Thermal modeling of Inconel 718 processed with powder bed fusion and experimental validation using in situ measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a model for predicting the thermal response of Inconel ® 718 during laser powder-bed fusion processing (LPBF) is developed, which includes the pre-placed powder layer in the analysis by initially assigning powder properties to the top layer of elements before restoring the solid properties as the heat source traverses the layer.

Failure-Envelope Approach to Modeling Shock and Vibration Survivability of Electronic and MEMS Packaging

TL;DR: In this paper, a failure-envelope approach based on wavelet transforms and damage proxies has been developed to model drop and shock survivability of electronic packaging data on damage progression under transient-shock and vibration in both 955Sn40Ag05Cu and 63Sn37Pb ball-grid arrays has been presented Component types examined include flex-substrate and rigid substrate ballgrid arrays Dynamic measurements like acceleration, strain and resistance are measured and analyzed using highspeed data acquisition system capable of capturing in-situ strain, continuity and acceleration data in excess of 5 million samples per

Numerical simulation of laser-generated ultrasound by the finite element method

TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained from the finite element model of laser-generated ultrasound are presented in terms of temperature and displacement, and the numerical results demonstrate that the surface vibration is mainly determined by the lower frequency components of the symmetric mode s0 and antisymmetric mode a0 of the lowest order in very thin plate materials.
