Abstract: Two test specimens are developed to measure interfacial fracture toughness in flip-chip assemblies. The specimens consist of three layers: silicon chip, underfill, and circuit board. Two symmetric ...

Abstract: Results of an aerodynamic design study for the multistage axial helium compressor of a 300 MWe class nuclear gas turbine are presented. Helium compressor aerodynamics is challenged by the ...

Abstract: The productivity of machining centers is influenced inherently by the quality of NC programs. To evaluate productivity, first an effective feedrate factor and a productivity evaluation factor are ...

Abstract: A set of data fitting algorithms are presented for determining the cyclic material properties used in the local strain approach to fatigue life prediction. These properties are obtained by ...
