Abstract: The diffraction of multidirectional random surface waves with one or more rectangular submarine pits is investigated theoretically. The incident wave conditions are specified using a discrete form ...

Abstract: Time delay in dynamic systems has long been considered a complex phenomenon. One can see increased research activity on this topic since the early 1980s, and primarily from the mathematics ...

Abstract: Large-scale automated assembly systems are widely used in automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics industries to obtain high quality products in less time. However, one disadvantage of these ...

Abstract: Based on a conventional walking-beam pumping unit, a dual-beam pumping unit for increasing stroke and reducing force is presented, and an approach involving computer kinematic and dynamic simulation ...

Abstract: Multi-layered stacks are commonly used in microelectronic packaging. Traditionally, these systems are designed using linear-elastic analysis either with analytical solutions or finite element method. ...

Abstract: An accurate estimate of thermal stresses in multilayered microelectronics structures along the bonded interfaces is crucial for design and prediction of delamination-related failures. Compared with ...
