[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively, are a complete flexible electronic system and a separate flexible printed circuit board, the structure of which is shown in the figures, and the conductor layer is mainly bonded to the flexible substrate through an adhesive layer, and there are also cover layers on the upper and lower surfaces, which play the role of insulation and protection. Figure 1a ) and Figure 1b ) respectively. The flexible printed circuit board has a complex structure, some irregularly distributed small concave structures and irregular edges. Before theoretical calculation of large deflection bending displacement and stress, the structure is first reasonably simplified, the length, width and thickness of each layer are kept unchanged, and the layer structure shown in Fig. 3 is simplified to the regular laminate structure shown in Fig. 4.

[0053] The flexible printed circuit board original model shown in Fig. 3 is simplified to the regular laminate structure shown in Fig. 4. Through ABAQUS finite element software simulation, it can be obtained that compared with the original flexible printed circuit board, the simplified flexible printed circuit board has consistent stress distribution under the same bending load, and the displacement and the stress in each direction of the reference point are kept within a small error, so it is considered that this structure simplification is reasonable. Figure 2b Figure 2a First, the flexible printed circuit board shown in Fig. 3 is simplified to the regular laminate structure shown in Fig. 4. Figure 2c

[0054] First, the flexible printed circuit board shown in Fig. 3 is simplified to the regular laminate structure shown in Fig. 4. Figure 3a ​​)the flexible printed circuit board under the extrusion bending condition shown in the figure is calculated by displacement theory. In this stress condition, it can be regarded as a plane stress state, without considering edge effect, and simplified as a two-dimensional beam structure. The length of the circuit board is L, the width is b, the total thickness is h, the moment of inertia of the section is I, and the minimum bending radius is p'. The circuit board is bent under the extrusion condition at both ends, and there is an inflection point with zero bending moment at a distance of L / 4 from both ends, which are respectively denoted as B1 and B2. These two positions can be regarded as hinge connection points, and the B1B2 interval with a length of L / 2 can be regarded as a flexible rod with hinged ends. In the bending process, the bending of the circuit board is symmetrical, and the force analysis of the B1C segment can be carried out to simplify the calculation process. The B1C segment can be approximately regarded as an ideal elastic compression rod under large deformation condition, as shown in Figure 3a )and converted into the PO segment as shown in Figure 3b )and the coordinate system is created. Based on the ideal elastic compression rod under large deformation condition, the displacement of the flexible printed circuit board is theoretically derived.

[0055] The displacement constraint is applied to the flexible printed circuit board, and the sum of the displacements of the two end points A1 and A2 is Y. Given the extrusion displacement Y, the deformed curve and the curvature radius at each point on the curve can be obtained by the following formula. First, calculate the intermediate variable p

[0056]

[0057] Where K(p) is the first complete elliptic integral, and E(p) is the second complete elliptic integral.

[0058] The minimum curvature radius p' of the curve is calculated by the formula

[0059]

[0060] Where Thus, the minimum curvature radius control after deformation can be achieved by applying the extrusion displacement.

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] Where Thus, the intermediate variable k can be obtained.

[0064]

[0065] Where x and y represent the x coordinate and y coordinate of any point on the PO segment after deformation respectively. Thus, the shape of the entire curve can be solved to achieve deformation control.

[0066] In summary, the flexible printed circuit board bending deformation calculation method provided in the embodiment comprises the following steps.

[0067] S1: converting the structure of the flexible printed circuit board into a laminate structure model;

[0068] S2: converting the laminate model into a two-dimensional beam model, the length of the two-dimensional beam model being the same as the length of the laminate structure model and being set as L, the width being the same and being set as b, the total thickness being the same and being set as h, the moment of inertia of the cross section being the same and being set as I, and the minimum bending radius being the same and being set as p'; h

[0069] S3: calculating the bending deformation of the circuit board under the extrusion state of both ends, comprising the following steps.

[0070] S30: calculating the minimum curvature radius p' of the curve:

[0071]

[0072] wherein,

[0073] wherein, the value of the first intermediate variable p is obtained by formula (0.1);

[0074]

[0075] wherein, K(p) is the first complete elliptic integral, and E(p) is the second complete elliptic integral;

[0076]

[0077] wherein, the value of the second intermediate variable k is obtained by formula (1.3) and (1.4), applying displacement constraints to both ends of the length direction of the two-dimensional beam model, and the sum of the displacements of the two end points A1 and A2 is Y.

