Optimization based on electro-thermo-mechanical modeling of the high electron mobility transistor (HEMT)

Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Finite Element Modeling to Investigate the Reliability of Automotive MOSFET Transistor

Even under normal operating conditions, power devices are subject to temperature changes that generate high level of stress repeatedly causes mechanical breakdown. In this context thermomechanical simulations are necessary to predict life time and guarantee a longer lifespan. This paper aims to modeling electro-thermo-mechanical behavior of a vertical power transistor for predicting the influen...

Modeling Thermo-electro-mechanical Beams in Sugar

INTRODUCTION Qconv SUGAR is a simulation package for 3D MEMS devices that utilizes nodal analysis techniques [1]. It has been shown that nodal analysis is significantly faster than other simulation techniques and can be just as accurate. The latest version of SUGAR (v2.0) includes various models for 2D and 3D beams, electrical beams, and gap closing actuators [2]. In addition, SUGAR is easily e...

Thermo-Electro Mechanical Impedance based Structural Health Monitoring: Euler- Bernoulli Beam Modeling

In recent years, impedance measurement method by piezoelectric (PZT) wafer activesensor (PWAS) has been widely adopted for non-destructive evaluation (NDE). In this method, theelectrical impedance of a bonded PWAS is used to detect a structural defect. The electro-mechanicalcoupling of PZT materials constructs the original principle of this method. Accordingly, the electricalimpedance of PWAS c...
