Abstract: At IC package lead counts above 100, the limiting factor for bond densification in single layer packages with gold wire interconnections shifts from pad pitch to a combination of lead tip ...

Abstract: The PLK coordinate perturbation technique [10] is used to obtain a solution to the problem of collapse of gas-filled spherical cavity in an infinite compressible liquid. The gas is assumed to ...

Abstract: Load-lateral deflection curves are developed for a pressurized tube of circular cross section under combined bending and compression. The tube walls are assumed to have negligible compressive ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional wave propagation analysis is carried out to assess the validity of the Kolsky formulas [1] for average stress and strain in a specimen exhibiting bilinear elastic-plastic ...

Abstract: The method of singular surfaces is used to obtain expressions for the amplitudes of weak discontinuities reflected from or transmitted across interfaces between solids of dissimilar elastic-plastic ...

Abstract: The Griffith theory for unstable crack length is modified to take into account the effect of residual (self-equilibrating) stresses. An expression relating the uniform stress, physical properties ...

Abstract: Formulas are derived which describe the dynamic response of a ring of rigid-plastic material which is subjected to an arbitrarily distributed impulse load. When the impulse is distributed over ...

Abstract: An examination is made of the assumptions underlying the Rabotnov-Shesterikov theory of dynamic creep instability [1] to determine a reason for the reported poor agreement between theoretical ...