[0078] S3 further comprises S31: calculating the displacement of any point between the P point at L / 4 from one end and the midpoint O of the circuit board.

[0079] S31: applying displacement constraints to both ends of the length direction of the two-dimensional beam model, and the sum Y of the displacements of the two end points A1 and A2 is the known extrusion displacement, and x and y are the x coordinate and y coordinate of any point on the PO segment after deformation:

[0080]

[0081] The length, width and thickness of each layer in the laminate structure model obtained by conversion in S1 are the same as the maximum size of the outer contour of each layer structure of the flexible printed circuit board.

[0082] ​A flexible printed circuit board bends under pressure at both ends. The displacement of any point between one end Q and point P, which is L / 4 away from Q, is symmetrical about 180 degrees with respect to the displacement of any point between point P, which is L / 4 away from Q, and point O, which is L / 4 away from Q, and the midpoint O of the circuit board.

[0083] Example 2

[0084] Based on the bending deformation results calculated in Example 1, an in-plane and out-of-plane stress analysis is performed on the flexible printed circuit board. First, a sufficiently small end is considered for study; it can be assumed that the bending curvature of the flexible circuit board remains constant within this small segment. Taking a three-layer flexible printed circuit board as an example, a global polar coordinate system and a local coordinate system are created, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the origin of the local coordinate system z′ lies on the geometric mid-surface of the laminated beam. In this global polar coordinate system, the stress components include σ. θ , σ r and τ rθ Simulation results show that during the bending process of the flexible printed circuit board, it mainly bears the normal stress σ along the angle θ direction. θ and the normal stress σ along the radius r direction r , τ rθ Compared to the other two stress components, which are very small and can be ignored in terms of damage, the stress analysis of printed circuit boards assumes that τ rθ It is zero.

[0085] When a beam is subjected to axial pressure and asymmetrical laminated structures, a neutral axis shift occurs, and the position of the beam's neutral axis no longer coincides with the centroidal axis. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the origin of the local coordinate system z-axis lies on the central axis. Therefore, the following relationship exists between z and z′.

[0086]

[0087] in, This represents the distance between the centroidal axis and the neutral axis.

[0088] Taking a three-layer laminated printed circuit board as an example, r e The radius of curvature of the upper surface of the stretched layer, r int2 and r int1 Let r represent the radii of curvature of the upper and lower surfaces of the intermediate layer, respectively. i This represents the radius of curvature of the lower surface of the compression layer.

[0089] Circumferential strain ε in the θ direction θ The local coordinates Z exhibit a linear relationship, which depends on the radius of curvature ρ of the neutral axis, and the relationship is as follows:

[0090]

[0091] According to the circumferential stress, the axial force and the bending moment on the cross section can be obtained

[0092] ∫ A σ θ dA=N(θ) (1.9)

[0093] ∫ A σ θ z‘dA=M(θ) (1.10)

[0094] Taking the three-layer structure as an example, it can be written as

[0095]

[0096] wherein b represents the width of the flexible printed circuit board, E t , E n , E c respectively represent the elastic modulus of the corresponding material of the tensile layer, the intermediate layer and the compression layer.

[0097] According to the mechanical equilibrium equation, it can be known that

[0098] N(θ)y α +M(θ)=0 (1.13)

[0099] By combining equations (1.11), (1.12) and (1.13), the offset amount of the intermediate axis about the centroid axis can be determined and ρ.

[0100] The calculation formula of the stress component σ θ in the θ direction is

[0101]

[0102] wherein r represents the distance from the center of the circular arc corresponding to the centroid axis after deformation, and r=z′+ρ′.

[0103] After obtaining the in-plane stress, the out-of-plane stress σ r can be solved according to the stress function in the polar coordinate system, and the stress function in the polar coordinate system is

[0104]

[0105] In strict sense, the stress function is a function of angle θ, and a small segment of the laminate is studied, the curvature radius of the segment does not change with θ, so the in-plane stress is independent of θ, so the stress function can be assumed to be independent of θ, and the stress function is simplified.

