Abstract: Micro-scale BGA has attracted more and more interest due to their high performance/area ratio. This technology is especially important for mobile personal equipment, such as cellular phones and ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation is reported of turbulent incompressible jets confined in two ducts, one cylindrical and the other conical with a 5 deg divergence. In each case, three Craya-Curtet ...

Abstract: Finite difference solutions for a power-law fluid flow through an assemblage of solid particles at low Reynolds numbers are obtained using both the free-surface cell model and the zero-vorticity ...

Abstract: Thermally-induced failure is a major reliability issue for electronic packaging. Due to the highly nonlinear behaviors and thermal mismatch of packaging materials, an electronic package exhibits ...

Abstract: A finite-volume method is presented for calculating incompressible 3-D flows with curved irregular boundaries. The method employs structured nonorthogonal grids, cell-centered variable arrangement, ...

Abstract: The reflection of ultrasound can be used to determine oil film thickness in elastohydrodynamic lubricated (EHL) contacts if the opposing surfaces are fully separated by the liquid layer. The ...

Abstract: Transient response of a composite plate with a near-surface delamination has been studied in this paper. A new technique developed by the authors to evaluate the Cauchy Principal Value integrals ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel kinematic analysis method for a class of lower-mobility mechanisms whose degree-of-freedom (DoF) equal the number of single-DoF kinematic pairs in each kinematic limb ...

Abstract: Green's functions for a laminated composite plate have been studied using the representation in terms of guided modes. Attention has been focused here on the two-dimensional (plane strain) motion. For this purpose, the ...

Abstract: Three sets of real earthquake records are selected to represent seismic ground motions in the low, normal, and high
