Abstract: The elastic-plastic-creep characteristics of solder joints are implemented in a nonlinear finite element program ABAQUS by developing user defined material subroutines. An eutectic Pb-Sn solder ...

Abstract: As watersheds are urbanized, the amount of impervious surfaces will be increased. As such, water infiltration will be reduced, and the volume of surface runoff will be increased. By retaining stormwater, best management ...

Abstract: A field investigation was performed to retest liquefaction and nonliquefaction sites from the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China. These sites were carefully investigated in 1978 and 1979 by using standard penetration test ...
