Material optimization and characterization for internal structure by analysing mechanical and thermal properties in mobile device design

The industry of consumer electronics is the fastest growing and changing industry in the world. This change is not only limited to software and hardware, but also mechanical stuctures and design of products are improved as a result of this change. Manufacturing and new raw material technologies are prominent subjects in mechanical terms. As necessitated by market trends, the demand for thinner, much lighter, much faster mobile devices with better visual quality is increasing every day. While better visual quality and improved fastness inrease heat production directly, thinner and lighter qualities put product robutsness in risk. Although design is a variable which can not be underestimated in consideration of these two subjects, material selection is also of great importance. The purpose of this study is material optimization by thermal and mechanical analysis of aluminum (ADC12) and magnesium(AZ91D) alloys which are most commonly used as internal structure part in smartphone manufacturing. This optimization leads to a local design and manufacturing and result of study is used for next designs.
