Reducing the aerodynamic noise produced by turbulent flow exciting a car window is one of the current noise control challenges in the automotive industry. Flow separation and later reattachment into a turbulent boundary layer and turbulent wake occur because of flow over the A-pillar and the wing mirror. Experiments have been carried out to represent an idealised wing mirror noise problem using flow over a half cylinder exciting a flat plate. A scanning P-U (pressure-particle velocity) probe was used to measure various aspects of the window response and sound radiation, including the energy distribution of the vibrating surface, the total radiated sound power and hence the radiation efficiency. In addition, experimental results showed that the operational deflection shapes of the car window can be visualized by using scanning particle velocity measurements, obtaining similar results as with step-by-step measurements using a roving accelerometer. The scanning sound intensity maps also proved to be helpful for detecting weaknesses of the initial experimental setup as part of the experimental optimization.

AbstractElectromigration experiments have been carried out on simple Cu dual-damascene interconnect tree structures consisting of straight via-to-via (or contact-to-contact) lines with an extra via in the middle of the line. As with Al-based interconnects, the reliability of a segment in this tree strongly depends on the stress conditions of the connected segment. Beyond this, there are important differences in the results obtained under similar test conditions for Al-based and Cu-based interconnect trees. These differences are thought to be associated with variations in the architectural schemes of the two metallizations. The absence of a conducting electromigrationresistant overlayer in Cu technology, and the possibility of liner rupture at stressed vias lead to significant differences in tree reliabilities in Cu compared to Al.

Abstract Unidirectional cord-rubber specimens in the form of tensile coupons and sandwich beams were used. Using specimens with the cords oriented at 0°, 45°, and 90° to the loading direction and appropriate data reduction, we were able to obtain complete characterization for the in-plane stress-strain response of single-ply, unidirectional cord-rubber composites. All strains were measured by means of liquid mercury strain gages, for which the nonlinear strain response characteristic was obtained by calibration. Stress-strain data were obtained for the cases of both cord tension and cord compression. Materials investigated were aramid-rubber, polyester-rubber, and steel-rubber.
