Abstract: The quality of existing data about the use of urban trails is poor, and planners need better data to plan new trails and manage existing ones. This note presents descriptive analyses of pedestrian and bicycle traffic counts ...

Abstract: Predicting the fatigue life of solder interconnections is a challenge due to the complex nonlinear behavior of solder alloys and the importance of the load history. Long experience with Sn–Pb ...

Abstract: There is considerable uncertainty in the prediction of performance of a system, due mainly to idealizations in geometry, material behavior, and loading history. Uncertainties in geometry can be ...

Abstract: Approximate solutions are developed for filtration and subsequent consolidation of compactible cakes on a cylindrical filter element. Darcy's flow equation is coupled with equations for equilibrium stress under the conditions ...

Abstract: In this study, we focus on investigating the nature of the stress and strain behavior in solder joints and their effect on the hybrid damage modeling approach, which is inspired by cohesive ...

Abstract: This paper presents, discusses, and compares results from experimental and computational studies of the plastic encapsulation process for a 144-lead TQFP package. The experimental results were ...

Abstract: A computational technique is developed for accurate prediction of wire sweep during encapsulation of electronic components by transfer molding. The technique advances the current state-of-the-art ...

Abstract: A staged combustor concept for reducing pollutant emissions is currently under investigation. A numerical study was performed to investigate the chemically reactive flow with liquid spray injection ...

Abstract: Sulfate ions in saltwater can considerably deteriorate the strength and durability of reinforced concrete (RC). To date, there has been no study that systematically investigates the effects of a sulfate attack on the ...
