Abstract: The thermal stresses in microwave packages are studied by the finite element method. Emphasis is placed on the effects of material construction and design on the reliability of very small ...

Abstract: A study is made of the effect of strain rate on the strength of St 52‐3N mild steel, commonly used as deck plating in offshore structures. Stress‐strain curves are obtained in both tension and torsional shear at room ...

Abstract: On March 27, 1980, the semi-submersible platform Alexander L. Kielland broke down in a storm in the North sea, resulting in a loss of 123 lives. The investigation subsequently performed by ...
