Effect of the Mechanical Properties and Geometric Parameters on the Crack Density of a Multi-Layered Thin Film Structure under Residual Tensile Stress

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of the mechanical properties and geometric parameters on the crack density of a multi-layered thin film structure under residual tensile stress is investigated theoretically. The numerical results show that the crack density of the thin film decreases with the increase of the thickness of the thin film and (or) the fracture strength of the thin film. These results can help us more deeply understand the fracture behavior of the multi-layered thin film structure under residual tensile stress.
