Abstract: A finite element formulation for multilayered and thick plates, based on a multilayered theory, which was previously applied to a static analysis is extended to include vibration and stability analyses. First, a mass matrix ...

Abstract: In this paper, the packaging aspects of directly modulated laser (DML) modules are investigated using detailed electromagnetic (EM) simulations. The packaging influences of the laser module are ...

Abstract: The architectural engineer has a considerable influence on the sustainability of buildings. The reduction in environmental impacts of building materials, as measured by life-cycle assessment (LCA), has recently become a ...

Abstract: A method consisting of a marriage between frozen stress photoelasticity and a computerized least-squares data analysis for extracting stress intensity factor (SIF) distributions in three-dimensional ...

Abstract: There are many applications throughout the military and commercial industries whose thermal profiles are dominated by intermittent and/or periodic pulsed thermal loads. Typical thermal solutions for transient applications ...
