FPC 彎折中性層計算器:應力與疊構視覺化

以可拖曳疊構視覺化計算 FPC 彎折中性層、銅層應變與各層應力,支援開蓋與 Air Gap 彎折區比較。

FPC 彎折中性層應力計算器怎麼用

FPC 彎折中性層計算不只看最小彎折半徑,而是把每一層的厚度、彈性模數與 Poisson ratio 納入,估算中性層位置、銅層表面應變與各層拉壓應力。這一頁把計算步驟、可拖曳 FPC 疊構、開蓋區 / Air Gap 區域模式與動態視覺化放在一起,適合用來比較彎折區設計差異。

This FPC neutral-axis calculator goes beyond a simple bend-radius check by combining formula steps, draggable stack-up ordering and dynamic visualization. It uses layer thickness, elastic modulus and Poisson ratio to estimate neutral-axis location, copper surface strain and layer tension or compression stress, with coverlay opening and air-gap bend-zone modes for design comparison.

Composite neutral axis, strain and layer stress

公式: Neutral axis = sum(Ei x ti x yi) / sum(Ei x ti); strain = y / (R + y0); stress = E x strain

  • Ei: effective modulus of each included material layer.
  • ti: layer thickness.
  • yi: layer centroid measured through the stack-up.
  • R: inside bend radius.
  • y0: distance from the bend inner side to the neutral axis.
  • Air-gap layer: keeps spacing in the stack geometry but contributes zero stiffness.
  • Layer stress sign: positive and negative values identify tensile or compressive side behavior.

公式依據

  • Formula basis: mechanics-of-materials composite beam / transformed-section theory. The neutral axis is treated as the stiffness-weighted centroid, yNA = sum(Ei x Ai x yi) / sum(Ei x Ai); for a unit-width FPC stack-up, Ai is represented by layer thickness ti.
  • Formula basis: Euler-Bernoulli bending theory. Normal strain varies approximately linearly with distance from the neutral axis, epsilon = y / rho; this tool uses rho = inside bend radius + neutral-axis distance from the bend inner side.
  • Formula basis: Hooke's-law stress estimate, sigma = Eeff x epsilon. When plane-strain mode is enabled, Eeff = E / (1 - nu^2).

範例

A coverlay-open or air-gap bend zone can shift the stiffness balance of the FPC stack-up. By changing the layer order or bend-zone mode, the drawing and stress table update together so the tensile and compressive layers can be reviewed before layout release.

工程注意事項

  • Layer order matters because the neutral axis shifts toward stiffer or thicker material.
  • Removed and reference layers are excluded from the neutral-axis calculation.
  • Air-gap layers keep stack spacing but do not add stiffness or stress rows.
  • Use material values from the actual FPC stack-up whenever possible.
  • Use this page to compare stack-up concepts before moving into detailed simulation or physical bend testing.
  • This tool intentionally excludes bend-life prediction and ANSYS control functions.

FAQ

How is this different from a bend radius calculator?

A bend-radius calculator usually estimates a minimum radius or a simple strain value. This tool links the bend radius to the actual FPC stack-up, neutral-axis position, layer stiffness and stress direction, so engineers can see which layers are under tension or compression.

Does this run ANSYS?

No. This page only performs formula-based neutral-axis and stress calculation. ANSYS automation and solve control are intentionally not included.

Why can the stack-up be dragged?

Changing layer order changes each material centroid and can shift the neutral axis, so drag ordering makes quick design comparison easier.
