• Title: FE simulations of thermo-mechanical behaviour of large-thin coated wafers (Si-metal) • Aim: To develop and simulate adequate FE models describing the thermo-mechanical behaviour of coated wafers under dead weight • Tools used: ANSYS Workbench, Mathematica • Keywords: Layered structures, anisotropy, contact formulations, nonlinear finite element analysis, stress and deflection calculations

• Title: FE simulations of thermo-mechanical behaviour of composite structures (Si-metal) using ANSYS Workbench • Aim: To develop FE models describing the mechanical and thermo-mechanical behaviour of Si-Composite (different combinations of materials and layer thicknesses), such as those used routinely in modern power semiconductors To develop analytical solution based upon large deflection theory to evaluate stress- curvature relationship for coated anisotropic wafers subjected to thermal loading
