Abstract: A surface-mount J-leaded device is modeled in this study, to investigate the effects of selected design, loading and manufacturing variables on solder joint fatigue life. The solder is modeled ...

Abstract: A series of experimental runs on the performance of stilling basin models with different configurations in terms of shape, size, and location of appurtenances was carried out to develop an efficient and economical stilling ...

Abstract: The results of experimental work leading to the development of shorter and improved stilling basins for pipe outlets are reported. The original USBR impact type VI stilling basin incorporates a floor that is depressed below ...

Abstract: The technique used to incise the disc during discectomy may play a role in the subsequent healing and change in biomechanical stiffness of the disc. Several techniques of lumbar disc annulotomy ...

Abstract: At present, various methods are available to analyze storm runoff data. Among these, application of the Z-transform is comparatively new, and the technique has been used to identify rainfall from analysis of a single-storm ...

Abstract: Organic colloids resulting from sediment diagenesis in porewaters are transported across the sediment-water interface via Brownian diffusion. The sediment selected for this study was from the University Lake, Baton Rouge, ...
