in the present study, the mechanical properties and fracture mechanisms of two powder metallurgy low alloy steels, i.e. distaloy dh and distaloy hp, were investigated. all samples were sintered at 1120 ºc for 30 min in n2/h2 atmosphere. for evaluation of the effect of cooling rate on final properties, samples were cooled from sintering temperature with two different cooling rates. in addition, ...

Modern electronics products move in the direction of complex, high density, high speed and also thinner and lighter for portability. Reliability of interconnection of electronics packaging has become critical issue. Major functions of electronic packaging are briefly discussed and failure mechanisms of electronic packaging are explained. Electronics packaging is subjected to mechanical vibratio...

BACKGROUND Fatigue damage of the long bones is prevalent in running athletes and military recruits due to vigorous mid- and long-term physical activity. The current study attempted to know the features of bony athletic fatigue damage and to explore the mechanism of fatigue damage repair through bone targeted remodeling process. METHODS Right ulnae of the Wistar rats were fatigue loaded on an ...

To give a proper and accurate estimation of the fatigue life of ball grid array (BGA) solder joints, a mechanical fatigue test method under mixed-mode loading is proposed. Experiments were conducted with 63Sn/37Pb and Sn/3.5Ag/0.75Cu solder joints in room temperature. The mechanical low cycle fatigue tests were performed under several loading angles. The loading angle is controlled by several g...

abstract – aluminium 7075- t651 alloys are widely used in the production of light weight structures requiring a high strength to weight ratio and high corrosion resistance. the effect of processing parameters on fatigue life of 7075- t651 aluminium joints produced by friction stir welding was investigated in the present study. welding samples were made by employing rotating tool speed of 770, 9...

in the present study, mechanical properties and low cycle fatigue behavior of a solid-solutionized aa6061 aluminum alloy produced by equal channel angular pressing (ecap) process were investigated. the grain refinement after two passes of ecap significantly increased the yield stress and ultimate tensile stress and decreased the ductility of the alloy. however, the improvement of low cycle fati...
