Abstract: A micromechanical analysis is presented to obtain the effective macroscale orthotropic thermomechanical behavior of plain-weave fabric reinforced laminated composites based on a two-scale asymptotic ...

Abstract: Failure of plated-through-holes (PTHs) due to thermomechanical stresses is a well established cause of failure of multilayer printed wiring boards (MLBs). This paper uses the finite element method ...
