Abstract: In this study, the effect of underfill on the level of stress concentrations is investigated and possible failure sites are identified by using a global/local finite element approach. The global ...

Abstract: Moisture migration in PQFPs (plastic quad flat packages) was investigated analytically and experimentally. Coupons made of the molding compound material were exposed to humid air for an extended ...

Abstract: Pavement materials are prone to damage due to mechanical loadings and rainfall infiltration. The rainfall initiates moisture movement within the layers and accelerates the damaging rate. A better understanding of the ...

Abstract: A granular filter is required to satisfy two requirements of retention and hydraulic conductivity. The current design approaches are based on the representative grain sizes for retention and hydraulic conductivity requirements. ...
