Abstract: The local coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between compliant surface mount component leads and the solder that is used to attach the components to a printed wiring board can ...

Abstract: Finite element models of crack‐line wedge‐loaded, double cantilever beam (CLWL‐DCB) fracture specimens were used in their generation mode to evaluate the crack tip opening displacements (CTOD) associated with a fracture ...

Abstract: Results are reported of a series of tests on concrete crack‐line wedge loaded double cantilever beams. Those tests provide a data base for fracture parameters characterizing mode I cracking in concrete. The development is ...
