Abstract: The momentum and energy integral methods are used to obtain expressions for the pressure gradient in unsteady flow of an inelastic power-law fluid. For the special case of a sinusoidally ...

Abstract: The momentum and energy integral methods are used to study the effect of inertia on the behavior of a non-Newtonian (Power Law) squeeze film. It is shown that the inertia correction in the ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for the laminar squeezing flow of a Newtonian in-compressible fluid between parallel plane annuli. Both local and convective inertia of the flow are considered in the ...

Abstract: An exact solution of the lubrication equations of motion for flow in a Rayleigh step of infinite width is presented. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible, and the non-Newtonian behavior ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for the laminar squeezing flow of an incompressible power-law fluid between parallel plane annuli. The results obtained are based on the thin-film approximation, and ...

Abstract: A generalization of the problem of laminar squeezing flow of a non-Newtonian fluid between plane annular surfaces is presented. The generalization considers the effect of difference in the ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development and application of a finite element method for determining the equilibrium shapes of solder joints which are formed during a surface mount reflow process. ...

Abstract: An analytical model of solder joint formation during a surface mount reflow process is developed in the present paper, and the solution is obtained in an explicit integral form. For two ...

Abstract: In this paper dimensionless design curves relating fillet height and length to joint cross-sectional area are presented for surface-mount solder joints. Based on an analytical surface tension ...

Abstract: An analytical model of solder joint formation during a surface mount reflow process is developed for two-dimensional fillets whose flow may be restricted due to “finite” metallizations on a ...
