Abstract: In many cases, functions of semiconductor devices are limited by thermal rather than electronic considerations. A microcomputer code has been developed to analyze the steady-state thermal behavior ...

Abstract: A special three-dimensional crack-tip element has been developed to investigate a simple and widely applicable fracture toughness test method. Previous experimental work with the double-torsion ...

Abstract: A droplet generator has been designed and built to make wax and tin alloy droplets for freeform fabrication. The linear stability theory of liquid jets for forming droplets is first reviewed. ...

Abstract: The recently developed integral hydro-bulge forming (IHBF) process was utilized in the manufacturing of single and multi-layered spherical pressure and storage vessels. Single-layered spherical ...

Abstract: A non-contact sensing system has been developed to measure the temperature response of a rapidly rotating roll under spray cooling encountered in metal rolling processes. A thin-film sensor with ...
