Example3 Deformation due to the Temperature Gradient #3 – Multiple Materials

General

  • A heating chip is mounted on a substrate. The temperature gradient caused by the heating chip is calculated by thermal analysis [Watt]. This is the same as Exercise 10 of thermal analysis.
    Then, the deformation due to the temperature gradient is solved by Galileo (mechanical stress analysis).
     

  • The temperature gradient caused by the heating chip is calculated by Watt
    The result is forwarded to Galileo as a thermal load.
     

  • The deformation, the displacement and the mechanical stress are solved.
     

  • Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

Heat Transfer/Ambient Radiation

Natural convection*: 1.39[W/m2/deg5/4]

Room Temperature : 25[deg]

 

* The coefficient for the natural convection is calculated as follows. See [Heat Transfer/Ambient Radiation] for more information.

 

2.51×C×(1/L)^(1/4) = 1.39 [W/m2/deg5/4]

where

C = 0.26

Size of the substrate : 0.06×0.04

L (Typical Length) = (0.06 x 0.04 x 2) / (0.06 + 0.04) = 0.048

Results

The temperature distribution as a result of Watt is shown below.

 

The next figure shows the vectors of displacement as a result of Galileo following Watt.

The substrate corners which shows the low temperature are bent downward.
