Lateral compliance of a compressed rod supported by an elastic foundation, with application to micro-electronic and fibre-optic structures
E Suhir
Show affiliationsIn some optical fibre (OF) structures (such as, e.g. dual-coated OF interconnects) or in carbon-nano-fibre (CNF) arrays embedded into elastic media (e.g. when these arrays are used in heat removal devices), the OFs or the CNFs can be idealized as cantilever beams (rods) that experience both axial compression and lateral loading. We show that axial compression can increase considerably the compliance of the OF or the CNF with respect to the lateral loading. We develop simple predictive models for the assessment of this effect. The analysis is limited to small (pre-buckling) deflections of the structural elements in question.
