DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe overwhelming majority of studies in microelectronics and fiber-optics are experimental. Not too many apply numerical, mainly finite-element, methods to analyze microelectronics and fiber-optic structures. There is a very small number of papers using analytical modeling. At the same time application of powerful and well-developed analytical methods of engineering mechanics often enables one to obtain valuable prior information of the mechanical behavior of materials and structures, to interpret empirical data, and to extrapolate the accumulated experience on new designs. As a rule, application of rational analytical modeling results in substantial savings of time and expense. The review, based primarily on materials science problems related to the mechanical behavior of materials in microelectronics and fiber-optics, and lending themselves to analytical solutions.
