Abstract: This paper extends the envelope theory for plate cam geometry design to irregular-surface follower systems. Analytical description of cam profiles for general com-follower systems is derived and ...

Abstract: Extremely hot and humid environments are common in numerous occupational settings. Construction work is tough and physically demanding, and the difficulty is exacerbated by the hot and humid weather of tropical and subtropical ...

Abstract: A study of blast effects inside an enclosure was performed for a 1-lb C4 charge placed at the center of a rectangular bunker. The prediction based on the Euler equations shows good agreement ...

Abstract: The contact resistances investigated by this study of ACF joints using Au∕Ni bumps and flexible substrates are found to be increased by the induced mechanical shock and also by the combined ...

Abstract: This paper presents the reliability of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) joint tested under reflow soldering and environmental test effect. The ACF joint behaved differently under different reflow ...

Abstract: Over the past decade, corruption has elicited increasing attention in the construction industry, and several studies have been conducted and published on the topic of forms of corruption in the construction industry. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation model useful for assessing the suitability of public-private partnership (PPP) projects by studying their attractive and negative factors. A survey of industrial practitioners in Hong Kong ...

Abstract: Intermetallics formation between metallization conductor Pd-Ag and solder 62Sn-36Pb-2Ag have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray diffraction. Energy-dispersive X-Ray ...
