With the emergence of the modern electronic packaging technology over the last few decades, lead free solder alloys have been the primary interconnects material used in electronic packaging industry due to their relatively ...

Thermo-mechanical Reliability Models for Life Prediction of Area Array Electronics in Extreme Environments 

Singh, Naveen (2006-05-15)
The increasing functionality in modern microelectronics requires more complexity in less space and more reliability at lower cost. Demands on miniaturization have lead to the evolution of several types of area array packages ...

Thermo-mechanical reliability models for life prediction of ball grid arrays on Cu-core PCBS in extreme environments 

Drake, Jonathan (2007-08-15)
In this work, thermo-mechanical models for reliability prediction of BGA packages mounted on Cu-core printed circuit assemblies in harsh environments have been developed. The models have been developed based on thermo-mechanical ...

Thermodynamic Model and Initial Experimental Investigation of Air Dehumidification through Electrically Charged Vapor Capturing Electrostatic Droplets 

Morcelli, Stefano (2022-04-18)  ETD File Embargoed
The removal of water vapor from the air to reduce relative humidity is a well known indoor environmental comfort requirement. Common dehumidification approaches require a substantial amount of energy and usually involve ...

Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites 

Parit, Mahesh (2016-11-09)
This thesis describes the use of non-covalent functionalization of nanomaterials and pre-processing methods for improving thermal and mechanical properties of melt processed thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites. The effects ...

Thermosetting Polymers from Renewable Resources 

Sibaja, Bernal (2016-08-26)
Polymer science was born as an answer to the need to produce and to understand materials such as plastics, rubber, adhesives, fibers, and paints. It has been recognize as an interdisciplinary field, combining theoretical ...

Thermotolerance in Gossypium hirsutum 

Frederick, Samuel (2006-12-15)
Heat and drought are major factors that affect the annual cotton yield. Cotton farmers are always looking for plants that are more thermotolerant and drought tolerant to increase the yield. These characteristics can be ...

Thermotolerance of Hemlock (Tsuga spp.) and Investigation of a Foliar Disorder in Crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia indica ×fauriei) 

Wilson, Matthew (2010-07-19)
Foliar thermotolerance of six Tsuga species to direct heat injury was evaluated using electrolyte leakage. Species evaluated included: T. canadensis, T. caroliniana, T. chinensis, T. diversifolia, T. heterophylla, and T. ...

Theromdynamics of Steroid Estrogen Sorption to Activated Sludge 

Xu, Kai (2008-12-15)
Sorption is an important mechanism for removal of 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in biological wastewater treatment. In an effort to deepen our understanding of this process, this work investigated the underlying thermodynamic ...

Thick Film Packaging Techniques for 300°C Operation
