Abstract: AbstractBased on the results of 46 phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models and empirical orthogonal function analysis, it was found that the leading diversity mode of East Asian summer rainfall ...

Abstract: The Eshelby tensor for an ellipsoidal inclusion in an elastic matrix of infinite extent is considered in this paper. Instead of assuming perfect bonding between the inclusion and the matrix, ...

Abstract: Upper-layer circulation is investigated by using all available historical temperature profiles combined with climatological temperature?salinity relationships in the South China Sea. Two cyclonic eddies are revealed: one ...

Abstract: Advanced internally cooled liquid desiccant air dehumidifiers enhance overall air-conditioning efficiency by incorporating internal cooling mechanisms. Their existing simulation models require detailed dehumidifier ...

Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive methodology for optimizing the design of a two-phase micro-channel heat sink. The heat sink parameters are grouped into geometrical parameters, operating ...

Abstract: In a previous study, we found that moisture preconditioning strongly influenced the interfacial fracture toughness of the underfill/solder mask interface, decreasing the interfacial adhesion by ...

Abstract: Debonding of polymer-metal interfaces often involves both interfacial and cohesive failure. Since the cohesive strength of polymers is usually much greater than the polymer-metal interfacial strength, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a microstructure-dependent creep model is developed that accounts for the hierarchal microstructure at multiple length scales. The model considers three distinguishable phases in ...
