Abstract: Wearout reliability and high temperature storage life (HTSL) activation energy of Au and Pdcoated Cu (PdCu) ball bonds are useful technical information for Cu wire deployment in nanoscale semiconductor device packaging. ...

Abstract: An implicit H∞ self-tuning control scheme is presented. Costing of the system error and control signals is achieved using a dynamic cost function. The H∞ optimal solution to this problem is ...

Abstract: Multivariate regional statistical models were developed to estimate flood peak values of various return periods in the Peninsular Malaysia. Annual maximum flood peak data were collected, screened, and analyzed to identify ...

Abstract: Markovian transition probabilities have been used extensively in the field of infrastructure management, to provide forecasts of facility conditions. However, existing approaches used to estimate these transition probabilities ...

Abstract: In this paper, an indirect and numerical time integration approach is proposed for dynamic analysis of space structures by using comprehensive wavelet functions. For this purpose, the proposed scheme is implemented on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study of reinforced concrete waffle slabs with a square layout of ribs. Tests to failure were carried out on eight large-scale (1/4-in. scale) models with varied rib spacing ...

Abstract: In slope engineering, soils are ordinarily in an unsaturated state. Today the application of unsaturated soil mechanics theory to slope stability analysis has become an essential point in geotechnical engineering research. ...
