A higher-order theory for laminated composite beams is used to study the free vibration of laminated composite beams, and the differential quadrature method is employed to obtain the numerical solution of the governing differential equations. Free vibration analysis of beams with rectangular cross-s...

The stress in the thickness direction is an important factor influencing the fracture behavior of structural members. A stress σy tensioned flat plate with edge cracks is widely used as an analysis model. The stresses σx and σy for the plate model can be acquired from Neuber's s...

Chip-on-Film (CoF) is a packaging technology that mounts Integrated Circuits (IC) chips directly on a flexible substrate surface. As both power and the number of pins in such packages increase, thermal conditions become more important. In this paper, the thermal resistance of CoF packages is studied...

Aluminum alloys are typical nonlinear materials, and consequently bending members made of this material exhibit a nonlinear behavior. Most design codes do not pay much attention to such deformations and adopt a simple linear analysis for the calculation of deflections. This paper presents an investi...

The effects of genistein on several tumor cell lines were investigated to study the effects of genistein on cell growth, cell cycle, and apoptosis of two murine melanoma cell lines, 816 and K1735M2. These two closely related murine melanoma cell lines, however, have different responses to the genist...