[0106] Taking the radial stress of the tensile layer as an example, the derivation process is

[0107]

[0108] Continuing the integration of the above equation

[0109]

[0110] Substituting equation (1.14) into equation (1.20) gives

[0111]

[0112] Substituting equation (1.14) into the above equation gives

[0113]

[0114] Since the curvature radius is assumed to be constant with respect to angle, σ θ , σ r is independent of θ, the stress function is also independent of θ, then Therefore

[0115]

[0116] Substituting equation (1.24) into the above equation gives

[0117]

[0118] Similarly, the out-of-plane stresses of the intermediate and compression layers can be obtained

[0119]

[0120] According to the boundary conditions, when located at the top and bottom surfaces of the laminate, i.e. r = r e , r = r i , σ r = 0, substituting it into equations (1.26) and (1.28) gives

[0121] f 1t = 0 (1.29)

[0122] f 1c = 0 (1.30)

[0123] Therefore, the following equations can be obtained

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] According to the continuity condition of the out-of-plane stress σ r , σ r is continuous between layers, so when r = r int2 , σ rt = σrn When r = r int1 At that time, σ rn =σ rc When one of the stress continuity conditions is satisfied, the other continuity condition is automatically satisfied. Let r = r int2 Substituting into equations (1.26) and (1.27), we can obtain

[0127]

[0128] Taking a three-layer flexible printed circuit board as an example, the thicknesses of each layer from top to bottom are 0.1mm, 0.6mm, and 0.1mm, respectively. Its model is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the top and bottom layers are made of epoxy resin, and the middle layer is made of PI, all assumed to be isotropic materials. The material parameters are shown in Table 1. Hypermesh software was used to mesh the material and assign material properties, and the mesh in the middle section was refined. Simulation was performed using ABAQUS software.

[0129] Table 1 Flexible Plate Material Parameters

[0130]

[0131] Verification process:

[0132] A boundary condition of horizontal compression from both sides was applied, and a quarter of the model on the left side was used for simulation calculations to verify the theoretical calculation results. Figure 6 The figure shows the deformation calculation results of a quarter-sized flexible printed circuit board under different extrusion displacements. The error between the theoretical calculation results and the simulation results remains within 1%. A cross-section of the circuit board is taken, and the in-plane stress on the cross-section is verified. Figure 7 The figure shows the variation of in-plane stress along the thickness direction on the cross-section. The error between the theoretical calculation results and the simulation results remains within 4%. Similarly, the out-of-plane stress on the middle cross-section of the circuit board is verified. Figure 8 The figure shows the variation of out-of-plane stress along the thickness direction on the cross-section. The error between the theoretical calculation results and the simulation results remains within 7%. These results demonstrate that this theoretical calculation method can accurately calculate the displacement and in-plane and out-of-plane stresses of flexible printed circuit boards under large deflection deformation.

[0133] In summary, the bending stress calculation method for flexible printed circuit boards provided in this embodiment calculates the bending stress using the small radius of curvature ρ′ described in Embodiment 1.

[0134] In this method, the normal stress σ along the angle θ direction is ignored when calculating the bending stress. θ and the normal stress σ along the radius r direction r External forces.

[0135] Specifically, the normal stress σ along the direction of angle θ is θ is the in-plane component of the bending stress of the flexible printed circuit board, σ θ The calculation formula of σ is:

[0136]

[0137] And

[0138] wherein, the neutral axis of the deformation section with bending curvature radius ρ is established as a polar coordinate system, wherein, r represents the distance from the center of the circular arc corresponding to the centroid axis after deformation as the starting point; E represents the elastic modulus of the material of the flexible printed circuit board at r;

[0139] The origin of the local coordinate system z axis is located on the neutral axis, then there is a relationship between z and z' as follows

[0140]

[0141] wherein, represents the distance between the centroid axis and the neutral axis.

[0142] Specifically, the normal stress σ along the direction of radius r is r is the out-of-plane component of the bending stress of the flexible printed circuit board, σ r The calculation formula of σ includes:

[0143]
