Abstract: The problem of determining the stresses in a bimaterial beam subjected to a thermal load is considered. One beam layer is assumed to be linear while the second layer is assumed to be ...

Abstract: This technical note shows that the determination of the stresses induced in multi-metal beams by temperature changes reduces to solving a linear system of equations. This system of equations ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the sensitivity of the dynamic response of printed wiring boards (PWB). A general method to study the sensitivity of the response of the board as a function of ...

Abstract: Periodic structures, that is, structures that consist of a basic pattern which is repeated multiple times, are commonplace in the electronics industry. This paper is concerned with the determination ...

Abstract: This technical note presents a global sensitivity analysis method for the dynamic response of electronic systems considering several design parameters at the same time. The method is an extension ...
