Abstract: Cylindrical tanks with conical roof shells are utilized as oil storage tanks and for some containment vessels. It is known that conical roof shells and torispherical shells subjected to static ...

Abstract: Al2O3/YAG eutectic composite has been developed for a structural material used in ultra high temperature environments over 1500°C such as a gasturbine. Creep behavior is one of the important ...

Abstract: Stress-induced changes in the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device become a major concern in the production of semiconductor packages because the electrical characteristics are ...

Abstract: The evaluation of a fracture from a thin layer constrained by a hard material is important in relation to the structural integrity of adhesive joints and composite materials. It has been ...

Abstract: The effect of bond thickness on the fracture toughness of adhesive joints was investigated from a microstructural perspective, using compact tension (CT) adhesive-joint specimens with different ...

Abstract: A crack initiated from a V-notch corner in the molding resin, such as a corner of die pad, is one of the main causes of the failure in plastic packages. The stress intensity factors of ...

Abstract: The fracture behavior of an interface crack tip has significant influence on the structural integrity of an adhesive joint. We investigate a damage zone and the deformation of rubber particles ...
