Viscoplastic Finite-element Simulation To Predict The Solder Joint Fatigue Life Of Different Flash Memory Die Stacking Architectures
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This thesis focuses on the viscoplastic finite-element simulation to predict the solder joint fatigue life of different die stacking architectures for flash memory products. Four different stacked package architectures ...
Investigation Of Pool Boiling Heat Transfer With Nanofluids
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This investigation conducts pool boiling experiments under saturated conditions (Tsat=60°C) using nanofluids as coolants. Four different nanofluids were tested including zinc oxide (ZnO)-water, aluminum oxide (Al2O3)-water, ...
Finite Element Analysis Of Moisture And Thermal Induced Stress In Flip Chip Packages
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The process of moisture absorption and subsequent hygroswelling stress development is a cause of concern in the IC packaging industry. Also thermal stresses developed during the lead free reflow process with a high peak ...
Structural Analysis Of Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A study of fiber reinforced composite structures is conducted .This study includes laminate analysis, analysis of laminated composite beams and parametric study of composite beams. Finite element analysis for each beam ...
Exploratory Studies Of Convective Flows Due To Arc Tracking
(Aerospace Engineering, 2007-09-17)
The objective of the research was to develop an understanding of how a flame propagates through an electronic enclosure. FLUENT®, a Navier-Stokes solver, was chosen due to its widespread commercial use, the availability ...
Design, Analysis And Development Of A Morphable Wing Structure For Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Performance Augmentation
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
In this research, we propose mechanisms to continuously morph a wing from a lower aspect ratio to a higher and to further extremities of a gull and an inverted-gull configuration. The mechanism comprises of a linear actuator ...
Air Jet Impingement For Levitation
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Traditional part acquisition methods such as vacuum cups and robotic grippers do not meet the handling needs of truly fragile materials, because both of these methods require surface contact. An alternative to these ...
