid without transforming the topology of octree leaf elements. As a result, the inner octree leaf elements can be used as exact tetrahedral finite element meshes. In addition, as a quality measure of a tetrahedral element, 'shape value' is propopsed and used for the generation of better finite elements during the boundary moving process.

Viscoplastic response and densification behaviors of Ti-6AI-4V powder compacts under uniaxial compression are studied at room and high temperatures with various initial relative densities and strain rates. The yield function and strain-hardening law proposed by Kim and co-workers were implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) to compare experimental data with finite element calculations for porous Ti6A14V powder compacts. Displacement-relative density, displacement-load relations and deformed geometry of Ti-A14V powder compacts were compared with finite element results. Density distributions in Ti-6AI-4V powder compacts were also measured and compared with finite element results.

An electromagnetic linear actuator is controlled precisely and securely and is useful in devices that require linear motion. The most commonly used method in the performance verification process for an electromagnetic actuator is finite element analysis that utilizes CAE. However, finite element analysis has the disadvantage that modeling and analysis consume a lot of time. Accordingly, lumped parameter analysis can be an alternative approach to the finite element method because of its computation iteration capability with fair accuracy. In this paper, the lumped parameter model and simulation results are presented. In addition, the results of the lumped parameter analysis are compared with those obtained from finite element analysis for verification.
