Abstract: A new method, called modified Gompertz model, was proposed to interpret solid state decomposition. To verify the validity of this new model, the thermal degradation of polypropylene (PP) was performed and the results of ...

Abstract: The well-known, closed-form solution to thermal stresses of a die-substrate assembly is initially provided by Suhir in the mid-1980’s after Timoshenko [1] and Chen and Nelson [2]. It has been ...

Abstract: The computational efficiency of four vectorizable implicit algorithms is assessed when applied to calculate steady-state solutions to the three-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in ...
