Through Hole

This paper presents two simple and unique tests to extract shock-level loading limits for eutectic and lead free solders. A wide range of loading rates, from quasi-static to high speed, was applied to a through-hole-mounted anchor assembly test coupon. The high speed shock tests were conducted on a drop shock table where the impacting velocities were derived through table input adjustments. The quasi-static tests were done using controlled hydraulic linear actuator with a load cell. As would be assumed, the dynamic load to cause solder joint failure was found to increase with higher loading rate. However, at such a high loading rate range, the impact velocity did not change the load to failure. This study leads to an interesting hypothesis that at high loading rates, the solder joint strain rate may not see a significant change as observed at low rates.

Cheese whey and a dilute waste from a cheese factory with a Chemical Oxygen Demand of 66,000 and 4,000 mg (COD)/L respectively, were treated at high loading rates in 0.7 to 1.2 L downflow anaerobic stationary fixed film reactors and an upflow sludge bed reactor. In downflow stationary fixed film reactors treating cheese whey, COD removal efficiencies of 97% were achieved at a loading rate of 5 kg COD/m3/day and 92% at a maximum loading rate of 22 kg COD/m3/day. With dairy plant waste, loading rates of up to 15 kg COD/m3/day were possible with COD removal efficiencies averaging 75%, decreasing slightly with increasing loading rates. In an upflow sludge bed reactor the COD removal efficiency of dairy plant waste, decreased from 87% at 5 kg COD/m3/day to 73% at 15 kg COD/m3/day. A stationary fixed film reactor treating a skim milk powder waste (4,000 ppm) could only be operated at up to 10 kg COD/m3/day with a treatment efficiency of 72%. Methane was produced from all wastes at rates corresponding to 0.32 m3 CH4 (0°C, 1 atm) per kg COD removed. Results show that stationary fixed film reactors are capable of treating dairy wastes at high loading rates and high COD removal efficiencies.

This paper characterized bovine extraocular muscles (EOMs) using creep, which represents long-term stretching induced by a constant force. After preliminary optimization of testing conditions, 20 fresh EOM samples were subjected to four different loading rates of 1.67, 3.33, 8.33, and 16.67%/s, after which creep was observed for 1,500 s. A published quasilinear viscoelastic (QLV) relaxation function was transformed to a creep function that was compared with data. Repeatable creep was observed for each loading rate and was similar among all six anatomical EOMs. The mean creep coefficient after 1,500 seconds for a wide range of initial loading rates was at1.37±0.03(standard deviation, SD). The creep function derived from the relaxation-based QLV model agreed with observed creep to within 2.7% following 16.67%/s ramp loading. Measured creep agrees closely with a derived QLV model of EOM relaxation, validating a previous QLV model for characterization of EOM biomechanics.

Absorption Characteristics

Coupler rubber buffers are widely used in high-speed trains, to dissipate the impact energy between vehicles. The rubber buffer consists of two groups of rubbers, which are pre-compressed and then installed into the frame body. This paper specifically focuses on the energy absorption characteristics of the rubber buffers. Firstly, quasi-static compression tests were carried out for one and three pairs of rubber sheets, and the relationship between the energy absorption responses, i.e. Eabn  =  n ×  Eab1, Edissn =  n ×  Ediss1, and Ean =  Ea1, was obtained. Next, a series of quasi-static tests were performed for one pair of rubber sheet to investigate the energy absorption performance with different compression ratios of the rubber buffers. Then, impact tests with five impact velocities were conducted, and the coupler knuckle was destroyed when the impact velocity was 10.807 km/h. The results of the impact tests showed that with the increase of the impact velocity, the Eab, Ediss, and Ea of the rear buffer increased significantly, but the three responses of the front buffer did not increase much. Finally, the results of the impact tests and quasi-static tests were contrastively analyzed, which showed that with the increase of the stroke, the values of Eab, Ediss, and Ea increased. However, the increasing rates of the impact tests were higher than that of the quasi-static tests. The maximum value of Ea was 68.76% in the impact tests, which was relatively a high value for the vehicle coupler buffer. The energy capacity of the rear buffer for dynamic loading was determined as 22.98 kJ.

AbstractFree space optical communication systems (FSO’s) have surfaced as admired means of communication in the past few years. High speed of operation, low bandwidth requirements and system reliability are the major factors responsible for their wide range of applications. These communication systems use air as a medium of transmission. Since there is no component like fiber or cable, but air is only medium, the variations in atmospheric conditions play a vital role in performance of these networks. The reason behind is that the conditions like presence of humidity, haze, snowfall, rain, dust or smoke changes the attenuation coefficient of medium. The raised attenuation levels results in increased losses and need to be carefully monitored. The present work analyzes the influence of rain on the performance of FSO network in terms of quality of transmission. The paper discusses the impact of rainfall on attenuation coefficient of air. Then impact of this attenuation on network transmission is presented in terms of BER and Q-factor. In order to demonstrate the impact, BER and Q-value is calculated for 10 Gbps FSO link for clear weather and rainfall conditions.

