Abstract: In this paper an equivalent one-dimensional system for taper leaf springs (similar to those used in vehicle suspension systems) is developed so that results obtained from it are in good agreement ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented for the laminar squeezing flow of an incompressible power-law fluid between parallel plane annuli. The results obtained are based on the thin-film approximation, and ...

Abstract: A generalization of the problem of laminar squeezing flow of a non-Newtonian fluid between plane annular surfaces is presented. The generalization considers the effect of difference in the ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development and application of a finite element method for determining the equilibrium shapes of solder joints which are formed during a surface mount reflow process. ...

Abstract: An analytical model of solder joint formation during a surface mount reflow process is developed in the present paper, and the solution is obtained in an explicit integral form. For two ...

Abstract: In this paper dimensionless design curves relating fillet height and length to joint cross-sectional area are presented for surface-mount solder joints. Based on an analytical surface tension ...

Abstract: An analytical model of solder joint formation during a surface mount reflow process is developed for two-dimensional fillets whose flow may be restricted due to “finite” metallizations on a ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of the parametric finite element method for predicting shapes of three-dimensional solder joints. With this method, the surface of the joint is meshed ...

Abstract: Solutions for axisymmetric profiles of solder joints formed between a cylindrical pin and a printed circuit board (PCB) are presented. The dimensionless differential equation governing the formation ...
