Abstract: In this study, the effect of service-induced deformation on the toughness of AISI 304L and its weld metal, A WS 308L was determined. Low temperature compressive loading in the laboratory ...

Abstract: Elastic properties of precipitation-hardened aluminum alloys 2014 and 2219 were studied between 4 and 300 K using ultrasonic pulse techniques. Both the longitudinal and transverse sound velocities ...

Abstract: The ultimate goal of this work is an improved method to assess the significance of anomalies in surface mount technology (SMT) solder joints, by relating them to field performance and reliability. ...

Abstract: The combined effects of weld-strength-mismatch and crack size on strength and ductility were studied experimentally using tensile panels. Two high-strength, low-alloy steel base metals were welded ...

Abstract: Using the method of electron beam moiré, a small region at an interface of a [O2 / 90]s glass fiber reinforced plastic composite has been examined during tensile testing. The tensile test ...
