ABSTRACT

Analytical and numerical simulations are carried out in order to identify physical parameters affecting acoustic and motion control by viscoelastic piezo-electric and material damping. Numerical simulations in terms of critical parameters, such as relaxation functions of the structure and piezo-electric devices, aerodynamic coefficients, Mach number, are carried out to evaluate their sensitivity to system responses, sensing and structural control. Computational simulations indicate that light weight piezo-electric viscoelastic devices can be effectively used to actively or passively control flight vehicle structural response to aerodynamic noise.

		Sung Yi holds an associate professor position in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Portland State University, Oregon. Sung Yi was awarded a Ph.D. degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992. His primary teaching and research interests lie in the areas of electronic packaging, delamination & failure mechanisms of electronic packages and composites, constitutive modeling and characterization of materials, computational simulation, etc. In 1991, Dr. Yi developed a time-dependent failure criterion for delamination onsets in laminated composites, thereby significantly contributing to the prediction of life times of composites and received the Jefferson Goblet paper award at the 32nd AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics and Materials Conference, Baltimore, MD. He also received the Roger A. Strehlow Memorial Award for his outstanding research accomplishment in UIUC in 1992. He co-developed the "Yi-Hilton model’’ to describe the chemo-thermo-viscoelastic behavior for thermosetting polymers during curing. Recently, he co-created a new technical term "piezoelectro-hygro-thermo-viscoelasticity" for PVDF smart materials and successfully formulated the variational principle for piezo-electro-hygro-thermo-viscoelastic materials. He is the first one who formulated based on coupling hygro-thermo-viscoelastic physics and solved the pop-corn problem which is one of the most critical reliability problems in plastic IC packages. He also developed the system to measure in-situ moisture ingress in IC packages and polymers with complex geometry and to calculate their diffusion properties accurately. Most of his current research efforts have direct applications to the critical technologies needed in developing the next generation of IC packages. He is an associate fellow of the AIAA and is an editorial advisory board member for the Journal of Soldering and Surface Mount Technology. In 1996, he was invited as a guest editor for a special issue on "Application of FEA in Electronic Packaging" for the Journal of Finite Elements in Analysis and Design.
