Abstract: Leadfree solder balls are environment friendly; however, they require a high bonding temperature, which causes problems in the microelectronics package industry. To reduce the bonding temperature, a 60 kHz highfrequency ...

Abstract: Kinks have a strong influence on the structural performance of wire bonds. In this study, a variablelength linkspring model has been developed to better understand kink formation. In this model, a gold wire was decomposed ...

Abstract: Mixing induced by nonbreaking surface waves was investigated in a wave tank by measuring the thermal destratification rate of the water column. One experiment without waves and four experiments with waves of amplitudes ...

Abstract: his study was designed to provide basic information for the improvement of storm nowcasting. According to the mean direction deviation of storm movement, storms were classified into three types: 1) steady storms (S storms, ...

Abstract: Some basic statistics for wave breaking have been derived based on the statistical model of real sea waves. The analytic expressions of breaking entrainment depth and surface whitecap coverage involved with both sea wave ...

Abstract: Storm identification, tracking, and forecasting make up an essential part of weather radar and severe weather surveillance operations. Existing nowcasting algorithms using radar data can be generally classified into two ...