Wide Range

An experimental method is described for measuring the fracture initiation properties of metals and alloys over a wide range of loading rates, which can cover over six orders of magnitude in K˙I (1 MPam s−1 ≤ K˙I ≤ 106 MPam s−1). With some modification of the standard compact tension specimen, a large series of screening tests can be performed in the high loading region at a relatively low cost. At the lower loading rates a standard closed loop testing machine can be used. To evaluate fracture initiation at a very high loading rate, a special arrangement of the split Hopkinson pressure bar has been proposed. Specimens of the same geometry as those used in quasi-static tests are placed between the Hopkinson bars. Since the wedge is attached to the incident bar, and the specimen is backed by the transmitter bar (Fig. 2), the course of specimen loading and fracturing can be exactly monitored by recording the incident, reflected and transmitted longitudinal waves. Using this technique, fracture initiation of the prefatigued specimen has been achieved within ∼ 20 μs after the beginning of specimen loading. The effects of inertia acting on the specimen and an error introduced by friction are both considered. Experiments performed on some aluminum alloys as well as on medium carbon steel revealed a complicated pattern of the fracture toughness behavior. Generally, for the strain rate sensitive materials a substantial decrease in fracture toughness was observed under high loading rates.

AbstractWe present a simulation procedure for fracture that self-consistently accounts for dislocation emission, dislocation migration and crack growth. We find that the dislocation microstructure in front of the crack tip is highly organized and shows a complex temporal-spatial evolution. The final dislocation microstructure and the number of emitted dislocations immediately proceeding fracture varies rapidly with the loading rate. For high loading rates, fracture occurs at smaller loads with increasing loading rate. However, the load at fracture shows a maximum with respect to loading rates.

A new modified CMOS buffer amplifier with rail-to-rail input and output range is proposed by TSMC 0.35μm 2P4M process at 3.3V supply. The technique adds dummy pairs to sense the common mode range of the input differential pair and adjusts the output current accordingly. The amplifier provides high gain for a wider range of output voltages. Design considerations for reducing the impact of the additional circuitry on the core are provided. The technique described can be adapted for use with traditional fully-differential rail-to-rail amplifiers, which performs 86.9dB ~92dB dc gain, 15 MHz unit-gain bandwidth, high driving ability with high slew rate under a 100pF capacitance and a 3kΩ series resistance loading. The simulation results indicate that the settling times of rising and falling edge are within 3.5μs. It is effective for a high resolution and high speed LCD driver.

Nanoindentation experiments were executed on amorphous metallic ribbons made of Fe40Ni40B20, Cu47Ti35Zr11Ni6Si1 and Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 that differ in microhardness and glass forming ability. The individual serrated plastic flow events were analyzed in a wide range of the loading rates. In the individual pop-in events of the load-displacement (P-h) curve the contributions of plastic deformation (Δhpl) were calculated depending on the loading rate and the alloy composition. It is concluded that the contribution of the serrated plastic deformation flow varies with the composition of the alloy. The highest plastic deformation for the individual pop-ins was observed for Zr-based metallic glasses.

The Impact

Solder joint reliability is very important to ensure that an integrated circuit (IC) semiconductor package is functional within its intended life span as the solder joint establishes electrical connection between the IC and the printed circuit board (PCB). Solder fatigue failure or crack under thermal cycling is one of the common problems with board-mounted packages. There are several factors or package characteristics that have impact on solder fatigue life like package size and material properties of the package components. This paper presents a thermo-mechanical modeling of a leadframe-based semiconductor package to study the impact of lead sidewall solder coverage and corner lead size on the solder joint reliability. Finite element analysis (FEA) technique was used to calculate the solder life considering 50% and 100% package lead sidewall solder coverage as well as smaller and larger critical corner leads of the package. The results of the analysis showed that higher lead sidewall solder coverage and larger lead could significantly increase solder life. Therefore, ensuring lead sidewall solder wettability to have higher solder coverage is beneficial. The study also reveals that packages with side wettable flanks are not only enabling high speed automated optical inspection required for the automotive industry, but they are also providing improved solder joint reliability.

In recent years, magnesium alloys are widely used for automotive applications as structural components due to its lightweight property and high specific strength. In this regards, magnesium alloys are subjected to high velocity and impact loads during accident. Hence, understanding the impact and dynamic behaviours of magnesium alloys are essential. In this study, the effect of loading rates on the fracture behaviour of Mg-Al-Zn alloys was investigated using pre-cracked single-edge notched bending (SENB) specimens. Three-point bending tests were conducted at different loading rates of 5, 50 and 500 mm/min. The Mg-Al-Zn alloys that used in the present study were extruded AZ31 and AZ61 magnesium alloys. From the load-load line displacement results, both alloys exhibited nonlinear fracture behaviour. The maximum load (Pmax) of these two alloys increased with increasing loading rate. Comparing both alloys, AZ61 exhibited higher Pmax than that of AZ31 due to the higher volume of b-phase and smaller grain size in AZ61. Fracture surface observation revealed that both alloys fractured in ductile manner with large scale yielding and high shear lips ratio at all loading rates.
