Abstract: By utilizing the mathematical analogy between the electrostatic fields and the elastic stress field, the electrostatic stresses in high voltage electronic device such as Traveling Wave Tubes (TWT) ...

Abstract: In-situ measurements were performed on organic based substrates under mechanical loading as well as land grid array electronic packages under thermal cycling. Whole field displacement measurements ...

Abstract: In practical analysis, under a plane stress condition, a unidirectional lamina can be assumed with E2=E3 from geometrical symmetry consideration. However, from an academic point of view, it is ...

Abstract: Natural hazards, such as earthquakes and strong wind events, place large forces on tall, slender structures and on long-span bridges. In view of the numerous uncertainties due to model errors, stress calculations, material ...
