The effects of different ferrule length and epoxy layer thickness of the module of optical fiber connector under thermal cycling are investigated in this thesis. The finite element method package, MSC. MARC, is used in this study and the coupled thermal-elastic-plastic model is employed in the analysis. The mechanical behavior and life prediction with different length of ferrule and thickness of epoxy layer are considered. It is shown that the thickness of epoxy layer has the major effect on the life of the module. The stress and strain in the fiber and epoxy layer are decreasing with increasing of ferrule length, and the life of the module is increasing with increasing of thickness of epoxy layer. Finally, we recommend the ferrule length can be designed between 7.89mm ~10.5mm.
