Abstract: A theoretical investigation is made of the axisymmetric snap-through buckling of a shallow conical shell subjected to an idealized impulse applied uniformly over the surface of the shell. The ...

Abstract: The current state-of-the-art in structural analysis of aerospace vehicles is characterized, automated design technology is discussed, and an indication is given of the future direction of research ...

Abstract: Thermal considerations in printed wiring board (PWB) assemblies are becoming increasingly important as packaging constraints shrink and power use escalates. In this paper, we provide a study on ...
