Let’s face it, when it comes to buildings and infrastructure, materials matter. A lot. The safety, durability, and performance of any structure hinge on the quality of the materials used. However, ...

The fracture features and failure mechanisms of tunnels excavated in shallow and deep rock masses are investigated using a series of three-dimensional heterogeneous models that incorporate cross ...

In my two previous columns, I discussed the lower and intermediate levels of the building block approach for crashworthiness testing and analysis of composite structures. I focused on the commercial ...

Failure analysis (FA) is an essential step for achieving sufficient yield in semiconductor manufacturing, but it’s struggling to keep pace with smaller dimensions, advanced packaging, and new power ...

When a chip malfunctions it’s the job of the failure analysis engineer to determine how it failed or significantly deviated from its key performance metrics. The cost of failure in the field can be ...

A team of physicists has developed a groundbreaking method for detecting congestive heart failure with greater ease and precision than previously thought possible. This multidisciplinary study, ...

1 School of Urban Construction, Yangtze University, Jingzhou, China. 2 Aeronautics Department, Nanchang Hangkong University, Nanchang, Jiangxi. This research investigates the problem of performing ...

A polypill containing all 4 classes of guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has been proposed to change the heart failure treatment paradigm. The ...

Abstract: This research proposes a novel hybrid reliability analysis method for rare failure events, which integrates the coupled Adaptive Kriging model and Generalized Subset Simulation (AK-GSS). In ...

Harmonics are an important cause of voltage distortion, and voltage reduction and voltage distortion are the main causes of commutation failure. But most of the current research studies on commutation ...
