Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a conductive adhesive sheet is used to adhere components, then adhesion strength is improved, but the ability to detach components when needed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive sheet's adhesion property is made dynamic by applying voltage. The adhesive force transitions from a strong state (when no voltage is applied) to a weakened state (when voltage is applied), allowing the system to adapt between maintaining secure attachment and enabling easy detachment based on operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive force parameter of the conductive adhesive sheet is changed by applying voltage. The electrical parameter (voltage application) directly modifies the mechanical parameter (adhesive force), transforming the adhesive from a permanently strong bond to a controllable, reversible bond that can be detached on demand.
2Reliability
If components are firmly adhered to ensure durability, then reliability is improved, but the ability to service or replace components deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The conductive adhesive sheet acts as an intermediary between permanent adhesion and easy detachment. It provides strong bonding under normal conditions to ensure durability, while serving as a controllable release mechanism when voltage is applied, enabling component servicing without compromising either durability or repairability.
Solution Approach 2:
The bond strength is made dynamic rather than static. The adhesive maintains strong attachment during normal operation to ensure reliability, but can be quickly transitioned to a weak bond state when voltage is applied, facilitating component replacement and servicing as needed.
