Abstract: The bending bilayer technique is commonly employed to provide an empirical assessment of the often significant thermal stresses that develop in thin polymer films used in microelectronic packaging. ...

Abstract: The present paper concerns the description of uniaxial deformation and failure of ice in uniaxial compression in terms of a nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive theory. The constitutive model ...

Abstract: The scattering of a plane acoustic shock wave by a cylindrical cavity in an inviscid fluid medium is calculated numerically and compared with a recently obtained asymptotic expansion. In contrast ...

Abstract: This paper concerns the optimal cooling of thin viscoelastic plates so as to minimize the residual thermal stresses upon completion of the cool-down process. The thermorheological behavior of ...

Abstract: The suitability of the anaerobic/aerobic process was investigated for treating phosphorus-deficient wastewaters with highly variable influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading patterns to produce consistently low effluent ...

Abstract: This study explores several possibilities for a correspondence in the behavior of ice at failure during uniaxial creep (constant stress) and strength (constant strain rate) experiments. The usual ...

Abstract: Variation of the daily 500-mb hemispheric index of meridional circulation at latitudes 60N and 40N for the period 1 March 1959 to 12 July 1960 is examined by means of the spectrum-analysis method of Tukey. Some significant ...
