This volume originates from the 2002 8th International Advanced Packaging Materials Symposium and covers topics including: bending of bare fibres; bare fibre under the combined action of bending and tension; polymer coated fibres; and solder materials and joints.
Materials, Structures and Loads in Photonics Packaging; Bending of Bare

Coated Fibers; "Global" and "Local" Thermal Stresses in Optical Fibers;
Elastic Stability and Microbending; Solder Materials and Joints; Thermal
Stress Failures in Fiber Optics Structures: Prediction and Prevention;
Dynamic Response of Fiber Optic Structures to Shocks and Vibrations.
