Numerical Simulations of Residual Stresses and Their Effects on Electronic Properties in Quantum Dots

Vlahovic B., Suslov V., Wang K., North Carolina Central University, US

A finite element method has been utilized to simulate the residual stress distributions in the quantum dots. Both lattice mismatch and thermal expansion effects are included. Our calculation indicates that the residual stresses concentrate at [...]

A Modeling Approach based on Laminated Plate Theory to Design Microbeams

Mantell S.C., Longmire E., Wolters D., University of Minnesota, US

MEMs microbeams consist of many thin material layers. This thin layered structure is very similar to that of laminated composite plates in which thin layers of fiber reinforced plastic are stacked and cured. Both the [...]
