Abstract: As the shrinkage and integration of devices, the creep behavior of tin-based alloys becomes important with microscales. In this paper, the behavior of creep deformation in solder alloys during ...

Abstract: Shaking table tests of three-dimensional piping models with degradation were conducted in order to investigate the influence of degradation on dynamic behavior and failure modes of piping systems. ...

Abstract: Pressurized piping systems used for an extended period may develop degradations such as wall thinning or cracks due to aging. It is important to estimate the effects of degradation on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simulation method to evaluate the thermal fatigue life of a power module. A coupled electrical-thermal analysis was performed to obtain the nonuniform temperature distribution ...
