Abstract: This article reviews recent developments in the interaction between water waves, seabed, and coastal structures. The scope of the review covers theoretical approaches and physical modeling for ...

Abstract: Thermosonic ball bonding is the method of choice for many interconnections to integrated circuits. This study investigated the effects of bonding parameters on bonding strength using a thermosonic ...

Abstract: Wire bonding is a popular joining technique in microelectronic interconnect. In this study, the effects of applied load, surface roughness, welding power and welding time on bonding strength ...

Abstract: The continuity problems in the cylindrical shells due to abrupt change in geometry, plate thickness, or loading condition are discussed. In order to illustrate the method of determining the ...

Abstract: When a turbulence closure model is used for cloud simulations, the effect of turbulence-scale saturation must be taken into account in determining the turbulent buoyancy flux. Sommeria and Deardorff derived statistical ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is presented in this paper for rollingsliding contacts operating in a mixed regime of elastohydrodynamic lubrication and boundary lubrication. The model is based on the framework of Johnson et al. ...

Abstract: A new scheme for identifying the parameters of second-order nonlinear systems, including those affine with the control input, is presented. First, a high-gain PD control is applied for the ...

Abstract: The evaluation of wave characteristics has been widely studied by ocean engineers in the past. However, conventional investigations for determining wave characteristics have been focused on the ...
