The thermomechanical behaviors of SMA thin film actuator and their application are investigated. The numerical algorithm of the 2-D SMA thermomechanical constitutive equation is developed and implemented into the ABAQUS finite element program by using the user defined material (UMAT) subroutine. To verify the numerical algorithm of SMAs, the results are compared with experimental data. For the application of SMA thin film actuator, the methodology to maintain the precise configuration of inflatable membrane structure is demonstrated.

최근 새롭게 보급되는 휴대기기(스마트폰, 울트라북, 태블릿 PC)로 인하여 고용량과 빠른 속도를 원하는 소비자가 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 Flash Memory의 수요도 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. Flash Memory는 NAND형과 NOR형으로 구분되어 있다. NAND형 Flash Memory는 NOR형 Flash Memory에 비해 속도는 느리지만 가격이 저렴하다. 그렇기 때문에 NAND형 Flash Memory는 Mobile 시장에서 많이 사용되어지고 있다. 그래서 Flash Memory Test를 위한 Fault 검출은 메우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 Fault 검출 향상을 위한 NAND형 Flash Memory의 Pattern Test를 위한 PMBIST를 제안한다.

Mutually-actuated-nano-electromechanical (MA-NEM) memory switches are proposed for scalability improvement. While conventional NEM memory switches have fixed electrode lines, the proposed MA-NEM memory switches have mutually-actuated cantilever-like electrode lines. Thus, MA-NEM memory switches show smaller deformations of beams in switching. This unique feature of MA-NEM memory switches allows aggressive reduction of the beam length while maintaining nonvolatile property. Also, the scalability of MA-NEM memory switches is confirmed by using finite-element (FE) simulations. MA-NEM memory switches can be promising solutions for reconfigurable logic (RL) circuits.

We consider the interface between the parallel distributed memory multifrontal solver and the finite element method. We give in detail the requirement and the data structure of parallel FEM interface which includes the element data and the node array. The full procedures of solving a large scale structural problem are assumed to have pre-post processors, of which algorithm is not considered in this paper. The main advantage of implementing the parallel FEM interface is shown up in the case that we use a distributed memory system with a large number of processors to solve a very large scale problem. The memory efficiency and the performance effect are examined by analyzing some examples on the Pegasus cluster system.

Shape memory alloys (SMA) have interesting features which are the superelastic effect (SE), shape memory effect (SME), two-way SME (TWSME), and so on. These are utilized in actuation factor. The thermo-mechanical constitutive equations of SMA proposed by Lagoudas et al. were employed in the present study for simulating SMA truss structures. The constitutive equation includes the necessary internal variables to account for the material transformations and is utilized in the non-linear finite element procedure of three dimensional truss structures that composed SMA bar (wholly or partially). In this study, we observed which element should be actuated to get a desired shape (actuation shape) from computational analysis. To reach this goal, we apply SMA constitutive equation to non-linear finite element formulation. And then, we simulate two-way shape memory effect as well as superelastic effect of various three dimensional truss using SMA.

Vibration analysis of Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) packages mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) subjected to harmonic excitation is performed by using finite element method (FEM). A finite element model of a memory module is composed of three main parts, packages, simplified solder balls and bare PCB. At first, natural frequencies and mode shapes of the developed model were confirmed experimentally. Secondly, the harmonic excitation experiment for the module was carried out at the first natural frequency of the memory module, and it was verified with the simulation by using mode superposition method at a constant acceleration.

In this paper a systematic numerical analysis is performed to obtain the energy dissipation and re-centering capacities of diagonal steel braced frames subjected to cyclic loading. This diagonal steel bracing systems are fabricated with super-elastic SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) braces in order to develop a recentering seismic resistance system without residual deformation. The three-dimensional nonlinear finite element models are constructed to investigate the horizontal stiffness, drifts and failure modes of the re-centering bracing systems.

The potential use of Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMA) in retrofitting historical monuments is investigated in this paper. This study is part of the ongoing work conducted in Tunisia within the framework of the FP6 European Union project (WIND-CHIME) on the use of appropriate modern seismic protective systems in the conservation of Mediterranean historical buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The present investigation consists of a finite element simulation, as a preliminary to an experimental study where a cantilever masonry wall, representing a part of a historical monument, is subjected to monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings around a horizontal axis at the base level. The wall was retrofitted with an array of copper SMA wires with different cross-sectional areas. A new model is proposed for heat-treated copper SMAs and is validated based on published experimental results. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses are then performed on the wall for the purpose of assessing the SMA device retrofitting capabilities. Simulation results show an improvement of the wall response for the case of monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings.
