Abstract: Marine icing due to freezing sea spray has been attributed to many safety incidences. Prediction of sea spray icing is necessary for operational safety, design optimization, and structural health. In general, lack of ...

Abstract: The classic Burmester problem is concerned with computing dimensions of planar four-bar linkages consisting of all revolute joints for five-pose problems. We define extended Burmester problem as the one where all types of ...

Abstract: The self-alignment mechanism of molten flip-chip solder joints is being increasingly used in passive alignment of optoelectronic devices. For these applications, three-dimensional models of misaligned ...

Abstract: The ever-increasing demand for higher-density interconnection between a multi-chip module and the printed circuit board has resulted in the emergence of Land-Grid Array (LGA) connectors as an ...

Abstract: This paper presents systematic modeling and design of an optically powered piezoelectric microactuator for driving a microfluidic dispenser that could find a potential application in a retinal ...

Abstract: A new algorithm, which is a modification of the successive over-relaxation method, has been applied to the inviscid compressible blade-to-blade flow problem. When this procedure was used, an ...
