Abstract

The effects of thermoelastic residual stresses on multilevelstructures was determined by finite element calculation. A design of experiment approach was used, with five geometrical parameters. The results are presented in the form of stress contours, shown as functions of pairs of parameters, with the other parameters held constant. This analysis shows the relative sensitivities to the different parameters with respect to potential damage and failure. Comparison of the results with previous observations of microstructures seems to validate this experimental design approach.
