TL;DR: In this paper, the building blocks of a MEMS tensile testing platform are presented, which include a thermo-mechanical MEMS actuator, driven by an aluminum thin-film heater on a thermal oxide for electrical insulation, a capacitative displacement sensor and a piezoresistive force sensor, capable of measuring forces on a nano-newton scale.

TL;DR: In this article, a stress sensing system has been developed by the publicly funded project that allows measuring the magnitudes and the distribution of the stresses induced in the silicon dies by thermomechanical loads.

TL;DR: In this article, a nanoscopic simulation for an acceleration sensor is aimed based on the piezoresistive effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and a compact model is built from density functional theory (DFT), compared with results of molecular dynamics (MD) that describes the mechanics of CNTs in a parameterized way.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for the construction of 3D networked epoxy molding compounds and an estimation of basic thermodynamic properties by molecular dynamics simulations and present a first property analysis of an industry near molding compound material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal transducer matrix of thermal pixels is used for in-situ monitoring of delamination of interfaces for electronic packages, where the transducers are small metal wire meanders driven and electrically read out using the well-known 3-omega method.
